If your campaign is already tarred by allegations that you change principles about as often as underwear, would you really want to pick up this endorsement?

Former U.S. Rep. Bob Beauprez of Colorado endorsed fellow Republican Mitt Romney for president Wednesday. Beauprez, in a mass e-mail, said Romney had the right "political philosophy" as well as the experience and leadership skills necessary to be president.

Beauprez became known in Colorado as "Both-Ways Bob" because of his tendency to understand both sides of an issue so well that he would try to advance them both simultaneously. Since Mitt Romney is already tarred with the "Multiple Choice" moniker, getting an endorsement from Both Ways may not be exactly helpful.

1. Seeing both sides simultaneously is a little different than embracing one side today and the other side 5 years ago. But if not brothers, maybe they're just political cousins.

2. One of the most disturbing things about this election is the free ride Mitt Romney is getting on his Cultish religious beliefs. Obama's church is attacked. Newt Gingrich is endorsed by political quack James Dobson. Yet no one bothers to report James Spencer's scholarly work on acceptance of Mormonism as Christian in the Evangelical's endorsement of Romney.

3. Paul in new testement, tells the church,not to let the woman partisipate in the church service, as it will only add confusion.
This is not my writtings,but Pauls. If anyone want's to arque the fact,go to 1 CORINTHIANS 14:34
I Believe we should let the first lady ,be just that ,nothing more nothing less.

4. I think the first lady comment is nonsense.

Also, Dick, I find it hilarious that you think no one is challenging Romney's religion. I have read at least three articles in the NY Times dealing solely with his faith. Almost every other blog posted has a direct correlation to his religion. I defy you to find an article anywhere about Romney that does not specify him as a Mormon. I also defy you to find any article about any other candidate, with the exception of Obama, that even so much as mentions another candidates religous beliefs.

Also, I am so tired of hearing the word "cult" go unchecked. I would like for you to respond with a definition of the word "cult" if you would be so kind as to indulge me. Mormonism is a rapidly growing religion world-wide. The LDS church is constantly lauded for its humanitarian efforts, both in and out of the US. Followers of the faith have every right to obey or disobey the principles they are taught. The word "cult" conjures up for most people images of mass-suicide, chasing comets, believing in an individual as the reencarnation of Christ, and many other concepts that are in no way representative of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

5. Any candidate that doesn't look at issues from different perspective and different situation and position himself in a way that can satisfy everyone is a loser and dangerous.Do you expect to stay put in the same position like a robot without maneuvering youself in a manner that shows you are willing to help everyone instead of a few.It is to my opinion foolish politics.Changing views,ideas, position etc,is a sign of success.Not worrying about making any changes is failure.America,you don't need such type of President.
