Romney Pharma Chief's Fundraiser - Fr. Pavone on Romney (long title, excerpted)

I have no idea what you’re talking about. I wasn’t talking about Romney. Fr. Pavone has put his Republican Party status ahead of principle for some time, using the exact sort of morally-flawed self-justifications he used in the quotes in this article. He did the same thing with McCain for example.

The primary obstacles to stopping the abortion holocaust in this country are the “leaders” of the “pro-life” industry, including Pavone.

If they’ve endorsed Romney, they’re compromised. You can take that to the bank. And while you’re there you’ll probably run into some of these folks cashing their checks.

“A pattern” is not the same as “always”

[EternalVigilance]

Even so, you should not imply that pro-lifers are endorsing Romney because of financial gain, which is what you did with your “Follow the money” comment. You are making an assumption about ther motives, which you do not know.

I'm not stupid. Romney is a leveraged buyout guy. That's what he does. And he and his well-heeled supporters have been buying everyone who can be bought in the GOP hierarchy for years now. You can claim that that doesn't have anything to do with the support he has received from these people all you want, but that doesn't even pass the laugh test.

“Fr. Pavone has a history of politically embracing liberals and compromisers of truth and principle using this theory of his, and it’s killing us.

We’re not stupid EV”

I sure did notice. Inconsistencies in his “argument” allowed me to walk away from any further interaction.

Waste of time.

Inconsistencies in his “argument” allowed me to walk away from any further interaction.

Other than fear-mongering or throwing insults, walking away from discussions about principle is about all Romney Republicans can do. I mean, what else is there for them?

Thanks for your profound insight.

I’ll try and remember you when I need another one.

[stanne]

Here’s some insight. Try Fr. Groeschel or Cardinal Fulton Sheen.

[stanne]

I did not throw an insult nor did I walk away from a discussion. I walked away from illogical banter.

[EternalVigilance]

“Illogical banter”? You asked for an example and I gave you one, right from the article at the top of the thread. I can’t help it can’t deal with that.
