I'll vote for the Rep. candidate this time if he makes Ron Paul his VP.

With Romney in the VP spot, when McCain loses in November, Romney will be poised as the frontrunner in 2012.

Should I not vote for Chuck Baldwin because he is Baptist?

Religion is not the main issue here for me, although Romney being hypocritical does add to the long list of reasons why I wouldn't vote for him. If Romney were 7th day adventist, jewish, buddhist, Sikh, or Zoroastrian, I still wouldn't vote for him.
Like I said. I'd love to have an LDS president if I was confident that he would uphold the Constitution. But Romney wouldn't. That's my main beef with him.

That is laughable. Leopards don't change thier spots.

I am afraid that Mitt Romney may have misrepresented the Church with his past and increasingly known stances on certain doctrinal, moral and constitutional principles.  

I doubt any young LDS who had in past publicly supported abortion and homosexual interests and publicly stated that the last time he knew of that God spoke to man was to Moses at the bush would be considered for a mission.  Imagine if people who had followed Romney's political history and presidential campaign were to investigate, or even join the Church, and then find out the real position of the Church on certain issues that Romney misrepresented.         

Yes, I did 2 years in NC, but at a time in my life when I was not LDS nor interested in political issues.  But then, that recent year and a half in SLC convinced me that I'm on a much different page than most LDSs. 

Other than Ron Paul, the only congressman I know to have always upheld the US Constitution in Congress was Laurence P. McDonald, D-GA.  As a conservative Democrat he maintained a strong pro-Constitution voting record.  He was a staunch, outspoken opponent of communism.  Like Ron Paul, he believed there were covert efforts by powerful groups in America to bring about a world socialist government.  And like Paul, he had been a military flight surgeon.  While in Congress, McDonald became the President of the John Birch Society and founded the Western Goals Foundation.  

His record as a Democrat in Congress, therefore, is far more "conservative" and pro-Constitution than that of any current or recent LDS congressman I know of.  

Shyeah, no kidding! She told us after the fact like, "Bet you can't get the secret ingredient!" kinda' thing. It did have a weird taste but I couldn't identify it. It all made sense afterword. In a nonsensical kind of way...

I had a coworker who makes cookies with mayonaisse. He said, just like Beef said, that it just makes them moist. Further, he said that many commercial bakeries do things that way, so the cookie you order that has been sitting in the display case for several hours actually will still be moist when you buy it and eat it.

Had a chat yesterday with someone "in the know" in the McCain campaign. Romney is no longer being considered. At present, it's Pawlenty.

Pudding mix makes your cake moist. So does a mouthful of water...

I think that's the evangelicals main problem, though. They won't go beyond that to even look at the politics.

About 10 years ago I participated in an effort in Arizona to recall Senator McCain.  He is bad news.  And Mitt Romney's support of McCain is yet another reason I am so hard on Romney.  I cannot figure out why Romney would support McCain unless he wants the White House badly enough to throw principles to the wind as he did when he ran against Ted Kennedy for the US Senate. 

If you listen to Romney says, it sounds like he supports McCain mostly because he really doesn't want Obama to become president. It boils down to supporting the Republicans because they are the ones that can possibly stop the Democrats.

Vote third party and help break the backs of the Repub and Demon parties. More and more people are starting to do this. The BS of "you are throwing your vote away" is nothing more then the two parties trying to manipulate you into continuing their strangleholds. Enough is enough.

It seems to me, as acting secretary of the Arizona Constitution Party, that more people are noticing that there are tremendous forces challenging our constitutional principles, and our rights and our freedoms.  Our country is in real jeopardy, and it will require aggressive political action to correct this "awful situation".  Both the Democrats and Republicans have squandered the Founding Fathers' legacy of liberty and justice under the Constitution.  Many if not most government officials in the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of our government ignore their oath to uphold and defend the U.S. Constitution, and "we the people" have allowed this to happen.  Both of the leading political parties follow basically the same agenda, which includes increasing changes in our government leading to regional, and then global  governance.  There is another political organization dedicated to fixing what is happening and restoring and protecting our freedoms.  I recommend that you consider the Constitution Party.  It is the only political party that espouses the U.S. Constitution in the traditon in which the Lord gave it to us thru wise men whom He "raised up unto this very purpose."  Look at its platform and principles at  www.constitutionparty.com

BTW, it's being rumored that McCain is considering Tom Ridge, a pro-abortion politician, as his running mate. McCain is already so far to the left that if he wants a realistic chance of winning, he needs to pick a conservative like Ron Paul to balance out his socialist tendencies. Picking a pro-abortion running mate is campaign suicide, if you ask me.

You could be right. The media definitely is all ga-ga over Obama. The news coverage is extremely slanted. It goes something like this usually: "Obama, with regal motion and great charisma and beauty, talked to a rapt audience about his kitchen sink" and "McCain's futile attempt to run a dirty campaign backfired when he produced pictures and witnesses allegedly proving that Obama strangles puppies for fun."
