Fox News ^

Posted on 01/22/2008 11:17:25 AM PST by tpanther

Carl Cameron says it'll become offical sometime later this week.

Oh well, we're doomed. Let's hope it'll be minimal damage until 2012.

Americans want to WIN this war and THEN bring the troops home. Surrendering when the war is 95% won is not a winning strategy.

We have won the war and now it is time to bring our troops home.

The Iraqi's are quite capable of handling their internal terrorist problem without U.S. troops.

So has Fred actually put out a statement or held a news conference? It may well be, but I won’t believe it until I hear it from HIS mouth, or that of his campaign manager. There has been way too much carp thrown at him by the media for me to believe anything they say ABOUT him, or his campaign.

Upstate is surprisingly conservative. I actually feel bad for them, no one should have to put up with NYC picking their representatives.

Romney has selected liberal judges in the past....

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1957771/posts?page=257#257

Father of a Marine: “Who is most likely to give me the conservative judges and justices? Huckabee, not Romney.”

Correct, and Semper Fi.

Especially after Romney’s record of appointing homosexual activists to the court in Mass. Such as Judge Steven Abany in 2005, board member of the Gay and Lesbian Bar Association.

New release from Gov. Romney’s office follows:

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts
Executive Department
State House Boston, MA 02133
(617) 725-4000

MITT ROMNEY
GOVERNOR

KERRY HEALEY
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
May 4, 2005 CONTACT:
Shawn Feddeman
(617) 725-4025

ROMNEY NAMES STEPHEN ABANY TO WRENTHAM DISTRICT COURT

Governor Mitt Romney today nominated Stephen S. Abany of Boston for the position of Associate Justice of the Wrentham District Court.

Since 1979, Abany has worked as the Assistant Clerk-Magistrate of the Quincy District Court. Previously, he served as an Assistant District Attorney for the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office and a Law Clerk to The Honorable George N. Covett of the Brockton District Court.

Abany is a member of numerous legal organizations, including the Massachusetts Bar Association, the Norfolk County Bar Association, and has served on the Board of Directors of the Massachusetts Lesbian and Gay Bar Association.

Abany earned his bachelor’s degree from Boston College in 1971, his master’s degree from University of Massachusetts in 1974 and his law degree from Suffolk University Law School in 1978.

What’s this “it’s not for me” stuff? Of course it’s for me. I’m a VOTER and this is an ELECTION. I’m not his MORAL JUDGE.

As a voter, I deem his “conversion of convenience” too risky to trust.

However, as I’ve said, IF he in the next few weeks announces Santorum, Delay, Hunter, or Thompson as his running mate, then I’ll support him.

That clearly IDs my interest being in promoting a real conservative for the future while going on record as “risking” a liar for the present.

Personally, I’ll be praying and again hoping our country doesn’t suffer too much damage until we get the leadership we need. I’ll trust in the Lord.

Also, there are local elections to participate in!

They aren’t capable just yet, but my hope is they will be sooner rather than later.

A guaranteed way of undoing all our progress is to leave now as hypocrats suggest.

OT: Thought you both might like to see this video from NumbersUSA. Their statistics, I believe, include legal immigration only. The problem we are facing is much bigger than anyone in power will admit, certainly bigger than most of us realize.

Immigration in America

In my opinion, my gut feeling...This entire fiasco seems orchestrated...Like being thrown a bone to temporarily appease.

Without Hunter, and now Thompson gone...Well......

So who are you FOR in the primary now?

McCain voted for Breyer and Ginsburg and in 1990s was FOR Roe v Wade.

Huckabee supported Democrats who ran against Republicans in Arkansas and called anti-tax-increase Republicans Shiites.

Mitt Romney governed fairly conservative for a guy in a deepblue state.

Excellent point! Why is it that whenever a Clinton runs for POTUS the GOP has nothing of substance to vote for??????

“He will endorse McCain.”

McCain will, if nothing else, look out for our National Security, I hope and pray he does!!!

But oh, I wanted Thompson/Hunter!
