Judging from the people signaling their interest in becoming the republican candidate for president it appears that they have become a party of flacks, hacks and quacks. That's what happens whenever the bar is lowered so low ,as it was for bush, that just about anybody qualifies for president. Now they are going to have a hard time ever getting it raised back up. In a sense they have opened the floodgates. McCain's choosing Palin didn't help. The bar got lowered a few more notches in fact. Is there anyone who doesn't qualify to be a Republican candidate today? If you can memorize a few stock conservative phrases and say them over and over then you pretty much qualify.

Romney has plenty of deficiencies in issues he's championed that people don't need to play the religion card. Romney has Romneycare to live down, Romney's promotion of off-shore tax havens, of outsourcing industries, and all the ruined local economies here in America he's responsible for. Romney's been great for China's economy or Caiman Islands, but This guy has spent his career selling America short. These are the things that should come back to bite Romney. Not his Religion!

What comes around goes around. Romney is not insulated from the marathon of hate Republicans have been promoting. Religion and race has been the bread and butter issues that conservatives, tea partyiers and extreme righties are most concerned about. So no surprise the same sentiment that attacks the president on the phony birther issues are going to attack Romney's religion as a phony Christianity.

Its a shame and its UnAmerican to attack a candidates religion, but neither of the concepts the Republican party seems to adhere to lately. Of course you can dismiss all this kind of hate like Kyl dismisses truth - #NotIntendedToBeAFactualStatement.

You were starting to somewhat intelligent before your antimormon dogma rant. He is more honest than the bulk of Congress and the healthcare industry that is bankrupting us.

So, What Is A 'President­ial Explorator­y Committee,­' Exactly? - For Newt and most of them its a way to fleece supporters of money, they all noticed how Newt has had this job of pretending to run for years making big bucks.

To much of a pretty boy just as Palin, too much a pretty girl only she has no real experience. I see no good GOP candidates.

There is no way that RINO Willard "Mittens" Romney will ever be elected President of the USA! So just forget that nonsense! If "Mittens" Romney is the

standard for the Republican Pary in 2012 then it is indeed in deep trouble and

may as well just hand Barack Hussein Obama a Free Second Term! As.we donot

need corporate raider and American Workers outsourcer,Romneycare loser and

arrogant phony baloney Mitt Romney to finish the destruction of the USA that

the Kenyan Obama started. And there is no way this Mormon Cult Member Romney can win the conservative and independent voters like myself. Forget

Willard "Mittens" Romney as Romney is totally unelectable,period.

Romney is the polar oposite of the current administration. Competent, smart, experienced and a prove leader, especially on economic issues. While I think there will be a number of solid candidates running for 2012 he is sets the standard.
