...The Republican Party now has a nominee, the former Governor of my home State as a boy, Massachusetts. I must vote to discharge my duty as a faithful Catholic citizen. I will not waste my vote. I cannot vote for the current President. I will do everything I can to see he is not reelected. His leadership in the White House has demonstrated he is no friend of life, marriage and the Family and the society upon it, Religious Liberty and many other foundational causes to which I have dedicated my life. In fact, I worry for the future of our Nation, and the freedom of my Church, if he is reelected. So, I have been following Mitt Romney very closely since his nomination became a foregone conclusion.
...It is July and I am back again; this time to commend the courage of Mitt Romney. I write about Mitt Romney's address to the NAACP on Wednesday, July 11, 2012. If you have read many media reports you were fed propaganda posing as journalism. Before the speech could even be digested, the usual sources were panning, mocking, and berating the candidate. They accurately noted that his comments opposing the Affordable Care Act met with boos. However, they did not mention the applause he received at other points of the address, or at the end. Though I normally only post short portions of video clips before my articles, I am posting the entire address for my readers. Listen to it; it will be worth your while...

Its hard to believe there is literally zero honor and courage with almost all black people..
Almost no intelligence either.. and zero honor..
The american black culture has has almost all their honor and courage sucked out of them..
Hard to believe this can be done to a whole race of people in the United States..
other foreign blacks this is not so.. until they have become Americanized..
Could be happening with Americanized latinos as well..
Don't fall for it. He's a sociopath and a liar. Although Obama is often criticized for making expeditious statements during a campaign (never-ending in his case), Romney actually has a much longer history of doing that. Mitt also has a way of substituting definitions on the fly. For example, if you could could see into Romney's mind as to what he truly visualized as "genuine marriage and the family", you will see Mittens and a whole gaggle of wives -- at least one for every day of the week.
ah, But as governor that is not what he promoted and I am not sure people who support free or low cost abortions have family values.
Oh, well.
The article referred to Romney as the nominee, actually that is incorrect, he has not been nominated yet.
Keith, your duty as a "faithful Catholic citizen" includes not aiding and abetting evil, whether the "O" or "R" variety.
Nothing is good enough for the NAACP.
Why doesn't the NAACP simply form a “Black non-Latino non-Asian non-Caucasian Killcrop” party...”BLACK”...and be honest about their racism?
The MSM didn’t miss Romney’s courage, they deliberately ignored it, just like they ignored Obama’s cowardice in not speaking to the NAACP.
Absolutely correct! One MSM clown chastised Romney for saying he would repeal Obamacare. Indeed, it was the only point where he was booed. The clown is an idiot. Here you have a politician not pandering to his audience like Obozo would and he gets flack from some snot-nosed puke who calls herself a reporter. Clearly, she has no regard for the truth or the courage it took to say what he did to that audience.
Romney didn’t pander to a group that feels entitled to pandering. He treated them like intelligent participants in the body politic, and in life. Those souls who dared clap while the others booed have my respect, but they should seriously consider distancing themselves from the hate mongers, or even better, consider the liberation of becoming colorblind. Joining an activist group that is founded on race is settling for ignorance. People who resisted the mob have what it takes to be free of that nonsense.
that is the choice.
those of you who attack Romney are only helping Obama.
Yes, THERE IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE!
Obama hates America.
Romney does not hate America.
Obama will “fundamentally transform” America if he is reelected.
We can not survive another 4 years of Obama.
You are right - and the media left out that obozo didn’t have the courage to attend - he was afraid of the blacks letting him know how they appose his stance on gay marriage.
Romney was not my first, second or third choice. But the primaries are over. WE fight for Romney or we accept the end of America.
There are stark differences between the two. These are some facts you won’t see in the socialist media - as you read through them, ask yourself “Which of the two would we be in better hands with?”]

You may think that Romney may not be the best representative the Republicans could have selected. At least we know what religion he is, and that he won’t desecrate the flag, bow down to foreign powers, or practice fiscal irresponsibility. we know he has the ability to turn this financial debacle that the current regime has gotten us into. We won’t like all the things necessary to recover from this debt, but someone with Romney’s background can do it. But, on the minus side, He never was a “Community Organizer”, never took drugs or smoked pot, never got drunk, did not associate with communists or terrorists, nor did he attend a church whose pastor called for God to damn the US”
I am voting for Romney for one important reason...my taxes. Obama will increase my taxes with metaphysical certitude. Taxes affect my entire life style, more than any other item by a factor of 25:1.
A, or B, will be in the winner's circle.
You, personally, get to vote for one or the other, (or in some cases, protest by voting for a third, for protest purposes).
You may also be able to affect the outcome, in a small way, by your actions, other than voting. This is done by either talking up one of them, or talking down one of them, in the hopes of getting another voter to vote the way you see it.
Your actions, if you are active, will help A, or B.
By the same token, whichever one you are down talking, the other is being helped.
Suppressing the vote for A, helps B, because it is the spread, not the total, cast.
Well said! I’m going to use it for my liberal relatives, if you don’t mind. ;>
Keith’s duty as a faithful Catholic Citizen is to choose the candidate who embodies the values of the Catholic Church the most, from among those available. In the case of Obama vs. Romney, there is really no question. Though we may not agree with everything Romney did as Governor, it is just plain wrong to say there is no difference between him and Obama. He may not be the BEST candidate of all time, but he’s the best we have right now, and is an order of magnitude better than Obama.
A mind reader, eh? Well, you've only shown us into your mind - and not a pretty sight.
That attack has been throughly shredded and debunked as to become scurrilous now.
You're suggesting that Mr. Romney, the father of both gay marriage and government funded (mandated) abortion in Massachusetts, and adherent to the Planet Kolob polygamous afterlife cult, embodies the values of the Catholic Church? You need your head examined. There are only BAD choices in this election and it is a grave sin for a Catholic to vote for either of them.
After visiting a shrink please visit a priest for confession, SOON!!!
