Republicans are Scared to Death of Obama Because He Wins by Demonizing Opponents

“They should have been name calling from 2007 onwards.”

I’ll go you one better than that, Candor7.

Conservatives should have been showing up back in the 1970s at school board meetings to kick commies out of the classrooms. They should’ve showed their faces at local village and county board meetings to stop sky-high property taxes.

Conservatives are lazy and self-centered and care only about worshipping Mammon and remodeling their stupid kitchens. And then they scratch their heads and wonder how leftists took over the country.

[TwelveOfTwenty]

The GOP can’t be chicken, fearing that they will brown off all the Democrats who voted for Obama. They need to be bold, to get interest revived among their friends.

You got it. The GOP played nice and "reached across the aisle" after Bush was President and they controlled Congress, instead of pushing their agenda. They seemed to be afraid of losing, and didn't want to provoke the leftists and their MSM into attacking them.

But the leftists and their MSM were going to attack them regardless, and they did lose, first Congress in 2006, then everything. The sad part is that the GOP has nothing to lose by making a stand since the lefties will continue to attack them regardless of what they do, and plenty to gain by standing up for Conservative principles, so they could at least give us a reason to support them. Too bad they can't see that far ahead.

[garbanzo]

There’s also some bait and switch. The GOP establishment saw Romney as the genteel Republican that everyone would like, including the media. The media basically baits the GOP with favorable coverage of a moderate who then gets deemed electable and once he accepts the GOP nomination then becomes the antichrist. Might as well go for broke in 2016 and nominate an “unelectable” Republican candidate.

[SoConPubbie]

The Republican base stayed home because they were angry at the Republican Party and at Romney, but people voted against Romney. They were not voting for Obama. This is what everybody misses. Obama had demonized Romney for a full year, and people believed it. They believed that Romney didn't care when a guy's wife died. There has never been a candidate for the White House more charitable, more giving, and more decent. Forget political ideas and concepts, just in terms of humanity, there's never been a better person run for the office than Romney.

ANd here, for all to see, is the hypocrasy of Rush Limbaugh on full display.

Rush knows full well that what he accuses Obama of, is exactly what Mitt did to the conservatives that were his opponents in the Primary.

This is an out and out lie, by ommission.

[SoConPubbie]

Elsie, we know you have an irrational hatred for Mormons.

Another false accusation.

If what you are saying is true, you should be able to find ample posts of Elsie that prove it true.

Please man up and provide the proof!

[Terry Mross]

Instead of playing along, the republicans should vote present on every bill. Let the dems own everything. Then when it all crashes they won’t have anyone to blame. As it is, the republicans will be blamed no matter what. I firmly believe you have to be evil to be a democrat but you have to be stupid to be a republican.

[Elsie]

Elsie, we know you have an irrational hatred for Mormons.

I DO?

Damn!

I thought I had a RATIONAL hatred for HERESY!

Who knew!!!

[Elsie]

How do you feel about, say, Baha'i?

A lot better than ISLAM 'feels' toward them!

At least they ain't claiming to be Christian; and the only TRUE christians at that!!!

Questions put to Joseph Smith: "'Do you believe the Bible?' [Smith:]'If we do, we are the only people under heaven that does, for there are none of the religious sects of the day that do'. When asked 'Will everybody be damned, but Mormons'? [Smith replied] 'Yes, and a great portion of them, unless they repent, and work righteousness." (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 119).

Joseph Smith: "for the teachers of religion of the different sects understood the same passages of scripture so differently as to destroy all confidence in settling the question by an appeal to the Bible" (from Pearl of Great Price 1:12). "What is it that inspires professors of Christianity generally with a hope of salvation? It is that smooth, sophisticated influence of the devil, by which he deceives the whole world" (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p.270).

 

 

 

Brigham Young stated this repeatedly: "When the light came to me I saw that all the so-called Christian world was grovelling in darkness" (Journal of Discourses 5:73); "The Christian world, so-called, are heathens as to the knowledge of the salvation of God" (Journal of Discourses 8:171); "With a regard to true theology, a more ignorant people never lived than the present so-called Christian world" (Journal of Discourses 8:199); "And who is there that acknowledges [God's] hand? ...You may wander east, west, north, and south, and you cannot find it in any church or government on the earth, except the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" (Journal of Discourses , vol. 6, p.24); "Should you ask why we differ from other Christians, as they are called, it is simply because they are not Christians as the New Testament defines Christianity" (Journal of Discourses 10:230).

 

 

 

Orson Pratt proclaimed: "Both Catholics and Protestants are nothing less than the 'whore of Babylon' whom the Lord denounces by the mouth of John the Revelator as having corrupted all the earth by their fornications and wickedness. Any person who shall be so corrupt as to receive a holy ordinance of the Gospel from the ministers of any of these apostate churches will be sent down to hell with them, unless they repent" (The Seer, p. 255).

 

 

 

Orson Pratt also said: "This great apostasy commenced about the close of the first century of the Christian era, and it has been waxing worse and worse from then until now" (Journal of Discourses

, vol.18, p.44) and: "But as there has been no Christian Church on the earth for a great many centuries past, until the present century, the people have lost sight of the pattern that God has given according to which the Christian Church should be established, and they have denominated a great variety of people Christian Churches, because they profess to be ...But there has been a long apostasy, during which the nations have been cursed with apostate churches in great abundance" (Journal of Discourses , 18:172).

 

 

President John Taylor stated: "Christianity...is a perfect pack of nonsense...the devil could not invent a better engine to spread his work than the Christianity of the nineteenth century." (Journal of Discourses , vol. 6, p.167); "Where shall we look for the true order or authority of God? It cannot be found in any nation of Christendom." (Journal of Discourses , 10:127).

 

 

 

James Talmage said: "A self-suggesting interpretation of history indicates that there has been a great departure from the way of salvation as laid down by the Savior, a universal apostasy from the Church of Christ". (A Study of the Articles of Faith, p.182).

 

 

 

President Joseph Fielding Smith said: "Doctrines were corrupted, authority lost, and a false order of religion took the place of the gospel of Jesus Christ, just as it had been the case in former dispensations, and the people were left in spiritual darkness." (Doctrines of Salvation, p.266). "For hundreds of years the world was wrapped in a veil of spiritual darkness, until there was not one fundamental truth belonging to the place of salvation ...Joseph Smith declared that in the year 1820 the Lord revealed to him that all the 'Christian' churches were in error, teaching for commandments the doctrines of men" (Doctrines of Salvation, vol. 3, p.282).

 

 

 

More recent statements by apostle Bruce McConkie are also very clear: "Apostasy was universal...And this darkness still prevails except among those who have come to a knowledge of the restored gospel" (Doctrines of Salvation, vol 3, p.265); "Thus the signs of the times include the prevailing apostate darkness in the sects of Christendom and in the religious world in general" (The Millennial Messiah, p.403); "a perverted Christianity holds sway among the so-called Christians of apostate Christendom" (Mormon Doctrine, p.132); "virtually all the millions of apostate Christendom have abased themselves before the mythical throne of a mythical Christ whom they vainly suppose to be a spirit essence who is incorporeal uncreated, immaterial and three-in-one with the Father and Holy Spirit" (Mormon Doctrine, p.269); "Gnosticism is one of the great pagan philosophies which antedated Christ and the Christian Era and which was later commingled with pure Christianity to form the apostate religion that has prevailed in the world since the early days of that era." (Mormon Doctrine, p.316).

 

 

 

President George Q. Cannon said: "After the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was organized, there were only two churches upon the earth. They were known respectively as the Church of the Lamb of God and Babylon. The various organizations which are called churches throughout Christendom, though differing in their creeds and organizations, have one common origin. They all belong to Babylon" (Gospel Truth, p.324).

 

 

President Wilford Woodruff stated: "the Gospel of modern Christendom shuts up the Lord, and stops all communication with Him. I want nothing to do with such a Gospel, I would rather prefer the Gospel of the dark ages, so called" (Journal of Discourses , vol. 2, p.196).

Really?? Romney is the anti-Christ??

Whatever.

You know, I thought conservatives didn’t vote for Romney because he was too liberal. Now I know that there were people who didn’t vote for him because he is a Mormon. How small minded. And ludicrous. You don’t want Romney in office because he follows a certain religion that you don’t like, yet because you chose not to vote for only one of two viable candidates because you didn’t like his religion, the other candidate who is evil personified is again in charge of our Republic, this time with no reason to pretend to be pro-American.

Just wondering, are you anti-Semitic, too? Anti-Catholic? Anti-Babtist? Anti-Protestant? I bet you’re at least two of those.

No wonder this country is lost. God help us.

For Rush Limbaugh:

I ran across a good description of the two words, here.
FREEDOM is NOT Liberty

From a linguistic, definitional and etymological perspective, these two words do not have the same meaning.
I assert that in fact, FREEDOM is a fabricated imposture for Liberty.
The founders of the United States understood this critical difference.
This is why Liberty is the word used in the Declaration of Independence.
Below is a comparison between the two words.
This example, while not fully documented here, provides substantial and sound assertions.
This comes after years of study in linguistics, etymology and history, as well as being a scholar and speaker of several languages.

FREEDOM
This word has two roots:
FREE and DOM.
In order to fully understand it's meaning it is necessary to examine it's roots.
FREE means that which is unrestrained.
This sounds pretty good.
Most everybody would agree that they want to choose for themselves.

DOM means to control or dominate.

FREEDOM linguistically and etymologically means:
"Control/Domination over those who claim to be free"
When you see a bumper sticker that says: "Freedom is not Free", they are 100% correct.
Freedom is not FREE. It is not LIBERTY. It is a 'word-game' meaning bondage.

Please look up the meanings of the term 'DOM' in the dictionary, Black's Law Dictionary and it's historic usage and etymological meaning.
You will always find this word related to CONTROL and DOMINATION.
Those who act irresponsibly and without restraint exercising their inherent powers without regard to causing harm, must be controlled and dominated by definition of the LAW.
FREEDOM is like a blank check saying:
"do whatever you want, hurt whoever you want,
but we will execute judgment upon you for your harmful actions"

It is extremely important to realize that those who are FREE, and have LIBERTY must live by the golden rule
or they are instantly 'transformed' (X-FORMED, "x marks the spot") into those who are subject to 'FREEDOM'.

LIBERTY

Contrary to many studies on the historic meaning of this word, the true root meaning originates in:
LIBE in indo-european (aka: Germanic languages, the 'mother tongue')
LIBE means LOVE or that which one loves.
Also LIBE refers to LEBEN which mean LIFE.
Therefore Liberty means LOVE and LIFE.
These word/meanings are fundamental connected meanings of LIBERTY.
The writers of the declaration of Independence understand this.
That is why they did not use the "false" substitute-word 'FREEDOM' which truly is an imposture.

I want this information to be of benefit to my brothers and sisters on this planet.
If you read this, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE spread the word.
Love you all... Wishing you all happiness and joy.... Mar 02 2011 17:39:34

Go nail 'em, Rush.

Really?? Romney is the anti-Christ??

You REALLY need to pay a bit closer attention to just WHO types these things...

It's true. I've had more than one under-25-year-old tell me they thought Romney was the Anti-Christ. Straight from the White House campaign staff via the Comedy Channel.

Romney - no conservative, but a very decent and respectable JFK Democrat - was taken out by a scurrilous campaign of lies and slander, one that a functional news media would have easily countered with factual reporting.

I'll bet that you would NOT castigate a person for NOT voting for a MUSLIM.

Am I correct?

Ode to Mittens

 by Jean Ann Esselink

 

You pursued a cutthroat game plan,
In your brutal Primary fight.
Wherever your opponent stood,
You scurried to his right.
You thought you’d shake the Etch- a-Sketch,
And start again anew.
And that’s why we’re not inaugurating you.

When a soldier in Afghanistan,
Asked if you had your say,
Would you reinstate Don’t Ask Don’t Tell?
And told you he was gay.
You stood there without speaking,
When the crowd began to boo.
And that’s why we’re not inaugurating you.

You didn’t speak when Sandra Fluke,
Was called a “slut” by Rush.
You were silent when your party,
Tried to take our votes from us.
You said nothing when Todd Akin,
Claimed that not all rapes are true.
And that’s why we’re not inaugurating you.

When asked if you would sign,
A woman’s Right to Choose away,
You’d answer women only cared,
How much was in their pay.
You made Ann your link to women,
When she never had a clue.
And that’s why we’re not inaugurating you.

You embarrassed us in Europe,
Wherever you would go.
Ann’s horse made the Olympics,
But you didn’t even show.
You’d have let Michigan go bankrupt,
From Detroit to Kalamazoo.
And that’s why we’re not inaugurating you.

You thought, like you, that everyone,
Loved nothing more than money.
And shaving off a classmates hair,
Was your idea of funny.
You like your women bound in binders,
Unless they’re pregnant in a shoe.
And that’s why we’re not inaugurating you.

You gave millions to the Mormons,
To Fund Proposition Eight.
You may have called that charity,
Gay couples call it “hate”.
You threatened to kill Big Bird,
And you’re married to a shrew.
And that’s why we’re not inaugurating you.

There are forty-seven percent of us,
For whom you had no care.
You claimed it wasn’t our concern,
If you were taxed your share.
In your heart, you didn’t love us,
And we didn’t love you too.
And that’s why we’re not inaugurating you.

[Elsie]

God help us.

Which one?

The Christian one; or the MORMON ones?

[Elsie]

God help us.

Why Should He??

Are you still killing your unborn?

-- GOD

 

[Alas Babylon!]

Comedy Central?

Maybe.

But from what I witnessed over the past year here, half of Free Republic. Some FReepers did more to demonize Romney than any combination of Comedy Central Yucks.

[Alas Babylon!]

17% of 310 million is almost 53 million.
