Mitt Romney is the candidate who did not give any personal, deceptive, information to the American people. He shared the facts that could inform us as Americans. I wasn't going to vote for him, until I started reading the truth instead of listening to the deceptive lies of the media and other candidates. I am glad Mike Huckabee believes in God, I am glad he is stopping McCain in his tracks. I would never vote for him because he professes to be a devout Christian, and then he decieves people.

I think in a lot of cases they are, but they let their emotions get the best of them(i'm guilty of that at times too). that's why its best to kind of remain emotionally neutral when there are things out of your control, and people are definately one thing we don't have control over, and luckily. elections will tell though. merry christmas.

I can appreciate your stance. I only wish that others would be so thoughtful in their critique...

[keyan99]

I can't say that i like his decisions -- that's why i don't support him -- but we can agree to disagree. Anyhow, good luck with your candidate.

[ThisIDig]

I agree. I admit that Huckabee has made mistakes, and he does as well. Thats a big reason why I like him- he is transparent and doesn't hide from scrutiny. He also makes sure people understand his side of the situation at the same time, which most of the time I can agree with his decisions.

[keyan99]

it seems we've found a common ground then. there are sources of information that don't display issues justly, but its done that way because it's what people want to hear. what i really don't like is when people cry that their candidate is portrayed improperly and then disregard that it happens across the board. it's the nature of politics. but i disagree with you that -- in this case -- the issues are portrayed wrongly. he has an liberal record, whether including context or not.

[ThisIDig]

I don't dispute the facts. It is how the facts are displayed, in a provocative manner- and many times out of context. I know you are intelligent, forgive my snide remark. I was pointing to the biased nature of our sources of information. God did an amazing thing by creating your beautiful soul! He has given you reason and judgment to understand the goodness of love! "You will know my people by how they love one another..." (Jesus Christ)

[keyan99]

yeah i do believe what you call propaganda, incorrectly. i like how people call anything they don't like propaganda. his commutations are fact, and i would never say his death sentences are propaganda. unfavorable does not equal propaganda.. if god did actually create my soul, then no. but who's to say that what you are praying for is the right person? if someone else becomes pres., were you praying for the wrong thing? should you be punished for wrongly interfering with god's will?

[ThisIDig]

Do you really believe all of the distorted propaganda? Please tell me you are more intelligent than that. I never said he was "tough" but that he is capable of making "tough decisions". He is a compassionate man that believes in justice. That comes from the fear of the Lord. Are you mad at God for interfering to create your soul?

[keyan99]

if you really stand by your man, you shouldn't cry when the truth comes out about him, "bought" or not. anyone who whines about the increased focused on a a person's record is only afraid that it will sway their own opinion of them.. I'll say it again, him killing people doesn't make him tough; he commuted lots of people and that speaks just as loudly as him killing people... and i'll be mad at god if he interferes with this election. if he exists, he should leave it up to the people he created.
