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.
You know what is sad, is that you don’t even grasp the very point you are making.
If I hated Mormons, I would be glad they were believing a false religion and would not try to help them.
***Well, that’s a good point. Unfortunately it is lost in all the noise & invective. The best way to help mormons right now is to move the mormonism discussion over to the religion forum. This particular thread had only a side note about mormonism.
Yea, some of it is kind of sad, but really exciting!
LOL!
There is not much that phazes me anymore...heh
I am doing well, and hope the same for you.
Almost 2000 posts and I count zero ABO’s “converted” by the Christian religious nuts. They are taking “Christian outreach” to a whole new level. Congratulations to them. I know they are proud.
I thought troll too... but if 2 mods complained and were forced to resign, makes you wonder who it really is.... makes me go hmmmm. That said, check out the past posts of CO. Obsessed with Mormons for many, many years.
LOL...what was that old joke about girls drinking beer on the beach and Schlitz?
Just simple majorities, Catholics 54% for Obama, Protestants, 54% for McCain.
My first choice was Cain, then Newt but we are stuck with what we have...Its not just obama I want to get rid of but all the marxist in his administration that put out regulations by the hundreds to hurt the business. I may not like Romney but those that he puts in those positions is also of importance. Obama didn’t write the 2900 pages of Obamacare, those flunkies around him did....I think Romney would have better people around him than Obama,thats what I am counting on at this point, not just one man but who that man surrounds himself with....all you hear is Romney vs Obama, its more important than that, its who Romney puts in the positions that Obama did. Betting they are not the same people...
Oh yea! I live for the day.
Those who can put aside their conservative principles momentarily to vote for the lesser evil should go ahead and do so.
***That does not sound healthy. I believe it’s the first time I’ve heard you say it.
Romney remains unacceptable.
Perhaps we should write in Ryan.
Until the Republican party understands that it cannot win with centrists like McCain and Romney, conservatives gain nothing from Republican electoral victories, — if they have any.
as it did in 2008 when Jim supported him against McCain.

Was that a typo? Did Jim Rob support Romney over McCain in 2008?
Ill just make sure i get enough more people to polls to off set these delusional people
Kevmo: ***That does not sound healthy. I believe it’s the first time I’ve heard you say it.
Sadly, there are way too many who have fallen prey.
Redemption is the Lord’s, not man’s. Romney said he has made mistakes.
Are you saying Romney is a conservative?
Thank you. I appreciate the kind words. I am determined to do the best I can to leave the country I love in better shape than it is. Obama is a destroyer. He would like nothing better than to make sure there is no USA left for my child and grandchildren.
I am watching Paul Ryan on the local news right now. With a smile on my face.
The ABRs can attack me all they want; that is their right. I guess I am a flip flopper. Oh well, that is my right. :)
God Bless the USA.
