Standing on Israeli soil, U.S. presidential candidate Mitt Romney declared Jerusalem to be the capital of the Jewish state and said the United States has “a solemn duty and a moral imperative” to block Iran from achieving nuclear weapons capability.
“Make no mistake, the ayatollahs in Iran are testing our moral defenses. They want to know who will object and who will look the other way,” he said. “We will not look away nor will our country ever look away from our passion and commitment to Israel.”

The Old City formed a made-for-television backdrop behind Romney, while some of his campaign donors listened in the audience.
Here are clips from the speech on Iran:
Romney‘s declaration that Jerusalem is Israel’s capital follows an awkward exchange last week where White House Press Secretary Jay Carney refused to say where exactly the White House believes the capital of Israel to be.
And Romney’s remarks drew a standing ovation from his audience, according to the Associated Press.
But the presidential candidate’s embrace of Israel was on display all day, as he met with Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu and other leaders. The Israeli press, normally somewhat left-leaning, was more curious about Romney and his relationship with Netanyahu than critical, according to reports.
The Washington correspondent for the Israeli site Haaretz explained: “I don’t think they know [Romney] that deep — but they are suspicious enough of President Obama to express some hopes for Romney as possible leader of the free world.”

Today’s Haaretz headline reads: “In Jerusalem speech it was Romney‘s voice but Netanyahu’s words: Netanyahu embraces Romney as no prime minister has ever embraced a candidate running against an incumbent U.S. president.”
Politico sums it up: “Given Obama’s frosty relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Romney’s relationship with ‘Bibi’ — which dates back to their time as colleagues at Boston Consulting Group in the 1970s — formed a cornerstone of Israeli press coverage over the weekend.”
Romney also visited the Western Wall, Judaism’s holiest site, and held a meeting with Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad.
Romney steered clear of overt criticism of the president during his remarks, but made it clear that he doesn‘t buy Obama’s narrative.
“It is sometimes said that those who are the most committed to stopping the Iranian regime from security nuclear weapons are reckless and provocative and inviting war…The opposite is true. We are the true peacemakers,” Romney said.

Israel is the second of three stops on an international trip for Romney in the weeks before he claims the Republican nomination at his party’s national convention in Tampa, Fla.
Robert Gibbs said on ABC’s “This Week” that the administration has delayed Iran’s nuclear program through its various diplomatic initiatives, but Netanyahu countered before Romney’s speech that “all the sanctions and diplomacy so far have not set back the Iranian program by one iota.”
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

It’s not that odd that the President is up in the polls. You are correct that somewhere between 30% and 48% of the country thinks about things differently from you conservatives.
The other factor killing you guys is that you keep trotting out the same lame candidates year after year after year. They have different names, but they support the same Bravo-Sierra as the D’s.
If you are a committed R, and you want your Party to have a chance resonating with the largest voting block, that is the Independents/Constitutionalists/Libertarians, then you need to work your fanny off to compel your Party to nominate candidates who offer a Liberty platform. Not candidates who just put a different letter after their name, but are carbon copies of what the D’s have to offer.
The word you’re looking for does begin with a W. But the word isn’t Whine; it’s Work. Peace.

No more need to waste time with the truly ignorant and foolish minded.
But if anyone wants to know the real link between Joseph Smith and the free masons there are many books …… some in his own words on why he needed to understand their ceremony( free masons) and beliefs. Just do your homework and avoid books with an agenda instead of truth which has none.
But at the end of the day it is all irrelevant. Mitt Romney will require the faith and prayers of all faiths and denominations and he will welcome it.

Posted on July 30, 2012 at 9:32am@KRYPTONITE Wow Krpt..you don’t get into the Bible very much do you? We go from Muslim to Mormon..not much difference in their religions except that the Muslims have a lot more respect for God..Ron Paul is a Southern Baptist Krypt…he is a true man of God..not someone who thinks that they will become a god.. and not someone who believes blasphemies against God..Ron Paul has a 10 yr record of fighting for our Constitutional rights..he just got the “audit the Fed” bill passed by Congressional majority..and he repealed NDAA as unconstitutional and a Federal judge just ruled it so..He also has a plan to get us out of debt..and downsize government..Mitt Romney is nothing but a liberal in conservative shoes.. In my humble ooinion and in mine and other’s opinion he is also a criminal crime syndicate thug , along with the RNC for what they did to Paul delegates..You want the thrill running down your leg?..you can go watch it over Beck and the National Anthem..you will see all the sickening gushing going on there.. You see none of that from the Paul camp..You guys have the mentality of group think..which is just being led like good little lambs to the slaughter..

What you are too ignorant to understand is that “CEO” stands for “Chief Executive Officer” (he is also a former Governor (another EXECUTIVE position)). These these two facts make him IMMINENTLY qualified to be the Chief Executive of the Executive Branch of the United States Government, aka “The President”.

Posted on July 30, 2012 at 1:23amMil Mom,
Isn’t that what King Hussein did. Give all his buddies stimulus money loans and they took the money and filed for bankruptcy and created no jobs?
At least when a capitalist is in the WH we can expect drilling, pipe lines, possible energy independence and an unemployment rate at 5% or lower.
All of which will generate more tax dollars and keep our money at home, instead of us sending our hard earned dollars to the Muslims who only wish to kill us.
Romney will win the Presidency by 10 points, the conservatives lead by TEA party candidates will gain control of the senate and keep Romney under wraps.
If you think the TEA party was hard on King Hussein and his antics, let Romney lose his mind and keep moving the progressive agenda forward. He will see us at the gates of the White House in protest. We don‘t do that for King Hussein for he may see reason to call for martial law and that’s the last thing we want.
