Mark Levin to Romney: Not ‘Standing Up’ for Chick-fil-A Is Wrong

Conservative radio talk show host Mark Levin lashed out at GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney for not “standing up” for Chick-fil-A and demanded that the former Massachusetts governor pick a conservative to be his running mate.

“We want a little bit more than crumbs,” Levin asserted on Monday’s show. “We want a conservative running mate and we want some conservatives who have real speaking time at prime time.”

Levin said he continues to be “very concerned” about Romney, particularly with the candidate’s public reticence in recent days to join conservatives who have made statements and appearances on behalf of the embattled fast-food chain.

Mark Levin is of course 100% right. Would be nice if Willard would show some balls once in awhile. So far he is doing nothing to make conservatives feel good about voting for him and if he doesn't start soon this RINO will go the way of Juan "Can't we all get along" McCain.

Boo-yah.

Mark needs to go on a tear about Romney’s major financial backers. Those guys are bringing Democrat values into the highest reaches of the Republican party ~ and turning it into a criminal enterprise run by moral and ethical failures.

The sleazy left wing media, I mean main stream media would just use his response for another few weeks of distraction and obscuring the real issues IMHO. Also, I heard on Fox this AM that there is another business in the fascists’ cross-hairs now but I had to leave for work and didn't get the name. Does anyone know?

I coined this phrase as a joke in 2008. Sadly, though it is only an analogy, it’s not even a little bit funny any more. There is too much truth to it:

I feel like a Jew having to decide between Hitler and Stalin.

I agree....Mitt doesn’t need to be dragged into every left wing made up controversy and get off message....who knows, maybe this one was just for that purpose?

One of the main issues when it comes to the Presidency is freedom of conscience, and then freedom of speech.

Certainly being forthright on those two issues is not a ditraction. Being less than forthright suddenly becomes an issue in and of itself.

IMHO this clearly went beyond what the left had planned, and was (rapidly) backed off of.

Chick-fil-A won this one, big.

Next...

Well, now we know what we always suspected ~ Romney has no idea what free speech is about.

Dump him now before he strikes again.

Levin is one of the few people I listen to on talk radio.

Shame on Hannity and others who act cowardly or even like Hannity said on his show once, “I don’t care who marries”

Be nice if many in talk radio, our side and the GOP got some balls for once when it concerns the homostapo and their NAZI thuggery.

Mitt makes official statement this morning...

"I'll be better for gays at fast food restaurants than President Obama."

[Louis Foxwell]

Romney is the true vanilla candidate, a man of no principle save making himself look as uncontroversial and bland as possible.
Do not fail to understand that his motivation for becoming president is to insure his elevation to Mormon god upon his transition through death to his ultimate reality.
This is not a man seeking to enter heaven. He seeks to create his own heaven as per Joseph Smith’s venal fantasies.
For all of you out there who do not care about a man’s religion, nuts.

[cotton1706]

It wasn’t about free speech. It was about freedom of religion. Whether or not a Christian-owned business would be bullied into submission by the elected oligarchs.

Mr. RomneyCARE would never be bothered with this -- or any other conservative issue.

Mr. RomneyCARE has an agenda, and this is so much against it.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Blah blah blah.

While I agree Romney isn’t the best candidate out there, he’s the richest, and very likely the most effective.

You are fighting the wrong side.

(IMHO)

[manc]

the homostapo has now got records which indicate that the top guy at Amway gave money to normal marriage and a cake maker out in CO refuses to make a cake for two guys who engage in fecal sex thus the homostapo has got a petition going and are outside his store intimidating people.

[Diogenesis]

Who cares if Mr. RomneyCARE is the richest?

He is not even conservative in principle (except for an attosecond of 'flipfloppery' occasionally).

Furthermore, Mr. RomneyCARE is far from the most EFFECTIVE.
