The end of the Romney Campaign
World Net Daily ^ | January 29 | Janet Folger

Posted on 01/29/2008 6:40:55 AM PST by no dems

Finally, there is a conservative answer to MoveOn.org: RoeGone.org, as in Roe v. Wade – GONE. Nice, huh? What's even nicer is the ad they're launching to expose Mitt Romney's record. Be looking for secular conservative pundits and compromising pro-lifers to jump the Romney ship soon. No kidding. I predict this thing will signal the end of the Romney campaign.

Unlike the other ads that have been done on Romney that primarily focus on his flip-flops on abortion, marriage, gun control, immigration, taxes, pornography etc., RoeGone.org's ad clearly delineates Romney's record as governor – which is very appropriate since that's exactly what Gov. Romney said we should do. I was there at the debate last week when Romney responded to the flip-flop accusations with the words: "I can point to a very simple way to find out exactly where I stand, and that is look at my record as governor."

Let's do that, shall we?

As governor, Mitt Romney issued an executive order forcing justices of the peace to perform homosexual weddings, or resign. Then he ordered marriage licenses changed to read "party A" and "party B" – instead of "husband" and "wife."

As governor, Romney appointed a board member of the Lesbian and Gay Bar Association to the bench, and appointed more Democrat judges than Republicans.

As governor, Romney authored and signed a mandatory heath insurance plan backed by Ted Kennedy – including taxpayer-funded abortion on demand.

As governor, Romney overruled his own health department and forced Catholic hospitals to distribute the morning after abortion pill.

Homosexual marriage?

Tax-funded abortions?

Catholic hospital morning after pills?

Homosexual activist judges?

"Look at my record as governor."

Go Mitt. McCain attracting Dems and liberal independents in the primaries only. In the general election they will flock back to the Democrat nest.

“I’d take Romney over McCain, no contest. Thanks for playing.”

I’m coming to the conclusion a Dem would be preferable to McCain.

Have you noticed that the media dropped the “tier” measurement of candidates?

Oh yeah...once the only conservative in the race bowed out, there was no longer a need to differentiate. Heck, Paul is now a top tier guy, I guess. ;*)

Have no fear, the party faithfull will again find themselves above blame.

Indubitably!

Giuliani Hints Loss In Fla. May End Run

FORT MYERS, Fla., Jan. 29, 2008(AP) Rudy Giuliani, having bet almost his entire presidential campaign on Florida, hinted for the first time that he may drop out if he doesn’t win the state’s primary but insisted anew Tuesday that he intends to win.

“I expect to win it,” he said. “You don’t contemplate losing it. That isn’t something you do on the day of a primary.”

Polls show the former New York mayor, last year’s national front-runner, trailing badly in the state where he has poured most of his time and energy in his pursuit of the Republican presidential nomination. If he wins Florida, he will have earned the biggest, brashest “I told you so” of his political career.

Lose, and Giuliani may be uttering his final words of the campaign.

“Wednesday morning, we’ll make a decision,” he told reporters between campaign appearances Monday. “The winner of Florida will win the nomination; we’re going to win Florida.”

Pressed to elaborate on that remark during morning TV appearances Tuesday, Giuliani declined to go further.

“We are going to win,” he insisted. “Of course if you don’t win you figure out another strategy”

Just last week, he insisted that no matter what the outcome in Florida he would continue running.

“In the past, I’ve done the impossible - things that people thought were impossible,” he told supporters at a rally Monday. He was talking about immigration policy at the time, but he might as well have been discussing how to resuscitate his presidential campaign.

In an unconventional move, Giuliani largely bypassed the early voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire, Michigan and South Carolina, pinning his hopes on a fractured field and the prospect that his moderate GOP record would attract support in the delegate-rich states of Florida, New York, California and Illinois.

Florida has been less than hospitable. Surveys show rivals Mitt Romney and John McCain fighting for the lead, and the state’s top two Republicans - Sen. Mel Martinez and Gov. Charlie Crist - endorsed McCain.

Giuliani was the early favorite among Republicans last year, due to his larger-than-life role leading New York after the Sept. 11 attacks. But his early lead evaporated and he finished sixth in Iowa, fourth in New Hampshire.

He has settled on an all-or-nothing Florida strategy, and if he cannot pull off the upset, he will have scant support or resources left to compete with McCain or Romney in next week’s 20-plus primaries and caucuses.

His poll-opening remarks Tuesday came on NBC’s “Today” and ABC’s “Good Morning America.”

Could it be that Romeny’s a personally nice guy?

Nice guys get a pass on the law? Why that's mighty libertarian of you.

Abortion and the 2nd amendment are not "on the table" for me. Romney has taken a position now of support and I will give him that chance. I am sorry I am put in a position to have to give such an individual that chance on so important a position...I had preferred not. But I do not see McCain, Huckabee, or Rudy as better...I see them as even worse.

As to Keys, I respect greatly his positions and his oratory skills. I have worked within his campaign in the past, and sadly know that his abilities to manage and choose a team to surround himself with are severally lacking IMHO.

My chance to vote will come much later here in Idaho. We will see what that time frame brings. But for now, his candidadcy, sadly, is not viable and at this point will support Romney in the GOP in an effort to buy time and stave off a DNC disaster.

Back to the 2nd amendment, I do not agree with Bush's stance on the 2nd amendment and the AWB...but he is still a far sight better than Kerry would have been. In this instance, with Romney, that's what this election is coming down to. I am sorry, disgusted, and disdain the fact that it is so...yet it is.

At this point I will get behind the candidate that will buy the most time...but will not vote for any candidate that openly supports abortion, whatsoever, or advocates gun registration. Mit does not do those things...if he changes and openly does, he will lose my (admittedly relcutacnt) support.

Anyhow...it is a sad day for our nation and we are each left with making the best of it that we can in the hopes of winning through to a better day.

With that...I have expressed my views and the sad reasons for them as have each of you. I understand and respect your views and the reasons for them...even if not in complete agreement with them.

I know this...God in Heaven will continue to bless America so long as there is any faithful remnant who honestly follow Him out of the conviction of their hearts, and try to make their choices and lead their lives accrodingly. With that thought, and knowing that there are yet tens of millions who do just that, although I regret the current circumstance, I know that we can yet win through to a better condition in the furutre and will continue working to do just that.

What do you think a “warning” is?

Right. Ignore what matters and affects everybody: Romney’s record. Then don’t complain when McCain’s the nominee.

Thanks AuntB! Good to see you. We are also getting dumped on here....probably the same system only a few hours later.

I am sorry we are all placed in the position we are to pick 3rd choices for candidates. I have decided (and it's not been an easy decision) to support Romney as the one most likely to buy us time, to defeat Hillary or Obama, and to maybe hold true to his new-found conservative positions.

I do not like it...but I view him as better and more viable than Huckabee, McCain, or rudy.

Keep the faith, and God's best and blessings to you.

My apologies... I mistyped. I know that Mr. Paul is not a socialist but a libertarian. His policy of isolationism and tax proposals would bankrupt this country if they went anywhere at all. All of congress would be hostile towards him and any of the stances he currently has would go absolutely nowhere. Except for immediate withdraw of troops from Iraq, that would get passed and be a disaster for the US. So maybe socialist is the wrong word, maybe coward is as well. Fool? that works, I can think of several other descriptors that would get me banned from this forum so I won’t go there. Needless to say Mr. Paul will not receive my vote, but I will respect your choice, and your right to cast your ballot. So I will ask your forgiveness for assigning the wrong adjective to Mr.Paul (the Fool)

distortions taken out of context, for the most part. The gay marriage issue was the law. He really didn’t have much of a choice. He did not aggree with it and tried to fight it. One could say not strongly enough, but the author is playing with the facts. The man had to do good in an extremely liberal state, for God’s sakes. As president, he will have the backing of the nations conservatives...alot more than he had in Mass.

You're lying to yourself.

A) He still supports banning "scary" guns.

B) He does NOT support the Reagan pro-life platform, which recognizes the personhood of the unborn, and their protection by the Fourteenth Amendment. This is clearly demonstrated by his belief that states' rights trump unalienable rights, that if a state wants to butcher babies they can, and by his statement that its okay to kill and experiment on human beings who are still at the embryonic stage in THEIR life.

I will not only vote for Mitt, I will campaign for him. I would vote for McCain but I would not lift a finger to help him get elected. It might be moot here in California, but hey, it’s the principle of the thing.

"You're lying to yourself"

That's a very sharp two-edged sword. I am not lying to myself in the least...we just disagree about Romney. To take the dialog and conversation down to that level is not only unproductive...it is insulting so I will not go there. I do not believe you are lying to yourself, even if we disagree on the issue of Romney.

I pray God's best to you and to our Republic. My own history and involvement in the past on these issues speak for itself. It is unfortunate that we as a people are placed in such circumstances...but we are. Each has to make the best of that according to their own intellect, their own conscience, and based on their best, sincere efforts. That's what I am doing and expect you are doing the same.

No need to harp on or press the issue any longer, we have both stated our opinions clealry and others will have to decide for themselves.

I can’t believe that ANYBODY in California will seriously vote for John McCain when California has such a profound problem with illegal immigration for several decades now and counting!

As I used to say when my kids were younger and they tried to pull an obvious fast one on us......it’s not that they tried to do it that hurts, it’s that they thought we were stupid enough to fall for it.

Jeff, please read post #42 very carefully, not skipping any of the paragraphs. Mitt Romney is not pro-life, just pro-Mitt. He has taken whatever stance he perceives at the moment is what is expected. That is not a man of principles, it is a man whose principle is promoting himself at whatever cost, including embryonic aged humans.
