“Do you reckon Romney is a marxist, too?”

You tell me. He invented RomneyCare, lies about it, and backs the left on virtually every major pet project they have to offer. And he lies about everything to do with himself, all the time. One can’t listen to him without being cynical. He is a damned liar who lies like he breaths, and that is the guy you guys are praising. Voting for Mittens is one thing, but voting for Mittens while requiring everyone bury their heads about who he is is moral betrayal.

Well, Marx lived in the 19th century. I don't personally know anyone who has told me that he or she has personally read much of what he wrote. So, I think it's highly unlikely that Romney would identify himself as a Marxist.

I measure him with a different yardstick. Our Decaration of Independence speaks of our God-given rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Our Constitution (as amended) grants to us rights to life, liberty and property. Our Constitution (as amended) grants to us a right to bear arms in order to protect our other God-given rights. Granted by God, these rights belong to us whether or not our government finds those rights to be convenient or inconvenient. In other words, I believe we have a God-given right to a small and very limited government.

Now, given Romney's history regarding abortion, do I think he has demonstrated a decent respect to the God-given right to life? Of course not.

Given Romney's history regarding Romneycare, do I think he has shown a decent respect for liberty or property? Of course not.

I'm sure you can finish this list yourself. Marxist? Who knows? Liberal? Definitely. Anti-American? Yeah, I'd say so, given our traditions.

I think this would be a good time to give Tom Hoefling another plug. Tom believes deeply in the right to life, the right to liberty and the right to pursue happiness. And, he knows where those rights come from!
