Amen to that. Equality under the law!

Romney and the elite RINO GOP establishment have either forgotten (or most likely) never believed in the following:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.— That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

— The Declaration of Independence, In Congress, July 4, 1776

“The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”

— The Ninth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution

“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

— The Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution

“In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem. From time to time we’ve been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else?”

— Ronald Reagan, January 20, 1981

Does anyone believe that Mitt Romney would deliver this?? The mainstream media is trying to do the Lucy/Charlie Brown/football play again - they praised McCain for his "maverick" stance but then turned savagely against him in the election, even going so far as to push the "Obama is post-partisan" theme. They are trying to use the same play with Romney - we aren't hearing squat about his religion, business background, or Romneycare, but they will be used as weapons in a general election. No more RINOs!!! Since we know that the Republican nominee is going to be savaged by the mainstream media, how about getting one who is actually a conservative. Romney isn't that guy.
