In Case You Don't Like Romney... A Challenge To Every FReeper
email from friend

Posted on 06/13/2012 2:03:43 PM PDT by MindBender26

In Case You Don't Like Romney...

Columnist Andrew McCarthy gives us what probably is the most important question regarding the upcoming presidential election …

“If Romney wins the nomination, as seems very likely, I will enthusiastically support his candidacy. For my friends who may have hesitation on that score, I’d just ask you to keep four things in mind:

1.. Justice Scalia just turned 78

2.. Justice Kennedy will turn 78 later this year

3.. Justice Breyer will be 76 in August

4.. Justice Ginsburg turned 81 about a week ago and has had cancer twice.

Whoever we elect as president in November is almost certainly going to choose at least one and maybe more new members of the Supreme Court — in addition to hundreds of other life-tenured federal judges, all of whom will be making momentous decisions about our lives for decades to come.

If you don’t think it matters whether the guy making those calls is Mitt Romney or Barack Obama, I think you’re smokin’ something funky….”

So for anybody who is thinking of not voting because your favorite didn’t get nominated, or writing in a candidate who can't win ... just imagine this possibility:

'SUPREME COURT JUSTICE ERIC HOLDER'

Did that get your attention!

Geez, you’re exposing my ignorance because I’ve never read The Hobbit.
Shameful, I know.

If I knew how to make a link, I’d link you to Tom’s website. Google will get you there and when you read his platform and positions, you’ll see why I recommend him.

I think he’s legitimate and I don’t think he’s designing his positions to pander. That’s what I like about him.

I trust him.

Obama would have no power at all if it were not given to him by God.

Not to obama but the office of presidency - God gives voters free will as to who we want to lead our country. So there are more godless than good in this world, the moral fabric of this country has been going down consistently for years - and that's not rocket science to know that. There are those who consider themselves Christians who voted for Obama. They aren't Christian, any more the cult leader Romney is. It is the godless of the world (which includes the media) who put obama into office and the godless again who wants to keep this nation under evil and not under God. They will get the misery they are fearful of - without God we are NOTHING, just like any other commie/socialistic or 3rd world country.

And it reeks of hypocrisy because none of them will admit they are voting for Obama, which it’s obvious that they are.

You keep repeating that prattle with zero evidence or proof.

You also keep repeating you are a conservative but are happily promoting Romney who is: pro homosexual agenda, pro abortion, pro government mandates, pro taxing the wealthy more, pro welfare, pro government health care, anti conservative, anti Reagan, pro amnesty....no I am not going to provide links this information has been posted hundreds of times over the last five years.

This claim of yours that you are a conservative falls flat.

LOL! What a great response!!! GOOD ONE!

Windy, if you haven't had a chance to read this thread ... at least read Reset's extraordinarily apropos answer to a "huge Palin supporter" back when.

Pray for a miracle. I'm praying that the Almighty vanquish Mitt Romney before this November and elevate a limited government Republican in his stead.

on top of everything else believes that God is just one of a gazillion gods who meet every once in a while on the planet Kolob and vote to exalt some more gods.

I generally don't give much thought to mormonism but that's kind of interesting since the Fabians believe that they're gods in the making.

One example of a Fabian socialist is Tony Blair. A nice enough guy who does the right thing occasionally but on balance, not the type you really want running the world. He was standing next to George Soros when the Fabian Window was rededicated at the London School of Economics.

It never hurts to ponder the meaning of the Babian shield.

No, please forgive; my response was flippant but not meant to denigrate you. I saw Tom Hoefling’s name and, not being familiar with him, thought of Tom Bombadil and the “halflings”, otherwise known as hobbits.

All of this goes back to the 60’s when everyone was reading that stuff. Actually, they still do go to see the movies and buy them.

“You think ABO is the best way to deal with it; I think ABO is avoiding dealing with it altogether. “

Money sentence. I think you have encapsulated the divide on FR in one sentence. Good job.

I am in agreement with you. The problem isn’t Obama. The problem is the RINOs in our Congress, who are ball-less, non-conservatives, who will not stand up to Obama because they favor a lite version of all he believes. In RINOmney, they have a pied piper who can lead them to RINO-National-Healthcare (including $50 abortions), RINO-Civil-Unions, etc. THAT is what I believe is the greater threat.

The cry of ABO assumes that solves the biggest issue. It does not. I prefer having the enemy who isn’t one of ours over the enemy who is inside the camp and to whom allegiance is given.

Good post.

There's a thread at F.R. with multiple thousands of posts and ongoing yet today, called the "Hobbit Hole".

It may have started out about Hobbits, I don't really know but now they talk about everything.

It is really sad and strange when a conservative (me) who has been here longer than anybody and who has always been conservative is viciously attacked because she is supporting Romney.

NAW...you are being singled out because FReepers don't like to be stalked...and having a "snitch" list is stalking, no doubt about it.

Bragging about having a "snitch" list is just plain stupidity.

BTW, Romney has taken this oath in the mormon temple numerous times....I suppose that's just fine with you.

You and each of you covenant and promise before God, angels, and these witnesses at this altar, that you do accept the Law of Consecration as contained in the Doctrine and Covenants, in that you do consecrate yourselves, your time, talents, and everything with which the Lord has blessed you, or with which he may bless you, to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, for the building up of the Kingdom of God on the earth and for the establishment of Zion”.

Law of Consecration

http://www.ldsendowment.org/terrestrial.html

Mormon’s covenant to put the church before ALL things.

So, you’re saying “Begone from this thread and go elsewhere right now”?
