Romney could get McCain elected. Huckabee will get McCain defeated.

McCain and Obama both follow the advice of their "advisers", and if McCain's lackluster campaign is any indication, his staff will tell him to select Huckabee.

That would be the BEST thing that could happen... for Obama.

I hope John McCain picks Romney and Obama choses Biden.

Romney vs Biden in a debate. No competition. Biden would blow him out the water.

Romney is what McCain needs!!!

McCain/Romney 08!!!

Are you kidding? Romney would smoke Biden. Romney has shown he is an excellent debater.

I believe Romney has been the pick for some time now and Biden most likely is the dems pick.

First off Peter, Huck only has a part of the base.

Second, Huck leaves people are smart enough not to waste their vote especially when the Huck support is based on the right to life. The cause is greater than the candidate.

Third, it will never happen. Hucks personal asperations is to be President. His ego is much too large to give that up.

Certainly there are as many "opinions" as there are people BUT as Romney said "facts are stubborn things" and the FACTS are that Huckabee tops both the survey usa election polls realeased early June AND the most recent Rasmussen polls taken 7/25-27-08 as being the guy who HELPS McCain MOST on the ticket. Whether he is your guy or not, and though he is obviously NOT the favorite among Washington elitists (those guys we all said we are sick of) Huckabee is the hands down favorite with the majority of the American people! His decade of experience on the domestic front, great record in Arkansas, candor and honesty combined with wit and humor and his passion for the convictions he holds have earned him the trust and repect befitting the 2nd in command. I'm not saying McCain will pick him, I'm just saying, don't lie to yourselves and us by saying Romney will HELP McCain when Rasmussen says he hurts the ticket by 6 pts. He also tanked in a poll tanken in his homestate of MA...Whether you admit it or not, what Huckabee stated is honest (the only way he knows to be) a huge block of people have a problem with Romney's inconsistencies and his ugly primary campaign tactics (not even getting into his record in MA). If you want a dishonest candidate who will say whatever he thinks you want to hear, then you can find plenty of them. If you want a politician who is going to give you an HONEST answer, that is Mike Huckabee

McCain has 26 years of experience but but has shown very very poor judgment on issues like

1. The Iraq War

2. Supporting Bush`s failed economic policies.

3. Flip flopping on off shore drilling

4. McCain does not even have policies all he does is criticize Obama.

5. He is friends with right wing hate mongers like Rev Parsely and Hagee.

7. He is friends with lobbyists and Neo-Cons.

If people thought Bush could be a better president than McCain in 2000 then America is doomed when McCain is elected.

Here are the FACTS Linda...

As for Huckabee, tell me what he brings to the ticket outside of the south which McCain should/ must carry anyway? Take away the southern states and tell me what on earth Huckabee brings to the ticket ? You remember the primaries ???

West: Romney 42 %
Huckabee 14 %

Northeast: Romney 38 %
Huckabee 9 %

Midwest Romney 36 %
Huckabee 24 %

Here are the FACTS you want to look at...

As for Huckabee, tell me what he brings to the ticket outside of the south which McCain should/ must carry anyway? Take away the southern states and tell me what on earth Huckabee brings to the ticket ? You remember the primaries ???

West: Romney 42 %
Huckabee 14 %

Northeast: Romney 38 %
Huckabee 9 %

Midwest Romney 36 %
Huckabee 24 %

Daviv
If that were true he'd have won the nomination!

The conservatives on this blog stating Huckabee has no base are obviously blind. With this group, Bob Barr, and the Ron Paul supporters... GOP in big trouble.

Huckabee is a fine man, but not being seriously considered for any VP spot...a little jealous of Romney who, I believe has 39% of Republicans wanting him as VP. I'm fine with Romney, who has the fiscal background that would help this country. Huckabee is also the biggest Religious Right guy that ran, and he probably has a problem with LDS/Romney.
McCAIN/ROMNEY, McCAIN/LIBERMAN, McCAIN/ANYBODY!!!! ALL THE WAY TO THE WH!

As a Christian southerner, I can honestly say that McCain picking Huckabee would be a deal-breaker for me. Huckabee is absolutely the worst kind of politician. As Romney said, this is a time for the GOP to be coming together to defeat Obama, and yet Huckabee still wants to go on TV and bash Romney. What is with this guy????

Yes Yes Yes Debra. I'm hoping for a McCain/Liberman ticket too.

Romney is very right, but he has to understand that Cheney-Rumsfeld were the architects of the Irak war which was supported by Hillary and McBush, all four have lot of experience, but judgment is still laking. Romney will not bring anything that his millions to McSame to try again to buy the US presidency.

Also as a southern Christian, I am offended by the petty bickering of Huckabee. He does not represent my beliefs. I have more in common with Romney than Huckabee. Be uniters not dividers. Go McCain/Romney

Enough with the Huckabee nonsense. He is a has been blip on the screen. Look to the future. McCain/Romney

Dan,

I too am a Christian southerner and I second your comments. I won't vote for a McCain/Huckabee ticket. I am also tired of reading posts from Huck's army that state "Christians" won't vote for a ticket with Romney on it. Well, they need to stop speaking for all Christians because this one would happily vote for a ticket with Romney on it.

I liked Huckabee at first but quickly grew tired of his court jester routine and wouldn't want him anywhere near the Oval Office. Romney has exuded nothing but grace and class in defeat. Unlike Huck, he is working to unite the party and get McCain elected while the Huckster and his legion of bigots have resorted to threatening the GOP and sowing division.

Romney would smoke any Dem. in the debates! Its not even close!!

Romney is not the guy for the job. He was
a poor Governor spending much of his
time in New Hampshire. Dug us a big hole
giving us the universal medical plan, so big
that businesses are leaving the state.
Was totally against renewable energy because
most of his upper revenue supporters were from
Cape Cod.
Has NO experience in foreign diplomacy, which
brings us to "what happens if McCain becomes
ill" . The only thing he has is money, which he blew
millions on his failed attempt for office.

Um you were correct Romney then McCain would of been the one who was against Iraq in the beginning. It was Obama who realized that Iraq was a bad idea and a sham. It was McCain who was had horrible judgment and mislead us into believing lies.
That fact that McCain's judgment is bad, and that he has no examples of good judgment is proof enough that Romney is spewing lies.

Many years ago upon entering the work force post-college, I quickly learned a valuable lesson. Age is no indication of maturity and experience is no indication of judgement. If that were the case, we would have never invaded Iraq in the first place and McCain and Bush would not have been celebrating McCain's birthday when New Orleans was drowning under Katrina. McCain is all about military and guns, but that argument is void without respect, humility and the understanding that listening and knowledge is power too.

TOTALLY AGREEE. I OULDN;T AGREE MORE, MITT.

Thanks for the kind words, Shelby! I'm the same Sulla.

I'm in the same boat, Ci2Eye. I started out liking Huckabee, but he lost me in the month before the Iowa caucus. Nothing I've seen from him since has tempted me to rethink my disenchantment.

Romney all the way!!

It's about judgment, my friends:

McCain in controversial Couric interview:

"The fact is we had four years of failed policy. We were losing. We were losing the war in Iraq. The consequences of failure and defeat of the United States of America in the first major conflict since 9/11 would have had devastating impacts throughout the region and the world.”

You have to ask, why would you support a president responsible for four years of failure.

“no one has supported President Bush on Iraq more than I have.” [John McCain, 03/28/08)

“The fact is that I have agreed with President Bush far more than I have disagreed. And on the transcendent issues, the most important issues of our day, I’ve been totally in agreement and support of President Bush.” [John McCain, 06/19/05]

“I am proud of this president’s strategy in Iraq.” [John McCain, upon receiving endorsement from President Bush, 02/13/08]

Quotes are a living history of our thought processes, how well we think, what we think and when we think it. Even Carly can't change that fact:

“To say that John McCain was aligned with President Bush on the prosecution of the war in Iraq is to change history.” [Carly Fiorina, McCain Campaign Advisor, 07/13/08]

Try this comparison on for size:

Senator McCain: Family Paid Prep Schools (poor grades) and Legacy admittance to Annapolis where he squandered the tax payer's money graduating 5th from bottom of his class (894th out of 899).

Senator Obama: Catholic Grade School & Scholarship (academic) to Prep School; Columbia undergrad on scholarships and loans; Harvard Law (President of Law Review) also on loans (finally paid off less than 10 years ago).

Senator McCain: Advancement in Navy on Legacy of father & grandfather (both Admirals), crashed most planes he flew on the tax payer's money, told he would never make Admiral so he quits, divorces wife #1 because she is severely disabled from an auto accident and no longer pretty enough, but not before he has begun dating wife # 2, whose father is millionaire beer guy, goes to work for daddy-in-law, then runs for office (financed by daddy-in-law) and once again skates on the tax payer's money...and has done so with glee since (oh, yes, let's not forget he's a war hero--like many thousands of others, most of whom don't spend every day reminding anyone who will listen).

Senator Obama: Works for faith-based community organizations in Chicago helping unemployed and disenfranchised; Civil Rights Attorney; Constitutional Law Professor; State Senator; US Senator (and he's only 47 yrs old and married to his one and only wife, who is also accomplished).

Senator McCain: Known to be hot tempered and perpetually angry...ready to fight any war..."I know how to win a war"...really, and what war was that?

Senator Obama: Known to be even tempered and thoughtful. Prepared to fight if necessary; willing and able to use diplomacy; not "anxious" to throw away American lives because he has a temper tantrum (see McCain above).

I watched the video clip embedded in the article of this exchange. All I can say is wow, I didn't know much about Romney but he has my vote now.

I am a Southern Christian (TX) and I agree Huckabee is a disaster and does not represent me. It's time to stop bickering and get behind McCain. I have no problem with Romney.

Mitt Romney will be an outstanding Vice President for all Americans!
McCain/Romney08

Thanks Micah! :)

"MITT ROMNEY IS THE BEST QUALIFIED CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT. His record of accomplishments is sensational. Harvard Law and MBA cum laude simultaneously, Baker Scholar, created Staples, Timberland, Dominoes Pizza and many more. Was called in to turn Massachusetts into a thriving state and did so working without pay. Begged to save the failing Salt Lakes Olympics and did so brilliantly again refusing compensation. A married man with fine children and spotless record of integrity. He would make a great V.P. for McCain. Only the bigotry of Huckabee and his group of evangelists who disagree with the theology of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints, an organization of 13 million Christians in 130 countries whose charitable and humanitarian projects are legend, including Katrina and tsunami relief, not to mention the famous Mormon Tabernacle Choir of which Mitt Romney and some 16 members of Congress are members.

This bigotry should be rejected by McCain and Mitt Romney chosen as his running mate. The two great issues that face America today are Foreign policy and Security and the economy. The combination of McCain Romney is irresistable."

It's interesting that Mitt Romney is able to put his ego aside and work for John McCain - the man who tag teamed with Huckabee to beat up on him! He does so because he loves his country and he knows that Obama would be a nightmare! Huckabee continues to show his ignorance and bigotry. He continues to think his opinion matters - it doesn't.

It is very interesting that some of america is concerned about Romney,
(nevermind Obama's background)
who has a steller backgroud and is a good CHRISTIAN family man.
What has Huckabee done for anyone lately?... other than blow noise .
We Need ROMNEY to help with this economy.

Romney would wipe the floor with any democrat counterpart.

Amen to all who mentioned Huckabee's self-centered attitude. The more I hear about him, the less I think of him. He is only proving he is too full of himself to ever have led this country. Great leaders sacrifice what is good for themselves for what is good for the masses. Romney has done more behind the scenes (not politically related, but serving his community and church without pay or aggrandizement) than most will ever know, and he never mentions it, because he didn't do it for himself, he did it out of concern for his fellow man and his family. My opinion of Romney has only grown...

Born and raised in French Canada (Montreal) to Ukrainian Catholic immigrant parents I always thought of myself as 'multi-cultural' and though of myself as a conservative. I moved to Boston in 2000 for employment opportunities and realized compared to most Bostonians I was in fact quite Liberal. I think that the whole Canadian spectrum is left of center relative to the USA. However, I had the pleasure to see Mitt Romney rise to power as the state governor. I didn't realize just how corrupt the state was until he began to 'clean' it up, and up, and up. The Big Dig, the skimming at the Transit System, the mob in law enforcement and the judiciary, the corruption in government, and on and on. This 'outsider' Mormon came to the Bay State and clean it up like no Catholic could. What an amazing talent. Having family in Ukraine you can imagine how frightened we were about the recent events in Georgia - and we remain so. I'm sorry to say, that Senator Obama complete (100%) failed the 3:00 a.m. test and John McCain shinned. I still think I'm more liberal than most Americans, but I would vote hands down for the McCain Romney ticket - if I could. I 'shrill' at the thought of Senator Obama getting that 3:00 a.m. call. I still haven't applied for citizenship. I'm not sure I will - no offense, I like this country a lot but plan on going back home some day. Romney is they guy to put on the ticket with McCain. Good luck America !

McCain/Romney '08!

I could live with Rice, too, but she doesn't want it.

If McCain wants to WIN he will pick Romney.

One should not judge Romney's popularity by what a few people with alternative motives say. Note that Romney took a STRONG second in the primaries.

Had certain states not been all or nothing like NY/NJ (thanks to Giuliani), it would have been even closer in the electoral count.

For most of the primary race (prior to Florida), Romney was ahead in both popular vote and electoral votes.

These people have not forgotten Mitt, and if they voted for him once, they will vote for him again, to McCain's benefit.

Romney? Seriously? Is the GOP talent pool that shallow that McCain would go with a guy that he clearly despises? That would be a doomed ticket.

Whats a heatbeat? What is a false Christian? I thought mormons believed in Christ, so wouldnt that mean he is a true Christian. Romeny would destroy Biden in a Debat! Go M/R 2008!

'Judgment Comes from Experience' - Um, I guess Romney is unaware that senior citizens are the biggest target of fraud and internet crime, which are both crimes that prey on those with poor decision making skills. Oh well...

MITT ROMNEYS RECORD IS BLOCKING HIM FROM BEING VP AND NOTHING ELSE...THIS MAN IS AS LIBERAL VOTING RECORD AS OBAMA...HE GIVES AWAY 50.00 ABORTION GIFT CERTIFICATES AND HIS STATE IF EVERY ONE WOULD REMEMBER, WAS THE FIRST STATE TO PASS GAY MARRAIGE...HE NEVER PASSED NOT ONE SINGLE CONSERVATIVE PIECE OF LEGISLATION SOCIAL OR FISCAL...HE IS A JOKE, A PUPPET FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, BUT NOT WITH MY VOTE I WILL NEVER EVER VOTE FOR MITT FLIP NOR OBAMA THEY ARE BOTH THE SAME, FLIP FLOPPING DO WHAT EVER AND SAY WHAT EVER IT TAKES POLITICIANS LOOKING FOR POWER!

Huckabe seems to be testing his political strength by calling for McCain to choose anyone but Romney. He treathens to be a third party choice if McCain doesn't heed the advice. He sounds like a divider to me. Romney, on the other hand states that he supports whom ever McCain will choose as his VP. Even though they each have different views Romney is out campaining whole heartedly for McCain. Sounds like a unifier to me. Let's see, who is the better VP choice, a divider or a unifier?

McCain/Romney seems like a good fit.

Re: edora

You have been fed lies. In case you haven't heard, the name of the "Mormon" Church is actually, "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints". I am a member, and yes, a Christian..unless the "true" meaning of "Christian" is: "one who seeks to put down other religions, particularly the Mormon religion, and spends time only talking about being a Christian."
Visit an LDS Church sometime and see for yourself if we are Christians.

If McCain has such good judgement, then why did he vote for the war in Iraq? Why does he *continue* to support the war?

You talk about out-of-control spending: we've spent nearly a trillion dollars on the Iraq war with little to no benefit for America. In fact, according to our intelligence agencies, it's made us *less* safe from terrorism, not more safe.

We're paying $12 billion a month in Iraq, or $40 a month per every man, woman, and child in America. (A family of four pays $160 a month.) What are we getting out of that?

Reality: Saddleback Will Not Change Peoples Minds, when their Minds are Made up and don't Forget the Demographics Below.....

1. Obama Still Leads in the Polls

2. John McCain has NEVER LEAD in the Polls.

3. Polls don't Matter

4. Polls are Deceptive

5. Early Voting in Some States Favors Obama

6. Most People have made up their MINDS...Sorry

7. Freedom of Religion, Agnostics, Atheist and People Indifferent Towards Religions, will not be MOVED by Saddleback...Sorry

Note: Newly Sworn In Americans from 10 Years back to the Most Present, will Overwhelmingly Vote for Obama. Afro Americans, Hispanic & Asian Americans will Overwhelmingly Vote for Obama.

Bi-Racial Americans ages 18 & Upwards will Vote for Obama.

Young White America 18-45, Male and Female will Vote for Obama in Large Numbers. The Highly Educated and Poor America, that Spans all Races.

Independent Voters will Overwhelmingly Vote for Obama. All Single Mothers in America, Regardless of Race.

Parents of Bi-Racial Children will Vote for Obama and Large Military and Americans Abroad will Vote for Obama.

Young Independent & Moderate Republicans will Vote for Obama and the Gay American Vote as well.

American Females Make Up the Majority Of America and Most will Vote for Obama. The Pro-Choice Female Vote , Roe Vs. Wade, Pro-Choice an "A Woman's Right to Choose" Plays a Big Factor, Obama will get that Vote, EASILY.

American Females & Parents Against the War, will Easily Vote for Obama.

Most of these People have made up their Minds, Already and No saddleback Church will change that. Keep this in Mind, also Obama Garnered (18 Milion Votes Too) and Most of Clinton's Voters are going to Vote Democratic Anyway, they have already cast her Aside, as they Refuse to help her get Rid of her Campaign ( SHE STILL OWES MILLIONS)

Note Obama made 51 Million Dollars last Month, who do you think is Divying Up The Cash...Hmmmm

John McCain and Racist White America have Not Factored all these Demographics, at all and they will come back to Haunt him in November.

Underestimating Obama will Prove itself Real, this coming Novemeber, as a Very Big McCain Blunder.

John Mccain has yet to Wear a Pin Flag, yet Obama has to Absolutely Wear a flag Pin...

Bull-Spit

Obama should specify that Semi-Senile John McCain has yet to be Filmed Wearing a Flag Pin and he should mention it at one of those DEBATES....

Mccain's Wife Cindy, wears the Absolute Teeeny Tiniest Flag Pin, she can Wear, while John McCain NEVER WEARS a FLAG OIN...NEVER !!!

FACT

Huckabee lacks the maturity to be anywhere near the Oval office.

McCain / Romney 2008 !!!

Judgment comes from experience???

Three word response: George. Walker. Bush.

It is not quite true. Experience does not always lead to good judgment. Experience only makes you better at what you have been doing all along. A politician who has honed his skills delivering for the wealthy is not going to make a good leader for the country.

Judgment? The single greatest foreign policy disaster in American history is the ongoing Iraq War. McCain got it wrong. Experience does not automatically create good judgment. There are plenty of people who never learn from their mistakes, and McCain is one of them. McCain was involved in Vietnam, another clusterf__k of a war. Did that experience affect his judgment and help him make the correct decision to not get mired in a needless war?

As for Romney as VP, he has excellent hair, I'll give him that.

ROMNEY deserves to be President more than Obama ever will.

If this Daschle/Romney debate/interview is any indication of what the future holds for us I'm all for Romney. Daschle looked like a complete clown speaking of vague concepts and soft solutions. Romney was specific and clear of why we address these things the way that we do. And good for Romney in deflecting the Huckabee bash to help unite the party. Romney is the real deal here, Huckabee and Daschle are fraudulent clowns.

Another Southern for Gov Romney....been in the trenches and military for 32 years and this guy impresses me so much.

He rises above the crap and 100 times smarter than anybody in both campaigns. I think he has great judgement and sticks to his guns. He be da' man to help Sen McCain most, no doubt.

Micah said that Huckabee is honest. I have to laugh because whenever I think of Huckabee I think of a man who was getting wedding gifts on a registry 20-30 years into his marriage to avoid the rules and laws of his office. And I will never forget the time he held a grand press conference declaring that he had an attack ad ready but because he was of such good moral character he decided he was not going to release it. Oh yeah but you guys in the press corps can see it if you want, acting as if it wouldn't get circulated that way with free press. Some of the reporters were laughing at his miserable attempt at appearing coy. This has nothing to do with his honesty but more to do with his disregard for the constitution he said he would change it to conform more with the bible. I wonder what he would include stoning homosexuals to death or killing sabbath breakers. Wierd guy he doesn't let his wife say a word. His son slaughters a dog a summer camp. He makes me a little uneasy.

I would love to see them let Romney loose on Obama in a debate. Ba ba ba uh uh ah I uh I think I need to talk to Michelle hold on. Romney would chew him up and spit him out.

Huckabee is a lying devil. Anyone who believes his intentions are not motivated by his hatred for Mormons doesn't understand the religion he follows. It doesn't matter how conservative the candidate is...if he/she is a Mormon, Huckabee would rather see the country burn than have that person in the white house.

I don't know where you people live, but out here where I live (Colorado, nearly into Utah), if you ask a Mormon if other Christians are going to heaven, the answer is "No." Why is this never mentioned? Mormons don't believe in the Trinity - the have three Gods - the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. (and believe they can become gods) I was told by Mormons at my door that I needed to follow their prophet.

Nancy - You spoke with the wrong Mormon then. Mormon doctrine does not teach who is going to Heaven or Hell...it teaches that Jesus decides that...except for Huckabee...he's going to hell for sure.

Here's and interesting quote from another report for those that feel Mormonism has nothing to do with it..."I think Romney would be very acceptable to the foreign policy conservatives and the economic conservatives," said Richard Land of the Southern Baptist Convention's public policy arm. "But I think it's fair to say that about 15 to 20 percent of evangelicals would have a difficult time voting for a Mormon on either side of the ticket." Flippin' Baptists!

Im a southern baptist, and no way in hell I'd vote for Huckabee. I have 2 Mormon neighbors and they are the salt of the earth. I have nothing but respect for their values and their love of Jesus. They actually LIVE their religion. Unlike most of my congregation.

Huckabee is a dunce, and we all know it. Romney is right up there with my neighbors. Strong family, well respected, strong morals and values.

I just wish Romney was still on the ticket. McCain/Romney would make me very happy indeed

Mike: True, but I think its fair to say that 15-20 percent of evangelicals (notice I didn't use the word Christian) are bigots and fanatics.

The modern day pharisees.

Mike: You are peddling mis-information. This is what Mormons believe about who will receive salvation...From the Book of Mormon

Alma 41:2 I say unto thee, my son, that the plan of restoration is requisite with the justice of God; for it is requisite that all things should be restored to their proper order. Behold, it is requisite and just, according to the power and resurrection of Christ, that the soul of man should be restored to its body, and that every apart of the body should be restored to itself.
3 And it is requisite with the justice of God that men should be judged according to their works; and if their works were good in this life, and the desires of their hearts were good, that they should also, at the last day, be restored unto that which is good.
4 And if their works are evil they shall be restored unto them for evil. Therefore, all things shall be restored to their proper order, every thing to its natural frame—mortality raised to immortality, corruption to incorruption—raised to endless happiness to inherit the kingdom of God, or to endless misery to inherit the kingdom of the devil, the one on one hand, the other on the other—
5 The one raised to happiness according to his desires of happiness, or good according to his desires of good; and the other to evil according to his desires of evil; for as he has desired to do evil all the day long even so shall he have his reward of evil when the night cometh.
6 And so it is on the other hand. If he hath repented of his sins, and desired righteousness until the end of his days, even so he shall be rewarded unto righteousness.
7 These are they that are redeemed of the Lord; yea, these are they that are taken out, that are delivered from that endless night of darkness; and thus they stand or fall; for behold, they are their own judges, whether to do good or do evil.

I am Southern Baptist, and Huckabee is good decent man, but I'd never want him as President. He doesn't hold a candle to Romney on any level.
I heard someone criticizing Romney for having TOO perfect a family. For being TOO successful, for being TOO smart.
I think that is STUPID! Here is someone who obviously has a formula in his life that lead to strong family, success in business, success in every aspect of his life.

And you know what? I loved his religion speech. I actually got goosebumps and teary-eyed during it. I will never forget that.

I used to say "I'm running for president and not Pastor-in-Chief", Well Romney, I WISH YOU WOULD RUN FOR PASTOR IN CHIEF! We could use you!

Bryan: This is what the Bible teaches about who will receive salvation:

James 1:

12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.

21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

There are only two religions in the world, -the DO religion, and the DONE religion.
The DO religions, Mormons and others, believe they must earn eternal life. They are never sure they have done enough. (Mike: "Jesus decides?")
I belong to the DONE religion. Jesus paid for all my sins, and the sins of the whole world. He rose to prove his Godhead, and His victory over death. He bought my ticket to heaven. I am SURE of eternal life.
Whatever "good" I might do, is done in thankgiving for His gift to me.

Nancy:

You're absolutely right. Boy it sure doesn't makes sense to have a VP who is still trying to do his best (Mitt Romney) each and every day of his life.

Crazy isn't it? It would be ludicrous to have a guy who is trying to be "perfect" as our VP. We want a guy who believes that he no longer needs to strive for making good choices.

Huckabee gave a pair of television interviews this week in which he criticized Mitt Romney as unacceptable to social conservatives. He then stated it had nothing to do with Romney's religion. Oh please, the ONLY reason the evangelicals dislike Romney is because of his religion.

It's a shame we can't escape religious persecution, even in America.

It boggles the mind that the Huckabee bigots still believe Huck could have any chance at high office with the many skeletons in his closet, including as someone mentioned above, raising a son who slaughtered a dog at summer camp. SCARY family!

The nail in Huck's coffin was his comment at the NRA about Obama diving away from a gun. Google "Huckabee Obama gun"

You will get ONE MILLION HITS!!! Seriously!!! This was a BIG DEAL and we'd never hear the end of it if Huck were on the ticket! He never had a chance anyway, once so many began to see his true character, or lack of it, I should say.

MCCAIN/ROMNEY 08!!!

Romney is an very knowledgeable on foreign affairs and would be a good match against Biden in a VP debate.

Sorry..meant to say that Romney is VERY knowledgeable on foreign affairs and would be a good match against Biden in a VP debate.

CJF, your comments are scary. Is that how people really think about the atonement? Scary! So you really think that you're not responsible for anything in this lifetime and your cruising on easy street now? You can be as rotten as you want to be everyday and once in a while if you do something not so rotten, it's just to show some gratitude for what Christ did? Now I'm beginning to understand more fully why this country deteriorates at the rapid rate that it does. Interesting! Have someone pick you up for church next Sunday. You'd be amazed at what you actually learn there. You are held responsible for what you do. The atonement only takes affect if you repent for what you do wrong and truly strive to do better next time. The intent of your heart counts too when you're repenting, by the way.

Sorry CJF, that last comment was actually meant for Nancy.
I hope McCain chooses Romney. That would be the smartest thing he's done in a while in my opinion. Obama's playing hardball and McCain needs a heavy bat. Romney is the biggest bat the GOP has for VP. Romney will get the job done by the end of the first debate. McCain/Mitt '08

I believe Romney would be a wise choice for vp. He brings so much to a winning ticket. After watching and listening to several sources, I feel very good about Romney. I will vote early if McCain & Romney are together.

why is it that Huckabee is so jealous and trying to tear the party apart? He hates Romney...why...because he is a Mormon? Huckabee is not a "real" Christian. but one in name only.. if he hates someone just because of their religion. Though he may not know it, Christ said to "love your neighbor"...and pray for them that "despitely use you". I imagine Romney might be praying for Huckabee.

Are we electing a pastor? or a commander-in-chief?. People, please think hard and use both brains and heart to decide in November who to elect President.
McCain needed Romney not the arrogant religious bigot Huckabee.
Democrat Obama is not the answer to our problems.
McCain's answers to the Saddleback forum last Sunday, definitely showed McCain is ready on Day one to step on the plate and be commander-in-chief.
One issue that Obama totally failed is on abortion. It is "above" his grade. Because he is PRO-abortion, he is not a Christian. Maybe Christian in name only.
Look, he joined a church with Jeremiah Wright who is wrong on everyting we americans believe in. He hated America. Obama was in this Anti-american church for 20 years.
And you Christians are going to elect Obama?. His vote on abortion and his answer to Rev Rick Warren on Abortion made me confirm my long time held belief that Obama is the wrong guy. He is a disaster to this country. "Many will be deceived". Words in the bible during the "end times". Also in the bible: "God gave life and only God could take it". If Obama is Christian he will not hesitate to answer and "dance" around the question of "when life begins" by saying "it is above my grade". Boy, what kind of Christian is that?. He is definitely not a Christian. He is something else.
I will not hesitate to vote McCain/Romney any time, any day.
