Don't underestimate the Mormon, the national polls don't always do the canidate justice: "Mitt Romney "has rocketed to the top of the field of contenders for the New Hampshire Republican presidential primary crown, running dead even with Arizona Sen. John McCain at 25% each," a new Zogby telephone poll shows. Rudy Giuliani finds himself in third place in the Granite State at 19% support" "In North Carolina, a new Public Policy Polling survey shows Sen. John Edwards leading in his home state's Democratic presidential race with 39% support, followed by Sen. Hillary Clinton at 25% and Sen. Barack Obama at 20%. On the Republican side, Rudy Giuliani leads with 30%, trailed by Sen. John McCain at 19% and Mitt Romney at 14%. " "A new University of Iowa poll finds John Edwards leading the other Democratic candidates in the first caucus state. Edwards was ahead with 34%, followed by Clinton with 28% and Obama with 19%. No other Democrat reached 2%. On the Republican side, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) edged out Rudy Giuliani, 21% to 20%. Mitt Romney trailed with 17%." -politicalinsider.com He's gaining ground, slowly but surely.

http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/data/constitution/amendment02/ Weak response. People who want to do things like this will obtain guns irrespective of legality. Speaking of statistics, how many murders are committed with legally obtained weapons as opposed to the guns in D-Loc's trunk? Furthermore, do you really want to disarm the law abiding part of the populace in a country already full of guns? Something like 98% of guns on the black market started off by being sold legally. Any American that says gun control needs to look at just about any other country that has gun control and their much lower rate of homicides.

I've actually gone quite a few times, it's just like any other religion. If anything, Catholicism is stranger. Far stranger.

I'd rather have someone who tries to represent the views of his voters rather than stubbornly refusing to change any of his ideas. I don't think their size, albeit impressive, makes it any less weird. Are you a member of the church? I know a lot of Mormons. Why do you find the church weird?

I really, really dislike Clinton. I like Edwards and Obama but I don't think they have a record to run on. Plus Romney is really quite moderate running to the right to get the nomination, he'll run back to the center for the general eleaction. I'll take Gore or Richardson over Romney but I don't see Gore running or Richardson getting the nomination.

I'm dropping out. As last season's 2nd place finisher I know everyone must be very upset but truth be told I just don't watch the WWE at all anymore.

Mitt Romney is the former governor of Massachusetts. He graduated valedictorian of BYU and holds degrees in law and business from Harvard. He’s a self-made man who made millions as a CEO and earned a reputation for turning around failing businesses. In 1999, the Salt Lake City Olympics were $379 million short of its revenue benchmarks and was in a whirlwind of scandal. Romney was brought in and he turned around the games and in the wake of 9/11 planned the security for the games. Much to the surprise of many the games ended up clearing a profit of $100 million. Romney donated his whole salary to charity after the games ended. As Governor of Massachuets he created a new health-care policy that required a great deal of bipartisanship and covered nearly all of Massachuests’ uninsured. He hopes to bring the plan to a national stage. He esablished education reform which rewarded the top 25% of high school students with tution-free education at public universities in Massachuets. He is among the few canidates that realize that competing with Asia is a must and we must start today. From his website on some other issues: Without raising taxes or increasing debt, Governor Romney closed a $3 billion budget deficit his first year in office with a heavily Democrat legislature. Each year, Governor Romney filed a balanced budget without raising taxes. By eliminating waste, streamlining government, and enacting comprehensive economic reforms to help spur growth, Governor Romney helped the state achieve a surplus totaling nearly $1 billion in 2005. In the bluest of blue states, Governor Romney kept taxes down. Under his leadership, the state abolished a retroactive capital gains tax that would have forced nearly 50,000 taxpayers to pay additional taxes and fees. When Governor Romney took office, Massachusetts was losing thousands of jobs every month. Today, the unemployment rate is averaging more than a full percentage point lower, and the state has added approximately 60,000 jobs in the last two years. In short Romney is the Republican’s best shot. As a moderate Dem, since Bayh is out, Romney probably gained my vote. Why does Mormonism creep you out? It's not like it can be called a cult as it is the forth largest religion in the country with 6 million members and 13 million members worldwide. The beliefs though different don't advocate anything crazy or strange, (polygamy was stopped in 1890 by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and was originally intended to take care of widows and is not unlike what Abraham did) and the belief is that in the highest part of the Celestial Kingdom you can become "god like" ( <--that's the phrashing used) at the very least gives everything a sense of purpose.

I started it in November, but I want to get down to my old wrestling weight of 165 and get my ass back into shape. I'm down from 200 to about 180 so that's a nice little ego boost, just got to keep at it.

First a little bit of background: I usually go to this movie theatre once a week, sometimes twice a week. Everytime I have been there I have got the student discount. They have never, in three years, asked to see a student ID. So tonight I go in to get tickets and they ask for a student ID. Not a big deal, expect I never recieved my student ID for this year. Instead, I produce my official class schedule and my school parking permit. Both of which say '06-'07 on them as well as my full name. The cashier brings over her hick ass white trash manager (who had the most screwed up, filthy set of teeth of I've seen) to see if it's acceptable for the discount. Me: I never got my ID for the year, but this stuff is all from the school. Hick: How do I know it's you, there's no photos. Me: My name's on there, it matches the name on my driver's license. (Shows her license) Hick: This still doesn't prove that it's you. Me: (slightly pissed off tone of voice) My name's on there, it matches the name on my driver's license. Hick: There's no need to get hostile. Me: How am I being hostile? Hick: I can't give you the discount without a student ID. Me: Look, I come in here every week, am quite obviously a student, is it worth losing a customer over? Hick: I'm not giving you the discount. Me: (slightly pissed off tone of voice, but not yelling or speaking in a threatning tone) This is pretty much bullshit. Just give me the ticket, I'll pay full price, I don't really give a shit anymore. Hick: I'm not selling a ticket to a customer who curses at me. Me: You have got to me kidding me. Hick: Please take your things and leave. Me: (now I'm pissed) Let me talk to your superior, hopefully someone here has an IQ above 50. Hick: I'm calling the cop on duty over. (radios for cop) Me: For christ's sake. At this point the cop comes over and walks me to the exit, the cop actually makes the "trash out of the trailer, but..." joke about the hick and then wishes me Merry Christmas. It was strange. At this point I drive five minutes to the other theatre, who gives me my discount.

"Why would you have your class schedule with you at the movies? You're filled with lies, good sir. " I keep it in my wallet because it has my long-ass unchangeable student ID and server password on it.

that's a $1.50 I could save for poster frames.

It was a manager. It doesn't matter, doesn't change the fact you were completely stupid to be so bothered by something like that. I really wasn't all that bothered, I said I;d pay full price, she refused to sell me tickets because I said "Bullshit."
