He is a libertarian at heart, he is capable of getting himself elected, and he would put a stop to the leftist momentum right in the coming election instead of having to wait 8 or 12 years until Ron Paul has finally made libertarian ideas totally popular.<BR/><BR/>On what should be an irrelevant note, Romney is far more Christian than so-called "Christians" who cannot find it in their hearts to forgive his Mormon faith.Christian Prophethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10020964652943679070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-808757926787581518.post-24673970780170109372007-08-17T10:54:00.000-06:002007-08-17T10:54:00.000-06:00It's a very good thing libertarian message is appe...It's a very good thing libertarian message is appealing to all - no matter whether from left, or from the right. I have a hope this will bring about the positive change :-)<BR/><BR/>I also happen to think that spiritual connection is not an issue for Ron Paul - rather the opposite.<BR/>I invite you to see for yourself:<BR/>http://blogs.courant.com/news_opinion_hunter/2007/03/ron_paul_for_pr.html<BR/>http://www.lewrockwell.com/vance/vance109.html<BR/>http://www.theconservativevoice.com/article/23766.html<BR/>http://www.lewrockwell.com/paul/paul148.html<BR/><BR/>It seems that Ron Paul loves the God Almighty more than the state.<BR/>What about Mitt Romney?<BR/><BR/>I might've mentioned this in one of the older threads, but just as a reminder...<BR/>I am troubled (to say the least) by several Mitt's political positions:<BR/><BR/>- supports the federal government's involvement in education<BR/>- supported the Brady Bill in 1994 (a gun control regulation)<BR/>- as Governor of Massachusetts, signed legislation involving compulsory health-care accompanied with state subsidies<BR/>- favors minimum wage increases<BR/>- supported the use of enhanced interrogation techniques (a.k.a. torture)<BR/>- advocated installing government software to control every computer sold in the US (which demonstrates complete lack of understanding the new technologies)<BR/>- wants to increase government spending ( http://www.mittromney.com/Issue-Watch/Technology - as the best technology comes from the free market competition, that's another demonstration of the lack of qualifications... )<BR/><BR/>Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_positions_of_Mitt_Romney<BR/>Source: http://www.mittromney.com/<BR/><BR/>Sadly, while it's true Romney is not as bad as Clinton, the above positions hardly make him a libertarian or Christian candidate...Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03155815661102270775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-808757926787581518.post-82475609489199035112007-08-15T20:15:00.000-06:002007-08-15T20:15:00.000-06:00One problem, Mitt isn't libertarian.

What in Mitt's governance gives you the impression that his stance change on many issues isn't just a calculated ploy to appeal to more voters? No, a libertarians hope won't lie in Romney.
