"All officers of government in this country, in every branch, at every level, have as the first obligation of their sacred oath the protection of all innocent lives within their jurisdiction.
Should I be elected to the office of President of the United States, I will keep my oath.
Justice Blackmun, in Roe vs. Wade, admitted that “of course” the child in the womb is protected by the Fourteenth Amendment, if they are a person.
Since it is self-evident that they are a person, my first act as President, after having sworn the oath, will be to publish a presidential finding to that effect.
My second act will be to ask for the resignation of anyone in the executive branch who will not act accordingly.
My third act will be to order the closing of every abortion facility in the country, as per the explicit, imperative requirement of the Supreme Law of the Land.
'No person shall be deprived of life without due process of law.'
'No State shall deprive any person of life without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.'”
-- Tom Hoefling
Fantastic post.
I disagree with your assertions.
However, even if I were to agree, voting for you isn't the answer to the question.

But voting for a pro-choice democrat socialist, out of abject fear, is.
Got it.
I see that you fail to include in your apparent description of Mr. Romney the fact that he currently claims to be pro-life. That is, at best, incomplete, an omission.
As for answers, sometimes they're not readily available. So, you need to get through today, tomorrow, and the next day, so that should the answers come, it will still be meaningful to receive them.
I can see that part of the problem is two-fold: As bad as I may think Mr. Romney is, you think he is far, far worse. As bad as you know Mr. Obama is, I can see that he is far, far worse than even that.
We disagree on these two critical points.

Is that the same Winston Churchill who joined in a military alliance with Stalin in order to beat the Nazis, and who said "If Hitler invaded hell I would make at least a favorable reference to the devil in the House of Commons?
Or is it another guy with the same name??
Too funny to see anyone suffering Tyrannically Anti-Romney Derangement Syndrome playing a Churchill card.
Since your man Romney isn’t here to defend himself, I will on his behalf object to your likening him to Stalin or a Commie.
I’d say he’s more your garden variety liberal, but whatever he is, he’s all yours.
Win or lose, you’re a courageous man, sir.
And, I salute you!
I know that you don’t really mean that.
Please link to a post of mine where I endorse Romney as the best choice for President (other than the 2008 primary, when I preferred him to McCain or Huck because those were the only three choices I had).
You won't be able to do so without selectively editing the quote.
It's one of the clearest indicators of Romney Derangement Syndrome that the patient believes everyone not in 100% agreement with him is a victim of Romney Infatuation Syndrome.
They're all politicians, friend.
Obama is worse than Romney.
Romney is worse than Santorum.
Santorum is worse than Cain.
Cain is worse than Gingrich.
Gingrich is worse than Perry.
Perry is worse than Reagan.
Or however you choose to rank 'em. Everyone draws the line somewhere, and some conservatives draw it in different places than other conservatives do.
Well, no matter how despicable you believe Romney to be, I’d like to think we agree that, employing your format:
Stalin is worse than Romney.
And, that’s why I objected.
Ok, I looked up the abortion mill regs and they are less than hospitals in many states so I do admit I was wrong.
Not a troll though..I just place less importance on social issues versus financial issues when it comes to conservatism. The American people are more concerned about their jobs and the economy right now. People who are underemployed, worried about their job and unemployed tend not to worry about social issues in times like these.
This is how we ended up with Obama. Don't like Romney but can't imagine 4 more years of Obama unleashed-not worrying about getting reelected...he will be Hell on Wheels.
As I posted earlier if this country goes down the tubes financially, the last thing people will have a concern with is abortion and gay marriage. They will be worrying baout where their next mouthful of food comes from.
We are both conservative..I just place economic issues first(smaller gov't, less taxes, less instrusive gov't) and social issue second mostly die to what I believe above. You are the opposite.
You are either severely misinformed or your are a troll . . . judging by your posts on this thread I'm going with troll.

Yeah, I got no problem likening him to a Nazi or a Commie - was kind of the point of the analogy....
Insulting those who choose not to vote for Romney is unlikely to cause a change of mind in those who are being insulted.
There have been numerous stories in the past year which demonstrate how abortion clinics don’t follow normal rules for medical clinics. Perhaps they are supposed to but the laws are not enforced. Kansas has tried but they were sued.
Taking a ABO stance does not make me a liberal or a RINO. Doing so is unlikely to change the mind in those who are being insulted.
Great point!
Yes, thanks!! I found that out when doing some basic google.
I agree. Did sitetest call you a liberal or a RINO? I’ve never seen him behave as anything but a gentleman.
