...Mitt Romney is basing his campaign on his superior business savvy. Good thing, since we would not want to look too closely at RomneyCare in Massachusetts. It not only embraced the unconstitutional individual mandate, but it extended coverage for abortion in the Bay State.
Romney says he does not want to sign the Susan B. Anthony pledge to defund all outfits that kill the unborn. Why? Because that would cut off federal funds to hospitals that do abortions. Yet, he doubtless believes he can sell us on "building a culture of life."
That lovely phrase from the late Pope John Paul II is a lifesaver for politicians who can talk "culture of life" while shoveling money to the engines of death.
Romney is more than willing to tax us for the killing of embryonic humans while he claims the pro-life mantle. How does that work? He might have pursued instead the most promising treatments that are found in ethical stem cell research -- from adult stem cells and other morally uncompromised sources.
Again, he's shovel-ready.
By saying he believes in anthropogenic global warming, Romney will try to become the first politician ever to accept Al Gore's premises without the policies that go with his ideology. These policies invariably include more government micro-management of the economy and population control.
And then there's Mitt's plastic persona. He is not liked and unlikely to become liked. It was T.R.'s indomitable daughter, Alice Roosevelt Longworth, who summed up Thomas Dewey's "can't lose" campaign in 1948. "He's the little man on the wedding cake," she said acidly.
Mitt Romney is Thomas Dewey, only taller.

Rick Perry Gets A Grade on Abortion From Texas Pro-Life Groups “The big question in the Republican presidential race is whether or not Texas Gov. Rick Perry will throw his name in the hat for the GOP nomination to face pro-abortion president Barack Obama. If he does, Texas pro-life groups give him high marks.
“Governor Rick Perry has always championed the pro-life cause, tirelessly advocating for the sanctity of innocent human life in numerous ways,” Texas Right to Life executive director Elizabeth Graham tells LifeNews.com.
Governor Perry has worked alongside Texas Right to Life, helping shepherd our pro-life bills and eagerly supporting our measures,” Graham said. “As governor of Texas, he has intervened to stop anti-life legislation on a number of occasions, and he has helped clear obstacles when necessary.” ………….
June 13, 2011: Texas Gov. Rick Perry blasted pro-abortion President Barack Obama on pro-life issues "Perry said that, under Obama “our federal tax dollars can now be used to fund abortion all over the world. With the stroke of a pen, abortion essentially became a U.S. foreign export......."
”Perry has pleased pro-life advocates in Texas many times with signing pro-life legislation — most recently signing an ultrasound bill allowing women to see them before an abortion and hopefully changing their minds on it. He has been strongly supported by pro-life groups. Perry supported or signed into law the Women’s Right to Know Act and the Prenatal Protection Act in 2003, parental consent law in 2005, and funding for alternatives to abortions in 2007 and 2009."
Jul. 02, 2011:"...But his embrace of the voter ID and sanctuary city bills has threatened a backlash among Hispanics, who accounted for 56 percent of the nation's population growth over the past decade.
Perry's push for the sonogram bill has fortified his long-standing ties to family values and pro-life groups but it has also made him a target from other circles.
"We would aggressively work to defeat him [Perry], of course," said Terry O'Neill, president of the National Organization for Women, which describes itself as non-partisan but typically backs Democrats. Star Telegram
Margaret Carlson’s take on Perry She hoping he won’t run against Romney, so made an “ick” list about him including:
……”This year, Perry signed into law "emergency legislation" forcing a woman seeking an abortion to have a sonogram, after which she'll be told everything about the fetus. And after Texas's anti-sodomy law was struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2003, he supported the state legislature's refusal to remove the law from its books and called the justices "nine oligarchs in robes."………….
Great graphic!!!
I’m from Massachusetts and can’t think of a reason to support Romney. Not one.
If he is the alternative to Obama as the nominee, I will of course then have a reason to support him. That’s it.
Sad.
I am almost ready to vote for Newt - and if I had contemplated that a month ago, I would have thought I was crazy.
"FED UP!" -- by Rick Perry [forward by NEWT GINGRICH]
Rick Perry's book "almost came too late"
"I wish this book had never needed to be written.
It almost came too late.
America is recklessly accelerating toward economic disaster. Fed Up! may be the last warning sign to the danger that lies ahead.
Rick Perry, Texas governor for the past decade, is uniquely qualified to offer a firsthand perspective on why the United States—the most successful civilization in human history—is being threatened with economic collapse.
First Principles
Faith, freedom, and free enterprise are the pillars of a strong, safe, prosperous society. Rick knows that when these principles are protected, America succeeds, and when they are undermined, America fails. But the Left has a different belief. The Left believes that most people are not capable of pursuing happiness and that a strong centralized government is best able to provide for them. While claiming compassion for humanity, the Left's policies are destructive to the human beings subject to them—as we have had to learn painfully again and again."......
thanks much for the book reference - I will follow up on it.
It’s really aggravating to me that Mitt sells himself as a man of strong moral and religious principles while in his political life almost anything goes. I don’t see any consistency at all. I’ve got to wonder if Mitt is being honest about anything at all.
MORGAN: Abortion. What's your view of abortion?
CAIN: I believe that life begins at conception. And abortion under no circumstances. And here's why --
MORGAN: No circumstances?
CAIN: No circumstances.
MORGAN: Because many of your fellow candidates -- some of them qualify that.
CAIN: They qualify but --
MORGAN: Rape and incest.
CAIN: Rape and incest.
MORGAN: Are you honestly saying -- again, it's a tricky question, I know.
CAIN: Ask the tricky question.
MORGAN: But you've had children, grandchildren. If one of your female children, grand children was raped, you would honestly want her to bring up that baby as her own?
CAIN: You're mixing two things here, Piers?
MORGAN: Why?
CAIN: You're mixing --
MORGAN: That's what it comes down to.
CAIN: No, it comes down to it's not the government's role or anybody else's role to make that decision. Secondly, if you look at the statistical incidents, you're not talking about that big a number. So what I'm saying is it ultimately gets down to a choice that that family or that mother has to make.
Not me as president, not some politician, not a bureaucrat. It gets down to that family. And whatever they decide, they decide. I shouldn't have to tell them what decision to make for such a sensitive issue.
MORGAN: By expressing the view that you expressed, you are effectively -- you might be president. You can't hide behind now the mask, if you don't mind me saying, of being the pizza guy. You might be the president of United States of America. So your views on these things become exponentially massively more important. They become a directive to the nation.
CAIN: No they don't. I can have an opinion on an issue without it being a directive on the nation. The government shouldn't be trying to tell people everything to do, especially when it comes to social decisions that they need to make.
MORGAN: That's a very interesting departure --
Transcript
Cain is saying that as President he can't FORCE his beliefs onto the rest of the citizens. Do you want Obama to be able to FORCE his beliefs onto the rest of the citizens? We are fighting against Obama, now. Do you want to give Obama a pass? It is clear from the transcript that Cain was talking about raising a baby not aborting it!
From the front page of: http://www.hermancain.com/h
“Yesterday in an interview with Piers Morgan on CNN, I was asked questions about abortion policy and the role of the President.
I understood the thrust of the question to ask whether that I, as president, would simply “order” people to not seek an abortion.
My answer was focused on the role of the President. The President has no constitutional authority to order any such action by anyone. That was the point I was trying to convey.
As to my political policy view on abortion, I am 100% pro-life. End of story.
I will appoint judges who understand the original intent of the Constitution. Judges who are committed to rule of law know that the Constitution contains no right to take the life of unborn children.
I will oppose government funding of abortion. I will veto any legislation that contains funds for Planned Parenthood. I will do everything that a President can do, consistent with his constitutional role, to advance the culture of life.”
I am leaning Newt as well, these two clowns plastic hair hat#1 and plastic hair hat #2 have Political luggage behind them. Bachmann is whiney, and Cain is falling into the other black guy enough with the 999 plan. Newt has talked on many topics of which he knows more than all of them put together, hes respected, just watch the others when Newt is responding to a question, they listen intensley. He’s experienced, intelligent and has BALLS and will mop the floor with this fraud.
Mitt Romney was HONEST when Gov. Perry got him to reveal:
That's -- I'm running for office, for Pete's sake, I can't have illegals. [video clip] -- Mitt Romney, GOP presidential debate - October 18, 2011 - Las Vegas, NV
Rudy Giuliani asked Mitt Romney the same question in the 2008 CNN debate that Rick Perry asked him during the CNN 2011 debate -- Mitt lost it both times.
Nov 28, 2008 CNN-YouTube Debate: Sound familiar? [LOOK who interrupts whom!!]
Funny Accent Mitt Romney, discussing reports illegal immigrants did landscaping at his home: It would "not be American" to check workers' papers simply because they have a "funny accent." [acknowledges need for giving health care and education to illegals]
Sound familiar? Mike Huckabee, replying to Romney's criticism of providing college scholarships to children of illegal immigrants: "In all due respect, we are a better country than to punish children for what their parents did."
At the same debate: John McCain: "We must recognize these are God's children as well. ... I will enforce the borders first. But we won't demagogue it."
Mitt Romney is THE reason Obama is pRes_ _ent.
Romney’s attacks on Gov. Palin THREW Election 2008
because 2012 was HIS, HIS, HIS.
NO ONE MUST GET IN THE WAY!!

I’ve heard what Cain said about abortion and posted it above. Can’t get much better than that.
Take a look a the religious "principles" of Mormonism and you'll see that pretty much nothing is too far-fetched to be considered inconsistent.
Cordially,
The LDS have an eerie sci-fi’ish core. Who else talks about occupying planets?
But, the “official” church stance is that no, not everything goes. Its idea of good Mormon morality is very similar to traditional non-LDS Christian morality, with health ideas similar to that of the Seventh Day Adventists. However, the gate they suggest is very weak — it’s “do you personally feel fit” to attend the Mormon temple services. That’s how in practice, if not in ideal principle, they can get “good Mormons” like Harry Reid.
I am of the view that McCain was the actual rug-puller, Mitt’s pot shots notwithstanding. In his Kentucky Fried Gentleman haste to look collegial and not look racist opposite the melanistically endowed octo-maroon, John McCain actually said there was nothing to fear from a president Obama. That was a super-stupid move, because there was much to fear (and now is much to loathe) from the color of Obama’s policies, which proved deeply rooted in the most cynical Rat and liberal scheming and screaming, things which would have been a bridge too far for even John McCain had he thought about them. But with McCain himself declaring the election results an effective don’t care, the door of invitation was flung wide open to voting for the devil America didn’t know.
The man is a disgusting two-faced GOP RINO elitist panderer who should have been kicked out of the party the day he signed his Nazi healthcare plan that’s current destroying the state of MA...
