This is how we got McLame, and eventually Obama who fully supports all types of abortion.
Great job there...(sarcasm)
Not sure what to make of this, but it sounds like we’re turning on our own. Or, out of confusion and a feeling of impotence we’re purging our own because that’s all the power we feel we have left. No control over anything else, so let’s attack our own. I dunno.
Romney is “far left” and “radical”?
Maybe not everyone’s ideal but IMO, that’s just silly.
This is B.S. crap. It is turning on our own and I would not listen to anything ALan Keyes says or the guy that heads the “Independent” party. Idiots like these two morons is how the party was split and allowed Zero to walk into the Whitehouse. No thanks here.
There are people “inside the beltway” and “outside the beltway.”
The Human Events editor cited in this story is inside and those disagreeing are on the outside.
I’m no fan of Romney or Thompson, but I accept them in the room just the same.
The facts presented against them I don’t doubt, but do we go after Human Events about it.
This may be going too far in criticizing.
Are we going to do a news release about Ann Coulter’s “hidden liberalism” next?
Wow. A lot of names that I don’t recognize. And Alan Keyes, the idiot who helped give Obama his Senate seat. Yeah, I think I’ll listen to him.
Many of the posts on this thread are a vivid demonstration of several things:
1) Why it is so easy for a complete liberal fraud like Romney to take over the Republican Party, which he has already done.
2) Why ideologically shallow leadership in the so-called conservative movement matters.
This manifesto almost sounds like you are accusing Ann Coulter and David Limbaugh of being liberal.
A conservative movement being led by someone who endorses the Huckster?
Romney criticized the same sex marriage court decision publicly after it came down. Maybe he could have done more, but he could have done a whole, whole lot less. Considering how radically pro homosexuality the democrats are now, it is just plain crazy to go after Romney.
NICE: thanks for the info EV! (Btw I know personally one of the signers, surprise to me!).
Nice job at lining up the circular firing squad.
Instead of practicing the politics of division and subtraction, we should be engaging the politics of addition and multiplication.
Jeb Babbin is a good conservative and simply because you disagree with some of his characterizations and comments is no reason to flail him. You only expose your own intolerance and rigidness with such silliness.
I suggest, since the New York Times engages in 100X the wrong characterizations every day, that you go after THEM instead.
... or is the idea of actually attacking LIBERALS instead of other conservatives foreign to you?
Correct. The fascist Romney micturates on all Constitution when it pleases him.
"While former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney claims he did everything possible to throttle homosexual marriage in his state – his campaign now saying he took "every conceivable step within the law to defend traditional marriage" – several constitutional experts say that just isn't so.
"What Romney did [was] he exercised illegal legislative authority," Herb Titus said of the governor's actions after the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court released its opinion in the Goodridge case in 2003. "He was bound by what? There was no order. There wasn't even any order to the Department of Public Health to do anything."
Titus, a Harvard law graduate, was founding dean of Pat Robertson's Regent University Law School. He also worked with former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore, ...
Romney's aides have told WND that after four of the seven court members reinterpreted the definition of marriage, he believed he had no choice but to direct clerks and others to change state marriage forms and begin registering same-sex couples.
Some opponents contend that with those actions, Romney did no more or less than create the first homosexual marriages recognized in the nation. And Titus agrees."
"....But the court's decision conflicts with the constitutional philosophy of three co-equal branches of government: executive, legislative and judicial, Titus said. It also violates with the Massachusetts Constitution, which states: "The power of suspending the laws, or (suspending) the execution of the laws, ought never to be exercised but by the legislature..."
And it cannot even be derived from the opinion itself, asserts the pro-family activist group Mass Resistance, which says the decision did four things:
* First, it acknowledged that the current law does not permit same-sex marriage.
"The only reasonable explanation is that the Legislature did not intend that same-sex couples be licensed to marry. We conclude, as did the judge, that G.L. c. 207 may not be construed to permit same-sex couples to marry."
* Second, it said it is NOT striking down the marriage laws (among other things, the Massachusetts Constitution forbids a court to change laws)
"Here, no one argues that striking down the marriage laws is an appropriate form of relief."
* Third, it declared that not allowing same-sex marriages is a violation of the Massachusetts Constitution.
"We declare that barring an individual from the protections, benefits, and obligations of civil marriage solely because that person would marry a person of the same sex violates the Massachusetts Constitution."
* And fourth, given that the court is not changing any laws, the SJC gave the Legislature 180 days to "take such action as it may deem appropriate."
"We vacate the summary judgment for the department. We remand this case to the Superior Court for entry of judgment consistent with this opinion. Entry of judgment shall be stayed for 180 days to permit the Legislature to take such action as it may deem appropriate in light of this opinion."
After the Legislature did nothing during the 180 days, Romney then took action "on his own," the group said.
"Gov. Romney's legal counsel issued a directive to the Justices of the Peace that they must perform same-sex marriages when requested or 'face personal liability' or be fired," the group said."
Good grief. This is absurd.
Jed Babbin fought tooth and nail to keep Obama out of the White House. He’s been there for conservatives on illegal immigration, the bailout and countless other times. He’s a strong conservative and a very bright guy.
I’d rather have him watching my back any day than Alan Keyes.
I’m sorry, but there’s nothing that can have its credibility restored by putting Alan Keyes in charge.
No one can be perfect on all issues, but Babbin is great on the War on Terror, and is a leader in criticizing the UN and the EUnuchs. That’s why I support him.
BRAVO!
An ebbing tide exposes the alligators.
Drain the swamp.

Govt. funded abortions are practiced in some form in every state of the Union. Before Romney was Governor they were free. He forced the 80% Dem. legislature to compromise on the issue. They went over his veto but couldn't muster enough support for free abortions and had to settle for a co-pay fee. Romney forced them in the right direction.
Even in a conservative state like AK with a governor as great as Sarah Palin instant abortion pills are paid for with our tax dollars. Until Roe Vs. Wade is overturned at the Federal level there is not too much the states can do. Even the reddest of Red states and one of the most anti-abortion, South Dakota, couldn't get a ballot intiative passed on the issue. A Constitutional amendment would work but is technically a State issue as it requires ratification of 3/4 of states. If red SD and Alaska can't even get it done how can we really expect blue MASS to?

Governor Romney was presented with legislation concerning life issues on several occasions from the 85% majority Democrat Legislature in Massachusetts. In every instance he took the pro-life position by vetoing bills or lobbying for the pro-life approach, including the following actions: He vetoed the bill providing state funding for human embryonic stem cell research (Theo Emery, "Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney Vetoes Stem Cell Bill," The Associated Press, 5/27/2005)
He vetoed a bill that provided for the "morning after pill" without a prescription because it is an abortifacient and would have been available to minors without parental notification and consent (Governor Mitt Romney, Op-Ed, "Why I Vetoed Contraception Bill," The Boston Globe, 7/26/2005)
He pledged to veto any bill that would expand access to RU-486, the abortion pill (Hugh Hewitt, "Interview with Governor Romney," The Hugh Hewitt Show, 7/27/2005)
He vetoed legislation which would have redefined Massachusetts longstanding definition of the beginning of human life from fertilization to implantation (Governor Mitt Romney, Letter To The Massachusetts State
Senate And House Of Representatives, 5/12/2005) He supported parental notification laws and opposed efforts to weaken parental involvement (John McElhenny, "O'Brien And Romney Spar In Last Debate Before Election," The Associated Press, 10/29/2002)
He fought to promote abstinence education in public school classrooms with a program offered by faith-based Boston group Healthy Futures to middle school students. Gov. Romney's administration was the first in Massachusetts to use federal abstinence education funds for classroom programs. (Office of Gov. Mitt Romney, "Romney Announces Award of Abstinence Education Contract," Press Release, 4/20/2006)
