Romney’s Record on Judicial and Legal Appointments: Can he be trusted to appoint conservatives? 2011
AmyContrada.com ^ | December 9, 2011 | Amy Contrada

Summary: Mitt Romney’s record as Governor does not indicate a commitment to a conservative judicial philosophy.

His judge appointees revealed at best “no philosophical or partisan pattern” (Boston Globe), or at worst a liberal and even radical tilt. He sought out feminists and radical homosexual groups in his judicial selection process. He was inconsistent in his pronouncements on judicial activism, allowing it to occur under his watch (with “gay marriage”) while simultaneously urging others to fight it. How then could we expect him to keep his recent promises to appoint constitutional conservatives to the bench if he is elected President? . . . . . The Boston GLBT newspaper Bay Windows happily catalogued Romney’s “gay” appointees, knowing that they would use their offices to promote their causes. Their “sexual orientation” was not just a private matter, as Romney would have us believe, but carried a political agenda. The lead attorney for “gay marriage” in Massachusetts explained, “As feminists in the 1970s rightly noted, and other civil rights and social justice movements found out, the personal is political, or at least it can become so.” [10] Yet as Governor, Romney chose to ignore this obvious fact.

Romney appointed at least two homosexual activist judges, and even bragged about it:

I’ve appointed approximately 60 judges, one or two of whom... one of whom I’m quite confident is gay, the other may be gay as well. I think he probably is, and there may be more for all I know. But I’ve never asked a judicial candidate, “are you gay?” and discriminated against them on that basis. Nor, if I look in their resume and there’s an indication of their being gay,

"Father of All Known Trolls"

SoCon,

So...

Are you telling us that when Captain Incompetent and Brain-Dead-Biden tell us that Romney is a “...hard-right zealot...”, they are LYING?

And that when they say that Romney “...would BAN birth-control...”, they are LYING?

I think you are being much too “subtle” when you make those points.

Instead, why don’t you report that, in a “just” world, every step our Liar-in-Chief takes would leave a tread-mark on his Pinocchio-like nose?

BTW, did you hear that the dog-eater has hired 500 or so morons to troll conservative websites from a phone-bank in Chicago? Their “mission” is to try to stir up trouble among the dog-eater’s enemies by sowing misinformation about the Republican candidates.

It’s interesting to me that those morons know — first hand — that their paymaster is dishonest. They must be really greedy. OK. OK. They could be really stupid.

Ah ha! There you have it. Take people who would normally vote Republican, and encourage them to vote for someone who will not win, thus negating their vote. The result?!

You sir, are an Obama troll.


No, you sir, are the Obama troll, precisely because you are posting pro-Obama posts on a conservative site.

Furthermore, with a record like Romney's that aligns almost perfectly with Obama's, why would I be promoting that lying, left-wing, Progressive Liberal when I KNOW that supporting him only guarantees an Obama win?

Ok, I can slip in every now and then while at work for a quickie post.

Regards FOAKT:

My mission is, per wishes of many at this site, to insure Mitt loses in his failing quest to be crowned king.

After all, having obama as the resident in chief for another 4 years, jetting round the world on my dime, spewing EO's right and left, er, left and left, and generally flipping the bird to the US of A would certainly be an improvement over getting that Filthy Romney anywhere near the WH.

Being FOAKT is quite a chore sometimes, but somebody has to do it.

Much like Romney, Democrats always lie.

Much like Romney, Democrats wouldn't know honesty or the truth if it bit them in the but.

Much like Romney, Democrats have a lying, left-wing, Progressive Liberal Record.

Ergo, Romney is a Democrat in a cheap-RINO suit.

No, you sir, are the Obama troll...

Stop! Yer killing me, Smalls!

If one person shoots himself in the head, and another takes poison, what's the result? Both are dead.

Given that I have already capitulated, and acknowledged you as FOAKT, your decrees work well with me. In fact, I must now admit openly to being a FOAKT-bot.

However, you will have a tougher sell with rouge trolls, such as SoConPubbie. While he is not nearly as accomplished in the dark arts of trolling, he is determined.

What you see when when you look around, others do also.

Discovering trolls, of any stripe, or hue, really is not difficult, to anyone with a couple of spare neurons to rub together to create heat.

Yes, I read the relevant posts. But I also think for myself. I don't want GOPe to be taught a lesson if it means that we become a Western European-style county. If Obamacare is implemented, we will never get rid of it (see Social Security and Medicare). Future candidates for president will argue over the size of spending on the entitlements, not on whether we should have them (see Great Britian and their "conservatives").

Again, Romney would only slow down the descent, but he would slow it down. Obama in a second term will wipe out so much freedom that we will not ever get it back in any of our lifetimes.

Simple choice. It took us 80 years to get from FDR to here, if we have Obama for another 4, it will be at least 80 until this country rights itself (if ever).

Romney pretty much has won the nomination, under the existing rules. There is no realistic third choice. See my tag line.

Yes, lets just ban anyone who vocally supports voting for the Republican nominee. That way, we can get the site down to tens of people who can just sit around agreeing with each other that its not their fault.

You forgot the word Mormon. Use Mormon somewhere. Preferably as an insult.

It’s better than having supporters of that Marxist yankee around. If you support Romney, you support Marxism.

Hmmm....

Are you saying that your hatred of Romney is so strong, that you will actively help re-elect the dog-eater?

Yes, everyone one but me is a Marxist, because calling things Marxist means we dont have anymore discussion. Newt was a Marxist after all. Believing in man made global warming, promoting liberal Republicans in the House, and calling Paul Ryan’s budget “right wing engineering.” Lets get rid of anyone who is a “Marxist” so five people can agree with each other about how vindicated they feel.
