Two Republicans who know say McCain has settled on Mitt Romney as his running mate. Developing...

Get me shovel...Romney raised taxes/fees $700 MILLION in four short years and passed through a universal health care plan that is bleeding that state dry:

Shikha Dalmia, senior analyst at the Reason Foundation has the latest figures on RomneyCare, and they don’t look pretty.
“…premium increases of 12% for this year — double last year’s national average.”
“The state health-care bill for fiscal 2008-2009 is expected to touch $400 million — 85% more than originally projected.”
“Before the hike, the cheapest plan for uninsured couples in their 50s cost $8,200 annually. Now, unless government bureaucrats hand them an exemption, they might well find it cheaper to pay the penalty — up to half the price of a standard policy — than purchase insurance. That is, pay to remain uninsured. This is legalized extortion: TonySopranoCare.”
Trying to pass this RINO off as a conservative is either dishonest or delusional.
The study of Christian apologetics encourages Christians to confront Mormons on the Mormon threads. You may call it trashing Mormonism, when in fact it is defending Mormonism.
To them the Mormon religion and Romney are one and the same.
Its still there. They just moved it to the bottom of the page.
Oh, I’ve read the threads. The behaviour of Chritians on those threads is appalling. They routinely trash MORMONS and their faith. But you can rationalize and call it anything you want.
We disagree and strongly. I suggest you read all about Romney and his stand and record on social issues on Freeper Unmarked Package’s homepage. It’s a great place to begin to discover the truth about Romney.
1. Mitt came from a liberal state. Ted Kennedy is proof enough.
2. Mitt Governed like a liberal in a most liberal state. State Mandated Health care dropped on his desk, and he followed the law. Abortion is legal, so he never shut down a clinic.
Supreme court declared Gay marriage legal, and he was not elected dictator to burn the Mass. constitution. (Just as a French chef would cook like an Italian when working in an Italian restaurant. You cook with the ingredients you have in the kitchen you are in. Change the menu and management fires you.)
3. Your state, Massachusetts, is still communist even though Romney is no longer governor. Ted Kennedy, Dukakis, Kerry. You dont like it, and neither do I.
“”What is it that inspires professors of Christianity generally with a hope of salvation? It is that smooth, sophisticated influence of the devil, by which he deceives the whole world”
- Prophet Joseph Smith, Jr., Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 270”
Quite prophetic considering the stuff coming from the Archbishop of Cantebury, the Swedish Lutheran Church as well as many, many protestant ministers in the US who do not hold to the Bible’s teachings on marriage, divorce, childbearing, etc. any more.
The cognitive dissonance of these folks is amazing. This is a thread about a potential VP candidate; not a thread about Mormonism. Yet the “Christian” apologetics bash Mormonism on the thread rather than discuss the substantive merits of Romney as a potential VP.
These folks aren’t merely content to trash Mormonism. They want to disenfranchise Mormons by marginalizing them and eliminating them from the public square.
Guess to Wilke, money talks, fetuses walk...
New tagline...
Still on the “religious bias” kick, I see. Just like criticizing Obama makes a person a racist, right ? You libs are SOOOOOOOOOOOOO predictable.
We are electing a President. T
he intricacies of Mormon-Fundamentalist theological arguments PALE before the prospect of a Closet Muslim sitting in the White House.
It’s a great place to read a lot of pro-Slick propaganda and revisionist history, you mean. ;-)

Thanks, but I'll pass on reading Romney spam. All I need to do is watch is his debate performances from Mass when he ran for governor and senator. Those clips are devastating for a candidate who now claims to be pro-life.
Who turned it into that?
The 'mormon' religion manages to trash itself; with it's own publications; quite well without needing any additional HATERS to chime in.
I, however, am quite willing to expose heresy any time I find it; and, it is foundational to the MORMON Organization®.
Don Carcieri comes from a Democrat state adjacent to Massachusetts. How is it he can govern like a Conservative Republican, and get reelected ? You see, we need leaders like THAT on the ticket. A pro-life Catholic with ethnic appeal and IMPECCABLE anti-illegals credentials.
I hear the excuse “Slick had no choice, it was the legislature’s fault, it was the courts fault, it was Ted Kennedy’s fault.” Nope. The buck stopped with Slick Willard as the Chief Executive of the Commonwealth. Enough excuses. He failed as a leader, except for his banner success in giving 100% control to the Democrat party of state and federal government. 2007 was the first year since the founding of the party in 1855 that the Republicans won ZERO offices state or federal. His parting gift. What will his parting gift be to the nation if he becomes President with a solid rodent Congress ? Well, he’ll have to govern like a liberal just like he did in Mass ! Appoint lib judges like he did, sign Socialist legislation, and on and on... Is this what you guys REALLY want ?
No one FORCED Mitt to make those OATHS in the Temple!
