No Surprise Here: Romney Campaign Co-Chair Endorses...OBAMA
Sunlit Uplands - Blogspot ^ | Wednesday, March 26, 2008 | Gary Glenn

The man who would have advised the White House on future U.S. Supreme Court appointments, had Romney been elected president...

Pepperdine Law Professor Doug Kmiec served as co-chairman of the Romney for President campaign's "Advisory Committee on the Constitution and the Courts." http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=YTJhYTgyZjdkYjAwZDFhOGQ0YTEzYzYxNTMzZWE5ZTA

Now that his first choice philosophically is out of the race, the top advisor on future judicial appointments to the allegedly "conservative" Republican presidential candidate has now endorsed -- naturally, who else? -- the pro-abortion on demand, pro-homosexual agenda, socially liberal Democrat from Illinois, Senator Barack Obama. http://www.slate.com/blogs/blogs/convictions/archive/2008/03/23/endorsing-obama.aspx

Which explains...

...why Kmiec was also comfortable supporting Romney, given Romney's pro-abortion on demand, pro-homosexual agenda, socially liberal political record in Massachusetts.

...how fortunate social conservatives were -- this time -- that Romney's political fortunes did not allow him to elevate someone so lacking in philosophically reliable judgment to a position of influence over future Supreme Court selections.

...why, yet again, it is Romney's philosophical commitment and judgment that are not to be trusted by social conservatives. As if further evidence was needed on this issue beyond Romney's appointment to the Massachusetts bench of two homosexual activists, one a Lesbian and Gay Bar Association board member who'd been an outspoken proponent of homosexual "marriage." http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2007/may/07052510.html

Im sure that Romney would have made better decisions when selecting SCOTUS justices than he did when selecting the guy who was supposed to help him select those justices./s

Ping.

Not at all surprising, for all of us who knew what Romney was all about!

Here's hoping McCain has enough sense to keep Romney off the VP slot.

Don’t hold your breath waiting for the pro-Romney Mormons to show up accusing the anti-Romney Christians that our opposition to him was solely based on his religion.

Yep, never had anything at all to do with closet liberalism, did it? It was always about angels.

“s a Republican, I strongly wish to preserve traditional marriage not as a suspicion or denigration of my homosexual friends but as recognition of the significance of the procreative family as a building block of society. As a Republican and as a Catholic, I believe life begins at conception, and it is important for every life to be given sustenance and encouragement. As a Republican, I strongly believe that the Supreme Court of the United States must be fully dedicated to the rule of law and to the employ of a consistent method of interpretation that keeps the court within its limited judicial role. As a Republican, I believe problems are best resolved closest to their source and that we should never arrogate to a higher level of government that which can be more effectively and efficiently resolved below. As a Republican and a constitutional lawyer, I believe religious freedom does not mean religious separation or mindless exclusion from the public square.”

“In various ways, Sen. Barack Obama and I may disagree on aspects of these important fundamentals, but I am convinced, based upon his public pronouncements and his personal writing, that on each of these questions he is not closed to understanding opposing points of view and, as best as it is humanly possible, he will respect and accommodate them. “

Doug:
You agree with Barack Obama on nothing. Not just some aspects, but all of them. He is against everything you say you are for. You want an agressive approach to terrorism; he is for the opposite. You believe in life at conception; he was so uncaring about the unborn and so extreme, he stopped the born alive act in the Illinois lege (it passed after he left); you are for traditional families, he has promised to LGBT extremists to use his ‘bully pulpit’ to erase distinctions between tradition marriage and gay partnerships.

Obama is not honest if he in any way indicates openness to your point of view, because his record is as an intractable left-liberal, his closest friends are radicals and extremists, and his voting record is so down-the-line Liberal that National Journal rated him the most liberal Senator in the U.S. Senate.

Obama deliberately has used his lack of experience and lack of a tack record to his advantage, to appear to be more moderate than he is. Obama is hiding his records and often ducked votes in the statehouse:

Doug, you are nothing but a fool to fall for this Obama song-and-dance. There is nothing ‘transformational’ about electing the most liberal nominee ever to the Presidency. It is utter folly. Obama lacks the experience and, based on his failure to even leave a Black Liberation Theology church that preached anti-American hate, lack the judgment and courage to be President.

Romney is a liberal, this really shows why.

And yes my opposition to him was because of his liberalism which he tried to hide while running for POTUS.

Any Romney backers care to disagree?

I added a 2012 key word as a reminder for those who are already pushing Myth Romney for 2012.
