Thompson would've been my first choice as well... especially since he had the highest conservative rating of them all.
Romney voted for gun control.. and though I'm not a single issue voter, that is a big one for me. Romney signed on for gay marriage, and I guess with two guys trying to procreate there might not be much of an abortion issue... but I'm a christian who believes life starts at the beginning. I also believe in responsibility. Often times abortion is about IRRESPONSIBILITY..along with entitlemens.
Romney is clearly a much better choice from the standpoint of running a business and fiscal responsibility... He has a better handle on terror I think too, as well as the border, but long term, tax cuts and less regulation is going to be the benefit to the economy.
Making Healthcare MANDATORY so we can pay for 20 million illegals is going to affect the economy in a huge way.
I don't like McCain. I have as visceral a feeling about McCain as I do about Slick Willy.
What I said about Huckabee carrying his state, is not the same as "willy" carrying his.... Huckabee was in competition with all of the other republicans, as was Romney..... Romney didn't get the votes from his own state, Huckabee did in a HUGE way. That tells me more about a governor than his rhetoric.
Aloha...
