So they don’t endorse Annie, for endorsing Roomey? Fair enough. Who are they endorsing for endorsing who they are endorsing?

This isn’t Right To Life. Note the name.

This is a group set up in November of 2007 to attack Romney. That’s right, this group has a “history” of 2 months, and all they’ve done in their entire history is attack Mitt Romney. They are a 527 set up by somebody to take out Mitt Romney, and they targeted Iowa where Huckabee needed a win.

There “evidence” is the same stuff debunked here many times. Most of us have tried to just ignore them and hope they go away. Maybe we’ll get lucky and Ann Coulter will do the job.

I wonder if they are connected with Huckabee, or with Ron Paul.

This group seems to exist for two purposes.

one, to attack Mitt Romney (and any person who has endorsed him), and

two, to attack National Right to Life.

A look at their web site finds grand statements of principles, but only attacks on Romney and the National Right to Life committee, and conservatives who haven’t denounced those two.

Here is a quote from their web site attacking Ann and National Right To Life:
Ann seems to be unaware of the crisis of the RNC buying the unquestioned loyalty of National RTL (with actually money, and influence), and with NRTL affiliates commonly endorsing pro-choice candidates like Romney, because, "he might not be strongly pro-life, but he has the best chance of winning."

NRTL was the "impeccable voice" of the right to life movement when they endorsed Fred Thompson last year. Now we are posting stuff from a group that tears down the NRTL organization.

I agree with this. I also believe that we have absolutely no one in the Republican party to articulate the message of life that resonates with the electorate. It seems as if these folks are few and far between.

B1 Bob Dornan, imho, spoke very eloquently on protecting our unborn. I wish the GOP had some young up and comer that could just light it up at the podium. I’m not a one issue guy, but we just really lack the one individual that can articulate the whole CONSERVATIVE message.

I am certainly suspicious of Romney’s recent (proclaimed) change of heart on abortion. But he’s got such worthies as Robert Bork supporting him, which lends hope as to his SCOTUS/judicial picks. And don’t forget that NARAL was blasting Romney by the end of Romney’s gubernatorial term, claiming he’d run in ‘02 as “pro-choice” but that NARAL had been “betrayed.”

So we have a RTL group condemning Romney AND NARAL doing so. Interesting.

This is not NRTL...this is some other group, which seems to have been created last summer.

One objection of this organization is the exception for rape and incest (an exception I strongly disagree with as well).

Of course, that SHOULD mean they would be running ads against people like McCain. After all, McCain ALSO supports federal funding of embryonic stem cell research, and this group says on their web site that life begins at fertilization.

But they have NOT run any such ads, because they really don’t exist to push their view of the pro-life cause, just to attack Romney and the NRTL (which is Odd because NRTL did not endorse Romney).

American RTL appears to be little more than a Huckabee front group.

Right on target! Annie got her panties all in a twitter over Mitt and left her conservative principles at the door.

Abortion is only the tip of the iceberg on Romney. Go back and review his actions from 2002 until late 2005 when he decided to shift towards the presidency and it is hard to come away with an image any to the Right of the others.

Curtis, former chairman of the Colorado Republican Party.

Let's see, Colorado has a democrat governor, a democrat treasurer, and a largely democrat legislature. It looks as though Mr. Former Chairman was a little too busy picking fights with best-selling authors to do the job of advancing the Republican agenda (which is, I believe, pro-life).

It’s a toss up between McCain and Giuliani. Can’t decide which is at the bottom of my list. First one, then the other. And, of course, there are a couple other contenders to muddy up the race for the bottom.

LOL! Yeah. I know what you mean. The only lever I can pull on election night is the one sticking out of the front of my beer fridge. :D
