Interesting. I'm willing to let politicians say some bad things, as long as they do the right thing. I wonder what his answer will be to this one? No question that the mess in Massachusetts has undermined our whole culture.

Wow, Romney must really have them worried. People are using a lot of energy and ink against him.

Nobody ever writes such things about candidates who have no chance.

$10 says he was blackmailed.

Up to you to guess why.

“untethered to either the Massachusetts or United States Constitution.”

That certainly describes Romney's actions, as I've been saying all along.

These people weren't even going to vote for Romney anyway. Why even waste their time with this? When the primaries heat up, the truth will eek out sooner or later, and then you can vote against Romney til you bleed.

All this does is reinforce the knuckle-dragging stereotype of the conservative movement.

I for one, would never vote for Romney.

If the GOP can't provide a real conservative for election.
Guess I'll sit this one out!

Right. Sit it out and you will get the same sh@@ only worse than now. Wake up, pal. A Republican is better than all three branches of liberals. It's this kind of thinking that got us the loss of the House and Senate.

If you do that, PLEASE don't post here complaining about Hitlery or whatever socialist wacko becomes President or Senator or Governor in your State.

My reading comprhension skills are pretty good, but I'm having a pretty hard time deciphering that post.

If the party nominates Rudy McRomney, don't come complaining here when they lose.

The Republican coalition is a conservative one.

Give them the leadership they deserve, not Democrat party lite.

Omigosh!

This is a clever twist on what happened in Massachussets.

The Mass. Supremes did say that the current law allowed for same-sex marriage. The power that the Governor has in the Mass. Constitution is to decide cases of marriage if there is no legal guidance. The Supremes ordered that there was and that being the fact forced gay marriage on Massachussets.

I can't see how you can honestly say that Romney was actively promoting gay marriage. That is patently false!

Chalk this one up to yet another anti Romney political hit piece that most likely doesn't take facts into account.

Facts get in the way of too many people's ideology.

This is a piece of 'reporting' where one group decides what they want the outcome to be, then they try to figure out how to get there.

I'm just saying it's premature for the pro-life movement to be doing is. They act like conservatives need their hands held on who to vote for. I'm pretty sure conservatives will vote for the right person.

I would take Romney over Tom DeLay any day of the week.

Romney is a better conservative than Tom DeLay.

Give them the leadership they deserve,

And you consistently refuse to lead the tribe out of Egypt by letting us know just who that leader might be. Thus the tribe is transfixed by the golden calves personified by that the terrible trio of RINOism. Oh the horror, the horror.

Yes, well, when I read it more closely I saw that Mary Ann Glendon of Harvard Law School at first advised Romney to defy the court, but then changed her mind.

I have read quite a lot of her work. She is an acute legal scholar and a faithful Catholic. She's an adviser to the Vatican. So if she said that Romney had no grounds to defy the court, then most likely she was right. In any case, I would hesitate to trust this statement without knowing more.

It's never premature to point out when political leaders act in such a way as to gut our constitutional form of governance.

I could care less if Romney was running for president or not. These issues are at the core of whether our free republic will survive.

If we keep electing constitutional morons, at some point the incredible durability of this republic will reach the breaking point.

There you go... the people who write these hit pieces don't want you to think.

They want to stir up people into hysteria against Romney.

These Romney articles are to politics what the Duke case was to the lacross players.
