Mitt Romney at the Western Wall

Unlike the party’s 2008 platform, the Democrats 2012 platform does not specifically mention Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and now Mitt Romney is firing back.
“It is unfortunate that the entire Democratic Party has embraced President Obama’s shameful refusal to acknowledge that Jerusalem is Israel’s capital,” Romney said in an e-mail to reporters.
Mitt Romney at the Western Wall
In 2008, the Democratic platform stated: “Jerusalem is and will remain the capital of Israel. The parties have agreed that Jerusalem is a matter for final status negotiations. It should remain an undivided city accessible to people of all faiths.”
Earlier this year, White House Deputy Press Secretary Josh Earnest stated “the capital [of Israel] is something that should be determined in final status negotiations between the parties. I’d remind you that that’s the position that’s been held by previous administrations, both Democratic and Republican.”
The Jerusalem Embassy Act, which calls for Jerusalem to be recognized as the capital of Israel, was passed by Congress in 1995 but has never been implemented. Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and now Barack Obama have viewed it as a congressional infringement on the executive branch’s constitutional authority over foreign policy.
“Four years of President Obama’s repeated attempts to create distance between the United States and our cherished ally have led the Democratic Party to remove from their platform an unequivocal acknowledgment of a simple reality,” Romney’s statement read on Tuesday. “As president, I will restore our relationship with Israel and stand shoulder to shoulder with our close ally.”

“Instead of hating on Romney, it’d be better to pray that he comes to true saving faith in Jesus, and to pray for our leaders and our country.”
This is really, though, what the defense of Mormonism and the push for normalization of a known religious cult is all about. It has nothing to do with the truth or the lie of a particular claim. It’s all politically based, and so you make the assumption it’s politically based for someone else. If Mitt Romney had been a Christian Scientist, those weirdos, instead, would be the ones getting accused of being Christians. And the other fellows on here, attacking me personally, would be singing apologetics for Mary Baker Eddy.
You gals are sobbing uncontrollably right now watching Michelle Obama, you go girls!
It is difficult to present truth to people who do not know any Truth.
RC you are doing God’s Work, and I thank you.
The road is narrow, the road is dangerous.
I would rather give my life that one be Saved, than see one perish.
No, I am not trying to replace Jesus Christ, I just weep for the unSaved.
I am sadden, that mormonism will be elevated and more will perish.
Thanks, RC for your work.
Many have been Saved from mormonism on FR, because of the exposure, my hope is that more will follow.
ahh, No I am watching Big Bang Theory.
I really do not know what you are talking about.
I suppose that is the ONE benefit with those who are pushing the big lie on Mormonism. They provide more opportunities to expose what Mormonism actually is.
Look svcw, I know that for ladies like you and raisingCain tonight is a special night because you got to hear your first lady. Protecting your right to chose is so very important to you ladies because after all it is your body so enjoy your night but don’t drink to many Vanilla Vodka’s, posting starts early on the east coast!
Dude...Matthew 7:1.
Israel knows their Capital City is Jerusalem. Foreign embassies are located in Capital cities...why is ours located in Tel Aviv.
Research that, and perhaps your posts will exhibit a more educated stance.
Cheers!
Show once where I said abortion was ok.
I will say it again you are insane.
You make these hideous claims against all sorts of posters, yet provide zero evidence of your claims.
So here is my challenge to you, either show a post where I said was under any circumstances acceptable or STFU.
No, I will say it again you are insane or delusional or just plain stupid........nah I am going with just stupid.
It might serve you to actually know scripture before you try and preach.
God has commanded that Christians call out false teachings and prophets.
Until you understand that, it’s better that you remain quiet.
RC look me up at the Pearly Gates, we are in for a wild ride the next four years no matter what happens.

Again, I ask a source for your claim.
You made it prove it.
Yup. They’ll vote Obama 8 out of 10. Again.
Sorry, I responded to you when I should have not.
I violated my own rule of reading posting history before I respond.
I really really really should have in your case.
There is not a single reasoned response to anyone, that makes any sense whatsoever.
Apparently you have no original thoughts, just blather.
