Romney's speech just reminds me of the problem and hypocrisy of the Republican party. They are the ones who supposedly lay claim to "small government", but they advocate government intervention in private issues that don't really affect anyone else. Democrats want to control your financial descisions, and Republicans want to control personal social decisions. And that is why I am more or less Libertarian lol.
I agree totally about Huckabee. He's not only smart but he's fun to listen to too. He is an example of why I have such huge respect for preachers. But of course at the same time, I don't necessarily think that preachers should govern if they're not going to separate their faith from values in governing people of many different faiths :|.
Except for this Islamic terrorism thing? Umm, who are they insulting? How about Muslims? I'm sorry, but the terrorism was prompted at least partially by these people's Muslim faith. I wouldn't get offended at people calling like, Westboro Baptist church "Christian terrorists" because their hatred is prompted by Christianity. It is a warped Christian faith, just like Islamic terrorists follow a warped Islamic faith. I don't think anyone who is of at least average intelligence is saying "Islamic terrorists" and referring to every Muslim everywhere (admittedly I have had to defend Muslims from some older members of my family 9_9 but they would be close-minded asses about it whether or not the government called them Islamic or not). If it were up to me I would want to oust Westboro's sect of Christianity, but unfortunately I don't know if we can unless they actually start physically harming people.
I like Palin alright as a speaker, really, and I think if anything she did a good job showing she's tough and has common sense (which unfortunately is kind of what all women in politics have to apparently prove to people). But having her go right after Guliani.. just made me want to write in vote for Guliani even more haha.
