07 Nov 2008 06:07 pm

Rumor: Aides and advisers to Mitt Romney are responsible for spreading most of the anti-Palin stories that have been going around; during the campaign, they pressured reporters to look into reports of tension between McCain and Palin factions.

Mitt is a RINO, end of story. Obama is a Marxist end of story.

Believing anything else is engaging in self-deception, or cognitive dissonance.

Calling Mitt a RINO fear mongering, that’s quite a stretch! He’s got a paper trail and a track record, he’s a Rock Ribbed RINO!

How is me calling Romney a RINO make me in need of “getting over myself”?

He is a RINO, he’s not a conservative, although he tried to play one on TV.

If you like him fine, just don’t tell me he’s a conservative, because he’s not.

Fine, believe what you will, but don't tell me he's a RINO because he's not.

See how that works...

It doesn’t work at all.

As I said RINO Romney has a track record, he is a RINO.

I did like him when he hosted Love Connections, so not all is lost.

No need to fight about it, if he gets the nomination, more power to him, many conservatives will stay home like they did this election and we’ll have 4 more years of Obama.

You are entitled to your opinion, it is after all a free country, at least for 2 more months.

Good day.

No. Mitt, his henchmen and women (and their spouses)
and the MSM are slandering and libeling Gov. Palin.

Mitt is the leper who snuck, on his snake, into the GOP
tent to throw the Election to his co-socialist Obama.

“Please keep the McCain campaign people (Davis & Schmidt) far , far away from any of our future candidates .”

Schmidt hearts Jindal. I just hope Bobby has the good sense to keep him far far away.

I see you swallowed the MSM rumor mill.

I thought you would have seen them for what they are after what they did to Pain.

And please refrain from personal attacks and personal abuse on FR.

You know nothing of me personally.

And who are the royal “we” in your

“I think “we” know where you are coming from.”

I have no truck with Mormons who lead their people to hell with false teachings. They need to repent and humble themselves for lying in the name of Jesus Christ, that HE told Joseph Smith to add to the Eternal Word, to marry wives of other men, that Jesus condoned insurrection against the United States, that Jesus said it is alright to murder people who leave the Mormon church, that the Old Covenant and the New Covenant are one in the same, that there is an Old Testament style “Office of the Prophet” in existence after Pentecost, that men get their own planets with plenty of wives when they die, that Jesus and Satan were brothers, that there is any merit in baptizing dead people, that the Bible was so imperfect it needed an extra, added “Book of Mormon” to it...

Those are just some of the lies of Mormonism I can think of in a few seconds of typing.

Again, keep the personal attacks to yourself. If you cannot deal with the truth of the Mormon teachings, nor defend them without personal attack on my character, you have chosen the wrong belief system.

Oh, and Jesus, “who never did anything in secret” does NOT approve of secret ceremonies or secret rituals lifted from Masonry either. And don't get me started on the underwear, please, as it is a total misreading of what a “garment” is in Holy Scripture.

Romney would have to deny all of this stuff to be clean in God's sight. Obama at least is a strange agnostic with Marxist Islamic background. I am in more fear of fake “Christians” in high places, because the Bible tells us that is exactly who the Anti Christ will be... a fake Christian who rules with a bloody rod of iron and pretends to be Jesus himself as he murders those who do not bow the knee to him (ushered in by his main man) The False Prophet. Sorry, that's the Bible.

Ya think?

It is so obvious that the Romney Camp is behind the attacks on Sarah. It’s their MO and their fingerprints are all over it.

I sorry, I live in Massachusetts and Mitt couldn't have been more nicer to the Democrats. He didn't rock one single Democrat dingy. Other than the metastasizing RomneyCare, and assisting the state GOP into political hospice, he left no legacy. Mind you the intellectual and education quality of Massachusetts legislators, and especially Democrats, is very very low, with many with but high school degrees or the most pedestrian of college degrees from very low colleges.

I have to describe his Governorship as resume ticket-punching.

I don't know on facts, where people get the idea that he would be a great political executive in general, or more specifically for conservative causes. There is no proof of that.

Some of these rumors were started by .... Mitt Romney
to give .... Mitt Romney ... plausible deniability.
It has not worked.
Myth Romney is outed, along with his cult, for the betraying, backstabber that they truly are.

Romney’s horseshit is swallowed whole by his cult, like you.

Whether or not it impresses you is irrelevant.

Its still true.

Funny how his liberal RINO record backs up what I’ve said.

Mitt Romney is an ever present to America.

THE TRUTH ABOUT ROMNEY (D, Utah, carpetbagger MA) AND HIS DEMOCRAT JUDGES

"Governor Mitt Romney, who touts his conservative credentials to out-of-state Republicans,
has passed over GOP lawyers for three-quarters of the 36 judicial vacancies he has faced
,
instead tapping registered Democrats or independents -- including two gay lawyers who
have supported expanded same-sex rights, a Globe review of the nominations has found.
Of the 36 people Romney named to be judges or clerk magistrates, 23 are either registered Democrats
or unenrolled voters who have made multiple contributions to Democratic politicians
or who voted in Democratic primaries, state and local records show.
In all, he has nominated nine registered Republicans, 13 unenrolled voters,
and 14 registered Democrats."
- Boston Globe 7/25/2005


and this

Romney Rewards one of the State's Leading Anti-Marriage Attorneys by Making him a Judge
Romney told the U.S. Senate on June 22, 2004, that the "real threat to the States is not the
constitutional amendment process, in which the states participate,
but activist judges who disregard the law and redefine marriage . . ."
Romney sounds tough but yet he had no qualms advancing the legal career of one
of the leading anti-marriage attorneys.
He nominated Stephen Abany to a District Court.
Abany has been a key player in the Massachusetts Lesbian and Gay Bar Association which,
in its own words, is "dedicated to ensuring that the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court decision
on marriage equality is upheld, and that any anti-gay amendment or legislation is defeated."
- U.S. Senate testimony by Gov. Mitt Romney, 6/22/2004 P>


and then this.....

"Romney announces he won't fill judicial vacancies before term ends
Despite his rhetoric about judicial activism, Romney announced that
he won't fill all the remaining vacancies during his term - but instead
leave them for his liberal Democrat successor!

Governor Mitt Romney pledged yesterday not to make a flurry of lame-duck
judicial appointments in the final days of his administration . . . David Yas,
editor of Lawyers Weekly, said Romney is "bucking tradition" by resisting the urge to
fill all remaining judgeships. "It is a tradition for governors to use that power to appoint judges
aggressively in the waning moments of their administration," Yas said.
He added that Romney has been criticized for failing to make judicial appointments.
"The legal community has consistently criticized him for not filling open seats quickly enough
and being a little too painstaking in the process and being dismissive of the input of the
Judicial Nominating Commission," Yas said.

I’ll call out a RINO every time. It is the mindset of “the big tent” advocated by RINO sympathizers that has us losing elections.
