Nice to see him taking a public stand. I wish he had done it in earlier years, but, rather late than never.
I would want a president who is a man of faith to honor this man when we have to lay this man to rest.
Ditto.
Graham is very very well connected, with lots of people, very powerful people. Harvey MacKay wrote about him in an extemely impressive fashion.
The media doesn’t discuss another thing about Romney, and that is the power behind the mormon church.
“’Vote for biblical values this November 6, and pray with me that America will remain one nation under God.’”
Amen, Reverend Graham. Amen and Amen.
How any Christian can support Dems is way beyond me. It’s more than abortion and marriage. The heart of the jackass party is envy, jealousy, bitterness and coveting other people’s money. And idolatry. It”s all about replacing God with government. They want people to look to and rely on gov rather than God.
I wish more Christians would get this.
There’s a reason my 17 month old has the middle name Graham.
Bill Clinton wasn’t a conservative either..yet,the pubs dragged him kicking and screaming to do the right thing.
Most of the good that came out of Clinton Admin,that he now takes credit for, wasn’t his doing.
May God have mercy on Billy Graham, he had become an apostate in the past, and he is proving it now by making any claim or connection of the Mormon Romney to actually being aligned rightly with God.
Both Romney and Obama have followed a ‘god’ that is directly condemned in Scripture: Mormonism and Islam.
Gal 1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
Gal 1:7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
Gal 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
Gal 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any [man] preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
When a candidate’s morals & character don’t matter to you:
And you thought Romney was an American patriot? Yikes!

The Irrelevance of the Republican Party

Precisely.
Therefore, when it comes to POTUS, I'll vote for pro-lifer Virgil Goode of the Constitution Party.
Mitt Romney has made pro-abortion actions/statements in 1994, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2012...
2012: Abortions are a-ok, Romney told CBS News in late August...in cases of health (not just life) of the mother...[And guess who gets to determine if a mom's "health" "qualifies"...yup...the abortionist and the abortion industry!]
2007: (Dec)...Romney tells Katie Couric that's it's "OK" for parents to give up their embryos either for adoption or to "donate" them to research
(Hey, Mitt...good thing that Mary didn't have that option of "Donating" embryo Jesus to "research...")
2006: RomneyCare passed...Up until that time, the MA govt was under court order to provide Medicare abortions for rape & incest...RomneyCare expanded that for any and all reasons, providing $50 abortions which have since become "free" for the mom dismembering her child...@ MA taxpayers' expense!!!
Also, Romney failed to veto a portion of RomneyCare which left a Planned Parenthood rep as a permanent oversight board of it!
2005: (Late May)...Romney assured all at a press conference that he wouldn't threaten the "status quo" on abortion in that state...even though about 7 months earlier, he had supposedly undergone a "pro-life" conversion...Some "conversion" that was!
2002: Romney contacts two pro-abortion voters' guides during his run for gov to ensure his pro-abortion stances get included
1994: Ann Romney donates $ to Planned Parenthood...all as Mitt attends a Planned Parenthood fundraiser!!!
So...this is where Billy Graham has talked out of both sides of his mouth...vote pro-life values (in the ad)...all while endorsing Romney the pro-abort!
But, Mr. Graham, if you’ve always believed this, why have you said you were always a Democrat at heart?
An Open Letter Regarding Governor Mitt Romney
January 11, 2007
Dear conservative friends:
We hail from a broad spectrum of organizations dedicated to fighting for the pro-family agenda in Massachusetts. As you know, Mitt Romney became the governor of our state in 2003. Since that time, we have worked closely with him and his excellent staff on that agenda.
Some press accounts and bloggers have described Governor Romney in terms we neither have observed nor can we accept. To the contrary, we, who have been fighting here for the values you also hold, are indebted to him and his responsive staff in demonstrating solid social conservative credentials by undertaking the following actions here in Massachusetts:
• Staunchly defended traditional marriage. Governor Romney immediately and strongly condemned the 2003 court decision that legalized “same-sex marriage” in our state. More importantly, he followed up on that denunciation with action – action that saved our nation from a constitutional crisis over the definition of marriage. He and his staff identified and enforced a little-known 1913 law that allowed them to order local clerks not to issue marriage licenses to out-of-state couples. Absent this action, homosexual couples would surely have flooded into Massachusetts from other states to get “married” and then demanded that their home states recognize the “marriages,” putting the nation only one court decision away from nationalizing “same-sex marriage.”
• Worked hard to overturn “same-sex marriage” in the Commonwealth with considerable progress to date. In 2004 he lobbied hard, before a very hostile legislature, for a constitutional amendment protecting marriage – an amendment later changed by the legislature to include civil unions, which the Governor and many marriage amendment supporters opposed. Working with the Governor, we were successful in defeating this amendment.
• Provided active support for a successful citizen petition drive in 2005 to advance a clean constitutional amendment defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman.
• Rallied thousands of citizens to focus public and media attention on the failure of legislators, through repeated delays, to perform their constitutional obligation and vote on the marriage amendment.
• Filed suit before the Supreme Judicial Court. The Governor’s suit asked the court to clarify the legislators’ duty to vote and failing that, to place the amendment on the 2008 ballot. That lawsuit, perhaps more than any other single action, was by all accounts instrumental in bringing pressure on the legislators to vote. The vote ultimately was taken on January 2, 2007 and won legislative support – clearing a major hurdle in the three year effort to restore traditional marriage in the Commonwealth.
• Fought for abstinence education. In 2006, under Governor Romney’s leadership, Massachusetts’ public schools began to offer a classroom program on abstinence from the faith-based Boston group Healthy Futures to middle school students. Promoting the program, Governor Romney stated, “I’ve never had anyone complain to me that their kids are not learning enough about sex in school. However, a number of people have asked me why it is that we do not speak more about abstinence as a safe and preventative health practice.”
• Affirmed the culture of life. Governor Romney has vetoed bills to provide access to the so-called “morning-after pill,” which is an abortifacient, as well as a bill providing for expansive, embryo-destroying stem cell research. He vetoed the latter bill in 2005 because the could not “in good conscience allow this bill to become law.”
• Stood for religious freedom. Last year, Governor Romney was stalwart in defense of the right of Catholic Charities of Boston to refuse to allow homosexual couples to adopt children in its care. Catholic Charities was loudly accused of “discrimination,” but Governor Romney correctly pointed out that it is unjust to force a religious agency to violate the tenets of its faith in order to placate a special-interest group.
• Filed “An Act Protecting Religious Freedom” in the Massachusetts legislature to save Catholic Charities of Boston and other religious groups from being forced to violate their moral principles or stop doing important charitable work.
All of this may explain why John J. Miller, the national political reporter of National Review, has written that “a good case can be made that Romney has fought harder for social conservatives than any other governor in America, and it is difficult to imagine his doing so in a more daunting political environment.”
We are aware of the 1994 comments of Senate candidate Romney, which have been the subject of much recent discussion. While they are, taken by themselves, obviously worrisome to social conservatives including ourselves, they do not dovetail with the actions of Governor Romney from 2003 until now – and those actions have positively and demonstrably impacted the social climate of Massachusetts.
Since well before 2003, we have been laboring in the trenches of Massachusetts, fighting for the family values you and we share. It is difficult work indeed – not for the faint of heart. In this challenging environment, Governor Romney has proven that he shares our values, as well as our determination to protect them.
For four years, Governor Romney has been right there beside us, providing leadership on key issues – whether it was politically expedient to do so or not. He has stood on principle, and we have benefited greatly from having him with us.
It is clear that Governor Romney has learned much since 1994 – to the benefit of our movement and our Commonwealth. In fact, the entire nation has benefited from his socially conservative, pro-family actions in office. As we explained earlier, his leadership on the marriage issue helped prevent our nation from being plunged into even worse legal turmoil following the court decision that forced “gay marriage” upon our Commonwealth.
For that our country ought to be thankful. We certainly are.
Sincerely,
Rita Covelle

“What did Romney really believe about Jesus Christ? Romney didn’t hesitate. “When I say JESUS CHRIST IS MY LORD AND SAVIOR, I realize that means something different to you than it does to me,” he admitted.
But he urged them to remember their shared beliefs: the faith that Christ was born of a virgin, was crucified and rose after three days. The ministers were pleased. “So you’re really a Baptist?” Lee cracked.”

I agree which is why I will never vote for Mitt Romney. I am voting for Virgil Goode and I am very saddened to see Rev Graham roll over for a non-Christian who is a liberal.
