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!
I suppose that anyone who would be rude to the owner of this site wouldn't hesitate to be rude to me.
Well... it’s a lot like ‘Narf or Zort
That was certainly an intelligent reply. For an idiot.
I have learned for myself that Presbyterianism is not true.

It’s only the opinion of Romney. also...
Jim, your bigoted demogoguery is rather ugly.
(I detect incoming Brimstone!)
Perhaps you need some remedial MSM training. I mean, you seem to be almost absolutely clueless? The mainstream media folks were so desperate in 2008 to turn the campaign into a referendum on race; they somehow thought if only a partial black POTUS was elected, it'd "prove" to the world that "See, we're not a nation of racists, after all, as our campus profs have been preaching week in, week out about 'white privilege.'"
To the credit of the McCain campaign, they kept a lot of that nonsense out of the news segments and print of the MSM.
Now, insert Mythster Romney in place of McCain, and how would that have egged on that already desperate MSM? Why, the MSM would have turned the whole thing into an all-out, full-scale referendum on racism! And the door-opener to that? Because the Republican candidate, had it been Mythster Romney, would have focused on what tight associations he had up through age 30.
You just can't get around the fact that at age 30, Romney was a priestholding, tithing member of a church that was still (at that time) denying priestholder status to blacks. Why, that would have been the daily banner headline all Fall long. While Romney would have done better vs. Hillary than 'O' -- "better" doesn't mean winning.
...suffice it to say that Romney was the only one with a snowballs chance who could speak to both conservatives ... and the middle...and women... and some youth.... which is exactly what it takes to win. [edit35]
Already mention was made by other posters about "anti-Mormon" sentiment. But Gallup polling from 2 years ago showed that conservatives were 9% more likely to vote for an LDS POTUS candidate than liberals -- and 11% more likely to vote for an LDS candidate than moderates.
There's no way you can get around that. Nationally speaking, Romney's greatest appeal, vote block wise, was actually to conservatives (despite his waffling social issues stances). He certainly wasn't going to get the vote of liberals.
That left moderates -- the group least likely to vote for a Mormon, said Gallup! [Come on, use your head! Who pulled McCain thru the Republican primaries...it wasn't conservatives -- 'twas moderates]. Moderates didn't vote for Romney in the primaries; and independent moderates are part of the largest "no we're not going to vote for a Mormon POTUS" crowd.
Post 710 above.
Now what was that you were saying?
Freeplancer is both LDS and a lead Mittbot...
Funny thing is I see no personal attacks in ansell12 post to you, but a listing of Mitt's issues...
Same with the rest of us and our responses on this thread...
Yet we have exhibit "A" above...
Well like you said "up is down" etc. when it comes to Mitt and his team, at least you have that right...
The funny part is I did not comment to you. You just thought you were so important, that you had to but in. Next time I ping TIGERSEYE, that will be your cue to reply, until then, just but out if you don’t like what someone says BACK TO YOU.
Huh?
Sarah Palin, you mean. The only Republican who attracts crowds like a rock star.
"I know, tall order, but that's what it'll take to topple the media's darling... if that... So far, what I hear of Pence, he's my #1 choice... but it's early"
A House member isn't going to get the nomination. If Pence wanted the Presidency, he should've run for Governor of Indiana. We need someone who is NOT part of the DC crowd. Palin or Mark Sanford are the top two.
Not familiar with them
Oh yes, plenty of examples here of how kind you Romney bashers are to his supporters and/or facts and arguments in his favor.
What I see and have seen, as typified on this thread and countless others, is nothing but rhetoric being offered as attacks on Mitt Romney, accusations that amount to character assassination.
What is “conservative” about that? Rush Limbaugh is THE model conservative in our nation, and I never heard this kind of rhetoric from him.
No. Rush is going after the REAL enemy: the dem regime now in power.
You have sent me this before.
unless one is so ugly like that post 311 I have no qualms of anothers opinion so what!
Many here dont like when Obama does it yet many here are doing the same thing imagine that!
YEAH! Imagine THAT!
Gee you sure are ugly Diogenesis!
But possible not for long considering whose house this is an home they are “thumbing their nose” at...
AMEN!! Standing withyou...
This is an open forum. I know that must be a concept that is difficult for you but that’s the way it is. ANYONE who posts can expect to get a reply from ANYONE else. If you don’t like it you can leave. Got it?
Sounds of self-deflation...
