Romney cleverly tells his fellow Republicans to "put our own house in order," including an admonition that "we can't have ethical standards that are a punch line for Jay Leno.
Romney’s tough love
I don't find the ad particularly controversial; certainly its sentiments will resonate with most Republican primary voters. But will it make a difference in Romney's position in the Presidential race?
But Romney and his campaign clearly recognize the political necessity to move away from a party brand that, thanks to the incumbent president and congressional scandal, is at a historically low ebb.
Romney says he'd clean up D.C. -- but who?
Romney's senior advisers met recently in Boston to present him with a blueprint for the next four months centered on what some call a kindling strategy — the belief that early victories in places like Iowa, Michigan and New Hampshire will make him impossible to stop by Feb. 5, when a crush of other states vote at once

DC Insider Thompson defends his lobbying
MUST READ:
Fred Thompson is clearly in over his head! In both his fumbling pre-candidacy period and his hesitant, attenuated post-announcement campaign, he’s given the clear impression that that he is ill-informed, inarticulate, badly briefed and downright lazy.
Thompson is counting on his conservative positions on social issues and the wunder-dust generated by his “Law & Order” stardom to propel him into the lead in the presidential race. But, as Harriet Miers’s failed candidacy for the Supreme Court suggests, one does not just need to be conservative to prevail. It takes a little talent, too. Thompson seems to lack the interest, energy, will, ability and stamina to compete at this level.

Bishops receive no salary or financial reward of any kind. Neither are they isolated members of the clergy. There is no special clerical order within the Church for them to belong to. Latter-day Saint bishops live in the community and work at their regular jobs just like everyone else. Because they administer the demands of their bishop's office mostly on weekends and during evenings, they can do so only by calling on other congregational members in large numbers to help them

"We also need to do more protect our children by cleaning up the culture that surrounds them."
PolitiFact took issue with Mitt Romney for saying, in a comment about President Clinton, that "our spending on national defense dropped from over 6% of GDP to 3.8% today." He took the 6% figure from the Reagan years, more than six years before Mr. Clinton took office. Romney spokesman Kevin Madden says it was a deliberate choice to "clarify just how dramatic the cuts were." He says his candidate's claims were "accurate and supported by the facts."
