p> Romney says he looks for a "new alternative that everybody agrees is the right way to go." Well, just when was it that everybody agrees is the right way to go? There has never been such a time, or will be such a time. If nothing else, the Democrats will oppose what a Republican proposes if for no other reason than a Republican proposed it. This country needs a leader, not an assembler of opinions looking for pseudo-consensus, someone with faith in individual responsibility, in smaller government, in defending freedom. br> -- Carl Davis br> Atlanta, Georgia /p>

Romney is no conservative. He has no principles. He wants to please everyone. He responded to a question about an attack on us by saying he would first consult the lawyers!!

Fred Barnes likes Romney because he knows Romney will push for amnesty for illegal aliens.

p>Yes, Romney is a decent and talented man. But he is not fit to be president. br> -- Gwen Itskowitz /p> p> Trying to place Romney in the Lincoln and Reagan White Houses requires stretches so long as to be meaningless. Why not view Mitt meeting challenges in the real world. Try reading Eli Saslow's "A Mission Accepted" article in Monday's Washington Post , which describes the 21 year old Romney skillfully dealing with his own personal injuries and a valued leader's death in difficult, challenging circumstances. Or study Romney's present take on the war in Iraq. It is the very opposite of a General McClellan approach. Clearly, Jeffrey Lord's take on Romney are two stretches too far. br> --
