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.
I wish you’d refrain from posting pictures of yourself on a family forum.
Point proven. Thank you, studio audience volunteer.

Well stated! I and millions more will do the very same and hopefully live to fight another day!
***It appears that Free Reign has posted a very good way to filter out CINOs. In that respect, his post really IS well stated.

You remind me of the rapid liberals who go after conservative Blacks/African Americans who refuse to stay on the plantation. Your childish and disingenuous behavior is no different.
No, he can’t help himself. He hasn’t yet grown up.
Paul Ryan is one of the best we could have hoped for. He’ll be a great vote in the Senate as VP.
I gave the Mormon missionaries a full hearing as I have with several religions, and read through their Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants and the Pearl of Great Price - but I didn’t buy into it. (I’m Catholic)
Although I can’t agree with Mormon doctrine, I really admire them in general.
I’ve served with people of many faiths during a quarter century in the Army and three wars. My direct experience with the Mormons that I have known has been that they tend to be exceptionally good individuals. Honest, well meaning Ozzie and Harriet types like the Osmonds. I’ve been by impressed how they really practice what they preach concerning their personal morality and family life, unlike many of other faiths who are regular church goers but have closets full of personal indiscretions when you get to know them. Mormons are renown within the military and intelligence community for passing their polygraphs with flying colors. Those I’ve known have been honorable people - fine citizens and great neighbors.
If you judge a religion based on how much it helps its adherents to lead holy lives, LDS has been very effective for a lot of people. They make great Americans.
I find it laughable that many of the folks that boast they are not voting for Romney also live in states where they claim their vote "doesn't count".
What an empty, meaningless, sordid boast.
If they were REALLY as Conservative and cared as much as they claim to, they would move to a state where their vote COUNTED. But, noooooo, they'ed rather take the easy way out...sitting around complaining because the 'botts don't subscribe to their particular strain of pure Aryanism Conservatism.
Oh, I know, believe me. Worthless gaggle of McCains and Murkowskis, the whole sorry, stunted lot of 'em.
"Moderate" Republicans are in no way, shape or form even remotely conservatives; simply hard core, doctrinaire social liberals who really, really enjoy the occasional tax cut. ;)
It’s you who don’t get it.
***Look how dense you are. I guess I’ll have to spill it out for you.
You’ve got two choices: 1) saltine or 2) Ritz.
***So when we point out that they’re both 99% flour & salt, we’re the crazy ones? Flour = librulism; salt = socialism. We don’t WANT it in EITHER candidate. Voting for a librul doesn’t make you a conservative. It makes you a reed-in-the-wind-republican.
That's all right, twink. You remind me of last night's dinner, this morning.
*PLONK*
Would you really care if you were zotted?

I’ve just been posting elsewhere, exposing the Kenyan on lots of other sites. It makes me realize the Mormon Romney haters here are such a teeny tiny small majority. 99.9% of the rest don’t give a crap about his religion.

Well, thanks....
I really don’t like losing the respect I have had with so many great FReepers, but it is what it is.
Obama has got to go... whatever it takes.
