Mitt appoints liberal justices ... according to his record. Pavone is wrong about the depth of Romney’s liberalism. In fact, a repub congress would oppose obama while it would give way to romney.
In short, I’m right. :>) (meant to be humor)
Drill here! Drill Now!
Mitt certainly appointed liberal judges as governor of Mass. when there were, what, 4 GOP senators out of 40 (or something like that)? I don’t think he’d do the same if he is elected president as a Republican (remember, Romney’s adviser on judges is Robert Bork), particularly if he has a GOP Senate, much less if he wants to run for reelection. But you know who we know certainly would name liberals to the Supreme Court and to every inferior court? Barack Obama.
BTW, I don’t think that Father Frank Pavone has ever commented on the depth of Romney’s liberalism; his coments about choosing to limit evil when faced with two imperfect candidates (as is always the case, since no candidate is ever perfect) was actually written several years ago. But I think that it’s important to differentiate between choosing to reduce evil and choosing “the lesser of two evils.” I know far too many pro-life Catholics who nevertheless vote Democrat, and when I confront them they will say “but the Republican candidate wasn’t 100% pro-life, either, because he would allow abortion in cases of rape or incest, so since he’s not pro-life either I’ll vote for the Democrat” (even if he supports partial-birth abortion). I am a no-exceptions pro-lifer (to clarify, I don’t consider medical treatment necessary to save the life of the mother that has the unintended consequence of killing the fetus to be an exception to the pro-life position), but I’d gladly support a rape-and-incest-exception pro-lifer such as George W. Bush (who turned out to be the most pro-life president in U.S. history) over pro-abortionists such as Gore and Kerry. While I don’t believe that Romney has truly converted to the pro-life position, I would certainly prefer Romney to Obama when is comes to making decisions concerning abortion, since Obama has proven even to the most naïve that he is 100% pro-abortion.
As for drilling for oil, I couldn’t agree more: Drill here! Drill now! Drill offshore! Drill in ANWR! Drill for shale oil! Frack like there’s no tomorrow!
