abortion rights. We the people should ban it, yet if we listen to our Government we will end up banning In god we trust . We know what is right, or wrong why can't we make the choice because you know some how on the voting hill somebody will mess up something it always happens .

The truth is hard to dismiss. Living in Utah, I can tell you, that it is as close to being a ....... theocracy...... as it can get. Most of the government and the cities listen to the LDS church elders or their bishops for advice. They will deny, deny, deny......... but its a fact.

Who is Michael Steele? I thought the media had Rush Limbaugh as the GOP cheerleader or was I mistaken. Every time Steel opens his mouth he puts his own foot in it, and the GOP suffers for it. What happened to the “New Republicans” who are out there trying to drum up interest in the GOP. The Republicans need to silence Steele and let him fade away and get some real leadership in place and get the GOP organized. Stop listening to Rush, he’s just an entertainer, he has never come out with any original ideas on how to solve problems, all he does is point fingers at people and situations, makes jokes about them and laughs all the way to the bank mostly thanks to the Democrats and the media(CNN). If we don’t get a second party out there to keep an eye on the Democrats they will run away with our government and we will all be responsible for it. Democracy needs at least two parties so one doesn’t become too strong or have too much power which can be taken advantage of. So get rid of Steel and put a muzzle on Rush remembering he’s just a loud mouth that has no clue on how to run the government, if so he would already have been in politics not the entertainment business!

I see the Obamite foot soldiers are out blogging...a lot of nerve with the defacto creepy left that represents them...no story here.

Thats because they're like vultures eating their own. And they wonder why no one wants them in power.

What Steele said about Mormonism was true, if a little infelicitous. It's just a fact that many Catholic and evangelical Protestant voters are anti-Mormon and think of it as a cult or a false religion. I've heard that many times in my life. In the past, Mormons were even lynched and driven out of the US to what was then the far western frontier. There's a long history of hostility to Mormonism in America, and I don't see any way around that for Romney. He might as well just discuss the whole history openly and honestly.

Deny, Deny, Deny, sounds like Clinton and Edwards when caught cheating on their wives.

Did Mr. Hamby....did you get your writing orders for the week from Rahm Emmanuel, Belago, Carville and former CNN employees.....there has to be more happening in the world than CNN perpetuating the Republican distraction strategy for the Democrats. You really need to stick in the here and now....what this administration is doing and protect the American taxpayer with information. You guys are still on the campaign trail...don't worry who the American voter votes for.

Michael Steele simply told the truth on this one. The evangelical base of the GOP never accepted Romney because of his Mormon roots, especially when they could vote for Mike Huckabee. It is as simple as that, no matter what the spokespeople from anyone's camps may say.

And this is why separation of Church and State must exist .... for whose Christian ideology would we follow? Catholics? Methodists? Episcopaleans (sp?)? Baptist? Mormon? Jehovah's Witnesses? All are Christian and yet all think they are the "correct" Christians.

Who cares that Romney is Mormon? My issue with him was that he would allow his religious beliefs to have too high an impact on his decision making for the country as a whole. We've already seen where that has gotten us.

The GOP need to take religion and "Christian" values off the platform/ agenda. The last thing they need to be is the arbitor of moral/ethical values/decency.

That last quote should've been taking in to concideration when Bush was in office (even though he was no cowboy) The republican party doesnt have a valid presidential candidate and wont for a very long time. The only one with any sense in the party is Mccains daughter.

I live in Massachusetts and Romney was no great governor. It was great to see in go. It seems that he always changes his mind when it is convenient for him. All he has to show as governor was building a bypass to the Sagamore Bridge, so his rich friends would not get delayed at the rotary trying to get over the canal to Cape Cod.

I personally hope that the GOP just destroys themselves. I have never seen so much backstabbing! Like children. Tell a lie over and over again someone will believe it.

Seems to have been GOP's mantra since George W. and his ilk were in office.

Grow up!
