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.
Jeff put on this thread, that JR supported Mitt Romney in 2008, because he accepted his current positions, and did not judge him by his past.
The post was to a guy laying into JR for not supporting Romney, and for not judging him by his current positions, and who was even denying that Romney even had that past.
I think we all agree that that is about as vicious a thing that we have seen put on JR, especially on his own, anti-Romney thread.
Then again: I'm a sarcastic p***k... so, you know: It Is What It Is. ;)
I voted for Gingrich, who was still on the ballot in Cali by the time we got to choose... shmooze... what a crock.
Why would you think I have a problem with Jews?
I happened to grow up in a town with a very large Jewish community and, as an evangelical Christian, I am as Zionist as they come.
You’re looking for a fight for some reason. Maybe because you couldn’t counter my point? That you didn’t know the scriptures?
Persistent but brief..
;o)
MORE than ready! Judeo-Christian!
The godless belongs in a 3rd world country!
Ours was May 29th..but Newt was still on the ballot and I voted for him in Texas.
That was my protest vote..I want my November vote to count...to defeat the Obamanation and his gang.
“Jeff put on this thread, that JR supported Mitt Romney in 2008, because he accepted his current positions, and did not judge him by his past.”
Is that it? Heck...I supported Romney then, too, because he was the alternative to McCain........and that’s it, and the only reason. However, I supported him in the end, and was disappointed that he dropped out.
“The post was to a guy laying into JR for not supporting Romney, and for not judging him by his current positions, and who was even denying that Romney even had that past.”
Please give me a link to the post. I would love to read it for myself.
Thank you in advance.
You and your ilk
Oh? Again: what is my "ilk," then? Please, by all means: enlighten me, oh, do.
Youre looking for a fight for some reason.
You know what? On second thought: never mind the response... 'kay?
For the record:
"Your vote is your vote. That's how this country is supposed to work."
Hitting my “like” button on this post!
By your “ilk”, there is no reason for you to think that I was talking about Jews except for the fact that you want to be insulted.
Other than that, what’s your beef.............except that you can’t quote scriptures...only CS Lewis.
I see a potentially commercial Jewish "take" on The Screwtape Letters. Run with me on this.
"So, Screwtape, my good-for-nothing nephew who never calls, never writes... to me you're all of a sudden coming, now, wanting to know the best way to bring about a little tsuris, maybe...?" ;)
Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
Don't go all crazy-Kathy Bates-stalker-lady-in-Misery on me, now. Take "goodbye" for an answer.
Anything good - evil attacks! And they think he will bring change. HA!
"Finally, a spirit came forward, stood before the LORD and said, 'I will entice him.' "'By what means?' the LORD asked.
"'I will go and be a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets,' he said. "'You will succeed in enticing him,' said the LORD. 'Go and do it.'
"So now the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouths of these prophets of yours. The LORD has decreed disaster for you."
You speak such truth! lol
;o)
It was a bald faced lie.
Don’t you know how absurd a lie that is?
We know of course that you would, and did support Romney, that is a given, but to JR he was Giuliani part II.
Attacks don’t get any nastier than to try to create that falsehood on the internet, and on JR’s own thread reminding everyone of just how despicable, the pro-abortion, pro-homosexual, anti-conservative Romney is.
Hey! Maybe THAT'S my "ilk," then! ;)
OK, I did catch a post from Jeff where he said he was mistaken about Jim supporting Romney way back when and he apologized for the error. Am I wrong about that?
I didn’t see the original Post though, but I can’t imagine Jeff attacking Jim. They go way back, and I don’t know of a more decent man than Jeff Head whose Posts I have been following for years here.
All I know is that Jeff is a better Man than I, which is why I was taken aback by your accusation towards him.
I would hope the incident was nothing more than a misunderstanding. As I said earlier, disagreements are not attacks, at least that’s the way it used to be around here.
Well, off to bed. Thanks for the quick reply.
