... I shudder at the level some so called Evangelicals & 'Christian groups' have stooped to give this man....Romney... their endorsement.
May God have mercy on their souls.....God will deal with them.
Indeed. Sometimes it appears as though people quickly forget, are slow to learn or don’t really learn from studying even recent history.
They hear what they want to hear and make excuses for the rest.
At long last, I know how to prnounce poop!
Go Mitt!
That’s utter NONSENSE.
I am grateful right now that I live in California, because on election day in November, my vote will not make a bit of difference in the outcome of the presidential race.
Despite my protestations, I am going to find it difficult and maybe impossible to vote for John McCain.
So, I am turning my mind toward the End Times and wishing I had made the cut for the Rapture, like kattracks and GretchenM did.
God forgives, and so I can, too.
If the man’s change of heart has been genuine, and it may have been given the circumstances, then he can receive mercy just as all of us, with all our sins on our souls, can.
It may not matter now whether you forgive him, too. We were given an eight year reprieve from the End Times due to all the prayers in 2000, but that may be drawing to a close.
I cannot vote for John either. If John gets the nomination he will so damaged he party that the party leadership will have to fix some things. If they don’t they’ll be through as a major party. If they do, they may be able to savage the party.
I’m not holding my breath.
Don’t let this get you down. Things have a funny way of turning around. We’ll see how it goes.
You take care.
In the real world in which we live, we rarely get everything we want. Romney, not my first choice, seems to be the leader I can rally behind. I will do so rather than go home crying.

I second that, FRiend. Hunter was my guy, but he’s not in in it anymore. I cannot see myself voting for McCain.
...none of the candidates on the GOP slate can stand Romney. They hate his guts. Wonder why that is? Could he actually be the dirtbag that everyone who really gets close to him say he is?
&&&
Could it be they are just jealous of Romney?
It is said that about a million babies were killed by abortion because of the pro abortion bill Ronald Reagan signed into law in California when he was governor.
These cheap shots against Mitt Romney are nauseating and totally unfair.
I thought pro lifers were supposed to be about forgiveness. Remember Nathanson?
Mitt Romney said he was wrong. He repented and changed his ways. But the unforgiving spirit and mean judgmentalism on this site really makes me sick.
Mitt Romney is a fine man, just like Ronald Reagan was a fine man. Mercy is better than justice, thank God.
This is how we got Gray Davis as governor of California and this is how we will get Hillary Clinton as president - both pro choice butchers. Useful idiots for the pro aborts with their heads up their rearends voting for Huckabee. A vote for Huckabee is a vote for McCain.
Is God speaking to you to hate and not forgive Mitt Romney? You called him a baby killer. Are you sure?
Mitt Romney is a fine family man and it is absolutely horrible beyond reason to continue to slash and burn his good name.
But God gave you and me a free will (agency). Have at it.
“May God have mercy on their souls.....God will deal with them.”
Exactly.
By saying those horrible anti Christian things about Mitt Romney, you are helping to elect Hillary Clinton who is for partial birth abortion and abortion on demand through all nine months. Did you forget about that? Or don’t you care?
These misrepresentations of then Governor Ronald Reagan are more than unfair, they are despicable. Ronald Reagan never flip-flopped on his position against abortion, unlike Romney, who has and continues his pattern even during this latest attempt to win votes. In your zeal to malign President Reagan, you are leaving out important information and facts, such as the following:
As against the misrepresentations against President Reagan regarding his alleged "change in position" concerning abortion, perhaps you should read Reagan's own words. Here are some from Reagan: A Life In Letters -- Read pages 197-198.
October 11, 1979, Letter to Mr. Robert L. Mauro:
Dear Mr. Mauro:Adamantly pro-choice? Ronald Reagan and abortion in 1967I hope you won't mind my writing you about a recent column of yours suggesting that I might be preparing to abandon my anti-abortion position and that I signed a permissive abortion bill while I was governor. I think there are things I should make plain here.
First, my position is that interrupting a pregnancy means the taking of a human life. In our Judeo-Christian tradition, that can only be done in self-defense. Therefore, I will agree to an abortion only to protect the life of the prospective mother.
Now, with regard to the permissive bill I supposedly signed, let me give you the correct history of what took place early in my term as governor. A bill was introduced that was permissive, indeed abortion on demand. Naturally, there was great controversy about this bill. The author finally sent word that he would amend his bill to anything the governor thought he could sign. Faced with this responsibility, I probably did more study and more soul searching on the subject than I had done on anything in my eight years as governor. I came to the conclusion, as I have already stated, that it could only be justified to save a human life. . . . Perhaps it was my inexperience in government, but like so many pieces of legislation, there were loopholes that I had not seen, and the thing that made the California abortion bill become somewhat permissive in nature was violation of the spirit of the legislation by the very groups who were supposed to police it. This was particularly true in the case of psychiatrists. If faced with the same problem today, I can assure you I would make sure there were no loopholes in the bill. Indeed, I have already written Congressman Hyde telling him of my support for his amendment.
Again, please rest assured there is no way I could or would change my position with regard to my opposition to the permissive abortion that is taking place throughout our land.
Sincerely,
Ronald Reagan
Lawmakers tried to amend the bill in 1970, and Governor Reagan refused: "Who might they be doing away with? Another Lincoln, or Beethoven, an Einstein or an Edison? Who shall play God?"Here is an Abstract of the lawThat was Ronald Reagan when the Therapeutic Abortion Act became law. That was the Ronald Reagan whom Mitt Romney cavalierly calls "adamantly pro-choice." He was not the prescient and decisive crusader for life for which our romantic imaginings might long, but he was with certainty not pro-choice.
: The California Therapeutic Abortion Act of 1967 is submitted to the Subcommittee on Constitutional Amendments, Abortion. An abortion may be performed by a licensed physician, in an accredited hospital, where the abortion is approved in advance by a committee of the medical staff (at least 2 for pregnancies of less than 13 weeks gestation and at least 3 for pregnancies of more than 13 weeks gestation) and where there is substantial risk to the physical and mental health of the mother with continued pregnancy, or the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest. The procedures are outlined for approval of abortion on grounds of rape or incest and involve determining probable cause. Performing and soliciting or submitting to abortion outside of these regulations is subject to imprisonment.Note: Under this law, in no event could a termination of pregnancy be approved after the 20th week of pregnancy.
As concerns judicial appointments, Romney has appointed judges who are not likely to have been on the pro-life side, considering the following:
Romney has by far and away appointed liberals to the bench.
Governor Romney appointed 36 judges but a check of their political affiliation confirms that only 9 of them are Republicans. Two are radical gay activists and 14 are registered Democrats. The remainder are unenrolled. Since Massachusetts Democrats are among the most pro-abortion Democrats in America, we have to assume that the majority of Romney's judicial appointments are NOT pro-life.
The fact remains that about a million babies were killed on Ronald Reagan’s watch and by his own pen. Why do you deny this? We all loved Ronald Reagan. We forgave him. That’s not even up for discussion.
What I’m saying is that the same spirit of forgiveness that was given to Ronald Reagan should be available for Mitt Romney. That’s all. Is that controversial?
Mitt Romney is a fine good family man. He said he was wrong. God is the judge, not you.
my position is that interrupting a pregnancy means the taking of a human life. In our Judeo-Christian tradition, that can only be done in self-defense. Therefore, I will agree to an abortion only to protect the life of the prospective mother.
That is categorically different than being in favor of abortion on demand or pro-choice, as Romney has been, up until this latest flip-flop (again). There is nothing for which to forgive Ronald Reagan except that he was not "prescient" enough to realize that loopholes could be had through snake lawyers. But I see the distinction in intent and purpose here; apparently, those who idolize Romney do not.
It’s because they know he will get things done and clean up mess just like he did with the Olympics.

Good point!
DONATE TO MITT FOR PRES. NOW
WE MUST SEND MITT UP AGAINST HILLARY OR OBAMA.
HE WILL SMOKE UM! IF HE DEBATES THEM.

That happens to be looked over, conveniently.
Its surgar coated socialized medicine.
