WELL DONE, MITT! As Governor Of Mass, Romney Banned The Assault Weapon Used In The Colorado Massacre
Business Insider ^ | Jul. 23, 2012, 10:26 AM | Henry Blodget

Posted on 07/29/2012 3:21:27 PM PDT by SoConPubbie

In 2004, as Governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney banned the sale of assault weapons like the one used to spray 50-60 bullets a minute in the Colorado massacre.

On FOX News, Romney explained his position as follows:

"I believe the people should have the right to bear arms, but I don’t believe that we have to have assault weapons as part of our personal arsenal."

That seems like a perfectly reasonable position, no?

(Seriously: Do we really need to be able to buy and own these things? Is that really in the best interests of our society? Really?)

Unfortunately, in the intervening years, Romney has flip-flopped and now supports the sale of assault weapons like the one used in the Colorado massacre.

But the families of those who were shot and killed in the theater can presumably take some comfort from the fact that Romney was against these guns before he was for them.

Obama thanks you for your continued support. (He doesn't give a damn about your "principles". He just wants more time to destroy the country. He appreciates what you are doing!)

Thanks for YOUR support, too!

YOU HATE ROMNEY MORE THAN YOU LOVE YOUR COUNTRY.

Wrong.

we LOVE our country more than to put a KNOW heretic at it's helm!

We did NOT know with Obama; but we sure as HELL know about Mitt and his hellish 'religion'.


Do you love your country and therefore are willing to put up with false teachings from on high?

God Elsie, what does it take to get you to quit doing that to me?

Just ignore my posts or make a simple comment but I have asked you every way that I know how to get you to quit dumping those massive, meaningless cut an pastes on me.

Do that to other people, not to me, I’m not interested in your spam, piggy back on other peoples posts.

God has given us a choice, choose Obama or Romney but you have to choose or you will waste your vote.

Wow!

Two incorrect assumptions in one sentence!


God has given us a choice, choose Obama or Romney ...
Nope: neither is a also a quite valid choice.


... but you have to choose or you will waste your vote.

You do not WASTE what you do not THROW AWAY by voting for a heretic or a Marxist/Muslim.

The two choices you ABO's have is:

1. A deceived MORMON, or...
2. A deceiving one.

I have a sneaking suspicion that 100% of your posts are against Romney and not a single one criticizing Obama.

So I take it you think you can compartmentalize your Christianity, right?

Of COURSE!!

Just WHERE; in this verse; does it say to NOT elect a person like this to be Leader of the Free World???

do not take him into your house or welcome him.

It is unfortunate that Romney will be the nominee.

We have a prophet in our midst!

If Romney wins, we have to keep his feet to the fire and make him do the right thing.

How?

We have never had a Marxist as the president. Unrestrained in a second term, he will do anything he wants. Stroke of a pen -— 5 million new illegal alien voters. Stroke of a pen -— “hate” speech on such sites as FreeRepublic censored by a Hate Speech Czar. Stroke of a pen -— you must personally invest in green energy or pay a penalty. Stroke of a pen -— in your children weigh too much, you will be ordered what to feed them.

This would NEVER happen!!

The ABOs on FR would get their arms and march in the streets to stop it!They are THAT committed!

Sorry dude, but YOUR post did NOT indicate that it was from a previous post.

Here it is:

To: Tau Food

One reason that Romney is running is his religion, he first asked for a meeting with his Holy Prophet to ask permission to run for President.

Bishop Romney will do anything except leave his religion of which he is a high ranking powerful leader within and he is the patriarch of a family that immigrated to America solely to serve Joseph Smith and they have never strayed from that mission during their 170 years here.

No kid God didnt give us either one of them...

Its blasphemy to accuse our Righteous God of forcing evil upon us..

Obama and Willard are evil and God doesnt send us evil...

God sends us good things...

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the Heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows James 1:17

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD. “Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11

Tell me AT do you really think either Willard or Obama fit into that scripture ???

I don't know what that means but I have asked you over and over to quit spamming me with that rainbo cut and paste junk, you have already pretty much driven me off of the religious threads, don't stalk me onto the news threads as well with your obsessive whackness.

All you want is an excuse to spam pages of cut and paste stuff anyway, just use other people's posts to do that, don't use mine, it doesn't matter to you, or shouldn't, although after months of asking you to quit doing it to me, it does seem that you have your own hostile reasons.

No, not a prophet. Just a guy who has been involved in politics since Barry Goldwater and understands how primaries and the electoral college work. If you don’t understand how it works and were one of my students in college, I would have made you do research and an extra paper to pass the class.

Don’t get me wrong; I don’t like it that he will be the nominee.

Oh, really? It would never happen. Have you paid any attention to what Obama has already done? I do not care how committed you might be. You are going to take to the streets and stop Obama executive orders and PDDs or PPDs as Obama has called it? That is beyond naive.

If Obama wins, there will be no 2016.

Oh please.

What does Romans 3:4-5 has to do with Romney? that verse was written for the believers. God has given us a choice, choose Obama or Romney but you have to choose or you will waste your vote. Any other candidate will only put Obama in the WH for 4 ++++++more years. Pray and Fast for 3, 7 or more days until God tells you what to do !!!!!! as for me I know who to vote for. Palin was my first choice but she is not running so I can’t vote for her and writing her name is not using common sense much less wisdom. May the Lord guide us on our decisions for sake of our children and stop the spirit of PRIDE in trying to get our ways.

So God, who despises Abortion and Homosexuality, gave us a choice of two men who both Support the Homosexual agenda, and maybe both support Abortion?

God who calls Homosexuality an Abomination wants me to vote for Mitt Romney the Father of Gay Marriage in America?

You really don't know your Bible or Christianity do you!?

We can examine recent history and recognize that Ronald Reagan, Maggie Thatcher, and Pope John Paul II did incredible work together to bring down communism. Reagan had the vision and fought that battle for 50 years. If you ever get the chance, see the movie that chronicles his battle -- IN THE FACE OF EVIL.

Perhaps hundreds of millions of people live in freedom because of him. Having the luxury or knowing all that Reagan had done, had he been a Mormon, you would not have voted for him, would you? If not, that is a pretty sad commentary on you and bigotry. As a Catholic, I am not threatened by Romney's religion. I am, however, threatened by his policies with which I greatly disagree. That should be the argument. Mormons whom I have known in my life have been pretty much decent people who raise good, respectful kids. Are Jews acceptable to you? Buddhists? Hindus?

re: ...”and we aren’t impressionable children...”

Sometimes I would have to disagree with that comment. I do not mean there will be no 2016 because of the Mayan calendar or that kind of nonsense. It was poetic license for the real effect Obama will have on this country if he is in charge for four more years. We are at a tipping point where the number of takers just about equals the number of taxpayers who supply them with goodies. You have seen Obama’s recent back door amnesty. With the stroke of a pen, he is going to legalize 5 million more democrat voters. With him unrestrained by the burden of worrying about another term, he will use executive orders and PDDs as we have never before seen. He is going to continue his war on private enterprise. He is going to allow Iran to have nuclear capability. He loathes the Constitution as a flawed document and has figuratively urinated on it.

Given the chance, Obama and the RATS are going to fix the country so that conservatives are not going to have any voice or any chance of capturing the presidency. He will shut down dissent as being hate speech at such sites as FreeRepublic. He will finally do what the RATS have wanted to do for many years -— use the FCC to shut down conservative talk radio by requiring equal time for dissenting programs. Three hours of Rush on WABC will have to be followed by three hours of Randi Rhodes or Ed Schultz. That will destroy the station and it will turn to playing the hits of Mexico.
