CBN News ^ | 11/5/2007 | David Brody

Posted on 11/05/2007 1:17:00 PM PST by Bosco

This is a big one folks. In a Brody File exclusive, we've found out that Paul Weyrich, the former co-founder of The Moral Majority has endorsed Mitt Romney for President. The Brody File has the press release. Read below:

Today, Paul Weyrich, Chairman and CEO of the Free Congress Research and Education Foundation, announced his support for Governor Mitt Romney and his campaign to be our country's next President. Paul Weyrich is one of the premier leaders in the conservative movement, having founded the Heritage Foundation and the American Legislative Exchange Council.

"As he travels across the country, Governor Romney has outlined a blueprint to build a stronger America rooted in our common conservative principles. With a clear conservative vision to move America forward, he will strengthen our economy, our military and our families. More importantly, he already has an exceptional record of putting conservative values to work. Because of his experience, vision and values, I am proud to support Governor Romney," said Paul Weyrich.

With today's announcement, Governor Romney said, "Paul Weyrich has put his stamp on the conservative movement in this country. It is an honor to have his support and counsel. Through our efforts, we can work to ensure that Washington always stands on the side of building stronger American families."

Every time, like automatons, one or more Willard fans post this Michael Reagan passage, but it doesn’t apply.

Nowhere does Michael Reagan say Ronald Reagan was “adamantly pro-choice” because it’s a LIE.

Why can’t Willard apologize for lying about Ronald Reagan’s pro-life credentials?

“Adamantly” is Willard’s word choice, and he was lying.

As for your “Reagan was pro-choice get over it” BS, well, I leave it to Reagan Man to put the truth on the record. Every time the Romney Sleaze Machine tries to elevate Slick Willard by stomping on the reputation of Ronald Reagan, my friend Reagan Man steps up and straightens out the record.

You people sure can’t stand the truth. You act more like the posters over at DU. The truth is, Reagan was pro choice at one time.

Nothing can stand in the way of Willard’s Ascent to Power, not even the reputation of a great conservative like Ronald Reagan.

Reagan was a great conservative....no one is arguing that. He was also liberal before he was conservative and pro choice before he was pro life.

Are you part of Willard’s Secret Police? Did he issue you a phony badge?

Aw, you mean you're not important enough to be invited to join Willard's Schutzstaffeln?

Keep trying, maybe he'll notice you. Maybe he'll let you touch the hem of his garment!

That's a nice photo of Mitt really. I was getting tired of the same old Mittpix here. He's a glamourous guy, well-groomed, well-dressed so you should get a lot of good pix of him.

As for the endorsement, Weyrich still has considerable sway, especially with some of the older GOP activist crowd who still loves him. This endorsement is as big as the Bob Jones one last week which is a regional endorsement. These two endorsements make a good start at neutralizing the Values Voter push for Huckabee.

Are those the real truths or the fake ones?

True.

I saw the announcement and posted it.

Weyrich can endorse who he likes, and he did.

Only because they prove that RomneyTHErino could not even beat the Breckgirl.

Where's the fruit?

How about Mitt's own family?

You have problems with that?

Mitt exemplifies the vesy best in conservative values in his personal life and family--where it counts most.

Snide, uninformed fulminations such as yours don't change that.

Another major social conservative leader supports Mitt Romney. There’s a pattern here. Could it be that Romney actually is a conservative and that he is the best positioned candidate (money, experience, organization, energy, appeal) to overtake Giuliani and to win the General Election?

While I am endorsing no candidate as of yet (check my tagline) there is only one way that I can seriously assess candidates: whether they followed promises given during a campaign once they entered elective office. Not whether I agreed with their positions of the time because those can change.

As far as Romney goes, he made certain campaign promises in '94 that many of us disagree with but didn't get elected so we have no actual bills to compare. We then have the promises he made when running for governor a decade later followed by his actual actions, bills, vetos ie. a verifiable actual record. From what I saw he followed his word.

So now we have a presidential campaign full of promises, some that differ from statements, positions of previous. For me it is fair to say that even if Romney is stating positions that some may say is convenient to the conservative agenda he has shown that he knows who elected him and knows how to follow through on promises. I can live with that.

I'm sure many will disagree but all I know is I DO NOT want a Hillary presidency. I can't expect from those running any ideological purity-just whether any particular candidate shows through action that they remember who put them in office.

I think if Fred Thompson had endorsed the Human Life Amendment and Federal Marriage Amendment, he’d be taking off right now. But his refusal has made social conservatives wary and that could ultimately be the demise of his campaign.

I don’t think he tricked anybody in Massachusetts. They got just the liberal they expected to get.
