Orin Hatch?
I would say you need to find some new friends who are more informed. Seriously! One of the smartest people up there? You mean one the the most corrupt people up there right? Newt is Former House Speaker for Bush for crying out loud. That should say enough. While Cheating on his wife and family and who knows how many affairs, he led the charge against President Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky affair while he was in the back room having his own.. Newt opened the door for Bill Clinton to claim the same alibi. Gingrich’s says the reasons for his affairs was a result of his passion and feelings for his country. =)) He is a member of the Bohemian Club and other secret societies, Member of the CFR, and apart of many other evil institutions. There is nothing to respect about the man. He has been bought off for years. I bet you his dirty laundry is longer than santa clause list. Newt is far from one of the smartest guys.SpeedRacerLFF wrote: A week ago I was not leaning toward any of them. I though Newt might pan out. I had a lot of respect for him and his contract with America. I have some friends on the hill who say he is one of the smartest people up there.
He is not smart at all. He has the same size brain as a fish. Very tiny. He will go down as one of if not the worse house speakers in the history of our country. Me made SOOOOO many mistakes its unreal and too long to list. But for some weird reason these things keep getting thrown by the way side and all these same old life long politicians who are most responsible for the mess were in just keep coming back. We never learn. Anyway, I do think you will like Pawlenty. Out of off the Republican candidates Pawlenty is the one i have an open mind for. I don't have much hope though.I would be interested in what you find out about him when you do research him. Feel free to share.SpeedRacerLFF wrote:My friends on the hill are quite informed. They did not say he was upstanding, just very smart. He has proven that over and over. Corruption does not remove intelligence. He is currently taking calculated risks to stir up some media buzz. He made an error, and is out. Now Pawlenty is in. I have to go research him.

All the while, South Carolina is hurting. Like many states suffering from the failed policies of the Obama administration, the Palmetto State has seen 3,800 more jobs in April disappear than in the previous month; and they are currently experiencing 9.8% unemployment.
After campaigning so famously on "hope" and "change," the President and his team have now resorted to governing on fear and misdirection. Already, former Obama aides and union leaders have been commissioned to lead outside political attack groups -- which aren't limited in the amount of high-dollar donations they can receive -- and President Obama himself plans to raise an additional $1 billion.
As part of their effort this weekend, they'll be welcoming Governor Romney's visit to South Carolina with a misleading, negative attack ad -- their first ad of the campaign. There is no doubting it -- the vast amount of money that President Obama has raised over the last few years is being put towards silencing his opposition. Don't be silenced.
Make no mistake. Governor Romney plans to confront these attacks head-on. He will not allow these tactics to slow him down. Governor Romney's message of restoring a prosperous economy and bringing jobs back to the American people is too crucial to be suppressed by political maneuvering.
I hope you'll join me and stand with Mitt today. Help him show these outside political attack groups that they're out of tune with America's core beliefs
Thank you for your support.
Gail Gitcho
Communications Director
P.S. These attacks will continue. Share this with your friends and family and help Governor Romney expose President Obama's real agenda.

May 25th, 2011

Demonstrating his regard for hard-working Iowans, Gov Romney isheading to The Hawkeye State this Friday:
Just days after naming former 2008 campaign staffer Sara Craig as his State Director for Iowa, Romney will head to the Hawkeye State himself, starting his day Friday meeting with employees at AgVision Agriculture Software, a company that specializes in providing computer software to grain elevators, seed processors, fertilizer retailers and feed stores, to name a few.
Romney will then be the kick-off speaker for the Greater Des Moines Partnership’s Presidential Forum Speaker Series. The series, sponsored by the Greater Des Moines Partnership, Mediacom and IowaPolitics.com, will extend invitations to all prospective presidential candidates before the 2012 Presidential Caucuses.
Later Friday, Romney will head to Cedar Rapids to attend a picnic at the Hughes Farm, hosted by the Johnson and Linn County GOP.
Mitt Romney returns to Jacksonville to raise dough with Who’s who of Republican elites. Northeast Florida, a high turnout GOP stronghold, was very much Romney country in 2008. He crushed John McCain in that region.
Hedge fund manager Anthony Scaramucci is deserting an old classmate to beat the fundraising bushes for his rival.
The founder of $7.2 billion Skybridge Capital is holding a Presidential campaign fundraising dinner for Republican Mitt Romney, thereby turning his back on his Harvard Law School classmate and White House incumbent Barack Obama.
The $2,500 per plate event is slated for June at the Mandarin Hotel in New York, according to a report in MarketWatch.
But a source told HedgeFund.net that Scaramucci had already held more private fundraising events for his candidate mostly aimed at hedge fund managers and other investment advisors.
Romney, who co-founded private equity firm Bain Capital before he served as Massachusetts governor, is the type of pro-business Republican that many in the asset class would like to see as their next President.
Though Romney isn’t a presidential candidate yet and hasn’t begun official campaigning, and in spite of FreedomWorks, he comes out on top in four polls this week:
★ Mitt Romney wins Harris poll (5/25/11)
Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney has won another poll.
Mr. Romney, a potential Republican presidential candidate, received 14 percent support in the latest Harris poll.
Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, who said he would not seek the Republican presidential nomination before the vote was taken, was second among likely GOP voters in the poll released Monday at 12 percent. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich had 10 percent.
The remaining field of potential candidates received less than 8 percent and “undecided” led the field with 23 percent.
The poll is the third in less than twenty-four hours to show Mr. Romney as the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination. The former Massachusetts governor took first in a CNN poll released Monday and an Ohio poll released later that day also showed Mr. Romney leading the pack of Republicans.
★ Insider Advantage (5/24/11)
Insider Advantage conducted a survey for Channel 2 Action News of 770 likely Republican and Independent voters in which Georgia’s Herman Cain is statistically tied for second place with Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann.
According to the poll, Mitt Romney received 16.2% of the vote, Michelle Bachmann 11.8 %, Sarah Palin 11%, Herman Cain 10.9%, Tim Pawlenty 7.4%, Newt Gingrich 6.4%, Ron Paul 5%, Other 5.3%, Undecided 25.5%.
★ CNN/WMUR by New Hampshire Survey Center (5/23/11)
Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney led the poll, garnering 32 percent of GOP primary voters in New Hampshire, the state where the nation’s first presidential primary is to be held. For the rest of the GOP players, they are clumped at the bottom of the lineup, with their batting averages amongst voters in the single digits.
★ Dick Morris GMRS Survey (5/25/11)
A survey completed on May 23rd shows Mitt Romney seizing a decisive national lead in the Republican Presidential Primary. Romney, who was getting only 22% of the vote before Trump and Huckabee pulled out, now swells to 30% of the primary vote (if Sarah Palin does not run).
With Palin out of the race, the Morris Poll found the following results:
Romney = 30%
Gingrich = 15%
Bachmann = 7%
Cain = 7%
Pawlenty = 5%
Santorum = 3%
Huntsman = 1%
With Palin in the contest, Romney still leads with 25% of the vote, followed by Palin at 16% and Gingrich at 11%. No other candidate gets more than 6%.
Romney’s $10.25 million fundraiser last week in just eight hours was a great start.
With sleeves rolled up and eyes clearly focused on rebuilding our nation, Romney’s hands are firmly wrapped around the wheel of a Mack big rig truck loaded with a lifetime of business experience, intelligence, organization, common sense leadership, values, work ethic, and wisdom.

Janadele wrote: I have watched the said video posted on this forum.
It is unbecoming and unfortunate of Mitts enemies to keep seizing upon and misinterpreting this second of his life.
One must remember that in a live interview when a point is not allowed continuance, expansion or clarification, one's answer can be incorrectly interpreted and misunderstood. There can be no mistaking that Mitt has at all times clearly stated his LDS allegiance, and that he identifies to the world as a devout and faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints...and all that entails.
