I'm sorry folks, but a man who can justify and rationalize in his own mind the wholesale slaughter of innocent human life can justify any kind of evil whatsoever. And he has.
He's justified homosexual marriage, homosexuals in the Boy Scouts, homosexuals in the military. That homosexual couples should be able to adopt children. He's justified that guns are dangerous and should be banned. That free citizens should be forced by the government to purchase insurance contracts against their will or face stiff penalties or taxes. That mandated forced socialized healthcare is a good thing.
That abortion should be safe and legal in America. That since Roe v Wade has been in effect for over twenty years that it is settled law and should be defended as same. That when the government puts Planned Parenthood on the board of his own brainchild signature accomplishment and makes taxpayer funded abortion available on demand, "it's not his fault." That when he appoints liberal judges and appointees, it's not his fault. When a judge rules that homosexual couples should be allowed to marry, so HE orders it done, it's not his fault.
He's justified that the earth is warming and it's caused by man and we are going to have to do something about it. He's justified that since the economy is down and some companies are failing, that it's a good thing that the government stepped in and bailed them out. That government should spend MORE of what it doesn't have to stimulate the economy. That the debt limit should be increased so the government can continue spending even more of what it doesn't have. He's justified in his own mind that fee hikes are not tax increases.
My friends he has justified and personally enacted just about the entire liberal/progressive, abortionist/homosexualist, statist/socialist, big government anti-liberty agenda.
And they have the gonads to ask me for MY vote?
Seriously, you can support the reelection of President Obama, a lot of people do. On the off chance that you are not a troll, I just thought I would tell you that the ProLife movement supports Gov. Romney and I provided a link. You on the other hand just regurgitate troll talking points from the OFA Campaign. If you have one bit of evidence that any reputable ProLife group agrees with you, provide the link or drop it.
I have nothing to say to you other than “1992” and “2000”. If that doesn’t mean anything to you, then there’s no helping you understand.
Elections matter. You and your friends here are still holding your breath and stomping your feet because your guy/girl didn’t win or run in the primary. The primary was our chance. That time is now past. We focus on Obama or we turn on each other for the sake of “purity.”
It really is that simple. But I don’t expect anything from you other than a sarcastic response, an insult, and/or calling me a “liberal.”
If my position is morally superior, why do you not heed it?
Oh, I know, regardless of what you’ll say in response, the real answer is “because you are not a conservative”; you’re a republican, not a conservative.
Which number are you adding (or subtracting) from which number, in order, to convincingly demonstrate that Not Voting for Mittens = Voting for Obama?
Plainly, you don't understand the question at hand. While that scarcely seems to be my fault -- it IS grade school mathematics, after all -- I'm willing to simplify things for you, if I can. Which part, specifically, is throwing you...?
It really is this simple: unlike the angry, self-righteous scolds of Mittens' online Sister-Wife Squadron, I don't consider it my business whom you do (or do not) vote for, come November.
Period, end of sentence, end of paragraph. I. Do. Not. Care.
The ultimate dispensation of my own vote, however -- and their huffy, red-faced disapproval of same (see: your own tantrum, above) -- has demonstrably lead to my currently living, rent free, inside of their heads, 24/7.
One might wish for marginally less cramped quarters, frankly... and in an appreciably better neighborhood, to boot.
Of course the leadership will be faithless ~ much like Romney.
I encouraged you to go convert a godless death dealing murderous pig Obot.
Do that. Leave Conservatives alone.
BTW, you can find out how long some one has been a registered user of Free Republic quite easily. Do that.
I am not a troll, but I"ve never heard of you and that makes me suspect you are a disrupter with malicious intent.
Sorry, does not compute anymore.
Then there's the "you attack Romney, you attack Mormon' set line. That doesn't work anymore either.
At least come up with new material ~ and, BTW, you shouldn't be trying to convert real Conservatives to your way of thinking ~ you should be out there recruiting godless Obots. They're half way to victory having accepted all the strange beliefs Romney has about society so he's their boy.
You can find lots of them downtown on a hot evening, wandering about. Ready to talk.
One should always ONLY vote one's conscience. Read the founders to understand what they designed.
If one is always willing to settle for a 'politician', at what point does one finally get a statesman? == *never*
'Lesser of two evils (pragmatism)' is exactly what promotes parties and politicians, and what removes statesmen from the equation.
Collectively (and this is the only place a 'collective' applies), we get the SOBs we vote for.
Their gibbering, drooling terror -- causing them to scuttle, on all eight legs, straight towards the nearest genially grinning socialist -- is all they have left, man.
It's all they have left.
I asked you: On the off chance that you are not a troll, I just thought I would tell you that the ProLife movement supports Gov. Romney and I provided a link. You on the other hand just regurgitate troll talking points from the OFA Campaign. If you have one bit of evidence that any reputable ProLife group agrees with you, provide the link or drop it.” You couldn’t provide a link because there is no ProLife group that agrees with you or Obama! Now go text OFA and tell them you got nothin left and need better talking points. Ps...I don’t give a hoot what date you came on this miracle of a website. You don’t try to split the conservative vote 3 months before election day and say you want to rid the Executive Branch of the United States of America of these Socialist Progressives, you just don’t.
Don't you have any moral standards?
You presume too much:
In order to 'split' the vote, one must infer or imply that the vote belonged to the Republican in the first place. That is no longer the case, and especially so in this particular instance.
Mitt Romney says he opposes abortion 2/7/2007
The first time was when Romney was a young man in the 1960s and his brother-in-law's sister - an engaged-to-be-married teen who became pregnant - died in a botched illegal abortion.
Roughly three decades later, while campaigning for the Senate in 1994, Romney described that tragedy as the event that triggered his conclusion that regardless of personal beliefs, abortion should be safe and legal.
RomneyCare Provides Funds For Abortions. ObamaCare Does Not May 15, 2011
Thank You.
Free Republic is a conservative website, not a republican website.
Coming onto a conservative website trying to separate conservatives from their conservative principles is not conservative.
You are correct, elections matter. So go and convert some mushy middle undecideds or squishy RINOs rather than sowing discord among conservatives.
Alas, my FRiend, but I believe your efforts are an exercise in futility. These poor folks are obviously suffering from the result of public education. It's the 'new math' ; )
Look Mua, your really struggling here, let me help you, just text this to your contact at OFA HQ: Dear Sirs, I’m getting my butt kick here on FR regarding the Pro Choice issue, need help. Can you create a fake organization like: Anti Abortion Americans Against Romney (AAAAR) complete with a website that I could link to? This anti choice a hole busted me because I can’t give him one example of an Anti Choice organization that agrees with “our position”. Ps the last transaction didn’t clear and I’m busting it hard for the President, what up? Waiting patiently for your reply, yours in hope and change comrade. Irene (code name muawiyah)
I love your tagline. It boasts of Constitutional knowledge while promoting two candidates, one of which is ineligible for the position. By the way, many of the pro-life groups have been bitten by ABO as well. After all, they endorsed McCain and have endorsed others who do not really fit the mold.
True. Romney is not a conservative.
Are both of you saying that conservatives (not Romney) never fielded negative ads against each other, nor said anything to slam each other during the debates?
When either of you answer, please ping the other two. I’ll take your word for it. The impression I got is that even the non-Romneys either:
1) ran negative ads
2) said bad things about each other during the debates
He is the Father of the $50.00 government co-pay for abortion killing. I have no idea why it is written in the third person, but his "pro-life" "statement" is incoherent. Look at the parts I have bolded:
Mitt Romney is pro-life. He believes it speaks well of the country that almost all Americans recognize that abortion is a problem. And in the quiet of conscience, people of both political parties know that more than a million abortions a year cannot be squared with the good heart of America.His "wishing" does not constitute obedience to "a moral duty to uphold the sanctity of life and protect the weakest, most vulnerable and most innocent among us." Nor is accepting that if people in various states want to vote for it they thereby have some imaginary "right" to kill the innocent.Mitt believes that life begins at conception and wishes that the laws of our nation reflected that view. But while the nation remains so divided, he believes that the right next step is for the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade – a case of blatant judicial activism that took a decision that should be left to the people and placed it in the hands of unelected judges. With Roe overturned, states will be empowered through the democratic process to determine their own abortion laws and not have them dictated by judicial mandate.
Mitt supports the Hyde Amendment, which broadly bars the use of federal funds for abortions. As president, he will end federal funding for abortion advocates like Planned Parenthood. He will protect the right of health care workers to follow their conscience in their work. And he will nominate judges who know the difference between personal opinion and the law.
Because the good heart of America knows no boundaries, a commitment to protecting life should not stop at the water’s edge. Taking innocent life is always wrong and always tragic, wherever it happens. The compassionate instincts of this country should not be silent in the face of injustices like China’s One-Child policy. No one will ever hear a President Romney or his vice president tell the Chinese government that "I fully understand" and won’t “second guess” compulsory sterilization and forced abortion.
Americans have a moral duty to uphold the sanctity of life and protect the weakest, most vulnerable and most innocent among us. As president, Mitt will ensure that American laws reflect America’s values of preserving life at home and abroad.
