Mark Levin to Romney: Not ‘Standing Up’ for Chick-fil-A Is Wrong
http://www.newmax.com ^ | August 6, 2012 | Paul Scicchitano

Posted on 08/07/2012 6:49:05 AM PDT by NKP_Vet

Conservative radio talk show host Mark Levin lashed out at GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney for not “standing up” for Chick-fil-A and demanded that the former Massachusetts governor pick a conservative to be his running mate.

“We want a little bit more than crumbs,” Levin asserted on Monday’s show. “We want a conservative running mate and we want some conservatives who have real speaking time at prime time.”

Levin said he continues to be “very concerned” about Romney, particularly with the candidate’s public reticence in recent days to join conservatives who have made statements and appearances on behalf of the embattled fast-food chain.

Whatever.

I keep hoping Romney will appoint Palin as VP.

Then we can get you off the GOP bashing.

And win.

This was about freedom of religion, freedom of association as well as free speech. And if I thought for one minute the other side was interested in an honest discussion regarding these issues, I would have wanted Romney to engage them. They aren't so he shouldn't.

Mark Levin is of course 100% right

Yep. This was a perfect time for Romney to make a stand for conservative principles. If I were advising Romney, I would have told him to go get a Chick-fil-A sandwich last Wednesday. Or better yet, buy a franchise and hire some unemployed folks to get the store up and running.

You should read the First Amendment. Leland wrote something that compasses freedom to think and believe.

Sure, he had to deliver the idea in chunks, but that's only because everybody wasn't as smart as Leland.

No. This was about DEFENDING conservative issues.

Mr. RomneyCARE never has. NEVER.

Even when liberals PLEAD to Mr. RomneyCARE,
conservatives remain under the Romney bus:


"National Guard Lt. Anthony Circosta poses in his backyard in Agawam, Mass., on June 9, 2007.
At left, his wife Danielle and daughter Kylie, 2, talk near the swing set. Circosta,
a decorated Iraq War veteran, seemed like an ideal candidate for a pardon from
then-Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney for the 29-year-old's boyhood conviction
for a BB gun shooting. Romney denied the pardon,
twice, despite the recommendation of the Governor's Council.
"

Also under the Romney bus:

"Governor Mitt Romney, who touts his conservative credentials to out-of-state Republicans,
has passed over GOP lawyers for three-quarters of the 36 judicial vacancies he has faced
,
instead tapping registered Democrats or independents -- including two gay lawyers who
have supported expanded same-sex rights, a Globe review of the nominations has found.
Of the 36 people Romney named to be judges or clerk magistrates, 23 are either registered Democrats
or unenrolled voters who have made multiple contributions to Democratic politicians
or who voted in Democratic primaries, state and local records show.
In all, he has nominated nine registered Republicans, 13 unenrolled voters,
and 14 registered Democrats."
- Boston Globe 7/25/2005


Romney Rewards one of the State's Leading Anti-Marriage Attorneys by Making him a Judge
Romney told the U.S. Senate on June 22, 2004, that the "real threat to the States is not the
constitutional amendment process, in which the states participate,
but activist judges who disregard the law and redefine marriage . . ."
Romney sounds tough but yet he had no qualms advancing the legal career of one
of the leading anti-marriage attorneys.
He nominated Stephen Abany to a District Court.
Abany has been a key player in the Massachusetts Lesbian and Gay Bar Association which,
in its own words, is "dedicated to ensuring that the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court decision
on marriage equality is upheld, and that any anti-gay amendment or legislation is defeated."
- U.S. Senate testimony by Gov. Mitt Romney, 6/22/2004 P>


"Romney announces he won't fill judicial vacancies before term ends
Despite his rhetoric about judicial activism, Romney announced that
he won't fill all the remaining vacancies during his term - but instead
leave them for his liberal Democrat successor!

Governor Mitt Romney pledged yesterday not to make a flurry of lame-duck
judicial appointments in the final days of his administration . . . David Yas,
editor of Lawyers Weekly, said Romney is "bucking tradition" by resisting the urge to
fill all remaining judgeships. "It is a tradition for governors to use that power to appoint judges
aggressively in the waning moments of their administration," Yas said.
He added that Romney has been criticized for failing to make judicial appointments.
"The legal community has consistently criticized him for not filling open seats quickly enough
and being a little too painstaking in the process and being dismissive of the input of the
Judicial Nominating Commission," Yas said.
- Boston Globe 11/2/2006


“The Massachusetts Republican Party died last Tuesday.
The cause of death: failed leadership.

The party is survived by a few leftover legislators
and a handful of county officials and grassroots activists
who have been ignored for years.
Services will be public and a mass exodus of taxpayers will follow.
In lieu of flowers, send messages to Republican voters
warning them about a certain presidential candidate named Romney.”
- Boston Herald, 11/12/2006


"In 2006, while Romney was chairman of the National Republican
Governors Association - a group dedicated to electing more
Republican governors - his own hand-picked Republican successor
as governor lost badly to the Democrat, despite the fact that Republicans
have held the governorship in Massachusetts since 1990. Romney largely
ignored the Massachusetts elections and spent most of the time
during the campaign out of state building his presidential campaign.
He came back and publicly campaigned for the Republican candidate
the day before the general election!
“Locally, this is a rebuke to Mitt Romney and checking out within six months
after being elected and having accomplished almost nothing,”

[Jim] Rappaport [former chairman of the state Republican Party]."
- Boston Globe, 11/8/2006

As President he would be obligated to protect and defend the Constitution.

I'm sorry, it appears that's not part of his campaign~!@

He's not part of mine either.

Yes, buy at stores whch the homostapo boycotts and boycott those places which come out ushing the lefty agenda.

Starbucks, Home depot, Amazon, Google and Target are massive contributers to the lefts agenda and the homosexual agenda.

It’s sad that the country has come to this but the fact is that in the last few years and especially the last 3 years those who engage in fecal sex have now pushed their agenda into our faces and we can either back down or stand up like those who have stood up before us.

Yeah, and Mark also said that Reince Priebus and the RNC are currently hiding from him and refusing to return his producer's phone calls.

Moral cowards all of them!

Romney apparently had no problem saying that he supported homosexuals in the Boy Scouts. I cannot believe he will be our nominee.
