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."

The malice displayed by you and others whenever Mitt or the Mormon Church is mentioned on FR is obvious to all. And it is repulsive to normal, thoughtful people.

What do you mean when you demand that Romney, who has been pro-abortion for all his grown up years, all 40 of them...

Suddenly, decides to declare himself pro-life for political expediency.....

And you want to put him as the leader of the whole pro-life movement...

In front of people who have spent the last 40 years fighting against abortion...

IF Romney is in earnest...

And IF Romney really means what he claims..

Then he needs to sit at the back of the bus in a testing time mode...

until his new stance has been proven...

He needs to learn from the ones who have been on the front lines all these years...

and not just think he can barge in and take over ...

That barging in smacks of a lack of repentance and humility...

Its arrogance and non-committal behavior...

It’s a lack of respect and a lack of sincerity...

But getting back to my new stance on medical issues...

Since I am now a whiz at bandaiding...

I have an opening next Tuseday at 10 am for open heart surgery...

What blood type are you ?????

Yawn. Just spreading some chits around to collect later. When you can’t make friends by your principles and leadership ability, trying to buy them works fine.

What did you mean by that? It’s a pretty simple question, really.

You are a liar, and therefore a stain upon the good State of Utah and whatever Church you deadweight.
You are a liar. I have never displayed malice
to any church, Mormon or any other, and you know it.

Your ethics are non-existent, consistent with whatever rock you live under.

NOTA BENE: lady lawyer is attempting to silence FReepers who
have data and information exposing Mitt Romney.

Your “data and information” consist of a little truth, and a whole lot of distortion and lying. Again, your malice is obvious, and it is repulsive.

The founder of Free Republic does not support Romney and he has made that clear. Maybe you should find another forum. Check out the DU.

“I like the photo on your homepage. THAT would have been a great ticket.”

That was my dream ticket a year ago when few people knew who she was but now I`ve moved on to Marsha Blackburn.

First, lady lawyer (Utah TeamROMNEY) is wrong again.

The “data and information” which I posted in #17, #23, #89
#203 and #219 were URLs to valid posts of others. To other people
There was no distortion by me. There was no lying by me. There could not have been.
Thus, lady lawyer is again exposed as a RomneyBOT liar from Utah.

Second, the ONLY malice and hate (which was repulsive) was from ...... lady lawyer.
She has done this on thread after thread, as she discredits herself, Utah, and her associates by her repeat lying.

Yeah. But the founder does not engage in the kind of vileness that shows up on every Romney thread. Political disagreement is one thing. The kind of stuff posted by the “usual suspects,” and the personal attacks on anyone who disagrees with them are quite another.

I remember distinctly the surprise and dismay expressed by the National Review editors and other prominent conservatives when this anti-Romney ugliness bubbled up from the depths.

To the extent the malice — not disagreement, but malice — shown against Romney defines conservatives, it give the Left an excuse to define us all as knuckle-dragging bigots.

To the extent the malice shown against Romney defines conservatives, we probably deserve to lose, and we probably will continue to lose.

Your argument echos the liberals who cried racist whenever anyone dared criticize Obama for his liberal policies.

I have no problem with Mitt’s religion. I love that he has one. If Mitt were not so good looking, I argue, we would not even be discussing this as he would have been long over.

If anything, his looks give him an advantage that other RINO republicans do not enjoy.

“CEO in Chief”

He’d be a good one, but the Founders didn’t set that up
as an office under the Constitution...

I have not liked some of Romney’s past positions. For that reason, I did not support him until shortly before he dropped out. But on FR, the truth about his positions hardly ever gets told. Instead, his positions are distorted and lied about. There are people on FR who seem to live just for the opportunity to slam him with vicious lies and distortions. That comes from somewhere other than simple political disagreement. And it is ugly and scary.

It’s not just his looks. He has lived an upright life. He was the only one of the Republicans who had actually lived a “conservative” life. That counts for something.

Only a Romney follower would describe actual video of the candidate and his debates and interviews as distortions and lies.

There is a reason that the conservative movement was never visited by Mitt Romney until he started preparing for the 2008 primary, he was against the conservative movement, that is what is in all of those videos and interviews.

I’m from Massachusetts. It’s hell here and Romney helped. Based on how he ran Massachusetts, I have to pass.
