For three years, from 1982 to 1985, Mr. Romney served as the bishop, or lay pastor, at his church in Belmont, Mass. After that, he served nine years as "stake" president, overseeing about a dozen Boston-area parishes.
Ah now we get to the issue. You don't like he's a mormon. Me? I could care less because he's not a theocrat. I find Huckabee far more dangerous in that regard.
As for Mitt... who cares if he prefers a nickname. Seems like you're the one trying to make an issue where none exists.
You're worried about lobbyists? I'd love to hear your myriad of criticims of Bush/Cheney for allowing lobbyists to run policy.
This is the kind of minutae that some people actually care about? No wonder we get such bad leadership if this is the sort of thing some of the electorate focus on.
Who cares? I go by my middle name as well. My first name is Robert, but my parents always called me by my middle name as a child.
This is an issue? Sheesh.
It seems you are trying to trivialize the topic of honesty in a Presidential candidate. As long as he has a nice smile who cares what he thinks, eh?
The other day Willard Mitt Romney stated that lobbyists do not run his campaign but he has one of the biggest lobbyists in Washington working for him.
The Mormons themselves have a checkered past that should be taken into account when a leader in the church shows up running for political office.

And he was right. Lobbiests dont run his campaign. Simply because he has hired one, doesnt mean they are running the campaign. It's not that difficult to understand. I dont exactly see how you can claim someone is lying when they arent.
It would be pretty stupid on the part of a candidate, to have a lobbyist officially registered to your campaign with the FEC, wouldn't it?
The big question is, why do you have lobbyists even working for you at all?
no mormon could be a theocrat because it's completely contrary to mormon theology which says we need to uphold the US constitution to protect religious freedom.
See, I think if Romney hadn't flip-flopped on social issues just to suck up to the evangelicals who weren't ever going to vote for him, anyway, he'd have been a shoe in for the republican nomination.
I almost agree with this, except how could he convince the fiscals?
Where in Romney's record can he claim fiscal conservative?
And if you say like some conservatives: "fiscal conservatism doesn't mean anything anymore", than why is the number 1 issue in this election the economy?
How are non-fiscal conservatives going to fix this almost unfixable economy, by not being as fiscally conservative as they possibly can?
Because most of these so-called fiscal conservatives aren't that at all. They're government haters who think we should defund the federal government and balance the budget by getting rid of any programs that helps people.
And seems to me that's far more radical than it is "conservative".

jillian, I don't know the fiscal program that romney espouses COMPLETELY, I'll admit that.
I know that if you're going to cut entitlements, you need to have a replacement in order to maintain what those people were accustomed to, or else you're going to have rioting, poverty, and DEATH.
To say that no one else NEW should be able to join in on the teet-sucking fest, at the behest of the government, is not such a bad thing.
Do you realize how many people refuse to even ATTEMPT to get a job, becasue they know they can just sit on their asses and collect DAMN GOOD MONEY, especially if they have kids?
OBVIOUSLY some kind of reform needs to take place. Not RHETORIC about reform to garner votes, but REAL REFORM.
Spending needs to be cut SOMEWHERE. And I'm talking about at LEAST 1 TRILLION dollars worth, for starters.
Where's that cut going to come from?
I'd say a couple billion from defense, a couple billion from entitlements, a couple billion on foreign aid..."couple" meaning obviously, enough to add up to 1 Trillion total.
Do you not agree? Because you can't tax us anymore than we already are. They tax us, and the middle class goes bankrupt. Whether they tax the middle class or the upper class.
Understand also, that this is coming from a person who's never seen more than $50,000 a year.
Because most of these so-called fiscal conservatives aren't that at all. They're government haters who think we should defund the federal government and balance the budget by getting rid of any programs that helps people.

You wanna know where to cut money first? The Department of Agriculture. That moneyhole takes in nearly $100 billion a year.
