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.
Jim, I deeply respect you and your opinions, but.....I must strongly disagree with you on this one. Romney is not the problem, Obama is!!! I believe we are trying to save our country, our freedom, our liberty, our opportunity, our education, our children, their future, the future of children yet to come, individual excellence, the pursuit of happiness, etc.
Yes, my friend, I am looking at how close I think the popular vote will be. If Romney looks like he will take the electoral college, it may be important to also win the majority of the popular vote and take away an issue from the RATS they surely will try to exploit. I may end up voting for him in California if I deem it important.
But the mittbot crowd just blithely overlooked all of that.

'Next time? You assume a great deal. Do you know what Obama has in mind, for his 'next four'? It may well, include canceling any 'next time' by myopic RNC 'leadership'; and any next time for naive voters; who do not recognize the 'change' in our political landscape - thus far - under Obama. He promises his best; yet to be delivered. .
Am amazed at how many here; 'assume' the luxury of a next time; even as they witness Obama shredding our Constitution - and our Freedoms with it - while promising to further subvert; so as to expedite his fundamental change of America.
We know what 'fundamental' means; no?
An eon of degradation of America has passed; in the nearly four years of Obama, Inc.
Did the German people too; imagine they could just vote Hitler out - next time?
The time is NOW, folks. Good God Almighty; it is NOW.
PS You seem very angry. You may believe it is righteous anger, but it’s tone is far that. I know this wont mean squat to you, but I’ll pray that you find some peace. After all, if you have accepted Him, you’re good for eternity (as long as you try your best, and yes, many of us will disagree on what that exactly is, the point is to faithfully try, which you clearly are).
Are those boots fire proof? Seems you are in competition with satan, he HATES God's WORD, also, and stomps on IT every chance he gets.
Why not skate to the voting booth, it's faster since you are hell bent to cast your vote.
Coming out of, mostly, lurk mode to bump your wonderful post to the tippy top!
I agree with every single word in your post, and you have my full support.
Hello again,
“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. “
That nails it right there. Ryan is not enough. The US needs a bold - radically bold - free market reformer willing to take unpopular stands under withering criticism, in the mold of Thatcher, Churcill, Regan, heck Lincoln.
Sarah Palin was our best bet, but she decided to remain a TV celebrity, because that’s easier. None of the current crop of wannabees will do. They’re all RINOs or likely RINOs who either have no sense of what’s needed to permanently reverse this slide toward socialism and tyranny or do not have the willingness to do what has to be done.
G*d save America.
Ryan is a RINO!
They are all RINO’s All of them I Tell ya. I am the only true Conservative left. They are all RiNO’s
Dick Cheney loves his gay daughter, RINO. He said he loved his gay daughters’ kid, and was OK with their ‘marriage’ RINOs, all of them.
That RINO Reagan. He actually signed a law that allowed for more abortions in California, It is even rumored he was a DEMOCRAT once! RINO, maybe WORSE than a RINO. He even RAISED the FICA tax to save Social Security, Any true Republican would have killed Social Security! DANG RINO Reagan he ruined the GOP & the country!
Don't get me started on that SOB Eisenhower. He was such a huge RINO. He expanded the Federal Government and built roads across the states, RINO. It would have been better had he never been born than to be such a RINO!
Help we are surrounded!
If only we could find a true Conservative Republican, but alas we are all RINO’s now.
Even Sarah Palin, RINO! So sad! She has turned her back on the country and the constitution,. She is little more than a skulking RINO Whore who sold her soul to Romney. What did he do to our Sarah. No NOT YOU TOO SARAH! SAY IT ISN”T SO!
OH PLEASE!
Way to take his post out of context, bub.
Good hearing from you, Jeff. Religion really is an issue in this campaign. But not Mormonism. Islam. As a Catholic, I am not threatened by Mormons. But I am threatened by radical Islam. It is the greatest threat Western Civilization faces, and we have an occupant in the White House who is at best sympathetic to them and at worst one of them.
This nation is about to hit the iceberg and sink economically, taking with it the rest of the world. There is a very short window of opportunity to turn the ship around. Obama is neither capable of that nor interested in that. He wants the colonial powers to be destroyed. That really is the dream of his father.
MormonISM is the LDS belief system.
Mormons are individuals that follow that particular belief system.
When anti-Mormon is stated, it is usually understood that it means anti individual Mormons.
In other words, dislikes Mormons because they are Mormons.
When anti-MormonISM is stated, it is usually clear that it is anti the LDS belief system.
All main stream Christian denominations declare that the LDS belief system is not a part of main stream Christianity because of the many extra-Biblical beliefs that are propagated by the LDS prophets of old and recent.
For instance, that the Book of Mormon is the gospel truth, while the Bible is only accurate when “properly translated”
Which give the opportunity to deny certain Biblical truths.
Much more can be learned by visiting the Religion Forum here at Free Republic.
Sigh...this is why we can’t have nice things...
At what point did half the conservative world start buying the liberal bullshit that we all must sing kumbya and get our participation trophy?
For those of you internet conservatives that forgot, ‘party politics’ and religion exist not to compromise, but to put likeminded people together to forward their beliefs/agenda.
We do not need less polarization, we need MORE polarization.
Now if you want to believe the moon is really a cow in a grey coat, Good for you. But don’t sit there preaching that christians or conservatives are white supremacists if they won’t cave in their beliefs and back your personal convictions.
Words mean things. You can call a dog’s tail a 5th leg. Guess what? It’s a tail. And we now experience our dillema because people on compromise have wrecked both political parties and most if not all organized faiths.
And namecalling with paralell cries of ‘unity’ are hallmarks of the left. People who use those tactics and espouse compromise over principle ARE what ails America. Hell they destroyed America.
Had Washington compromised, we’d still be British. That fact seems lost on modern ‘conservatism’.
As for faith and belief, if you don’t believe your faith is correct, why in Sam Hell are you are a member of it? And why would you NOT put it above everyone elses and defend it completely?
I swear to God that almost NO ONE left thinks anything through to it’s logical conclusion anymore.
YOU GET IT! How refreshing to read what some are SO clueless to. They have the same info as you have and can’t see the obvious. There is none so blind as those who REFUSE to see.
And McCain could have chose Palin for the same reason as her ‘rep’ for taking on either side of the aisle was no problem for here. She went after corruption where ever she found it. And what couldn’t be done - SHE DID IT! Someone who is a proven conservative with a 83% favorable rating sure made the lackluster spineless RINO’S look bad!
