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.
Well, that’s a pretty funny way to twist the hypothetical onto its head. I doubt you’ll get him to respond, though.
BRAVO! but it won’t help since the OP is batsh*t crazy and I mean that.
Helen Thomas, now that is one nasty thought but if one does do that then it will show how strong ones conviction is.
The animosity and division I'm seeing here lately has me a bit dismayed, I'm seeing too many enemies being made here rather the good honest debate.
I hope you are well!
We are today witnessing the attempt to mainstream the notion that a man can marry another man. Is polygamy next?
***Yup, then man-boy-love, then bestiality, then fire&brimstone.
A few weeks ago when Rahm Emanuel and Thomas Menino announced they would try to obstruct Chick-fil-A from opening stores in Chicago and Boston, I like most of you, went absolutely berserk.
How could mayors of two major cities in the land of “Free Speech” possibly think they could interfere with a man like Dan Cathy’s business because he dared to speak his opinion? It made no sense. It was an affront to all things decent about this country.
Those basic tenants- Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Religion all of them- are what truly makes this country unique.
In the last few days, I have become obsessed with what I view as a total affront to Freedom of Religion in a couple of threads here on Free Republic. Mainly this one.
I don’t care what you believe about their doctrine, the people of the Mormon faith are peaceful and law-abiding. Therefore, I have no problem with them. They do not use their religion as a weapon and I have never felt as if they persecuted anyone- certainly not Jews.
As I have stated several times, I have always been a fan of Free Republic and Jim. I have made many “online friends” here and have followed the site for years- not only as a place to voice my opinion(s) but as a learning source and even a source for real, accurate news.
In the last few days, I have been very disheartened. I have felt sad for the Mormon members of this site and what it feels like for them to see their faith so maligned. I know that experience, and it isn’t fun.
While I don’t want to sever my ties with my many friends here, I cannot in good conscience stay on the site until perhaps this has had time to die down.
I have found another site, www.gopbriefingroom.com where conservatives will not be persecuted because of their religious beliefs and will hang out there for the time.
I will check in from time to time and hope that this- like other things that only serve to divide us, will pass and that reason will prevail.
Jim- you have always been one of my heroes.
Only the best-
The Jewish Pope
It's the FR-e

You said Goode and Hoefling did not qualify as ‘anyone’. Because they didn’t meet your qualifications. Go back to the original post I was pinged to.
Dred Scott was used to get your attention. It certainly succeeded in that purpose. That is another example of a case where people were determined to be, in this case, three-fifths of ‘anyone’, because they didn’t meet predetermined qualifications.
ABOs have a distressing habit of trying to dance and trying to pick the partners. They tell me that my third-party vote is really a vote for Obama, but their vote for Romney really isn’t a vote for Romney. Now you come along telling me that “anybody but Obama” really isn’t ANYBODY — including two people running for President who are a damnsight more conservative than Mitt Romney.
Point being: you don’t get to choose ‘anyone’.
So report me and get me zotted asshole.
You aren't in the accelerated reading group, are you?
I think the answer to that is probably, but I don’t know what age, so could be dementia. Definitely OCD. Check past posts:

Point to it.
These fanatics are sick. I thought those at DU were cracked, but geez! This thread takes the cake
I asked you to copy-and-paste my own words, and not to distort what I said. And, just as I expected, you did not copy-and-paste a single word of mine, and instead distorted what I said.
Well, let's see: executive order "repeal" / "waiver" is a horrible idea. Why?
Well, it's not a "repeal" in any sense, but a non-enforcement; this means that it can just as arbitrarily be rescinded and the states forced into supporting the mess.
As for "waivers" that idea is so repugnant and obviously-bad that I don't see how anyone could consider it a good thing. Like the above they can be arbitrarily rescinded, but even worse it is a defacto ceding of state's powers/sovereignty to the office of the President; that is a good idea to no-one except a statist.
