Mitt Romney backs GOP Stimulus Detractors with PAC Money

LA Times ^ | February 24, 2009 | Staff

[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."

[Diogenesis]

bethtopaz: "This kind of blind hatred knee-bent following for Romney is harmful to our cause."

There, fixed it for you.

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party
 over to the traitors in the battle just ended.
We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged
 to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support.
Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates
wouldn’t make any sense at all.""
--  President Ronald Reagan

[Elsie]

But, to the extent people like you control the tone of FR, you are only harming it.

It's GOOD to be King!

[Elsie]

 

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.

 

 

Yeah... I just HATE it when that happens!

  17 It no sooner appeared than I found myself delivered from the enemy which held me bound. When the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other—This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!
  18 My object in going to inquire of the Lord was to know which of all the sects was right, that I might know which to join. No sooner, therefore, did I get possession of myself, so as to be able to speak, than I asked the Personages who stood above me in the light, which of all the sects was right (for at this time it had never entered into my heart that all were wrong)—and which I should join.
  19 I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all wrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those professors were all corrupt; that: “they draw near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me, they teach for doctrines the commandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the power thereof.”
  20 He again forbade me to join with any of them; and many other things did he say unto me, which I cannot write at this time. When I came to myself again, I found myself lying on my back, looking up into heaven. When the light had departed, I had no strength; but soon recovering in some degree, I went home. And as I leaned up to the fireplace, mother inquired what the matter was. I replied, “Never mind, all is well—I am well enough off.” I then said to my mother, “I have learned for myself that Presbyterianism is not true.”

[Elsie]

Your “data and information” consist of a little truth, and a whole lot of distortion and lying.

I can see where you are coming from!

[Elsie]

But the founder does not engage in the kind of vileness that shows up on every Romney thread.

Then why don't the MORMONS that show up on them be nicer to fellow Conservatives?

[Elsie]

But on FR, the truth about his positions hardly ever gets told.

Feel free to post away!

[Elsie]

What an insult to Congressman Duncan Hunter...

Bah...

A piker!

JS managed to insult MILLIONS!

[Elsie]

If you follow the anti-Mormon, anti-Mitt threads, you will see a lot of overlap.

If you follow the PRO-Mormon, PRO-Mitt threads, you will see a lot fawning and adoration.

[Elsie]

(At least you don’t have to defend circumcision like us Jews. That’s REALLY weird.)

Defend??

(My only complaint is that pinking shears were not used...)

[Elsie]

“Callings” are not given to people with experience or fitness in the field that has an opening...

And just why SHOULD they???

I defer to the Words of Wisdom from one of a late Prophet:

 

In conclusion let us summarize this grand key, these “Fourteen Fundamentals in Following the Prophet”, for our salvation depends on them.

1. The prophet is the only man who speaks for the Lord in everything.
2. The living prophet is more vital to us than the standard works.
3. The living prophet is more important to us than a dead prophet.
4. The prophet will never lead the church astray.
5. The prophet is not required to have any particular earthly training or credentials to speak on any subject or act on any matter at any time.
6. The prophet does not have to say “Thus Saith the Lord,” to give us scripture.
7. The prophet tells us what we need to know, not always what we want to know.
8. The prophet is not limited by men’s reasoning.
9. The prophet can receive revelation on any matter, temporal or spiritual.
10. The prophet may advise on civic matters.
11. The two groups who have the greatest difficulty in following the prophet are the proud who are learned and the proud who are rich.
12. The prophet will not necessarily be popular with the world or the worldly.
13. The prophet and his counselors make up the First Presidency—the highest quorum in the Church.
14. The prophet and the presidency—the living prophet and the First Presidency—follow them and be blessed—reject them and suffer.

I testify that these fourteen fundamentals in following the living prophet are true. If we want to know how well we stand with the Lord then let us ask ourselves how well we stand with His mortal captain—how close do our lives harmonize with the Lord’s anointed—the living Prophet—President of the Church, and with the Quorum of the First Presidency.

To their everlasting condemnation.

 

 

Must be ROUGH - being a MORMON!

 

NIV Matthew 12:31-32
 31.  And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.
 32.  Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.

 

 

 

[Cathy]

I’m not shocked at your obsession with beating down a man that is doing good for conservatives, because in your world, this is justified.

Good luck with you hatred, your are going to need it.

[Elsie]

Those people will be accountable to God.

HMmmm...

I thought someone ELSE would be who they were accountable to!

They succeeded in killing Joseph, but he had finished his work.

He was a servant of God, and gave us the Book of Mormon.

He said the Bible was right in the main, but, through the translators and others, many precious portions were suppressed, and several other portions were wrongly translated; and now his testimony is in force, for he has sealed it with his blood.

As I have frequently told them, no man in this dispensation will enter the courts of heaven, without the approbation of the Prophet Joseph Smith, Jun.

Who has made this so?

Have I?

Have this people?

Have the world?

No; but the Lord Jehovah has decreed it.

If I ever pass into the heavenly courts, it will be by the consent of the Prophet Joseph.

If you ever pass through the gates into the Holy City, you will do so upon his certificate that you are worthy to pass.

Can you pass without his inspection?

No; neither can any person in this dispensation, which is the dispensation of the fulness of times.

In this generation, and in all the generations that are to come, everyone will have to undergo the scrutiny of this Prophet.

They say that they killed Joseph, and they will yet come with their hats under their arms and bend to him; but what good will it do them, unless they repent?

They can come in a certain way and find favor, but will they?

Does that mean I’m involved in a scandal?

We'll let the Investigators determine that.

[Elsie]

Mormons are SUCH FANTASTIC people. They are better than everybody else, and they tell us often how good they are.

It's time...

MORMON

ATTITUDES OF SUPERIORITY

 

 1. I’m Superior; I have a special gift of the holy Ghost - you don’t!
 2. I’m Superior; I have God’s true priesthood power - you don’t!
 3. I’m Superior; I can go in God’s secret Temple - you can’t!
 4. I’m Superior; I’ve been Endowed with special Gifts and Knowledge - you’re just normal!
 5. I’m Superior; I’ll have my family with me in heaven - you’ll be with strangers!
 6. I’m Superior; I’m becoming a God - you aren’t!
 7. I’m Superior; My women know their place as servants of man and yours don’t.
 8. I’m Superior; YOUR creeds are wrong because they come from man - mine comes from God (you can find each one printed in our Scriptures).
 9. I’m Superior; I don’t HAVE a creed - I’ve got 13 Articles of Faith.
10. I’m Superior; I have four standard works and you only have one — in as far as it is translated correctly.
11. I’m Superior; I can lie with impunity about such things as church membership, church growth, church doctrine, church history, church influence, etc. — and you can’t.
12. I’m Superior; I am right (everybody knows) when I say 'evangelical' Christians are lunatics --

                        -- You’re a hideous narrow-minded bigot, who is persecuting me by practicing discrimination by saying I'm not  a Christian.
13. I’m Superior; I have a Living Prophet who talks to god every day — you have a dim-witted hireling of Satan who only talks to himself.
14. I’m Superior; I have magic underwear to protect me from the bogey man and you don’t.
15. I’m Superior; I have secret clasps and grips to give the angel so I get admitted to the celestial kingdom — you don’t so you can’t.
16. I’m Superior; I will see Joseph Smith setting on the right hand of GOD, when I get to Mormon heaven, and he will recognize me and judge me favorably —

                        -- You’re  on your own; when you get to wherever you’re going!
17. I’m Superior; I’m going to hie to Kolob while you’re going to who knows where.
18. I’m Superior; I get to have a harem and act like a celestial stud for time and all eternity and you don’t.
19. I’m Superior; I have sun stones, moon stones, sky stones, cloud stones, Saturn stones, and the evil eye of Osirus guarding my temple — all you have is a stupid cross.
20. I’m Superior; My church has billions in assets stashed away and yours has taken a stupid vow of poverty.

[Elsie]

Arent you PROUD ????

KJV Mark 12:42-44
42. And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.
43. And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:
44. For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.

[JenB987]

Don’t pretend to know me based on my opinion of one man. That’s shallow and hypocritical on your part.

I don’t believe Romney to be honest, conservative or a leader. That doesn’t make me “obsessed” or hate filled.

Your stooping to childish name calling in the past few posts speaks volumes about your character, not mine.

[Elsie]

People with standards obviously offend you.

 

 

                       Behold!

[Elsie]

Personal attacks are the tactic of someone who has no argument on the merits.

Yeah... We've noticed...

Your na-nanny boo-boo responses were childish, and I see you continue to fit the bill.

You have make some huge leaps and assumptions in your posts, as well as “knowing” Romney is not honest. Do you know him perosnally, or is it just personal?

I can’t recall all the names you called Romney, but if you have the name of an “honest” politician - I think we’d all like to know. He’d be very popular right now.
