Romney: Colorado shooting is 'unspeakable tragedy' (with video)
L.A. Times ^ | 7/20/12 | Seema Mehta

Posted on 07/20/2012 2:10:27 PM PDT by GOPinCa

BOW, N.H.—Hours after a shooter killed a dozen people in a Colorado cinema, Mitt Romney scrubbed a scheduled campaign rally Friday and instead offered his somber condolences and prayers to the victims and their families.

“Our hearts break with the sadness of this unspeakable tragedy. Ann and I join the president and first lady and all Americans in offering our deepest condolences to those whose lives were shattered in a few moments, a few moments of evil in Colorado,” Romney told a few hundred people gathered at a lumber yard here.

“I stand before you today not as a man running for office but as a father and grandfather, a husband, an American. This is a time for each of us to look into our hearts and remember how much we love one another and how much we love and how much we care for our great country. There’s so much love and goodness in the heart of America.”

I also think Mitt Romney gave a very hearfelt statement. He was to have had a rally today, and he didn’t.

Yes, so do I. He said he began each morning w/prayer. He knew where to look for guidance and Who he really served. Now if he had the same kind around him... but he didn’t. His heart is pure but that doesn’t mean he can’t mess up. God looks at the heart.

Those who don’t have the same spirit as him will find any excuse to bad mouth him.

WTF else can he do? Not say anything? You are one miserable creature. Romney’s going to be the nominee. You obviously are not going to vote for him so your constant nitpicking bitching will not only NOT convince others to join “your team” but just seems to be a daily exercise in futility.

“Don’t let a crisis go to waste” isn’t just liberals’ motto. Some Freepers love it too, especially when it comes to bash Romney.

Good luck with that!

It's up to AMERICA to REPENT; first!!!


2 Chronicles 7:14

If my people, who are called by my name,
shall humble themselves,
and pray, and seek my face,
and turn from their wicked ways; ,

then will I hear from heaven,
and will forgive their sin,
and will heal their land.

Given his tensive body armor and use of a smoke bomb do you REALLY think someone well trained would've been likely to take a shot in that chaos?

I think 40-50 bullets, headed in his general direction; might have given him SOME kind of epiphany!

This is EXACTLY why we have a 'problem' with BULLIES in our schools and EVERYWHERE these days!

50 years ago, a 'bully' would have found themselves in serious need of some Socialised Medicine after the Tar&Feather group got through with him/her!

Now its, "Let's learn to talk to the bully and get him to quit."

Are these the same?

MORMONism says that this shooter canNOT be SAVED, canNOT have his sin atoned for by the JESUS MORMONism describes.

JESUS' blood is INADEQUATE to wash away the sin of mass murder; or even ONE murder, for thatg matter.

The perp's OWN blood must be shed.


This is why UTAH has a FIRING SQUAD available to render a death sentence in it's prisons.


 

 This is lovingour neighbour as ourselves; if he needs help, help him; and if he wants salvation and it is necessary to spill his blood on the earth in order that he may be saved, spill it.

Any of you who understand the principles of eternity, if you have sinned a sin requiring the shedding of blood, except the sin unto death, would not be satisfied nor rest until your blood should be spilled, that you might gain that salvation you desire.

That is the way to love mankind.

Brigham Young

Is BrighamYoung lying?

"For unbelievers we will quote from the Scriptures - "Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God." Again - "Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, is of God."

 I will now give my scripture - "Whosoever confesseth that Joseph Smith was sent of God to reveal the holy Gospel to the children of men, and lay the foundation for gathering Israel, and building up the kingdom of God on the earth, that spirit is of God; and every spirit that does not confess that God has sent Joseph Smith, and revealed the everlasting Gospel to and through him, is of Antichrist.......

 - BrighamYoung

 

 

 

Here's some MORE for MORMON's...

"Now if any of you will deny the plurality of wives, and continue to do so, I promise that you will be damned; and I will go still further and say, take this revelation, or any other revelation that the Lord has given, and deny it in your feelings, and I promise that you will be damned.

- JoD 3:266 (July 14, 1855)

 

 

It is true that the earth was organized by three distinct characters, namely, Eloheim, Yahovah, and Michael, these three forming a quorum, as in all heavenly bodies, and in organizing element, perfectly represented in the Deity, as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Again, they will try to tell how the divinity of Jesus is joined to his humanity, and exhaust all their mental faculties, and wind up with this profound language, as describing the soul of man, "it is an immaterial substance!" What a learned idea! Jesus, our elder brother, was begotten in the flesh by the same character that was in the garden of Eden, and who is our Father in Heaven. Now, let all who may hear these doctrines, pause before they make light of them, or treat them with indifference, for they will prove their salvation or damnation.

I have given you a few leading items upon this subject, but a great deal more remains to be told. Now, remember from this time forth, and for ever, that Jesus Christ was not begotten by the Holy Ghost.

- JoD 1:50-51 (April 9, 1852)

 

 

The rank, rabid abolitionists, whom I call black-hearted Republicans, have set the whole national fabric on fire. Do you know this, Democrats? They have kindled the fire that is raging now from the north to the south, and from the south to the north. I am no abolitionist, neither am I a proslavery man; I hate some of their principles and especially some of their conduct, as I do the gates of hell. The Southerners make the negroes, and the Northerners worship them; this is all the difference between slaveholders. and abolitionists. I would like the President of the United States and all the world to hear this.

Shall I tell you the law of God in regard to the African race? If the white man who belongs to the chosen seed mixes his blood with the seed of Cain, the penalty, under the law of God, is death on the spot. This will always be so.

- JoD: vol.10 p. 110: (March 8, 1863)

It looks like BrighamYoung was pretty good at bashings.

I was speaking of Bush, Jr. We have some idiots here who are still trashing Bush - four years later and still at it. They need a battery change, they are stuck on stupid. They probably voted for Gore and are still PO'd.

As far as Mormonism goes, they are godless and KNOW NOTHING but evil/untruths.

You are one miserable creature

TN is a miserable creature because she's speaking her mind?

Let me tell you what a miserable creature is mittbot - a candidate who wants to lead our country and is PRO baby killing. The liberals have one and the other side of the aisle is hell bent on getting their own miserable creature!!

You know what else a miserable creature is - someone who KNOWINGLY LIES TO A NATION to deceive them! That's a low life miserable creature!

will not only NOT convince others to join “your team”

No one is convincing anyone, mittbot, as you can't CONVINCE anyone to HATE EVIL when they are ATTRACTED/DRAWN to it. The unteachable learn the hard way, when they start reaping what they have sown. Have fun when your 'harvest' comes in.

Now, that's too much. You should not insult others like that. Since you believe you can, it's not saying much for your religion.

Well, godless BYoung has eternity to think about the LIES/UNTRUTHS he has said as that tongue he used to spread LIES/UNTRUTHS is now on fire! And the kicker is what godless Young learned when he took his last breath can't do him one bit of good EVER! He sealed his own fate forever here.

Excuse me but it is their choice to be godless and why would you think that's an insult to them? Shame on you for suggesting it - it would be the same as saying someone insulted me for saying I was God-fearing and I serve no man but GOD ALONE and His Son JESUS IS MY SAVIOR.

There is ONLY ONE GOD. And HIS WORD ONLY REIGNS.

And I don't have a religion but a RELATIONSHIP exactly how God always wanted it. I see you aren't knowledgeable about the things of God. Until you are, don't preach to me with that holier than thou attitude - a 'religious' trait.
