Story by Gary Bauer:
“Like Reagan, Romney is a contrite convert, referring to his past support for Roe as his life’s “defining mistake.”
When challenged about his previous support for abortion in a Republican debate in December, he said “I changed my mind…I’m firmly pro-life…sometimes I’m wrong.”
Gary Bauer is president of American Values and chairman of the Campaign for Working Families, and served for 8 years in the administration of President Ronald Reagan, including a stint as Reagan’s domestic policy adviser.
Mitt Romney Never Flip-Flopped on Marriage
By: Maggie Gallagher, She is the founder of the National Organization for Marriage
“Mitt Romney didn’t just oppose court-ordered same-sex marriage with words, he fought hard, including behind the scenes.”
This will be the 10th presidential election in which I cast my vote. Your condescension is laughable.
Everything? You're sure about that? I'll give your opinion all the attention it is due - little.
Sounds a little overwrought.
Fascinating that the author would employ the Stalin vs Hitler, analogy, when a quick perusal history shows that when it came to Stalin or Hitler, the United States did choose, we choose Stalin. Because at the time he was, wait for it, “the lesser or two evils”.
We chose to side with Stalin to defeat Hitler, then we chose to fight the evil of Stalin’s Marxism.
I guess if this guy had his way we should have just stood on the sidelines.
ridiculous?
Voting for the man who gave America Gay Marriage just because his name is not Obama is the smart thing??
Voting for the man who gave America Govt run health care is okay because his name is not obama??
Our nation is doomed.
Voting for evil is voting for evil. Plain and simple.
I firmly stand by my comment. They are NOT the same.
He's lying.
He's worth hundreds of millions of dollars. If he was "firmly pro-life" then where is the evidence of his donations to pro-life charities and organizations?
Romney became pro-life in order to try to fool some pro-lifers into supporting him. Now that he's sewn up the nomination, where is his statement that he wants to see Roe v. Wade overturned or that he believes that most abortions should be illegal?
Crickets.
Talk is cheap, especially for a liar like Romney. Let him put his wallet where his mouth is. Let him show us his substantial contributions to pro-life organizations.
Having any leader other than Jesus as king is evil.
Your hopes are mine as well.
We have to face reality. We are where we are and our choices are set in stone. So, we must look at the long term consequences of the choice we ultimately make.
Like the analogy of turning a large ship, we cannot hope to undo a lot of the damage done in one election. But, we have made a good start since 08 of putting in place real conservatives and have many more running for Congress this year.
Romney is not my first, second or third choice, but he is THE ONLY alternative to Obama. Obama will not be controlled by a Republican House and Senate. If he is reelected, he will see that as carte blanche to do whatever he wants.
We must put the brakes on now and continue to be vigilant and work for more conservative voices in D.C. in the future. Obama must be defeated. Period.
Thanks for the post.
Excellent.
What a total load of Communist crap.
I certainly did not expect you to give my opinion anymore consideration than I gave yours.
This will be my 9th, so I am not impressed with this being your 10th vote in a Presidential election. Though I was of age I did not vote in Nixon's re-election bid or Carter's election because at that time I didn't give a dang about politics.
When you look at 2 people and see 1 as the lesser of 2 evils and you do nothing to stop the most evil than you are aiding evil. Nothing overwrought in that statement at all. Because the reality is that no 3rd party candidate has ever won an election or even come close for that matter. Thus by casting your vote for a 3rd party candidate, or not voting at all, you are not part of the solution to thwart the most evil of the 2.
Remeber the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
He didn't give America either of those things, he gave the people of Mass. what they wanted, though on gay marriage from what I hear he did fight against the gay marriage thing.
Instead what you should be looking at is what does Obama plan to give America.
Answer: THE SHAFT
bzzzzt!
What started in Mass is what followed accross the country, and YOU KNOW IT!
As of May 10, 2012, gay marriage has been legalized in eight US states (MA, CT, IA, VT, NH, NY, WA - effective June 7, 2012, and MD - effective Jan. 1, 2013) and the District of Columbia. 31 states have constitutional amendments banning gay marriage. Which leaves 11 that have not recognized gay marriage, nor have they banned it. But the reality is 41 to 9. Thus a sweep is a leap. But wasn't this really what the Founding Fathers envisioned? That states would be free to make these types of decisions if the Constitution didn't speak to it. If the people who live in these states that have recognized gay marriage have a problem with that fact then they need to remove these their elected leaders who made these decisions. That or vote with their feet and move to a state that has banned gay marriage. So why do you remain in Conn. if you disagree with gay marriage? I would have packed my bags and left the day after.
It is time for you to learn the truth about RomneyCare if you dare move beyond relying solely on what others have told you. Romney has stated that he will repeal ObamaCare. Had he said he would fix it I would be concerned.
I really think we are on the same side. However, you think I am selling out my principles, while I don't think you fully grasp the ramifications associated with this election. Romney is by no means my favorite choice, but honestly we do not have the luxury to allow Obama another 4 years. I'll take my chances with Romney, because getting the usurper out of office is really that critical to the survival of this nation. I hope you start to really recognize that fact.
Then there is reality........ Politics is the art of the possible
Uber-liberal Supreme Court pick(s), an even more empowered New Black Panthers Party, Eric Holder's Just-Us Department, more Obama racist edicts, Open borders, Gun control, Government takeover of whatever industry it desires, abolition of freedom of religion, Muslim proliferation and Sharia law, an even more rogue EPA, a completely weakened National defense and an end to our alliance with Israel (when's the last time Obama held a Passover sadar?), Agenda 21, etc........
He forgave us long before any of us were born.
