If Mitt Romney is in, I'm out!

Yeah, I know. Said some similar things about Bush in 2000. But at least he was pro-life, pro-family, etc, and thank God we supported him over the idiot All Green Gore.

Said similar things about McCain in 2008. But when asked the question "when does human life begin?," and he unabashedly stated, "At conception, of course," I had to take notice. Then when he announced Sarah Palin as his running mate, I decided to support her. I voted for Sarah (and the white haired old geezer that came along with the package).

But Romney is a NO go. And I don't care who this socialist, abortionist, homosexualist, constitution trampling bastard picks for running mate. If Romney's in I'm out!

G.O.P., R.I.P!

this is NOT the religion forum stop dragging your arguements from one forum to another!

The man in his personal life has always conducted his life as a conservative.

With the exception of people like the Clintons, Kennedys, Obamas and a few others, most liberals conduct their personal lives as conservatives. Myth governed as a liberal.

He should have run in Utah but it was really no challenge like Mass where at least trying to buck the system.

Myth COULD'T run in Utah, it would have been the end of his political career.

In Utah, Myth's Mormonism wouldn't have even been an issue (and it really wasn't on the national level either) and the conservative Mormons and non-Mormons in Utah would have immediately seen Myth for the liberal that he was. He never would have gotten the nomination.

So, Myth went to Massachusetts, ran as the liberal that he is and governed as the liberal that he is.

Just for that I will make it a point to stand my ground!

LOL you are amusing amd I am glad all this annoys you pee wees!

LOL you are amusing amd I am glad all this annoys you pee wees!

If you can't counter an argument, it's usually better to just ignore it.

[restornu]

with you, you got to be kidding been there done that!

[wagglebee]

What? How “private” is it when govt. plants a Planned Parenthood member as a permanent board member of overseeing RomneyCare? How “private” is it when govt expands abortion by paying for it as if it was a “medical” act.

****

How convenient you forget this things called Starry [sic] Decisis which Romney had to work around!

Stare decisis is a legal principle used by JUDGES, it has NOTHING to do with the executive or legislative branches.

The fact that the Supreme Court adjudicated infanticide DOES NOT mean that a governor has to appoint members of the largest abortionist group in the nation to a health care board.

[wagglebee]

I have no idea what you are talking about and I suspect you don’t either.

[restornu]

Really Stare decisis means also a law set in place before another came into office.

Even our FR mods use Stare decisis among themselves!:)

[TAdams8591]

You're wrong, Wagglebee, and you're speaking from ignorance. You've been listening to the Romney FROOFERS. Do YOUR OWN research and learn to think for yourself.

I can't imagine Ann Coulter supporting the candidate you described. Or myself for that matter. That's right, WE don't.

[restornu]

I have no idea what you are talking about and I suspect you don’t either.

I would not expect you too sense you cannot employ what you don’t have!

Absolutely correct. It seems to me to be a clear indication of his true sentiments regarding the issue.

Are RomneyBOTs all drugged?

Mitt Romney personally destroyed the Massachusetts Constitution (the oldest in the USA).

"Experts: Credit Romney for homosexual marriage"
"What he (Governor Bishop Mitt Romney) did was exercise illegal legislative authority'

"While former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney claims he did everything possible to throttle homosexual marriage in his state – his campaign now saying he took "every conceivable step within the law to defend traditional marriage" – several constitutional experts say that just isn't so.

"What Romney did [was] he exercised illegal legislative authority," Herb Titus said of the governor's actions after the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court released its opinion in the Goodridge case in 2003. "He was bound by what? There was no order. There wasn't even any order to the Department of Public Health to do anything."

Titus, a Harvard law graduate, was founding dean of Pat Robertson's Regent University Law School. He also worked with former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore, ...

Romney's aides have told WND that after four of the seven court members reinterpreted the definition of marriage, he believed he had no choice but to direct clerks and others to change state marriage forms and begin registering same-sex couples.

Some opponents contend that with those actions, Romney did no more or less than create the first homosexual marriages recognized in the nation. And Titus agrees."

"....But the court's decision conflicts with the constitutional philosophy of three co-equal branches of government: executive, legislative and judicial, Titus said. It also violates with the Massachusetts Constitution, which states: "The power of suspending the laws, or (suspending) the execution of the laws, ought never to be exercised but by the legislature..."

And it cannot even be derived from the opinion itself, asserts the pro-family activist group Mass Resistance, which says the decision did four things:

* First, it acknowledged that the current law does not permit same-sex marriage.

"The only reasonable explanation is that the Legislature did not intend that same-sex couples be licensed to marry. We conclude, as did the judge, that G.L. c. 207 may not be construed to permit same-sex couples to marry."

* Second, it said it is NOT striking down the marriage laws (among other things, the Massachusetts Constitution forbids a court to change laws)

"Here, no one argues that striking down the marriage laws is an appropriate form of relief."

* Third, it declared that not allowing same-sex marriages is a violation of the Massachusetts Constitution.

"We declare that barring an individual from the protections, benefits, and obligations of civil marriage solely because that person would marry a person of the same sex violates the Massachusetts Constitution."

* And fourth, given that the court is not changing any laws, the SJC gave the Legislature 180 days to "take such action as it may deem appropriate."

"We vacate the summary judgment for the department. We remand this case to the Superior Court for entry of judgment consistent with this opinion. Entry of judgment shall be stayed for 180 days to permit the Legislature to take such action as it may deem appropriate in light of this opinion."

After the Legislature did nothing during the 180 days, Romney then took action "on his own," the group said.

"Gov. Romney's legal counsel issued a directive to the Justices of the Peace that they must perform same-sex marriages when requested or 'face personal liability' or be fired," the group said."

Whatever can not talk to a fool Bye!

“Are RomneyBOTs all drugged?”

They may not be drugged, but they are definitely in denial.

[wagglebee]

Really Stare decisis means also a law set in place before another came into office.

It is a PURELY JUDICIAL term and even if it wasn't it still doesn't mean that he needed to appoint abortionists to a health care board.

[wagglebee]

Then show me where I’m wrong. Prove to me that Myth is just a conservative as the average conservative Mormon in Utah.

[Diogenesis]

"Whatever can not talk to a fool Bye!"

Yes, you may be a fool, but I would not have called you that.
Not surprisingly, when you were shown to be wrong again (post #553)
you decided to flee and hide under your rock.

Take care.

[wagglebee]

From the link you posted:

Since then, Romney and his family decided "we can believe as we want, but we will not force our beliefs on others on that matter."

This is NO DIFFERENT from Mario Cuomo's "personally opposed" or Clinton's "safe and legal and rare" statements.

Abortion IS murder and NOBODY who believes that would ever dream of saying that they won't force their anti-murder beliefs on others.

I know Rush is fair towards Romney as well as Hannity, Levin , Coulter, Ingram they all can't be wrong! In all due respect Cheers!

I'd say that Rush and Hannity have good reason to be "fair" towards Romney.

 

Bain Capital, Founded by Romney, Buys Clear Channel By: Jane Hamsher Thursday December 13, 2007 4:11 pm

Mitt Romney founded Bain & Co. in 1984, and today its spinoff -- Bain Capital -- is the third largest private equity firm in the country. Today they bought ClearChannel, a company that owns over 1100 radio stations and 30 TV stations.

This is why media consolidation issues are so important. One rich guy who wants to be president can buy a media empire overnight. Now of course, Romney will argue that he didn’t buy Clear Channel, his private equity company Bain Capital did. And of course, there is no conflict of interest because Romney doesn’t tell Bain Capital what to do as he’s no longer officially with the company.

Does anyone here really think Romney won’t use this pedestal to promote his candidacy, however subtly?

Rush Limbaugh Renews Long-Term Contract With Premiere Radio Networks And Clear Channel Radio As He Celebrates 20 Years On Air

LOS ANGELES, July 2, 2008 – Rush Limbaugh, who’s heard weekly by nearly 20 million listeners on about 600 radio stations nationwide, renewed his contract with Premiere Radio Networks and Clear Channel Radio, continuing syndication of The Rush Limbaugh Show many years into the future.

I'd opine that Rush and Sean are not inclined to bite the hand that feeds 'em.
