see my point?
Romney sure beats Hillary but he’s a Mormon for Chrissakes and “only decided he’s pro-life” a few years ago when he started this run and his wife gave to Planned Parenthood.
I fear that. A Mormon of any conviction doesn't’t need to be 50 years old to reach an epiphany on infanticide.
No way.
I’m Southern Baptist...we are much like Mormons on culture issues. I meet a pro-abortion Southern Baptist, I consider them apostate.
It is our crucible and mine personally along with gun rights, illegals and driving a stake thru the heart of both Islam and political correctness.
“with all due respect, if it’s about being a great businessman then there are plenty of folks who can do that....Soros, Buffett, Gates, Murdoch, Jobs ... see my point?”
No, your point is pointless. It’s like saying you cant vote for a Catholic because Ted kennedy is catholic (supposedly). There are liberal successful businessmen and conservative successful businessmen. It’s time we had more conservative successful businessmen in public service. (we need men like Herman Cain in office).
Let us know if any of these other plutocrats you mention follow Romney on saying thing like this:
“”I think many of us still fail to comprehend the extent of the threat posed by radical Islam, by Jihad. Understandably, we focus on Afghanistan and Iraq. Our men and women are dying there. We think in terms of countries, because we faced countries in last century’s conflicts. But the Jihad is much broader than any one nation or nations. For radical Islam, there is one conflict and one goal – replacing all modern Islamic states with a caliphate, destroying America, and conquering the world.”
“Coming from Massachusetts, I saw first hand the liberal future, and it doesn’t work. That’s why I ran against Ted Kennedy. Liberal social programs weren’t solving poverty; they were in fact creating a culture of poverty. I didn’t win, but at least Teddy had to take out a mortgage on his home to beat me.
I was once campaigning in a poor section in Boston when a person came up to me and said: “What are you doing here? This is Kennedy country.” I looked around at the vacant store fronts and boarded up windows and replied: “Yeah, it looks like Kennedy country.””
“As you know, I’m proud to be the first Presidential candidate to sign Grover Norquist’s tax pledge. But I have another pledge I am making to you today. If I am elected President, I will cap non-defense discretionary spending at inflation minus one percent. That alone will save $300 billion over 10 years. If Congress sends me a budget that exceeds the cap, I will veto that budget. I don’t care if it’s a Republican or Democrat Congress, I will veto that budget.
And I know how to veto. I like vetoes. I vetoed hundreds of spending appropriations as Governor. And, by the way, if Congress doesn’t want to do the cutting itself, then give me the same line item veto I had as governor.
And one more thing, I will personally lead a top to bottom review of government programs, agencies, procurement and spending. It’s time to cut out the mountains of waste and inefficiency and duplication in the federal government. I’ve done that in business, I’ve done that in the Olympics, and I’ve done that in Massachusetts. And boy, I can’t wait to get my hands on Washington.”

Romney is for the FMA and against gay marriage. Leaving aside his conversion timing on becoming pro-life, he has also acted and been prolife as Governor. So yes, if you find some other billionaire adopting these positions, we need to know and get that person running of US Senate or Governor.
