Mitt Romney backs GOP Stimulus Detractors with PAC Money
LA Times ^ | February 24, 2009 | Staff

Posted on 02/25/2009 6:52:18 AM PST by BarnacleCenturion

Today, as ABC's perceptive Rick Klein notes, Romney's PAC -- Free and Strong America -- donated $1,000 each to 11 Republican congressmen targeted in a retaliatory ad campaign by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee for voting against President Obama's economic stimulus bill. Romney praised the Republicans as "standing up for fiscal responsibility and saying no to spending abuse."

That kind of looks like Jackie Leavitt in front of Mitt.

I’m not a “you people”. I’m not shoving anything anywhere. I simply do not like Republicans beating on other Republicans. The frigging Democrats have plenty for us to beat on them about.

The Church’s position is clear.
___________________________________________

The “church” is the members...

I can only go by what the members do and not what is written on a piece of paper...

The Bible has scripture that tells us God’s position is righteousness and virtue...

and yet the mormons practiced adultery as a doctrine...

I thought you liked Sarah Palin?

She was a Romney supporter in the primaries. So much for her judgment, right? /sarc

Who asked you to support Romney? Why not just leave him alone and stop beating him up? You don’t get my point AT ALL.

If you want to weed out the good old boys I’d say Romney is about 287th on your list. He is the least of your worries right now and he is raising money for us.

Right, so I challenge you do so the same thing. Find me a list of Mormons who were encouraged at all by their clergy to get an abortion.

This should be easy for you, since you think the church is pro abortion.

the “11th commandment” was used by the Republican Party of CA in 1966 when Reagan was running for Gov. It was used to get the moderates off the back of conservatives (goldwater was getting a beating),

The ring leader “moderate” was George Romney...

He supported Johnson...

If Romney has questionable conservative credentials - it is improbable that he will be a leader or nominee for President - but he can raise money and he has a HUGE following in the Mormom community.

IF?

IF??

IF??!!

Are these the SAME MORMONS who supported Harry Reid in NEVADA??

The ones who voted for his RELIGION or his POLITICS?

“Old, yes, it’s been covered here on FR many times. Have you even watched the whole thing?”


You don’t even read the posts to you, anything from the primary is not “old”.

If you read all my references to the video being constantly pulled and my even mentioning it’s full 20 minutes, I think 22 minutes in some versions, you could have figured out that I had seen the full version.

Notice what comes out of him once the microphone is turned off. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5sXcdiL1wE

Romney will either tow the line or fall off.

(It's TOE the line)

Well, when the Republicans are flaming leftists, we have to step up and complain. And when they are flaming leftists who pretend to be ‘conservative’ just to run for president, then those complaints need to be loud.

If Hillary switched over to the Republican party would we support her and her policies? Would we believe that she had changed her positions on every issue that she had passionately advocated for her entire career? The idea is laughable.

Romney is no different. His father was a liberal Republican. His mother was a liberal Republican. He ran for the Senate as a liberal Republican. He ran for governor as a liberal Republican. Once elected, he was a liberal Republican until he started running for 2008, at which point, he put on a laughable ‘conservative’ veneer.

Supporting Romney is no different than the idiots who thought Obama would ‘govern from the center’. It’s foolish.

Yes, I’ve seen it, several times. Doesn’t help your case.

Amen.

When “you people” is used I stop the conversation. It is verbiage of the left and meant to aggitate the situation and devalue someone’s point. Last time it was used against me was in an abortion debate, my pro-choice friend told me “you people are always trying to shove your morals down others throats.” Hmmm, very curious.
