Reaganesque.
he now has my full attention
I agree with this.
When he gets the backbone to say, “The United States should tear up our UN membership card and remove the communist organization from US soil immediately.”, that is the day that I will make a large contribution and very likely vote for the man. Until then, no chance.
If he means it, there is no way to know for sure.
When I opened this thread, I was excited that finally, there was a reason to support someone. Alas, the headline is misleading. He is proposing to withdraw only from the Human Rights Commission, which we have been boycotting for years anyway.
Had he said the UN, the Romney stickers would have gone up on my car this afternoon.
While not anti-Romney, this appears to be his postitioning as the opposite of Rudy. He has constantly moved to the conservative points has he developed his run. It keeps Thompson from marginalizing him.
As long as he looks better on the tube than Fred, he figures he is the choice instead of Rudy.
Sure, if it’s in the GOP platform & Romney endorses:
`right to life’; 2nd Amend. upheld; an attorney general strong on border security/enforcement/deportation; and a US quitclaim deed to UN security council, plus an appropriate rent, no more diplo. immunity; property tax bills, etc.
That’s a good start. You know those things won’t be on the dhimmis’ wish list.
Conventions will be over by this time and we’ll be looking the election in the eye a year from now. To put it crudely, we’re nearing the short-strokes. Times drawing short to `get biddy’ with a conservative candidate who can win, and saying these things—saved by the pajamadheen for later re-play.
Is Romney the One? Gee, he’s a little desultory as a conservative, but I’m no Morpheus.
I’d vote for Aaron Burr if you dug him up and he signed on to:
`right to life’; 2nd Amend. upheld; an attorney general strong on border security/enforcement/deportation; and a US quitclaim deed to UN security council, plus an appropriate rent, no more diplo. immunity; property tax bills, etc.
Since 10/24/1945, to be precise.
Ron Paul has been consistent on the idea that the US transferring decisions to world bodies is UnConstitutional.
And he also is right about going to the UN for a “Mother May I” before going into Iraq or Afghanistan is Extra Consitutional.
Mitt is taking a few small steps, I’ll give him that much.
This could make me support him if he is nominated.
The UN is a morally banrupt association of corrupt third world dictators bankrolled by the American Taxpayer.
Its past time we roll up the carpet, kick them in the butt and throw their parasitic, arrogant, socfflaw and criminal “diplomats” in their weird costumes out of America.
Pander (verb) - The only way to slag the best candidate when they advocate positions you like.
Although he is not my top choice, he is a great improvement over Rudy & Hillary.
Romney states the obvious.
Good for Mitt! The UN is a useless, impotent debating society and nothing else. Some will make the argument that at least the nations talking is better than them not talking. Fair enough.
Here in South Carolina we have Sen Graham and DeMint.Graham is a sorry McCainiac and DeMint a hard core conservative (he is currently trying to keep our taxes from funding some hippie farce of a museum “honoring” the 1969 commie rally called “Woodstock”).
Both Ann Coulter and Jim DeMint like Mitt.It will take a darn clever Freeper to convince me to support someone else.
Remember,South Carolina primary voters now pick the next president—Iowa and NH are supperflous.
I could go for that!
