Except for his unfortunate go along to get along support of TARP, bailouts, stimulus spending and the increased credit limit, etc, Ryan is a pretty good choice. Probably the best choice of the RINOS that were on Romney's short list. I support Ryan for the vice presidency. Wish he were at the top of the ticket, though.
But I still cannot and will not support the grand father of ObamaCare. Romney still loves and brags about his bastard brainchild, RomneyCare, even today when he knows what an anti-liberty socialist POS it is.
And the fact that he advocated that abortion should be safe and legal in America for over three decades of his adult lifetime and even advocated that Roe v Wade should be supported and sustained as settled law precludes any consideration whatsoever by this pro-life Christian for Myth Romney for the presidency.
And the fact that he boasted that he would be better for "gay rights" than Ted Kennedy, and proved it just increases my resistance.
That, and his penchant for gun control, his continuing support for global warming, gays in the scouts, gays in the military, and his record of appointing liberal judges makes it all but impossible for me to support him.
Lastly, we're having a bit of changeover on our moderator staff. At least two moderators resigned this afternoon after I flatly refused to rein in a so-called anti-Mormon "bigot" on FR. Well, if being in opposition to false prophets and false prophecy makes a Christian believer a bigot, then I guess I'm a bigot. I've posted before that I flat do not believe that the Book of Mormon is the true word of God. Nor do I believe that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God. The Christian bible warns us to be weary of false prophets and that I am. Romney being the presumptive Republican nominee does not change that fact.
He;s a liberal. Far from it I’ve talked to himand he is not but the way you are acting is making you look very small and stupid and yes even liberal.
I’m ecstatic about Paul Ryan!
Here’s some of the Best of Paul Ryan vids posted elsewhere:
1. Ryan totally owns President Narcissus in the healthcare so-called forum - Look how scared Obutthole appears when Ryan starts to speak (at 3:00 Obama isnt even listening and at 5:30 Obama flips him off):

2. And after one of President Narcissuss speeches:

That said, Jim, I’m truly puzzled by this obstinate insistence on not doing the ABO vote (Anybody But Obummer).
If your contempt for Mormons is so strong, can I ask you why isn’t your contempt for our Muslim President Bork Obunga even GREATER than your contempt for Mormons?
I find that viewpoint disturbing because many Muzzigers want to exterminate us and I don’t hear that from the Mormons.
Are you willing to be AWOL in the fight against Bork Obunga and waste your vote and all the other ABR folks’ votes that could be used to unseat this tyrant??? That’s how I see you at this point: AWOL in the fight.
If you don’t swallow your pride and vote the strongest candidate to oppose Obama (with the added Paul Ryan bonus), we WILL HAVE A LOT WORSE PROBLEMS than your concerns about Mormons and a Romney presidency, I guarantee you.
I say, hold your breath and do it. It’s actually rational.
My number ONE issue is getting our country’s finances back together because we are literally on the brink of a spending Obamageddon.
If we don’t get our economic house in order, these petty religious squabbles will be irrelevant compared to what it will be like when American society collapses.
What am I missing here?
Eddie Munster
nail head, well said.
Our primary candidates didn’t win.
Like in sport play offs when your team loses, you route for the next best alternative in the final round.
Patriots and soldiers died to save this country. We owe them to vote for a chance to toss Obama out.
Romney has taken conservative stands during the campaign. If he “evolves”, we can hold him politically accountable.
Ryan will be at his side getting the economic reforms done. That alone is worth it.
Otherwise O will be appointing two more Marxists Lesbians to the court and driving up even more unsustainable debt that will sink the nation.
Of course, you are right. Anyone who would take notice of historical lessons is a fool, charge on and let the purges continue.
No, why?
She could handpick Mitt Romney to run as her V.P. and I’d STILL vote for your Aunt Tilley against Obama!
“What am I missing here?”
Everything. Mitt Romney is a lying socialist. The fact that he is a Mormon is just the icing on the cake.
That’s right, Jim, hang on to your “principled conservative” moon bats!
Lose your moderators with any integrity!
I think Paul Ryan believes what i believe - we cannot survive another four years of Obama. How could he refuse the chance to start to undo the damage Obama has caused?
Here's what I've been wondering: how will reelecting Obama get us any closer to seeing a conservative elected in 2016? By then the welfare state will have become so deeply rooted that it will be far too late.
Mr. RomneyCARE invented DEATH PANELS.
We KNOW you like that.
Mr. RomneyCARE invented gay marriage without a vote.
We KNOW you like that.
Mr. RomneyCARE invented ObamaCARE.
We KNOW you like that.
Mr. RomneyCARE invented calling TAXES by the name "fees"
We KNOW you like that.
Mr. RomneyCARE supported TARP.
We KNOW you like that.
Mr. RomneyCARE ruined the GOP in Mass.
We KNOW you like that.
Mr. RomneyCARE installs DNC judges.
We KNOW you like that.
What is "missing" is honesty on your part.
At least two moderators resigned this afternoon after I flatly refused to rein in a so-called anti-Mormon “bigot” on FR.
I’ve seen the “Anti-Morman Bigot” accusations. They seem as hollow as the old “If you don’t support Obama it’s because you’re a racist” crap.
A handful might reject Romney purely over his religious beliefs. The vast majority reject him because he’s a perfect fit with the Liberal-Progressive platform.
Thanks for your great work and your amazing website.
God bless you.
“Please dont let this election tear us apart everyone, we are all on the same team even if we disagree here and there.”
Sorry, apparently some of us are on Team Kenya.
What am I missing here?
“Everything. Mitt Romney is a lying socialist. The fact that he is a Mormon is just the icing on the cake.”
Raising cain,
And what do you think barak hussein is??? Truth telling non-socialist???
Jim, why would any non Mormon think Joseph Smith was a prophet or that the Book of Mormon is the true word of God? That part is easy.
David Axelrod thanks you for your firm support of the Obama Campaign. He's hoping that you will follow that up with a financial contribution, but that's not really necessary, you've done enough.
Mormonism? No, that was just a behind the scenes policy squabble here on FR.
Here’s why I object to Romney:

And if he needs MY vote to win, he’s in heap big trouble. My vote doesn’t mean squat here in California.
