- 1town, on 12/07/2007, -7/+1You are ***** me, right?
Oh, and WTF about the description?? "I happen to be left-handed. I can't help it." was quote about JFK's speech (Which was incredible)

- TheLaughingImp, on 12/07/2007, -2/+13I wish I had caught it live. Buchanan's review of the speech was also well done. I haven't often agreed with Buchanan.

- Bestlaw2007, on 12/07/2007, -3/+14I dunno if Romney is my favorite republican, but he opens up debate on religion in politics in a way I can support. He has my vote.
- JustyHakubi, on 12/07/2007, -1/+14I was someone who liked Romney before this speech, but I wasn't sure if I actually wanted to vote for him. After hearing his speech and his defense of American religious values my vote for him is more assured.
- Tangeuray, on 12/07/2007, -20/+1He grew up in a Racist religion that todays reminds me of a pyramid scheme.
- nber143, on 12/07/2007, -5/+2but blacks are now allowed to be a minister under Mormon unlike Catholics that still bans women to be a priest.
- wdgood, on 12/07/2007, -3/+3You sound like a jerk. Have you done any real research? Your communication skills indicate that you are, at best, a dull normal intellect, and a bigot.
- wdgood, on 12/07/2007, -1/+2Some people have a medical defect where their sigmoid colon empties into their cranial cavity. You should see a doctor.

- nber143, on 12/07/2007, -3/+11go to http://mittromney.com to view the whole speech. it was an excellent well delivered moving speech.
- jcbackus, on 12/07/2007, -2/+9Mitt Romney gave an incredibly moving, emotional, personal and inspiring speech. Talk about a man who actually believes in something. Unlike a certain woman in the race.....
- garryw, on 12/07/2007, -1/+8At the end of the speech I said to myself, it doesn't matter now. It doesn't matter what people think. I liked it and that is enough for me. Let them criticize till they turn blue in the face. Freedom of religion is the greatest gift in the world.
- flogistan, on 12/07/2007, -16/+1Every time I think I like old pat for a while... he'll always come up with some numb nutted neocon blather like this. Romney is one more authoritarian, mindless, constitution hating pin head. He puts all male models in a bad light. He's also going to make Jeb Bush his VP. Do we really want sixteen more years of bush white house control?
- Glynth, on 12/08/2007, -0/+3Let me sum up your remarks and the reasoning behind them.
"Romney is evil!! Cuz I say so!"
Sound about right?
- Glynth, on 12/08/2007, -0/+3Let me sum up your remarks and the reasoning behind them.
- jclarkinc, on 12/07/2007, -8/+3Ron Paul for President with Mitt Romney as his VP would be a great ticket.
- chupavacas, on 12/07/2007, -10/+3Ummm this Kool-Aide tastes good.
- McMescalero, on 12/07/2007, -2/+10I, too, am keeping my voting options open. I saw Romney give his speech and I was very impressed. Knowing that he wrote it himself (or some portion to be later revealed, or not, one never knows for sure anymore in the near time period afterward, but more time will tell; to me, it won't matter much) and that he disagreed with his advisors over it, tells me that he isn't the wooden automaton I thought he was. He let the shyest expression of the depth of his feelings show, without guile, with what seemed a deep appreciation for the gravity of the moment. He seemed to genuinely receive and grow more humble and more proud by the approbation of the audience. I was very favorably moved and am considering him more seriously.
- politicalguy, on 12/07/2007, -1/+8I have considered Mitt as a candidate before the speech, and he's still on my short list after it - perhaps he's even moved up a notch. This was an incredibly moving, well-written and crisply delivered speech on a heart-felt topic. He wove his faith into the fabric of America's history, which I thought was a great way to deal with what some believe to be a cult. I agree with him entirely that judging a candidate by his or her faith is wrong, and goes against the American way. I'll be following his campaign more closely.
- lcornell, on 12/07/2007, -4/+3Faith alone does not a candidate make. We need a real conservative in the White House. We really don't have one - just a bunch of posers. Look what the GOP has come to - nominating candidates from Tax-acheusetts, NY, and Arkansas.
- lesechang, on 12/07/2007, -1/+1Any Republican but McLame and Giuliani suits me fine.
- aname, on 12/07/2007, -2/+7I am a "Mormon" who initially favored Thompson (until I learned more about his Senate record), and then Huckabee. After this speech, I'm all for Mitt Romney. I still have a somewhat favorable opinion of Huckabee, although I don't care for his approach to illegal immigration. Mitt really knocked this one out of the park. I've heard that he writes his own speeches, and that his advisors begged him not to do this one. Good call on his part. That's what I call a glimpse of remarkable leadership.
- DoorFrame, on 12/07/2007, -4/+5"Freedom requires religion just as religion requires freedom." No, freedom can do just fine without religion.
- 1town, on 12/07/2007, -3/+2Yeah, that has to be the most ridiculous notion I have heard, and only uneducated religious people could hear that and think "that's so true".
Religion has notoriously been a force against freedom.- Fruncus, on 12/07/2007, -0/+3He was quoting Sam Adams you morons. And when has reliogion been a force against freedom? The most totalitarian regimes in history- the Nazis, Soviets, Chinese- were all militantly secular and anti-religious. The most powerful force in support of freedom in the history of the world is the United States- and the US was founded based upon traditional Christian values by unabashedly religious men. And BTW I'm not even religious, I just recognize that religion played a profound role in the formation of our nation.
- 1town, on 12/07/2007, -3/+2Yeah, that has to be the most ridiculous notion I have heard, and only uneducated religious people could hear that and think "that's so true".
- 1town, on 12/07/2007, -7/+2"I believe in an America where the seperation of church and state is absolute" -JFK, 1960
"The notion of separation of church and state has been taken by some beyond its original meaning," -Mitt Romney, 2007
If this the evolution of our presidential candidates, in a few years we might be voting for plants. - cutterboy, on 12/07/2007, -5/+2Big deal. No one can deny bush's faith. Look where that dolt got us.
- seanomoly, on 12/07/2007, -1/+3As one of those god-forsaken "secularists" I disagree with Romney's assertion that freedom can't survive without religion. Hogwash. But the speech was otherwise phenomenal, and Romney's a fantastic candidate. I've met him and he's very genuine and nice, and he's an incredible leader. The guy is a winner in everything he's done. Business and government. Huckabee is too liberal with immigration and Rudy is walking moral and ethical quagmire. ROMNEY is the ticket in 2008.
- seanomoly, on 12/07/2007, -0/+1BTW the quote at the top misquotes Pat Buchanan. He WASN'T saying Mitt's speech was like saying he was left handed. He was saying the opposite.
- sddm, on 12/07/2007, -1/+3In an imperfect world, and given the field we have to pick from, my money is on Mitt, IMHO.
- ronwagn, on 12/07/2007, -0/+3I have always favored Mitt, and am impressed with his speech on freedom of religion. Huckabee is too soft on the illegal alien issue, and would have a very hard time winning in the Northeast.
- ScreenAge, on 12/07/2007, -0/+2I leaned McCain at the beginning, then became impressed by Huckabee. I liked Romney as well, but Huckabee's position on taxes is spot on; we need exactly that kind of tax reform. After these last weeks though, I don't know.
Huckabee has come off as disingenuous when questioned about Romney's religion.
I must admit, I agree with Buchanan: Romney is more genuine.
I'm really at a loss for who I should vote for. - pjacobsuk, on 12/07/2007, -4/+0Romney said, "My faith is the faith of my fathers. I will be true to them and to my beliefs." Which fathers??? The Founding Fathers of America could have never known Joseph Smith when the Morman faith started in the latter part of the 1800's so he must be speaking of his religious ones. It was a good speech and I do believer that we all have a right to believe whatever we want - whether it's true or not. Because of the evidence surrounding us, I'm still voting for Huckabee
- TheLaughingImp, on 12/07/2007, -0/+5Romney was referring to his forefathers. That was pretty obvious, I thought.
I'm not sure what evidence you're referring to. You're not saying you're not voting for Romney because he's Mormon, are you? I hope not. That kind of attitude was what Romney criticized in his speech.
- TheLaughingImp, on 12/07/2007, -0/+5Romney was referring to his forefathers. That was pretty obvious, I thought.
- nooganmoss, on 12/07/2007, -1/+2pjacobsuk - You're a moron. Of course he's not talking about the Founding Fathers' faith being Mormon. He's talking about his ancestry being Mormon. Did you seriously not get that? And you wonder why a smart guy like yourself is voting for Huckabee.
- bliv711, on 12/07/2007, -4/+0Does all of this feel really orchestrated, or is it just me?
- TheLaughingImp, on 12/07/2007, -0/+4I think it's just you. Romney's been avoiding discussion of his religion because of his advisors. Now that the born-again Huckaboom has put Romney second in the polls, the religious issue needed to be addressed. It's interesting to me that his advisors STILL didn't want him to do it, but I think Mitt had good instincts here. Silence wasn't an option anymore. I believe the evangelicals were starting to swing support away from Romney because they insist Mormons aren't Christian.
I think it was especially interesting that Romney didn't address Mormon beliefs, but belief in general. That was definitely the wiser approach.

- mtolman, on 12/07/2007, -0/+4Great speech! Very sincere. No other candidate can match his well rounded record in business, public service and government. He has my vote.
- bitpolo, on 12/07/2007, -0/+4Great Speech. I like a person who stands on principle and doesn't bend to try and appease those who wouldn't vote for him regardless. The intolerant voters aren't going to be responsive to a person that doesn't share their view of the world. Mitt, a man of character, a quality missing in so many leaders today.
- tompaine99, on 12/07/2007, -4/+0Oh yeah, what we need in this world is more religion in politics. Morons.
- Glynth, on 12/08/2007, -0/+3No, what we need more of us people calling other people morons and harboring festering hatred for their political opponents! /sarc
In seriousness, though, what we need more of us people with principles!- Glynth, on 12/08/2007, -0/+1us = are, in both instances. /typo
- Glynth, on 12/08/2007, -0/+3No, what we need more of us people calling other people morons and harboring festering hatred for their political opponents! /sarc
- craginm, on 12/08/2007, -0/+2I completely agree with Pat's analysis - it was an eloquent, beautifully delivered speech. It really confirmed our history, and brought it to an audience, many of whom will never have heard this kind of exalted rhetoric, nor the basic facts of the founding of our nation.
