Except for his unfortunate go along to get along support of TARP, bailouts, stimulus spending and the increased credit limit, etc, Ryan is a pretty good choice. Probably the best choice of the RINOS that were on Romney's short list. I support Ryan for the vice presidency. Wish he were at the top of the ticket, though.
But I still cannot and will not support the grand father of ObamaCare. Romney still loves and brags about his bastard brainchild, RomneyCare, even today when he knows what an anti-liberty socialist POS it is.
And the fact that he advocated that abortion should be safe and legal in America for over three decades of his adult lifetime and even advocated that Roe v Wade should be supported and sustained as settled law precludes any consideration whatsoever by this pro-life Christian for Myth Romney for the presidency.
And the fact that he boasted that he would be better for "gay rights" than Ted Kennedy, and proved it just increases my resistance.
That, and his penchant for gun control, his continuing support for global warming, gays in the scouts, gays in the military, and his record of appointing liberal judges makes it all but impossible for me to support him.
Lastly, we're having a bit of changeover on our moderator staff. At least two moderators resigned this afternoon after I flatly refused to rein in a so-called anti-Mormon "bigot" on FR. Well, if being in opposition to false prophets and false prophecy makes a Christian believer a bigot, then I guess I'm a bigot. I've posted before that I flat do not believe that the Book of Mormon is the true word of God. Nor do I believe that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God. The Christian bible warns us to be weary of false prophets and that I am. Romney being the presumptive Republican nominee does not change that fact.
“There will come a day when Sarah Palin will be declared a RINO.”
I can’t recall the thread, but I’m pretty sure that already happened...or maybe it was the threat of that happening if/when she ever endorsed Romney. The stupidity is limitless.
and then there are the opusers. they are silly.

Not really, but it’s probably better to just fade into the sunset unless you want to go off and get the zot. The end result is the same....you leave FR for other sites that more share your views, sites where 4 more years of the Kenyan Commie are not acceptable.
I could care less what your opinion is.
You neglect that a (lot) will happen in the next four years.
A lot.
Several supreme court judges will retire. Four budgets are to be approved.
War may break out.
It is far too important a time to have Obama screwing things up for four more years.
No question. Romney / Ryan 2012.
Who in 2016 may be another question entirely. But for now Romney / Ryan.
No question.
I hate Obama’s guts and while I thought I was hardline, I am no longer certain that I can keep from voting against Obama

Who was the “true conservative” I the race. Again?
The religion of “Islam” has been forever maligned because a minority of zealots have screamed loud enough and long enough without the more moderate members of the faith calling them out.
Such will happen hear if ignorance and intolerance go unchallenged.
When the left attacks Christianity, they paint the entire faith with the same brush. The intolerant and confused are getting louder and louder while those who understand the message of the Christ remain silent.
Amazing to me how the extreme quotes the Old Testament to support their hatred, yet espouses the New Testament as the new truth. They tend to pick and choose Old Testament versus yet ignore the ones that don’t fit them!
I hope true, loving Christians do not let these mouths become the face of the faith. That would truly be sad.
I also called that person a zealot... and a bigot.

So did I, so did mods, and I stand by what I said. It is what it is.
Yes, in that I'm not perfect...
No, in that I'm already "in Christ" -- the place God wants us to be forever ... that same place
One of the apostle Paul's fave phrases was "in Christ"...and etymologically, "Christian" just means a "Christ" one
Christ is our perfection -- our righteousness -- says the apostle Paul (1 Corinthians 1:30)
So, yes, those in Christ still need to mature, still need to spiritually grow...yet God looks at those who are His as being in His Son
Funny, how palin and the tea party are not behind Romney ad Ryan to oust the communist ghetto thug Obama.
It’s the fanatical zealots who would not vote for Reagan were he running today that are out to lunch. don’t worry, I will do my best to get enough people to. Te polls to outnumber the ABRs and do the heavy lifting some of you expect the rest of us to do.
Amen. And thank you very much, Chaplain.
Bingo and WELL SAID!
Actually I just heard Palin state on Fox she was behind Romney / Ryan.
By names.
Where is your information coming from?
O.K. Diogenes, you have convinced me. I will stay home on November 6th and not vote for Romney due to his lack of conservative purity. I will not take responsibility for the Obama Supreme Court picks who may strip the 2nd Amendment from the constitution. I will not take responsibility for sky high taxes, 10 dollar gas, socialized medicine, a persecuted church, increased Islamic and social justice influence, the fairness in media act, and much , much more. I will spend the next four years cursing the Republicans for nominating a moderate and I will maintain my purity. (sarcasm off)

BRAVO and I second that, except the part about staying home, but I know you aren’t sitting it out either. ABO! Get the Kenyan Commie out!
