He is working 12-18 hrs a day raising money and meeting people, getting briefed.
In Orlando yesterday,
*********************************************
he spent about an hour with 7 of us old guard Reagan supporter types after two big morning fundraisers. Afternoon and evening were the same.
*********************************************
Many of us were not too far off. You are working his campaign and trying to change the minds of conservatives who don’t like him. Romney is part of the establishment egop. He will NOT be prolife or against gay marriage. He does not care at all about conservatives. He is all words and no action. He’s lied repeatedly, and you want us to trust him. If he won’t sign the prolife pledge NOW, what will make him keep his word when he is in power? We won’t be able to hold his feet to the fire, because he does not care about us at all. If you actually work the campaign, there are things he needs to hear.
1. We know he was the one who went after Sarah and HER FAMILY four years ago. romney tries to come off as the “nice mormon guy”. A lot of us here have had an education in the last year on how nice mormons really are. We were told they are Christians and have to be called that, even though we have different Gods. We were questioned why would we believe Paul over John Smith. Jesus over John Smith.....That they have more insight than Christians and we are just plain wrong. Back to Sarah; we don’t forget the tactics used by “politicians”. It tells us what kind of person they are.
2. Romney is not pro life or a conservative. He says one thing and does another. Besides the fact that romney has NOTHING to offer social conservatives, we have yet to see him to reach out of us. He refused to attend a single prolife or profamily event. He says he does not need to reach out to us, we will vote for him. Besides being arrogant, he is ignorant of the fact that real conservatives stand up against evil, no matter their party affiliation. I do not see much difference between obama and romney socially. I don’t care what he “says”; it’s what he “does” that is important.
Romney is refusing to sign a pledge penned by the pro-life group ‘The Susan B. Anthony List.’ The pledge calls for the nomination of judges “who are committed to restraint and applying the original meaning of the Constitution, not legislating from the bench.” It also demands the selection of pro-life appointees for cabinet positions and the advancement of “pro-life legislation to permanently end all taxpayer funding of abortion,” as well as the defunding of Planned Parenthood.
Phony Pro-Life “Conversion
Mitt Romney established abortion as a “healthcare benefit” in his own government-run healthcare plan at $50 per abortion — after his supposed “pro-life conversion.” (http://www.mahealthconnector.org/portal/binary/com.epicentric.contentmanagement.servlet.ContentDeliveryServlet/About%2520Us/Connector%2520Programs/Additional%2520Resources/cc_benefits1220_pt234.pdf ) He created a permanent, official government role for an unelected Planned Parenthood representative on the health care board.
Romney’s well-timed “pro-life” conversion for the Republican primary pulled a “states’ rights” commitment out of nowhere to hedge his political bets. His claim that states’ rights trump the unalienable right to life is inconsistent and unprincipled: he simultaneously opposes an amendment to protect human life, but claims to support one to preserve marriage! What happened to Romney’s committment to “states’ rights?”
Unforced by anyone, Romney overruled his own Commissioner of Public Health and lied about state law in order to compel Catholic hospitals to issue abortifacient pills — in violation of their freedom of religion enshrined in the United States and Massachusetts Constitutions. Using exactly the crafty political theater he employed to cover his actions on same-sex “marriage” and homosexual adoption, Romney posed as defender of the very thing he was destroying, gallantly “asking” the legislature to create a special “religious exemption” for Catholic institutions. Even Democrat former governor Mike Dukakis publicly agreed with Romney’s commissioner of public health that state law already grants a “religious exemption.
There is a lot more I can give you as proof of his supposed pro-life stand, but it would have to be printed as books.
3. Romney is for gay marriage and gay adoption and forced schools to indoctrinate children in the gay “lifestyle” over parents objections.
As governor, to please Massachusetts’ militant homosexual groups, Romney aggressively BOOSTED government funding for pro-homosexuality indoctrination, starting in kindergarten. He refused to defend schoolchildren and parents’ rights against this indoctrination. He refused to order his education officials to obey the law guaranteeing that parents’ can protect their children from sexual brainwashing. This is a continuation of his views since 1994 when he opposed congressional efforts to protect children by banning federal funding to public schools that encourage “homosexuality as a positive lifestyle alternative.” His deference to militant homosexual groups’ “right” to indoctrinate other people’s children was jaw-dropping.
As Governor, Mr. Romney has claimed that he had no choice but to obey the Supreme Judicial Court’s opinion. This claim is false for several reasons.
First, Mr. Romney was not a party to the case. Only parties to a case are bound to obey a court order. As President Abraham Lincoln said in support of his refusal to enforce the United States Supreme Court’s infamous Dred Scott case – the nation’s policy regarding slavery was not determined by a court opinion, even by the highest court of the land. Likewise, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts’ policy regarding marriage may not be determined by the Supreme Judicial Court, the State’s highest court.
Second, the Supreme Judicial Court did not order any party to do anything. Rather, it issued only a declaration that, in its opinion, excluding otherwise qualified same-sex couples access to civil marriage was unconstitutional. Thus, even the Massachusetts Department of Health, which was a party to the case, was not ordered to do anything.
Third, the Massachusetts Board of Health was not authorized by statute to issue marriage licenses. That was a job for Justices of the Peace and town clerks. The only task assigned by the Legislature to the Board of Health was to record the marriage license; it had no power to issue them even to heterosexual couples. So the Department of Health, the only defendant in the case, could not legally have complied with an order to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
Fourth, if the court were to order the Department of Health to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, then Mr. Romney’s duty as governor would have been to instruct the Department that it had no authority to do what the court ordered. Nor could the court confer such authority, such an authorization being in nature a legislative, not a judicial, act.
Fifth, the decision whether to implement the Supreme Judicial Court’s opinion was, as the court itself acknowledged, for “the Legislature to take such action as it may deem appropriate in light of [the court’s] opinion.” By the very terms of the order, the Massachusetts legislature had discretion to do nothing.
Sixth, because the legislature did nothing, Mr. Romney had no power to act to implement the court decision. By ordering justices of the peace, town clerks, and other officials authorized to issue marriage licenses to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, Mr. Romney unconstitutionally usurped legislative power, a power denied him by the Massachusetts constitution that separated the three kinds of powers into three different departments.

As Governor, Romney could not overrule the Supreme Ct.
I’m guessing they didn’t teach about co-equal branches, or separation of powers, or enumerated powers, or checks and balances, in Romney Republican training classes, eh?
Perhaps the professors were the same Republican lawyers who were advising Romney when he was governor?
But, in any case, Romney did not have to “overrule the Supreme Ct.”
All he had to do to check this lawless liberal court was to DO NOTHING, just like the legislature had already done.
And there isn’t a thing in the world the court could have done about it.
Checkmate.
But no. Romney abused his power, violated his state’s constitution, and made up a lawless “law” of his own. One that is in gross violation of the natural law. And one that has helped push the homosexual agenda forward across the land.
And now he, and his henchmen, lie, and lie, and lie, about it.
4. In the primary, romney did NOT win fair and square. Many people won’t vote for a social liberal. Add to that a cheater (with the help of the gop and his friends in various states). He cheated us out of our vote. The ends justify the means is a communist/marxist tactic. Win at all cost. romney’s tactics were not to beat Obama, but to take our his REPUBLICAN opponents at all and any cost.
Iowa still has 8 different precincts who “lost” all their paperwork. Members of Romney’s church have been working the precincts.

The GOP gave romney Iowa after a caucus worker went to the media and told them romney only had 2 votes in that county not 22. It took over two weeks to correct-time enough for romney to get NH.
http://caucuses.desmoinesregister.com/2012/01/06/appanoose-county-gop-chairman-im-confident-the-results-are-accurate
He had his friends kick some his opponents off the ballots in some states.
In the last year romney and some of his supporters helped romney by changing many states rules: Some conservative states were changed to split delegates and some liberal states were changed to winner take all. This heavily favored romney and hurts conservatives.
Romney, Virginia GOP commits election fraud: FOX News
The Examiner
Michael Phelps
With only minutes before the first Super-Tuesday Caucuses were set to close, FOX News and the University of Virginia Center for Politics reported a likely election fraud situation, committed by Mitt Romney and the Virginia GOP.
The establishment elite may be up to their usual 2012, nomination process shenanigans again as more people in positions of knowing have come forward to proclaim their displeasure with the establishment’s handling of challenges to their favorite candidate.
Multiple states across the country reported precincts tampered with, votes permanently lost, elections oddly postponed, permanently unverifiable results, and now simply not even allowing candidates to even be on the ballot to begin with.
Reporting from Virginia, FOX News’s Shannon Breen gave voice to political analyst, Virginia Tech’s Larry Sabato, who says it is very likely Mitt Romney and the Virginia GOP establishment, and their minions purposely kept signatures from being counted so, at least, Newt Gingrich wouldn’t be on Virginia’s ballot on Super-Tuesday.

If the allegations are investigated and found to be accurate, it would represent an addition to the growing list of reports showing the establishment elite to be manipulating the nomination process country wide, in favor on Mitt Romney.
Further stealing caucuses from other candidates, mainly Ron Paul, to likely insure the continuance of a 1%’r agenda that, according to Wall Street and the lion’s share of its campaign donation money, Mitt Romney is most likely to support should he be the nominee and beat Obama in November.

5. Romney is buying the election. Romney bought endorsements and had his friends buy attack ads so harsh and untrue, other candidates did not have a chance.
6. Romney was working with the gop establishment and various people in the media, to take out all the opposition. Just like obama has his hit people in the media hurting republicans, romney had his hit people hurting his opponents. Unfair and corrupt politicking. It’s pretty low when you use the lefts tactics on the people on your side. This tells me he is not a fair team playing and do what HE wants. It’s about control and power for romney.
7. Raised taxes/fees over 300% while being Governor of MA
8. Implemented a state-level Cap and Trade system.
9. Supported Man-Made Global Warming
10. Supported the Brady Bill
11. Implemented a state level “Assault” Weapons Ban after the Federal AWB was allowed to expire.
12. Supported TARP
13. Supported Amnesty for Illegal Aliens (Citizenship for those already here)
14. Supported McCain-Kennedy (Amnesty)
Mormonism is such a classy cult. /sarc
Let's not start that myth yet. Harvard's joint JD/MBA program isn't exactly attending law school and business school at the same time.
It's a four-year program and the total credit hours aren't the same as if you had first taken one program and then the other.
Written with memories of living overlooking Baker Beach . . .
You remind of spoiled little brat. Why don’t you just sit home on election night and feel sorry for yourself.
If Obama wins, we’ll blame dipsh*ts like you.
You dont even realize that if romney wins your F’ed...
Romney is a socialist and at the very least a statist. If he and the progressives get control of the fedgov WE are screwed because there will be NO ONE to stop them. NO ONE... NADDA.... NOT A SOUL...

Dipsh*t
Il do more than not vote for romney on election night... Ill actively oppose the SOB.
