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.”

Another dhimmi dummie. We never hear from these folks when a cross is doused in urine or when Jesus is depicted as a homo.
DeMint was a mere piker in his praise for Flip, compared to the grotesque display of worship Palin has continually given to McAmnesty.
Palin and McCain ran together on the presidential ticket just before he had to run for reelection to his Senate seat, they definitely have a relationship and will throughout history as heads of the GOP ticket against Obama.
DeMint was such an admirer of the one term Governor Mitt Romney, that he helped to convince Romney to run in 2008, DeMint signed up as a Senior Adviser to Mitt’s Exploratory Committee and his campaign, some of us know that Romney’s entrance into the 2008 race killed the field for more conservative candidates.
Romney just finished another fund raiser for DeMint I believe, the Romney/DeMint ticket would be vastly more intimate and more of a union of old political partners, than the ticket in 2008.
Seeing them together we can finally see Romney as Demint sees him, ‘Rommey lights up a room like Reagan’
That’s damn near as bad as lying to the crowds and telling the tea partiers that McCain is one of us. At least DeMint has had the good sense since to distance himself from Flipper. Sarah is still stuck up McCain’s rear, last I heard.
What are the true principles of our Republic?
I thought they included religious freedom?
And as I've told you and others before, I don't tolerate people stretching the truth to suit their needs/wants/causes and religious bigotry.
So, in other words, it's okay if Sarah Palin says not to burn the Quran but not okay if Mitt Romney says the same thing?
I thought Flipper as you call him just did another fund raiser for Demint.
The real question is this: is publicly burning the Koran legal?
We already know it’s legal to burn flags and Bibles.
Do you feel better now?
I thought that I explained to you why I don’t want a specific person posting on threads. I even posted examples of his extremism.
I only surround myself with good and reasonable people.
I’m sorry that you still don’t understand after my explanation and posting examples.
Something that you seem to be confusing is a past Presidential election and the follow up Senate re election, with a future presidential ticket.
It is time to start talking in real time about the future of Mitt Romney's and Jim DeMint's relationship and very real possibility of a combined ticket.
Lol, these aren't private threads, anyone can post.

Dear Fellow Republican,
I’m writing to ask for your support of Governor Mitt Romney for President. Over the next 10 years, America will face unprecedented challenges. We must elect a President in 2008 who is up to the task, and I need you to encourage Mitt to run.
The threat of terrorism will continue to grow. America’s energy needs will increase, and so will our dependence on foreign oil. The number of retirees will increase dramatically, and without major reforms, the future of Social Security and Medicare will be in peril. Without strong leadership, illegal immigration will continue to cost American taxpayers billions of dollars. America’s education system and global competitiveness will continue to decline without major changes. I believe Governor Romney will provide the leadership America needs to meet this new generation of challenges.
America’s success and strength emanate from the private sector: traditional faith-based values, families, churches, volunteerism and free enterprise. We must elect a President who understands the strength of America. Governor Romney has spent most of his life outside of government. He has been a successful businessman and national leader. As governor, he has taken Massachusetts from large debts to surpluses while holding the line on taxes. He has been married to his wife Ann for 37 years; they have 5 boys and 10 grandchildren. Their lives reflect the best of America’s traditions and values.
Governor Romney has helped to start and manage national and international companies. He understands the global economy, capital formation and the need to make America more competitive. When the nation needed him to save the failing and bankrupt 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics, Mitt Romney volunteered to take over the leadership of an event which was headed towards a national embarrassment. He served for over two years with no salary and even contributed Senator Jim DeMint $1 million of his own money to make sure the Olympics went forward. His leadership resulted in one of the most successful Olympics in history. Mitt Romney made America proud.
As Governor he faced down a $3 billion deficit and balanced the budget. He passed innovative health care reforms and education scholarships based on achievement. He fought an activist state court that imposed same-sex marriage on the people of his state and he championed the Federal Marriage Amendment. Once again, he did not take a salary for his public service as Governor.
We need a President who will welcome new ideas and yet knows when to take charge – someone who will call on America’s strengths and provide leadership for the new generation of challenges we face. I believe Governor Romney will be the kind of President who will inspire Americans to reach higher because he shares our goals:
American Security
Governor Romney has innovative ideas about how to adapt our military, Special Forces, intelligence services, and defense technologies to protect America from future terrorist attacks. He believes in peace through strength. He also supports the right of law-abiding individuals to protect themselves in their homes; he will be a strong defender of the second amendment and will protect our right to “bear arms.”
I support Governor Romney because he believes we need to achieve operational control of America’s borders, issue fraud-proof worker identification cards, and implement an enforceable legal immigration system. He does not believe that people who come to the U.S. illegally are entitled to a special right to citizenship.
American Competitiveness
We must guarantee that America is the best place in the world to invest capital and operate a business. I support Governor Romney because he will make America’s education and workforce development system the best in the world. He understands that by streamlining our tax code and legal and regulatory systems, America will become the best place in the world to do business.
American Independence
America should not be dependent on unreliable countries for our energy needs. I support Governor Romney because he believes we need to make America independent of foreign sources of oil. We must protect our freedom by taking our resources out of the hands of hostile regimes and using them instead to build our economy at home. Through conservation and the development of alternative fuels, America can be independent of oil from the Middle East, Venezuela, and other unreliable suppliers.
American Values
Governor Romney has exemplified the moral leadership that must be the hallmark of an American President. He knows that traditional values begin with doing the right thing; saying what you mean and meaning what you say; and keeping your promises. He strongly believes that America must keep its promises to seniors before we make new promises that we can’t afford. Governor Romney has the vision and the courage to reform Social Security and Medicare for the next generation while guaranteeing promised benefits to today’s seniors. He knows that doing the right thing means that every American must have access to quality healthcare. He passed such a plan as Governor and would support other innovative state and federal solutions, rejecting an unworkable “one-size-fits-all” approach. I support Governor Romney because he believes all Americans should have a health plan that they can afford, own and keep.
Governor Romney is strongly pro-life. He will be a great asset to the cause of life because he has done something that we must convince many other Americans to do; he has changed his mind. After reviewing new scientific data, he is absolutely convinced that human life begins at conception. He will work to protect the lives of mothers and babies. He will also support promising adult stem cell research while maintaining the ban on federal funding of research that involves the killing of human embryos.
Governor Romney is opposed to same-sex marriages and civil unions. He supports a Federal Marriage Amendment that protects traditional marriage. He believes in the equal rights of every American, but does not believe activist judges should be making the law in these areas. He also rejects government promotion of the homosexual lifestyle.
Governor Romney believes that American values should include the end of wasteful government spending and the elimination of the huge debts that our children should not be forced to pay. He also believes that preserving our environment is an important American value and a tangible legacy for future generations.
I believe that Governor Romney can restore America’s leadership at home and around the world. Too often, career politicians who have spent their lives in government, turn first to government solutions. And too often, well-intentioned government solutions have only made our problems worse. As a leader who has spent most of his life in the private sector, Governor Romney will call on America’s strength and character to solve problems and secure our future.
I Need Your Help! Governor Romney has organized an exploratory committee to promote his vision and goals for America and to gauge support for his potential candidacy. I believe that he is exactly the leader America needs to secure our future. Americans are tired of the same old ideas that keep coming out of Washington. They are hungry for a leader who will draw on America’s strength. I would like Governor Romney to know that key Republicans like you want him to run for President. If you agree with me, please use the enclosed replycard to let me know. I will personally hand deliver all of these cards to Governor Romney.
Sincerely, Jim DeMint
Poor pissant can't face the fact his obsession du jour is an out and out RINO lover.
Any ticket with Romney on it is a big HELL NO. And that includes any combination of Palin/Romney, DeMint/Romney, etc.
GOP_Lady (RomneyBOT): I was born on the first day of Leo,
and lions are leaders, fighters and protectors"
Talk all you want. Last thing DeMint said on the subject was he did not know if he would be supporting Romney. Which in political speak means he ain’t gonna. But keep talking about it, by all means. DeMint is so far superior to Precious that its laughable.

“I support his (McCain’s) position on immigration”.
Embrace your inner amnesty queen, toots.
Exactly, in political speak that means, it is too early to endorse him, no one announces their presidential run, or their presidential endorsements prematurely.
