It is one of the things I most despise about this rino, Willard and his supporters. Were is the leadership, where is the plan, I damn sure don't want to see more of the whinny liberal positions taken when he was governor. Dyed hair and BS, just like the Huckster.

Very thoughtful conservative evangelical endorsement of Mitt Romney. Worth a read.
I am a conservative and an evangelical pastor. There is nothing about Romney’s history that qualifies him to be the Republican nominee.
The same is true of the other candidates except for Thompson, now that Hunter has dropped out.
Romney has said the following at various times and places -

“My hope is that, after this election, it will be the moderates of both parties who will control the Senate, not the Jesse Helmses.” - Source
“In my view, it is not a good idea to go into a [Contract With America] like what was organized by the Republican Party in Washington, laying out a whole series of things which the party said, ‘These are the thing’s we’re going to do.’ I think that’s a mistake.” - Source
“Look, I was an independent during the time of Reagan-Bush. I’m not trying to return to Reagan-Bush.” - Source
“I remember in my earliest political experience my father fighting to keep the John Birch Society from playing too strong a role in the Republican Party. He walked out of the Republican National Convention in 1964, when Barry Goldwater said, ‘Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice.’ Because he saw that as a tacit approval of the effort the John Birch Society was making to influence the Republican Party. I think that extremists who would force their views on the party and try to shape the party are making a mistake.” - Source
“We do have tough gun laws in Massachusetts. I support them. I won’t chip away at them. I believe they help protect us and provide for our safety.” - Source
“Deadly assault weapons have no place in Massachusetts. These guns are not made for recreation or self-defense. They are instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people.” - Source
“I don’t think [The Brady Bill’s mandated waiting period] will have a massive effect on crime but I think it will have a positive effect.” - Source
“I don’t line up with the NRA.” - Source
“I’ve been a hunter pretty much all my life.” - Source
“I believe that abortion should be safe and legal in this country. I have, since the time when my mom took that position when she ran in 1970 as a U.S. Senate candidate. I believe that since Roe v. Wade has been the law for 20 years, we should sustain and support it. I sustain and support that law and the right of a woman to make that choice.” - Source
“I think it would be a positive thing to have women have the choice of taking morning-after pills….I would favor having it available.” - Source
“There will be children born to same-sex couples, and adopted by same-sax couples, and I believe that there should be rights and privileges associated with those unions and with the children that are part of those unions.” - Source
“All people should be allowed to participate in the Boy Scouts regardless of their sexual orientation.” - Source
Good points from the article:
“If we leave the social and moral issues for a moment, and look to the fiscal side of things, Mitt Romney comes out even farther ahead of his competition from a conservative point of view. On the Democratic side all 3 candidates want to repeal the Bush tax cuts, returning to the former, and higher tax rates. They also want to stop a border fence and legalize the 12 million illegal aliens here now. Social programs would also skyrocket. On the GOP side, Senator McCain has opposed President Bush’s tax cuts on more than one occasion, and he co-authored the McCain/Feingold legislation which has given groups such as Moveon.org and the numerous other George Soros, 527 groups, their power. He also co-authored the McCain/Kennedy immigration bill, which would legalize the 12 million or so illegal aliens in our country. While Rudy Giuliani does support President Bush’s tax cut plan, he did raise taxes in New York City and made it a sanctuary city for illegal aliens. Governor Huckabee raised taxes numerous times as governor of Arkansas, and has a terrible record on immigration. He even went so far as to offer instate tuition to the children of illegal aliens.
Mitt Romney’s record on the other hand, stands in stark contrast, particularly to Senator McCain’s and 2 of the Democrats, each of whom have spent the bulk of their lives in public office. Governor Romney spent most of his life in the private sector building businesses. He is also responsible for saving and making a great success of the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics. For those who have forgotten, these Olympics were doomed to failure, due to corruption and financial problems, when Mitt Romney was asked to take over. They turned out to be one of the most successful Winter Olympics ever. He not only made the games a success, but also built lasting facilities that the state of Utah is still reaping tourism benefits from today.”
“So how would I come to the conclusion that Governor Romney is the best guy, especially since I studied cult apologetics, in seminary, under the late Dr. Walter Martin? For those who do not know or remember him, Dr. Martin was author of “The Kingdom of the Cults,” which is the bible of cult apologetics. He also founded and hosted the syndicated radio program “The Bible Answer Man.” Oh, and Walter was also my Sunday School teacher for 2 years.”
Dear Mr. Huff,
You should have listened to Dr. Martion more. It was Martin’s works that convinced me of the danger Mormonism poses, and I cannot imagine ever putting an active & dedicated Mormon in high office.

From the article:
>In Mark 9:38-40 we find something very interesting. I think it gives us a view of what Jesus might say on this subject as he had a similar situation arise on a question of faith.
>”Teacher,” said John, “we saw a man driving out demons in your name and we told him to stop, because he was not one of us.”
>”Do not stop him,” Jesus said. “No one who does a miracle in my name can in the next moment say anything bad about me, for whoever is not against us is for us.”
>Maybe Mitt Romney’s theology is not right, and as the late Rev. Jerry Falwell said about him shortly before his death, “we are not being asked to vote for a Bishop. I could not vote for a Mormon as Bishop, but I think I can vote for a Mormon as President.” Should we tell him to stop trying to heal our land or drive demons out of it because “he is not one of us?”
>Let us go beyond the religion to the faith. Religion is reactionary and full of fear while faith is full of vision, hope and promise. Do not accept my words, or anyone else’s words at face value, rather seek the truth for yourselves. I trust that as you seek the truth you will find it.
