MIAMI, FLORIDA – Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney scheduled a $50,000-a-plate fundraiser at the home of Phil Frost, the executive of the company that makes the Morning After Pill, on Wednesday night. Plan B One-Step is produced by Teva Pharmaceuticals, Frost’s company.

Good luck there, big guy. I mean that.

I go with our original strategy, to vote against Romney in the primary and FOR the one with second largest number of delegates.

I will write-in that same name in the general. Maybe that will force placing my write-in candidate on the cabinet.

This means Paul or Santorum, though I was a Perry & Newt girl.

I am unafraid of Obama 2.0, if that’s what it takes to explode the socialist GOPE. That’s a small price to pay to get our party back and then save our Republic. God will provide.

The Democrat platform celebrates abortion,

As does Willard Mitt Romney...

In fact he once tried to prove he celebrated abortion more than Ted Kennedy...

Your list in post #79 brings to mind the questions that Mitt Romney has to satisfactorily answer in order to enter the mormon temple:

Temple Recommend questions.

1 Do you have faith in and a testimony of God the Eternal Father, His Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost?

2 Do you have a testimony of the Atonement of Christ and of His role as Savior and Redeemer?

3 Do you have a testimony of the restoration of the gospel in these the latter days?

4 Do you sustain the President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as the Prophet, Seer, and Revelator and as the only person on the earth who possesses and is authorized to exercise all priesthood keys? Do you sustain members of the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles as prophets, seers, and revelators? Do you sustain the other General Authorities and local authorities of the Church?

5 Do you live the law of chastity?

6 Is there anything in your conduct relating to members of your family that is not in harmony with the teachings of the Church?

7 Do you support, affiliate with, or agree with any group or individual whose teachings or practices are contrary to or oppose those accepted by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?

8 Do you strive to keep the covenants you have made, to attend your sacrament and other meetings, and to keep your life in harmony with the laws and commandments of the gospel?

9 Are you honest in your dealings with your fellowmen?

10 Are you a full-tithe payer?

11 Do your keep the Word of Wisdom?

12 Do you have financial or other obligations to a former spouse or children? If yes, are you current in meeting those obligations?

13 If you have previously received your temple endowment:

Do you keep the covenants that you made in the temple?
Do you wear the garment both night and day as instructed in the endowment and in accordance with the covenant you made in the temple?

14 Have there been any sins or misdeeds in your life that should have been resolved with priesthood authorities but have not been?

15 Do you consider yourself worthy to enter the Lord's house and participate in temple ordinances?

Once Mitt has answered these questions to the satisfaction of his bishop, he takes this oath in the temple ritual: You and each of you covenant and promise before God, angels, and these witnesses at this altar, that you do accept the law of consecration as contained in this, the book of Doctrine and Covenants [he displays the book], in that you do consecrate yourselves, your time, talents, and everything with which the Lord has blessed you, or with which he may bless you, to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, for the building up of the kingdom of God on the earth and for the establishment of Zion. Why would we prefer one over the other?

Sound like another Wetboro Bap[tist n00b come to tell Freerepublic folks the Wetboro definition of ‘saved’. Are we witnessing an obamnoid form of taqqiya, faux Christians? Sure looks like it as you folks work to reduce the opposition vote to little barry bastard commie in the White Hut.

[EternalVigilance]

We must.

The only people who worry about hypocrisy are the Moslems and the leftwingtards. The Moslems accept the word of Mohammad that the hypocrites should simply be killed.

The leftwingtards imagine that public policy should be created with an eye to avoiding hypocrisy ~ as they see it.

BTW, 99.9999999999995% of hypocrisy is only in the eye of the beholder.

So, stuff it wingnut! Back to DU.

Since you are posting to a candidate for President, I should think you wouldn’t expect him to vote for Obamney.

This is a huge company ...I say the article is BS

Mergers and acquisitions

Teva plant, Har Hotzvim
On December 23, 2008, Teva acquired Barr Pharmaceuticals for US$7.5 billion, making Barr and Pliva (which Barr bought earlier) part of Teva.[13] On March 18, 2010, Teva announced that it planned to acquire German generic Ratiopharm for US$5 billion. The deal was completed on August 2010.[7]
In May 2011, Teva bought Cephalon for US$6.8 billion. The combined company is expected to have US$7 billion in sales of branded drugs.[14] Shortly after this announcement, Teva announced the ¥40 billion purchase of a majority stake in the Japanese generic drug company Taiyo Pharmaceutical Industry, a move to secure a Japan-local production facility.[8] Teva completed the $934 million acquisition on July 2011.[15]

Teva holds a patent on two drugs: Copaxone (for the treatment of multiple sclerosis), now the world’s best selling MS drug, and Azilect (sold as Agilect in some countries) for treatment of Parkinson’s disease

Put down your crystal ball and back away from your bong time machine. Your faux omniscience is oozing out.

[EternalVigilance]

I think there are a lot of Freepers who share my enthusiastic support for Mitt.

LOL...then why do 99.9% of them feel the need to preface their support practically every time with something along the lines of "I know he stinks, but..."

Obama is not attempting to run as a Republican, but Mitt is. But, if you want somebody to say bad things about Obama every time we tell the truth about Romney, it'll sound like an echo chamber.

From what I can see - most have renounced the Republican Party anyway. Did Romney indicate (or do you think he would) to the Russians that if he had enough space until his election was over, then he could take care of business better? I guess we all need to decide what we are willing to trade off on - I prefer to have a modicum of National Sovereignty left after the next election. If you take all the things you detest about both candidates and remove those that match up, then study what's left, which bad choice makes more sense? Purism is a theory that looks great on paper, but which will destroy one (or a Nation) when put into practice - similar to the "no tolerance" policies in schools where even a stick drawing of a gun get's a kid suspended, or a 6 year old singing "I'm too sexy" gets him suspended for "sexual harassment". That;s a classic example of "purism". "All or nothing" demands makes one an instant loser and a surprised martyr with all the others that go down with the ship.

I detest that Romney will be the other candidate, but I won't commit suicide and smugly imagine that at least I got my way as I lie on the deathbed of my Nation. "Give me some space until my election is over....."

[Leep]

I wasn’t criticizing so much as just pointing out the facts.
The reality of the situation is litterally making me ill and giving me headaches.
I feel trapped.
In one trap I definitely lose my right arm. While in the other trap I only lose my right hand.
Whether I can bring myself to vote for Romney, and right now I can not, I will still vote for the lower offices.
That is the only glimmer of hope I have.

[EGPWS]

If I hear that one. more. time. :)

The fact is I can't stand Romney and his liberal socialist hack ways BUT...

: D

[netmilsmom]

>>What are the odds that Romney will try to appoint Mormons?<<

What do I care? I’m Catholic and not a Mormon bigot.

[muawiyah]

No, it's Romney collecting a sack of cash that another guy got from a company that manufactures abortificiants.

Do you actually believe that placing a bunch of middle men in the daisy chain makes the immorality go away?

[galloway15]

I thought the morning after pill prevents conception rather then having an effect on an already conceived fetus. Am I wrong about this?

[Drew68]

Since you are posting to a candidate for President, I should think you wouldn’t expect him to vote for Obamney.

BWAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

[netmilsmom]

>>I think there are a lot of Freepers who share my enthusiastic support for Mitt. <<

Oh Lord, I don’t.
As a GOP candidate, he stinks.

But he is the last man standing and not a Marxist.

[Starstruck]

So where did I say or imply I did.
