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.
Don't simply lie, clumsily, and say you've looked, next time, pookums.
Really. DO. It.
And send JimRob that "evidence." Tonight.
Too Funny! I never saw them before.
So you made them for a Jared Pissant - as a parting gift?
‘TAKE YOUR CAMPAIGN OF DIVISION AND ANGER AND HATE BACK TO CHICAGO’
Romney slams Obama in tough new speech

Mitt Romney used a tough new campaign speech to personally blast the Obama campaign on Tuesday, saying comments earlier in the day from Vice President Biden are “what an angry and desperate Presidency looks like.”
“Mr. President, take your campaign of division and anger and hate back to Chicago,” Romney said while campaigning in Ohio.
Romney was responding to Biden’s suggestion that the GOP ticket’s economic policies would “put y’all back in chains.”
The vice president made the remark while campaigning in Virginia, during a discussion of Wall Street regulation.
“They’ve said it. Every Republican’s voted for it. Look at what they value and look at their budget and what they’re proposing. Romney wants to let the — he said in the first 100 days, he’s going to let the big banks once again write their own rules — unchain Wall Street,” Biden said. “They’re going to put y’all back in chains. He’s said he’s going to do nothing about stopping the practice of outsourcing.”
Romney repeatedly and harshly criticized Team Obama for the remarks.
“His campaign and his surrogates have made wild and reckless accusations that disgrace the office of the Presidency. Another outrageous charge came a few hours ago in Virginia. And the White House sinks a little bit lower,” Romney said.
“This is an election in which we should be talking about the path ahead, but you don’t hear any answers coming from President Obama’s re-election campaign. That’s because he’s intellectually exhausted, out of ideas, and out of energy. And so his campaign has resorted to diversions and distractions, to demagoguing and defaming others. This is an old game in politics; what’s different this year is that the president is taking things to a new low.”
Romney’s remarks echo those of his campaign spokeswoman, who earlier in the day called Biden’s remarks a “new low.”
Nope. I'm doing a long, leisurely victory lap, 'round the bases.
She's... it's... hell, I dunno what THAT thing thinks it may (or may not) be doing, at this point. ;)
Link is garbage and you know it. POST THE LINKS! pookums? POOKUMS? I hope you’re female because if you aren’t you must be gay. POOKUMS? ROFLMAO! What a freaking nerd.

You know how a huge lead can just go poof at the end in this state. A “safe” seat can turn into “leans Democrat” within the space of 8 weeks. It’s crazy here.
I can’t Freep or use FR to organize grassroots activities for him if it is permitted to trash his religion in any News/Activism forum.
Please meet us halfway.
You're talking about Dean Heller who is running for the U.S.Senate in Nevada. Like Romney, he is a Mormon. Like Romney, he is a switch-hitter when it comes to protecting life:
"I'm a Mormon and I teach Sunday school every week, but I do back a woman's right to choose abortion. It is the conservative position." - Dean Heller (2006)
Like Romney, he now (six years later) claims to be pro-life. Maybe he is.
I will probably vote for Heller. I will not hold his "religion" against him. However, he should be tested as to the legitimacy of his pro-life conversion and he should be expected to answer for his earlier pro-abortion statements.
I want to conquer a vast, institutional party.
***Them are big plans. I’m not sure I understand what you mean.
"Oh, No," He Said, Grateful To Be Speaking With An Actual Adult Once More. ;) Only the very last one -- the Piper Palin one -- qualified as a post-ZOT shot.
All the others were as-each-and-every-unhinged-pissant-posting-took-place antidotes to his increasingly redolent anti-Palin poison.
... and there were scads and scads more of 'em, to boot! ;)
By the way, I won’t move this thread to the Religion Forum because I don’t want to burden the Religion Moderator with all this trash, but will move it out of the news forum per your request and to the backroom.
HEY !!! Willard !!!

Hipocrisy?
Maybe if you answered the simple question, your own hypocrisy wouldn’t be such a freepin’ issue.
Because, what I see, is not Christ-like.
*** Was JESUS Christ-like when He called false teachers Vipers, and Sons of the Devil?
Every last posting I've ever made on FR is linked, right there.
Shouldn't even be a problem for you, should it? After all, you've already claimed to have (homoerotically) read each and every last one of 'em... right?
So: sent JimRob all of that lovely, damning "evidence" yet, short stack?
Well the policy has always been that RINOs should not attack our conservative candidates, ever! But stating policy and getting people to abide by them are two different animals. And, no, we’re not going to ask the moderators to police the threads over nonsense or nitpicking abuses.
Because you refuse to follow Christ’s teaching.
***Was JESUS Christ-like when He called false teachers Vipers, and Sons of the Devil? Was Christ following Christ’s teaching when he did this?
For straight is the gate and narrow is the way that leads one unto life and few are those that find it, so BEWARE of the false prophets who come among you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are extortioners and wolves. Matt 7:15
Acts 20:29-30: “For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves.”
I am going to be blatantly honest here: no one really cared about your anti-mormon conspiracy theories disguised as christian identity issues when they were buried in the Religion forum. The Religion forum sidebar is not readily accessed from FR’s homepage. You have to do some stuff to make it show up. People can discuss conservative issues, activism, and news posts for over a decade without viewing a single Religion thread.
***Then you admit it. These threads have been going on for a long time and this is your first one. The only real reason why you care is because now there’s a mormon GOP candidate.
We’re supposed to be united in conservatism and not nitpicking each others’ different religions since we’re supposed to be pro-G-d and pro-life here as part of all the things that make up the conservative political movement.
***Then take that up on the religious forum, where such subjects have been going on for over a decade. Oh, wait, you neglected to do so. How is that OUR problem?
When the bigotry migrated from the Religion forum to News/Activism forum is when the trouble started. You don’t like Romney? Debate his platform, his past, his voting record, etc. with other conservatives.
***You’re going round & round in circles on this one. Recall that I wrote: JimRob is the one who ‘decided’ — the brouhaha is over the last paragraph in his article at the beginning of this thread. And it was people like you who got into an uproar over mormonism being called a cult, even though there have been mormonism threads on FR for a decade. Where were you when these threads were posted?
But when you make it about Romney’s RELIGION in the BREAKING NEWS SECTION of the highest traffic conservative website completely unchecked and not moderated, you just labeled ALL of us conservative Freepers as bigots to the outside world.
***That is something to take up with JimRob. We lowly freepers have no bearing on such decisions. Geez, you’re getting more shrill by the minute.
