The flip-flops on issues by Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney have been a topic of discussion for months amongst GOP and conservative opinion leaders and pundits, but on Thursday's NBC Nightly News reporter Andrea Mitchell contended a critique in the Doonesbury comic strip is really what's the “worse” development for Romney this week. As if Republican primary voters care about the left-wing cartoonist's take.
Providing a rundown of the significant events this week in the presidential campaigns, Mitchell started with “a new Republican front-runner in the money race now facing new scrutiny. So when Mitt Romney cozied-up to the gun lobby,” -- Michell played a clip of him asserting that “I've been hunting pretty much all my life” -- “his campaign had to admit he's only been on hunting trips twice.” She then declared: “Even worse, Romney was lampooned in Doonesbury all week as a flip-flopper.” As she spoke, viewers saw a blow-up of a frame of Garry Trudeau's Doonesbury with a radio talk show fretting: “Say it ain't so, Governor Romney! Changed positions on abortion, gun control, and gay rights? What's next, immigration?”
Mitchell's decision to highlight Doonesbury says more about her, and how the Washington press corps apparently check the strip every day, than conservatives who largely ignore it.
To see and read this week's strips, check Slate's Doonesbury page and click on “previous” to go back to Monday, April 2. Then proceed forward.
From the start of Mitchell's April 5 NBC Nightly News update on the campaigns of the major presidential candidates:
“It's been a week that turned the presidential campaign upside down. A new Republican front-runner in the money race now facing new scrutiny. So when Mitt Romney cozied-up to the gun lobby-”
Mitt Romney at campaign event: “And I've asked for the NRA's endorsement. [edit jump] I've been hunting pretty much all my life.”
Mitchell: “-reporters asked questions. His campaign had to admit he's only been on hunting trips twice. Even worse, Romney was lampooned in Doonesbury all week as a flip-flopper...”
Mitchell then moved on to how the fundraising numbers announced this week show that Senator Hillary Clinton has new competion from Senator Barack Obama for the title of frontrunner.

April 5, 2007 - 20:01 ET by Conservative in the ArtsI like Doonsbury. I've liked political humor for a long time as long as it's honest humor. I grew up reading the comics pages while eating breakfast everyday. (That was way back when Doonsbury was still on the comics page, many papers have moved him to the editorial pages)
So, with that note of Doonsbury being on many papers editorial pages, what's the big deal here? Will she report such shocking news that the NYT editorials are bad news for conservatives? <The shock! the Horror!>

April 5, 2007 - 23:44 ET by TrueSoldierDebra, you may do well to remember that even Ronald Reagan (one of our greatest Presidents ever) was pro-choice to begin with and had a much more liberal record than Romney to begin with. Romney's change to pro-life actually occurred about ten years ago (even though the MSM would have you believe that it was yesterday). You may also find it interesting that his church has actually come out in favor for a constitutional amendment making marriage between a man and a woman period. As for Romney's religion being a problem it is pretty sad that you would let that keep you from voting for a man that believes in God. Remember the alternative is far worse....a Democrat that believes in nothing. Personally I like Fred Thompson and I hope he gets in the race.

2.) The mainstream Mormon church is not polygamous anymore. Only the ones who refused to join the mainstream are supporters of this. THey would be the mormon equivalent to the "Born Agains".
3.) So, your God is not the same God that created the world? Interesting. I thought christians believed in a monotheistic deity. Apparently not.
Do you believe in the same God of Jimmy Swaggert, Ted Haggard, the Catholic Pedophiles, Islamic Fascists etc?

April 6, 2007 - 13:52 ET byHi BD,
1) Actually, Reagan was always pro-life. Later in life, he was very ill. He would not have been in a state of mind to change a thing.
2) I would like to hear Romney's view on his own grandfather having left the USA, due to polygamy being illegal here. You do know his own father was not born here because of this. And no, they are not the equivalent of us "Born Agains."
3)Yes, my God is the God who created the world. However, my God was never a man and he is not on a planet with wives and children; hence, Romney does not worship my God.
--And there are many false gods, but only one True God. I worship the True God. Why would anyone worship a god, who he/she did not believe to be the real one? And how can faith-beliefs that teach different gods, all have the same one? Obviously, one faith-belief is truth and all others are lies. When will we ever hear someone say that their god is not the real one?
To answer your question: Though, I have heard of Jimmy Swaggert and Ted Haggard, I do not really know anything about them. The Catholic church teachings, do not teach of my God. (Though, I believe many Catholics do worship my God.) The Islamics worship a false god, not my God.
Note: Just because someone is taught teachings of a false god, does not mean that a person will not come to worship the true God, often taking a while to come out of where the false teachings are taught. We are each individuals and God treats us as such. God would not have our fate depend on what we were taught. Anyone can come to believe on the true God, no matter what they are taught. Look at the Gregorian calendar system; though it was started by a pope, when I say, "In the year of 'our' Lord," I am referring to other believers of my God and 'our' Lord (my God).

April 6, 2007 - 17:32 ET by BDNormally I do not discuss religious issues since I prefer to limit my entries to military subjects.
1.) Actually, the Reagan issue came up when he was younger, not older.
2.) Do I have to discuss what good or bad my own grandfather did? Both of them? Are you insinuating this is genetic?
And yes, the bizarre sects in northwest Arizona DO remind me of the born agains.
3.) So, your God is not the same God as Tumblers Catholic God? After all, the holy trinity is a key tenet of Catholic theology. It says that Jesus, as a member of trinity was a man on earth. In fact, modern Protestantism sprang from this belief, ergo how would your God not be the same?
Just out of curiosity, are you a bookist? One who believes in the divinity of the bible?
I have NO idea what you are discussing refernce the Calandar.

April 6, 2007 - 21:09 ET byBD,
Well, it seems that people are very curious about my faith-beliefs and I am hoping people realize that I am responding that which they are directing directly to me.
As for what you have directed to me, here in this post of yours:
1) I only knew Reagan to be pro-life. However, it is not unheard of, that a person changes their mind. (Such is my hope, that many would change their minds and become pro-life.) The problem with Romney is that right up until he decided to run for President, he was pro-abortion. Hence, I do not believe him, that he has changed. The fact that he lies about even little things, like how long he has been a hunter, speaks volumes about him as well.
2) My statement was that I would like to know what Romney says about what his grandfather did. In other words, does he agree or disagree with what his grandfather did.
3) Tumbler has not chimed in at all on this thread, yet everyone keeps bringing his name into this. I will not comment on what has been said about him, here. I am not into that sort of thing.
But I will comment on what you said about the trinity and how I feel about it. For years, I called my beliefs of The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, the trinity --I am now more precise about my belief, in that I call God, "Triune." The Hebrew word for God, in the beginning of Scripture, is a plural word, that means at least three. The trinity implies that there are three parts to God, it implies that Jesus is not the Father, and that the Father is not the Holy Spirit (Ghost). I believe The Father, The Son, The Holy Ghost, to be one God, the true God --and not parts of God. Jesus said, if you see me, you have seen the Father.
Is 9:6: "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."
I have never heard the term, 'bookist.' I do however believe that Jesus is the Word made flesh. I believe that God puts His Word above His name. I believe that saying that what The Holy Spirit reveals about Jesus is a lie, is blaspheme against The Holy Spirit, in that such calls Him a liar and such is the unforgivable sin. I believe that God's Word, in its original state, is perfect. And I believe that God gets His Word to us, in many different language translations --however many books that claim to be God's Word, are really just poor interpretations and or commentaries, like the NIV; and many add to His Word, rendering them useless.
I hope this clears some things up.

If God wants to give us the best president that we could have in 2008, then we will get Tom Tancredo. But, if God wants to allow America to continue in her downward spiral, then we will get anyone of the front runners on either side of the coin.
May the Lord have mercy on the USA, despite the wickedness that she has allowed to happen, like abortion, the ramped homosexual movement, the teaching of evolution to children, and not being thankful enough of what He has given us to protect our borders in order to protect our people.

Best of luck to Tom, I think he needs to be more aggressive in getting his message out. I would love for all these candidates to have a live broadcast of discussing their platform, debating, answering questions in a way that gets noticed. My fear is because of how the parties organized how primaries are run we have a hard time getting the general public to get a sense of what these candidates stand for and who they are, all we get is 30 second sound bites, if that. Its funny that in this day and age where we have 24 hour news coverage how little news is covered.

I'm sure there are some like Debra, and they have that right. I think it's misplaced - but they have to be true their faith, if that's the way they see it. My Mom was a Baptist, and you couldn't convince her that being a Mormon wasn't a bad thing - there was just no changing her mind about it.
As for me, I'd vote for Mitt if it came down to it. My concerns with him have nothing to do with him being a Mormon, in fact that's a reassuring factor to me.

Look, I really don't have that much animosity toward you, but I do know a lot of hard-core Christians who stayed home last election because of that Mark Foley garbage. They were baited by the MSM and they fell for it. I have seen polling data that suggests that had a lot to do with the Democrat Party re-taking contrrol of congress.
Now I'm hearing grumbling by one of the leaders (possibly Wildmon but maybe it was one of the other ones) grumbling that Fred Thompson may not even be a Christian.
Forget the BS you are hearing about Barack Hussein Obama. The Clinton crowd will take him out at some point. Believe me, Obama has no idea what he is dealing with. If Hillary Rotten Clintax is alive and breathing, she will be the nominee for the Euro-socialists in the next presidential election.
This country may survive her Marxist insanity for four years, but there is no way in hell it will survive eight years of it.
This upcoming election will decide the near-term fate of this country. We have one chance left to take this country back. If we should fail, the armies will soon after be massing, and I don't think I have to tell you what that means.

I also believe that Mark Foley had a lot to do with what happened in the last election. However, I have a different way of going about assuring that such does not happen in this next election. And that is that we seek to put as many true Christians into offices, as are out there running --and definitely one in the Presidential office. Putting more fakes into government, bearing the "Conservative" title, will only further hurt America.
People judge Christians far more harshly than any other group. Why? Because they expect more from Christians, and they should be able to. At the very least, they should be able to get honesty from true Christians.

April 6, 2007 - 01:15 ET byJudith, no, I am not 'nutz', are you?
There is nothing 'dreadful' about my accusation, to those of us who want the truth out, so that those who wish to know the truth, will have it.
As for your two part question about his religion; first, though, I would not vote for him for that reason alone, it is clearly not my only reason for not voting for him; and second, nothing about his religion scares me --I simply do not one in the highest office in our nation, for reasons that are obvious to anyone who is of my faith-belief. (And that is my right.)
And I did not sit home last election, nor did I vote for the Democrats. I will, however, not vote for anyone who is not worthy of my vote, even if that means not voting at all for a certain office.
Let's remember, if we expect people to support someone just because that 'someone' claims to be on the 'right,' then we are no better than the left. Records <--- say it all.

April 6, 2007 - 17:26 ET byIf you believe that I am a 'nut job,' Roger, I am okay with that. I have no need for you to think I am anything different than what you believe me to be. The same goes for your 'yes-people.' I am so sure of what I say, that I can and would actually prefer to stand apart from some people. And I am not bothered by anyone not liking me. (I would never give people such control over me. We all have people who do not like us --often far more people than we think.)

BT -- an idea
April 6, 2007 - 15:49 ET by misterbillBT -- an idea--let's get Tumbler and Debra to argue about Romney. Tumbler will defend Mitt to the death because Debra belongs to a man-made religion. When he wins (you see, he does not know when he loses), he will then attack Romney for being in a man-made religion. When he wins this debate with himself, he will then tell us how everyone except Catholics are doomed to damnation. (Thus dooming himself for presuming to speak for God.) Then maybe he will head off to sunbathe in the fires of hell while we all sit back and relax. What he doesn't know, is that there is a fence between him and where he is going.....Hee hee!
Where ’s the coward that would not dare to fight for such a land?

if memory serves me correctly
April 6, 2007 - 16:05 ET by Conservative Voiceif memory serves me correctly, tumbler won't vote for mit because he is a mormon...so they agree.
conservative-
April 6, 2007 - 16:09 ET by misterbillYou are correct, but how many times have you seen the Tumbler go after Debra--my point is that they are both so intolerant of anyone else's religious belief that they will go after each other with force. And Tumbler, like the scorpion will sting himself to death.
Afternoon misterb!LOL!Great i

April 5, 2007 - 21:22 ET by jondelwicheHer comment, not the cartoon, is funny.
I run in a large crowd of like-minded elephants and there isnt a one who reads trash like Doones-buffoon. The next claim will be Huff posts are driving Republicans to or from certain candidates.
C'mon, how out of touch are these journalists?

Another comic strip as releve
April 6, 2007 - 13:32 ET by Roger the ShrubberAnother comic strip as relevent as Nancy or The Phantom...
Whew
April 5, 2007 - 21:44 ET by FactFiendTake a deep breath, Brent. It'll be all right.
First of all, Mitchell never said the Doonesbury strip would be "bad news for Romney amongst GOP voters." She just said it was worse than the revelation that Mitt, um, stretched the truth about his hunting credentials. GOP voters aren't mentioned once.
Second of all, you've made a pretty big leap here. Using Andrea Mitchell's one-time citation of a Doonesbury cartoon to claim that "the Washington press corps apparently check the strip every day" is pretty irresponsible. It may be true, and a lot of this site's devotees will probably claim "it's so obvious that they do," but, then again, it may not be true. Regardless, you presented ZERO evidence to back up this claim, aside from the fact that ONE Washington journalist cited the cartoon ONCE. Similarly, how can you say with certainty that conservatives "largely ignore" Doonesbury? I'm certainly no conservative, but I read Glenn McCoy's comics all the time. I don't agree with them, but I read them nonetheless.

April 6, 2007 - 02:52 ET by wiwfI only read comics that are funny. Doonesburry is not one of them

April 6, 2007 - 05:27 ET by sembyI can't stand Andrea; she looks like a cartoon character with her face lifts. She lies every single day to fit her political agenda. Tell me, why was she exempt from testifying in the Libby case when she said to Imus "we all knew".
She's evil and ugly and worthless too!
Andrea reports: worse.. there
April 6, 2007 - 07:48 ET by USA4freedomAndrea reports: worse.. there was a drawing on the CNN bathroom wall that showed Mitt has bad hair…
Who the hell cares what is on a comic strip. WHAT A MORON!

Wait a second. Doonesbury is
April 6, 2007 - 10:54 ET by Chris NormanWait a second. Doonesbury is still around? I thought it had been relegated to The Museum of the Nineteen Seventies. It's no wonder that someone in the MSM referenced it. The Seventies were a time when both were considered hip, relevent, and in their heyday (and both were obsessed in their hatred for all things Nixon)...
The dogs bark, but the caravan moves on.
