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.
I would have missed this idiot thread but for complaints about it in FR mail from others, not you.
GOOD to see you, but not under these circumstances!
I’ve just returned from San Diego (yesterday). Heat wave, even at the beach. Lots of jelly fish and even a stingray at South Mission.
Well when you add to that my propensity towards convoluted and/or unclear thinking, we have a real mess.
I'm not quite at Elsie's level yet though, he sometimes has a dialog with himself.
Is your water red, too?
My recollection is that the company hired to do this work; brought on; as many did; workers who were not legal. No; Romney did not run around the yard checking ID’s; but then; most people did not; until recently.

Ditching Cheney is not in the character of GW;
***It would not be ditching, it would be more like letting the man go do the fishing he always wanted to do. If GWB were presented with the choice to do it over again, having seen this disaster fall upon the GOP, I think he would have chosen someone worthwhile to give a leg up.
Cheney did great as VP except for one thing that a VP is supposed to do — represent the future of the party. That’s one thing Romnuts is getting right by choosing Ryan.
Have no idea what that means.
Hunter’s name was out there; in the Republican ‘field’ during Primary season; it did not happen.
***This provides the perfect example. If GWB had installed Hunter as VP, who would have had the advantage at the starting gate? Hunter. Almost all the criticism about him was that he was a no-name.
That was GOVERNOR Romney at the personal home of the Governor, first Mitt Romney and wife, and then Governor Mitt, with all of his state resources and security, were interacting with the Guatemalan illegals at their home for 10 years. The landscaper that the illegals worked for, was a naturalized Colombian himself, (A naturalized Colombian, Guatemalan illegals, and a sitting Governor), IDs better have been checked.
In December of 2006, the republican Governor was exposed, and suffered national embarrassment for using illegals for 10 years.
In December of 2007, in a national debate, Rudy Giuliani accused Mitt Romney of having run a "Sanctuary Mansion". On national TV, Mitt Romney indignantly denied the claim.
A few days after the debate, the Boston Globe decided to look again at Mitt's house, and guess what, they found Guatemalan illegals, they were working for the same Colombian, MITT HAD NEVER FIRED THEM!
Ten years and a national scandal, turned into 11 years, and a second national scandal, with all the same players, the same "contractor", Guatemalan illegals, and the same Mitt Romney and his wife interacting with them at their home during the week.
Okay. ..’busted’. Meantime; we have an ‘illegal’ President; that much of America hired.
Sometimes I’m amazed at how someone who believes one thing, can read such a damning revelation of facts, which reverses that belief, and then simply ignore it, and then switch to ‘so what, let’s move on to another argument then’.
It is amazing that almost no one knows the story in post 3312.
Romney is a closed book to the public and republican voters, a person that seems to have emerged fully grown, with almost no past or political history, to run for president as a “conservative” republican.
Yep, Romney was not just lying to cover up an unpleasant scandal from the previous year, he was lying about illegals that he would see at his home literally the next day or two.
I submit a motion that it would be of benefit to FR if the entire idiot thread just disappeared. To The Ozone. IMHO.
