The cornerstone of Gov. Mitt Romney's new universal health care law for Massachusetts is a program titled "Commonwealth Care", a plan for thousands of low-income people who could not afford regular health insurance, funded by the taxpayers.
One of the stated benefits covered in Commonwealth Care is "abortions." And Planned Parenthood is written into the law, as part of the "payment policy advisory board."
April 12, 2006. Gov. Mitt Romney signs Massachusetts Universal Health Care law, as Sen. Ted Kennedy, standing behind him, gives his approval and support.
You are a emotional knee-jerker with unsurpassed piety woven in between lapses in judgment.
Nobody ever listens to you except for people like you, and with all your power combined together, you could not blow snot.
Get back to me when you have a coherent thought.
Well that does it for me. I will not vote for the guy. Gulliani was just on with Hannity on Fox and there is NO WAY I will vote for that guy. The is a liar and does NOT understand the 2nd amendment. I will vote for McCain over these two lefties any day if someone better does not come along.
Karl rove has often times said that he wanted America to return to being a majority Republican nation as it was during the McKinley era, the Republican party of that era was had Teddy Roosevelt as it's standard barer, and he was consider a "liberal". in the social sense.
We also did not have the wolf at the door concerning the 2nd amendment (reasonable restrictions does appear in the bill of rights) abortion and infanticide (I thought all men were created equally) atheist jihads against anything Christian in the public marketplace (seperation doctrine is BS) and a raging federal govt that has declared that all private property may be seized and sold to anyone who can pay higher taxes on that property and homosexuals seeking to destroy a 2,000 year old Western Institution(marriage=one man+one woman).
When I see the litany of our potential candidates, I am not impressed with there brands of conservatism, I do not think that they would choose any of those issues as a hill to die on so to speak.
We have a year to watch and read and listen to our "prospects", time and pressure will make even the best stumble, but time and pressure also makes diamonds.
Amen to that.
They're known as "conservatives," and without them, the most RINO's like you would ever get to do is shine the shoes of your liberal brethren in the Democrat Party.

Hell NO!
I agree that the social culture war that we appear to be engaged in was not the issue in the "old days".
Segments of the population have taken this cultural war to levels that approach social breakdown and chaos.
For this reason, I don't really expect a candidate to engage in this war as he runs for national office. common sense would tell you that it would not be wise or prudent, and that this sort of warfare is largely carried out incrementally and after one gets elected.
This works on both sides of the coin. Hillary is not the person she appears to be, and neither is Mitt Romney. In fact, no politician is what they appear to be in this world, and it is up to us, the activist voters, to understand the game better than our brethren, and to not take literal examples like the subject of this post to destroy our own candidates prospects. This is a task that our enemy will employ soon enough, and we should certainly know better as to what is the sizzle and what is the steak.
As to McCain, does anyone really think he is what he says? The so called straight talker?
I'm looking past all this and at the man. I look at his accomplishments, and how he handles complex problems, along with everything he has done going back twenty years or more. I get a feel for what he WILL do. How he WILL act when confronted with huge problems.
So far, Romney looks damn good to me and he is very electable with a broad spectrum of the electorate.
I'm not completely done looking, but I have eliminated a number of others, and my list is very short now. McCain is not on it for sure....he should have retired years ago.
Having said that, I do appreciate his defense of the of the president recently, but he will turn on a dime, and I'm sure that he will in short order. McCain is angling for the Vet vote, of which I am one. But he lost my support years ago with his temper and his audacity. All these things in his past will kill his candidacy if he ever rises to a point where he can threaten Hillary. She will open Pandora's box, and I would imagine the box is full of political goodies.
There are a hundred conservative issues, and you have but one.
It is more of a social complaint, and not a political issue.
You have no idea what a conservative is.
And that goes for the rest of the dog and pony show.
Pure BS. I've been involved in issues ranging from A-Z. Pro-life, pro-second amendment, pro-property rights, border security, fundamental tax reform, judicial appointments and fighting judicial activism, support for the war, election reform, educational choice, and more.
Typical leftist attack. The old "you're a single-issue zealot," slander is a crock. And it's pretty tired as a tactic by your side, too. You need some new material if you're going to be effective. And you need a better candidate than Mitt, as well.
Oh boy. Here comes the spin.
You think you're a jedi or something?
Stormtrooper: Let me see your identification.
Obi-Wan: [with a small wave of his hand] You don't need to see his identification.
Stormtrooper: We don't need to see his identification.
Obi-Wan: These aren't the droids you're looking for.
Stormtrooper: These aren't the droids we're looking for.
Obi-Wan: He can go about his business.
Stormtrooper: You can go about your business.
Obi-Wan: Move along.
Stormtrooper: Move along... move along.
Better watch out there Massachusetts! You are dealing with the archetype Conservative. He has it all figured out. Yessiree!
He and the rest of his party faithful have faithfully lost the House and the senate, but that's not good enough for them...No sir!
They want to give away the presidency to the Dem's as well. I think it's probably likely that they will be successful. look at how they have employed the same tried and true methodology of attacking republicans so that the democrats don't have to!
Talk about triangulation! By golly that is enough to even make old Toe Sucker proud! These real Conservative folks have got it going!
He does not want to hear from some Republican who actually lives in Massachusetts....No sir! he has enough false information to make a stink, and that's enough for him.
You are correct of course, but that does not matter to a Real Conservative these days.....No sirreee!
Yeah, right. It was folks like you who lost it for us through one compromise after another.
My candidates are sitting in Congress and the state house right now. All of them.
Yeah, right. At least we have the sense to fight it out now, in the leadup to the primary season. We spent quite a bit in the way of resources last year in the general election fighting off continuous attacks from RINOs like you right up until election day. You're a bunch of hypocrites.
Yeah, but I'm not a movie character you can hypnotize into ignoring the obvious facts about Mitt. :-)
Frankly, Im tired of losing. A Republican last carried my state in a Presidential election in 1984, and the last time we held a Majority in the State Legislature, the Interstate Highway System was still being debated in the halls of Congress. Let's move from this crap, win elections, and restore America.
Oh, I see. According to Cold Sore, the conservatives are responsible for losing the House and Senate. Couldn't have been the big-spending RINOs who made a mockery of the Reagan Revolution (fiscally and socially conservative) that gave Repubs control of Congress in the first place...until they squandered it.
And where was Mitt in the early 90's, when Gingrich was advancing that revolution via the Contract with America?
According to Mitt's own words, he was a registered "Independent" during the Reagan-Bush era who voted for left-wing Sen. Paul Tsongas in the Democratic presidential primary of 1992 and said he opposed the Contract with America, promised he'd be more effective at promoting the homosexual agenda than Ted Kennedy, endorsed gun control and slammed the NRA, and promised that we "won't see (him) wavering on" his insistent support for Roe v Wade and abortion on demand. And being endorsed by both the pro-abort Republican Majority for Choice PAC and the homosexual Log Cabin Republicans.
Run conservative principles. Win Congress.
Abandon conservative principles. Lose Congress.
Yep, sounds like the conservatives are to blame, all right.
