I guess Mark is mad that Romney is not a puritanical Reaganite.
I have no comment on your basic argument, but point out that the Veterans Administration which had existed since the 1930's was upgraded to cabinet level and renamed the Department of Veterans Affairs on March 15, 1989. That was under the administration of President George H. W. Bush.
Reagan was NEVER pro-abortion.
Good lord.
Romney IS pro-abortion and has never changed that position.
The Department of Veterans Affairs Act of 1988 (Public Law 100-527) was signed into law by President Reagan on 25 October 1988.

Thanks, I missed that.
Ronald Reagan appointed Sandra Day OConnor to the Supreme Court.
The difference was, romney appointed democrats who were outspoken gay activist and for abortion. Someone did not deceive him. He knew what he was getting. He was so hypocritical about how he did it, just like today. He “says” he's appointing Conservatives, but appoints 2 homosexual activist, then tells everyone he's against gay marriage. He knew exactly what he was doing.
In his Justice Dept, HE appointed the Chief Legal Counsel who unconstitutionally implemented gay marriage WITHOUT going through the legislation. He did not have to sign gay marriage like he said. He could have said NO, you have to do it the right way, but he knew it would not pass. Because of that, Catholic hospitals were forced to give the morning after abortion pills or close shop. He also forced the Catholic Church to either let gays adopt or stop providing adoption services in MA. They stopped after 109 years.

Romney and the gop cheated. You want proof, I'll be glad to post it, but I bet you all have already seen it and don't care if your politician cheats, just like obama fans don't care what he does. This is one of the many reasons our country is so screwed up; no one cares what they do as long as our side wins. It is not a football game; it's our children's future. I must have read 1000 times on FR, accept romney, we can hold his feet to the fire. NO ONE cares what he does, it was all lies.
1979, the year that Mitt left the GOP.

So fot FIFTEEN YEARS until 1994 when he ran as a Republican against Teddy, Willard was an “Independant” ???
What happened the magical year of 1979 to cause him to do that ???
Personally I thought he never was Republican until 1994 but apparantly he was..
There are none so blind as those who will not see.
Brilliant, my friend. Thanks for the heads up.
Thak you dear. I’m finally settling on the opinion that we make it to Nov6. On Nov7 we begin the process of either discarding the GOP for a party that we can be WANTED in, or (a less likely possibility) take back the GOP.

No, we can never hold his feet to the fire. The Rove/Ginsberg wing of the liberal RINO establishment have very clearly made it impossible for Conservatives and especially Tea Party people to have any meaningful say any more.
So let us call it what it truly is.
Let us elect Romney because he is a liberal, progressive Republican instead of a rules-breaking, dictatorial communist like Obama.
But let us not be fooled. He will not govern nearly as to-the-right as G.W. Bush, and W wasn't all that conservative.
At that point, we then need to set up a real conservative party that will actually welcome us, the grass roots. I have coined the name Capitalist Freedom party.
Starting a viable third party would ensure that every election is won by a plurality.
Not being able to claim a majority would take any “mandate” away from the winner, reducing the power of government, which is something we desperately need to do to restore our (God’s) country.
I believe that you’re right about our not being able to restore the GOP to Conservatism. It has been taken over by ruthless thugs who want the leftists to win at any cost, their own, such as Romney, or the other party’s, they do not care.
No offense but, I don't think so. I'm waiting and praying for a miracle to stop romney. If romney wins, maybe it's another punishment from God. We sure deserve it. He will call us all to account for the murder of 50 million babies, the perversion pushed on our kids, the growing arrogance against the God who created us, blesses us and is merciful to us, even now. That will end one day.
I'd probably end up dead, for example. Not that it would bother me in the slightest. What a wonderful reason to be taken home to the Lord!
as usual...a big chunk of freepers moderate right on cue
just mesmerized by flash and a decent speech
you have seen it all before
aside from Ryan and a few morsels of sanity it feels like we are nominating Jerry Ford.
just a parade of moderates who really despise folks like us ..but they have to have us so they throw us bones
but we don’t have to like it or not point out the absurdity of a GOP convention ignoring social issues
We’re all going to end up dead, my dear. It’s what we all do before the finale that counts the most.
(j/k)... ;)
