“We oppose Mitt the liberal because that is what he is. His being a Mormon has nothing to do with it.”
I wish that were true. Take a look at this current thread. Thankfully, most freepers don’t judge by religion alone, but plenty do.
Judge Romney By His Religion? I Do It, and So Should You..
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/2397313/posts
Let me get this straight. Reagan signed pro-abort lgislation into law and then later said he made a mistake and had learned from it. But if anyone running against Palin has the same epiphany they are RINO’s that need to be run out of town on a rail?
I’m not defending Romney, just pointing out the inconsistencies.
“Not here at least.”
True. It was posted at his play pen, not here, but it was an Opus, and I saw it here thanks to Pissant.
I could not agree more. It is despicable, makes FR look like a real right wing hate site. I don’t think Mitt has ever killed a fly much less a baby. It is like they want to destroy everyone in the GOP except Sarah. Ridiculous, probably the same origin as the left’s diseased minds, definitely a mental disorder. I don’t care about Mitt’s religion. Freep mail me if you know any decent conservative sites that are not on steroids. I have not looked at many threads so as to avoid the pics. Do they really think this is doing anything positive?
FR is on a self destructive path. The kooks and TOTALLY INTOLERANT WIN. But what do they win? They make themselves feel powerful for a few days.
RomneyCare ~ ObummerCare.
Just say “No!” to Socialism.
Ping!!!!!
Maybe wrong, but not liberal.
Romneycare was an attempt to avoid socialized medicine, and solve the problem of “free riders.” That was what Heritage and Romney were trying to do. Because of changes made by the Democrat legislature, it is probably more expensive than planned, but I think the overruns are exaggerated by some here. I’d like to see some reliable data, not data posted by anti-Romney folks.
But, in any event, to call it “socialized medicine” is completely dishonest. All insurance and care is through the private sector. It was an attempt to solve the problem of the uninsured showing up at emergency rooms and getting care ultimately paid for by you and me. The law won’t let the hospitals turn them away.
Speak for yourself. Refrain from insulting ME and many others here with such stupid charges.
No, it is not. As I recall, the video is clearly labelled as being from 2002.
Mitt NEVER said Peagan was pro choice.
But, the most disingenuous claim Romney has made, and one that can be assessed for its truth, is his claim that he has grown in his abortion position just like Ronald Reagan did when Reagan was first confronted with the issue while Governor of California in 1967. Romney told Chris Wallace that as governor Reagan was "adamantly pro-choice," and that Reagan "became pro-life as he experienced life," and presumably as his governorship evolved.
So you don't even know what you are talking about in your attempt to defend Romney. What a shock.
Actually, I’ve gotten sick of the Romney bashing and the constant Romneycare stuff on just about every freakin’ thread. I get it. I really do. Can we move on now??
Mitt thinks spending some money is just as good as having principles. I disagree.
I also think we will have yet another swing in terms of personality ...I think Romney is just too slick ...a bit akin to Obama.
After Obama I think everyone will want someone a little more “real”again
You are correct. 65 replies and still.... Very few people get that pissy did not author this.
That being the case.... I think Pissant should get the zot.
see ya next year pissy. When jimrob takes down the anti Mitt ads and replaces them with the FReepathon.
(keep those donations coming in, however. mmm-kay? kthanksbye)
Previously, these add-ons on threads were done during fundraisers.
In the 2nd quarter, it seemed every fundraiser add-on was an anti-Romney statement. That fundraiser seemed to go on forever.
In the 3rd quarter, it seemed there were very few if any attacks on Romney during the fundraiser. That fundraiser went really quickly.
Then, after the fundraising was over, the anti-Romney stuff started appearing, outside of the fundraiser.
This could just be coincidence, or it could be that someone figured out that attacking Romney non-stop wasn’t good for raising money.
Wow, I didn’t know that. He put his name behind it though.
When I was checking out 2008 candidates, I asked his campaign what his stance is and has been on abortion. I never received a reply. That was a big turnoff.
Well, you did spell 'Historian' as 'Historan.' ;-)
Reagan signed what was meant as very limited and targeted abortion legalization legislation for instances where the health of the mother was in danger. Doctors abused that provision, and Reagan learned from it and later said he regretted signing the legislation as a result.
Romney supported legal abortion demand - including minors being able to get an abortion without parental notification or consent - as he campaigned in 1994 and 2002.
If you can't grasp the difference, I can't help you.
So true....
