Uh oh: Romney refuses to sign pro-life group’s pledge
hot air ^ | 6/17/11 | Allahpundit

Posted on 06/17/2011 6:08:58 PM PDT by Nachum

Doubling down on RomneyCare, confirming that he believes in climate change, now this. Say this for him: At least he’s not a total pander machine this time around. He just … seems to be in the grip of a political death wish. I can’t even explain this in terms of him wanting to stick by a position he espoused in the past in order to signal to voters that he’s “authentic” and won’t bend on his principles easily. His position, ostensibly, is that he’s pro-life. This makes him look like he’s inching back towards his pro-choice past. Is he in fact pandering to centrists here, with an eye already towards the general election, or what?

Coming soon from Pawlenty, presumably: A nasty tweet ripping Mitt for forever flip-flopping on abortion, followed by a whole lot of stammering at the next debate. Bachmann, however, just might lay him out.

The [Susan B. Anthony List] pledge also states that a candidate will, if elected president, nominate pro-life persons to “relevant Cabinet and Executive Branch positions, in particular the head of National Institutes of Health, the Department of Health & Human Services, and the Department of Justice.” Such a provision, Saul said, would restrict Romney’s ability to choose his Cabinet.

I want you folks who only want Sarah to please take another look at Michele Bachmann.

She stabbed Sarah in the back not two weeks ago, and STILL has not apologized or fired her slimy attack dog, Ed Rollins for his slander.

NO.

What does the phrase “pro-life” in the pledge mean? Does it mean no abortion to save the life of the mother? If so, how is it “pro-life” as regards that mother? Does it allow for abortion in the case of rape?

Bachmann is FAR more electable vs. Obama, IMHO, than Palin.

Do you now?

I'll vote for Mitt Romney.

Sure.

I'll vote for him as soon as he fully explains how a mormon can run as a GOP Conservative in a Christian Nation.

I'll vote for Willard the flip-flopper as soon as he fully explains how Joe Smith is anything more than a low-life criminal fake-propheteeer.

Sure.

I'll vote for suede shoe boy Romney as soon as he gives honest feedback on:

THIS. Simple.

Anyone wondering about the mormon cult should click this. .

In my opinion, Romney can take his Socialist RomneyCare, his RINO support of Climate Change, and shove his RINO campaign where the votes don’t shine.


Very good, as usual, ExTexasRedhead.

I respect your thoughts on this above all other comments.

I won't write off Romney because he didn't sign a pledge. I have other reasons for not wanting him, but he's still a better option than Obama, if it comes to that point.

I'm not so sure about that.

Romney destroyed the GOP in Massachussetts.

GIven his unbridled support for ROmneyCare, TARP, GLobal Warming, you'll be getting many of the same issues that OBozo supports, plus you'll get some form of Amnesty and they will pass much more easily, because as President, he will give cover to many of the cowardly Republicans in the House and Senate and they will vote with the President just enough to push some really bad stuff across the finish line.

“Women should be free to choose based on their own beliefs, not mine and not the government’s.”...

Amazing how murdering a nameless child is a “belief”; doesn’t get more evil than that.

Why doesn’t Casey Anthony just come out and say that she is pro-choice and was just exercising her “beliefs” when she ended her daughter’s life?
If it isn’t illegal and immoral to kill a child in your body, then following their “beliefs”, it shouldn’t be illegal to kill a child outside of the womb...

Right Mitt?

Yes, thanks - I’ll take the thoroughbred. Put me down for ‘8’ starting in ‘13’.

I agree with the first hurdle concept. The global warming scam is now next in my mind as I see the ridiculous things that have come about because of the fraud. Burning food. No drilling. Light bulbs. The list foes on and on. Socialist fraud!!!

Did you know that Cain also refused to sign the Anthony pledge?

Did Cain give an explanation as to why he refused to sign?
I haven’t heard his reason.

Romney is a dog, another corrupt dog who believes in slavery and bondage systems because he needs that bondage. He wants to be “in charge” of the whipping and “looking good”, he is a f@g who does not want to be at the other end of the whip.

It’s very dangerous thinking we have here in proto-criminals like Romney who want their little dictat chair entitlement time-share (the “mind”set).

“Abortion is the real bottom line - at least for me.”

It’s not my primary criterion, although it used to be. (And, trust me, we hate abortion and donate thousands of dollars to anti-abortion causes.)

Seems like the tail wagging the dog. Fix the country first, and the other issues such as abortion, loving homosexuality, etc., will improve.

It seems that, for abortion to end, people’s hearts need to be changed. For hearts to be changed, we need to go back to America’s founding principles. We need a country where Christianity is respected and predominant, and church attendance is prevalent. That will never happen if we’re diluting our society with illegal residents, being forced to accept the Muslim way of life and faith, having our Second Amendment rights revoked, etc. When America is America again, abortion will take care of itself. Pray for a revival. And pray for women to decide to not kill their babies.

Still, when it comes to presidential candidates, I’ll go for the pro-life person before another if all other things are equal. I’ll vote for Bachmann if Sarah doesn’t jump in. Romney is not a possibility on many levels.

I’m not exactly sure why people here support Palin so much more than they support Bachmann. Palin supported TARP while Bachmann led the opposition to it.

What irks the heck out of me is the establishment support of this RINO, and the fact he has so damn much money.

Money talks in elections. Loudly. Romney got beat by the press last time who say McCain as more eailsy beaten than Romney agaist Obama. The press is still kissing OholyO’s rear end. I hate to recognize that I have become so cynical, but I just do not trust anyone anymore, and Romney literally sets my teeth on edge.

I take that back, I trust a few, Bachman, Palin, West and Cain I trust. Thats about it. Oh and Chris Christy, but he isn’t running. Shoot, neither is Sarah... sigh.
