Presumed GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney came out Wednesday against the planned burning of the Quran by a Florida pastor, saying that doing so would endanger American troops.

“Burning the Quran is wrong on every level,” the former Massachusetts governor said in a statement to POLITICO. “It puts troops in danger, and it violates a founding principle of our republic.”

I hear you.

Willard Romney (Shapeshifter, Carpetbagging to your state):
"Burning the Quran is wrong on every level
... because they enslave women and attack the West."

---

"The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong
to some man as his absolute property - either as a child,
a wife, or a concubine - must delay the final extinction of slavery
until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men."
[Winston Churchill, 1899, "The River War"]

“Romney praises Obama again
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney praised President Obama
at a GOP fundraising dinner Wednesday ..
"I also think it's important for us to nod to the president when he's right," Romney said....
Romney, who spoke at a dinner for the National Republican Senatorial Committee,
said he's pleased with the president's plans to "finish the job" in Iraq and Afghanistan
-- lines that drew applause from the partisan audience. He also applauded the president
for standing up to the auto industry.
"I hope he continues to be tough ....The former businessman even offered faint praise for
Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, saying that after a series of initial missteps,
"I think he's finally getting close to the right answer."

Its beginning to look like Dove Outreach not only exposed Islamic Terrorist extremists....but also how many are supported by Americans....even ones posting on FR

The Surrender Monkeys are getting a little more scarier than the Islamic Terrorists.....Let Dove burn those Korans...if they end up not doing so....the Islamic Terrorists will claim this as a victory

[Tennessee Nana]

RINO Romney, the king of Kumbyah and kiss the Koran

[Osage Orange]

And kill the GOP...

Great!!

[Osage Orange]

Ha!!

[CharlesWayneCT]

Maybe because he agrees with Sarah Palin. Again.

[Waryone]

“Romney threw in a bunch of mumbo jumbo about “founding principles” that are totally irrelevant.”

I’m sure he only threw that in there to try to get TEA Party members to believe he’s a real patriot.

Since Romney said, “...it violates a founding principle of our republic,” I wish he had mentioned which founding principle he thinks it violates.

[Osage Orange]

GET OFF MY THREAD!!!!

[Finny]

Romney pontificates: "Burning the Koran ... violates a founding principle of our republic.”

Huh? Wha ....?

It's not only "irrelevant" as you noted, Mariner, but it's plain, pure hokum.

GOP Margaret (for readers and lurkers, I refer to "Margaret" in Dennis the Menace; GOP_"Lady" is no lady but she's an awful lot like the bossy Margaret in the famous comic strip), for Romney to say that burning a Koran "violates a founding principle of our republic" is a clear demonstration of the man's ignorance of -- and/or pure contempt for -- the true principles of our Republic.

[Osage Orange]

Get off my THREAD!!

I know all..

I am called!!

[Tennessee Nana]

Thats a British phrase..

[Tennessee Nana]

Romney, definitely not a free speech advocate. I never heard him complain about the Islamic destruction of bibles.

Has Romney ever said that Christians burnt to death in their churches by the Islamics is a just wee bit insensitive ???

Mitt Romney did not even want a Muslim in his cabinet.

[ansel12]

Romney/Palin 2012!

Because of the great depth of their relationship and affection for each other, a Romney/DeMint ticket is a real life likelihood.

[Diogenesis]

Mitt Romney is the HERPES of politics.

And that is when he is not backstabbing or sore-losing.

[HighlyOpinionated]

The Koran teaches hate, stoning, beheading, sodomy, rape, etc. The Bible teaches love, compassion, praying for ones enemies, the sanctity of marriage, etc. A REAL Christian would work to convert Muslims . . . except that Muslims who are converted are murdered by Muslims and those same Muslims then murder the Christians who convert Muslims. WHERE does this happen in Judeo-Christian society?

The Koran teaches that Islam MUST take over the entire world and be dominant. WHERE in the Bible do you find the equivalent of Sura [9.29] Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.

[pissant]

That would almost be as horrific as McCain/McPalin

[ansel12]

The thing is that a Romney/DeMint team is very likely given their political teamwork and shared history, and DeMints deep respect of Mitt Romney.

[Doulos1]

Maybe they should throw the Golden Tablets on the pyre when the korans are good and hot.
