Amen, brother.
BTTT! Thank you very much!
Romney can be redeemed, as can anyone. Ryan will help.
Sadly true. I simply cannot violate my conscience and vote for Romney. You can put up with lesser faults in order to defeat a great evil, but you cannot support one intrinsic evil in order to avoid another. And Romney has a long record of intrinsic evil.
He was the PIONEER of gay marriage, the author of the first state gay marriage mandate forcing it on the voters. He was a pioneer of taxpayer-funded abortions disguised as “health care.”
There is absolutely no reason to think that he has changed and repented. A religious conversion? I think not, since he was already a Mormon bishop when he did those things.
Since he seems to have the RINO party nomination sewed up, we do indeed rely on God to straighten out this mess. Let us pray that God does not abandon our country for its sins. That’s about all we can do at this point: stand strong, pray, and refuse to give in to the evil that swarms around us.
Is that defeatist? I think not. Defeatist would be to give in and go along with the corrupt leaders of both parties, the press, the entertainment industry, and most of the educational establishment.
May God show us a leader or leaders whom we can follow and support.
That is the unalterable truth, Jim.
As shown by this map, where the union goons are held at bay, the economy is strong, even in spite of the Marxist policies now in effect:
Unionism, abortionism and homosexualism are the trio of evils that destroy not only our economy but our morality. Abolishing the minimum wage is another action that will rescue America from the brink. Boldness is needed now more than ever. Rebellion is brewing.
Romney’s weak non-statement about Chick-fil-A Day tells us plenty about him. He could have chosen to praise those of us who stood up to the Queer Mafia and supported religious freedom ... but instead he was worried about offending the perverts.
Romney will lock Ryan in the closet the monent he’s elected.
He’d first have to humble himself before God. Stranger things have happened.
Right On! Right On! Right On! Right On!

The only person I see with the ability to beat 0bama is Romney. I don't like the guy's past, either, but I think he is more manageable than 0bama. With the Republic this far gone, we don't have the luxury of picking the pure conservative candidate. There are none left in the race.
I will vote for Romney to disrupt the 0bama regime.
Romney made a good choice in picking Ryan as his running mate, but he has already let it be known he is in charge, he has his own ideas, etc. etc. Sounds to me like he won't be utilizing Ryan for anything more than window dressing. Obviously, he didn't learn anything from the McCain/Palin failed candidacy.
Even worse is that except for a handful of conservatives, the Republicans in Congress are also liberals. Some here think Romney as President can be reigned in with enough conservatives in Congress. But that's a pipe dream. There are plenty of candidates going around claiming to be conservative, but be assured they are not. They are puppets of the same liberal Republican hierarchy. Put them in office and it will be the same old, same old.
If we survive a Romney administration or an Obama dictatorship, the Republican party has to wither on the vine and replaced by a new conservative party.
Amen brother, Amen!!!
And let’s start with the Supreme Court itself. What John Roberts did to Obamascare is legitimized it. For that I would vote IMPEACHMENT in disgrace.
Everyone of those judges should stand investigation and as needed impeachment. Kagan, Sotomayor, Ginsberg, and Stevens all need to feel the wrath of the American People. They are NOT above review. And so on down the line to the US District Judges.
Repeal the 16th Amendment. Repeal the 17th Amendment.
Your program for Ole Mitt is impossible.
His selection of Ryan shows a lot more promise than I had expected.
Their election could very well produce many of the things you hope for. Their loss would be GUARANTEED to eliminate any chance of them being accomplished.
Just getting that shrew out of the White House is sufficient cause for me to vote for R/R even if I weren’t a huge fan of Ryan.
Romney has already stated that he’s perfectly fine with gay leaders in the scouts, gays in the military, gay adoption, and he himself ordered gay marriage to be the “law of the land” in Massachusetts, just like Roe v Wade that he advocated was settled law, even though neither were constitutionally enacted. In other words, he will duly enforce the unconstitutional leftist/homosexualist/unionist agenda from the White House. But ask him if he will strictly enforce the border? Or the constitution? And of course he is a Keynesian who believes that it’s the federal government’s responsibility to control the economy.
Can someone please point to the clause of the constitution that empowers the federal government to control the economy? The only control they legally have is to keep their noses out of areas that the constitution does not delegate to them and instead strive to keep federal spending, taxes and borrowing as low as is humanly possible.
Just abide by the constitution and leave the free economy to the free people!!
Your thinking is like refusing to throw water on a raging fire because you don’t like the color of the bucket.
There won’t be anything left after another four years of The Disaster or by the time you can get someone acceptable to you. You know how your namesake wound up.
Likewise for the 14th Amendment. Repeal it! And the enforcement of the 10th Amendment must begin now, with real teeth to guarantee State's Rights, a core underpinning of our Republic.
And just how are y'all going to get all this repealin' done?
Amendment repeal has to be done by ANOTHER AMENDMENT. (See: Prohibition.) An Amendment begins with a joint resolution of Congress. So that means the Senate has to be in liberty-friendly hands. It ain't.
And if a lot of you stay home rather than vote for Romney, the Senate is going to STAY in statist hands, and no repeal will be possible.
No, I don't like killing innocent babies. There's a difference.
