In Case You Don't Like Romney... A Challenge To Every FReeper
email from friend

Posted on 06/13/2012 2:03:43 PM PDT by MindBender26

In Case You Don't Like Romney...

Columnist Andrew McCarthy gives us what probably is the most important question regarding the upcoming presidential election …

“If Romney wins the nomination, as seems very likely, I will enthusiastically support his candidacy. For my friends who may have hesitation on that score, I’d just ask you to keep four things in mind:

1.. Justice Scalia just turned 78

2.. Justice Kennedy will turn 78 later this year

3.. Justice Breyer will be 76 in August

4.. Justice Ginsburg turned 81 about a week ago and has had cancer twice.

Whoever we elect as president in November is almost certainly going to choose at least one and maybe more new members of the Supreme Court — in addition to hundreds of other life-tenured federal judges, all of whom will be making momentous decisions about our lives for decades to come.

If you don’t think it matters whether the guy making those calls is Mitt Romney or Barack Obama, I think you’re smokin’ something funky….”

So for anybody who is thinking of not voting because your favorite didn’t get nominated, or writing in a candidate who can't win ... just imagine this possibility:

'SUPREME COURT JUSTICE ERIC HOLDER'

Did that get your attention!

Killing babies had God turn his prophets against their own nation. See Jeremiah. IOW, infanticide outranks nationalism.

Do you think Romney would have forced the military to welcome gays?

Well since he is on record this campaign season of refusing to re-instate "Don't Ask Don't Tell" and has stated that Gays adopting children is the American Way, then the answer to your question is unequivocally yes.

Do you really see Romney making our borders completely open as Obama is?

Given his statements this week on Illegals, I expect no measurable difference, and I expect that Romney will usher in some type of Amnesty.

There should be zero tolerance from anyone calling themselves conservatives on the issue of Illegal Immigrations.

A question for you: Given Romney's documented behavior of both switching positions on the issues to fit whatever political situation he finds himself in and given Romney's documented serial character trait of lying both about his own Progressive Liberal record and the records of his Republican competitors, why would you believe any policy position he is stating right now or any promise?

Thank you for sharing your insights, dear brother in Christ!

infanticide outranks nationalism

It's not about nationalism, it's about blessing versus curse:

And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. - Genesis 12:13

And I can't judge which sin is worse:

For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one [point], he is guilty of all. - James 2:10

altura, for example, said she would support gay marriage. That, in my mind, is not conservative.

Altura,

Did you really say that or even hint to it?

People practiced/s their beliefs in Auschwitz, in East Germany, in Iran, Iraq - no one can stop you.
My brother started nine churches in East Germany. He has friends who have started churches in Iran.
There is no one on earth who can stop you.
Fear is not of God.

Sarah Palin is a strong ABO’er and will be voting for Romney. So according to your own words, Sarah Palin is:

‘No different’ from Nancy Pelosi.
A ‘hypocrite’.
‘Absurd’.
‘Has no core beliefs or integrity’.
‘Makes excuse after excuse’.

And it sounds like you would be voting for Sarah Palin if she was the candidate. Boy, imagine what that makes you! ...every other R candidate is supporting Romney also. So who was your candidate, genius?


What is it about supporters of Romney, McCain, Rudy, or any other liberal, or in Romney's case, Progressive Liberal that they tend to be so dishonest in their arguments against principled conservatives who will not compromise their values and support the Progressive du jour the GOP-E cheats into the nomination?

You took a generalized statement by Norm Lenhart concerning formerly principled conservatives who change when they start supporting lying, left-wing, Progressive Liberals like Mitt Romney ("In the last several months I have seen support for gay marriage and euthanasia, border fence advocates told they want dead Mexican kids, Men called perverts, Palin called everything under the sun including one very specific ‘implication’ she was a prostitute and a bunch more.") and twist it into some crap about how from that statement we can infer that Norm would believe some crap about Sarah?

There is no logic in your post. There is no connecting your post with what Norm stated and what Norm stated was the truth.

You posted that "I’m so tired of this crap. So few people left have any integrity. And they just make excuse after excuse."

IMO, the people without integrity are those who spout ABO and then denigrate those unwilling to support a lying, left-wing, Progressive Liberal, even out of fear of the worst possible President we have ever had in Obama.

That is lacking integrity.

Do you wonder as I do about the people who are so afraid of BHO?
I beleive that their fear has over come their reason.
There is little political difference between Romney and BHOK.
Romney is running a great campaign, I'll give him that, however it means nothing.
We have seen Romney even in the last weeks, flip and flop. The supporters who are conservative will have a harder and harder time supporting him, because their delusion will begin to disintegration, their anger will increase. That anger must be directed somewhere, it will be towards those who have stood and not capitulated.
Fear is not of God.
I do not fear BHOK. I intensity dislike his policies, if I met him I might dislike him but I do not know for sure.
My sadness revolves around the way we have lost our way. I firmly believe the USA foundation was a great gift from God. The founders believed and I agree that they were doing God’ Will. My Mother passed away in 1959, when I was eleven. Before she died she told me that she believed a time would come when people would turn away from the foundation of the country and the government would want total and absolute control - she warned be vigilant, be aware, never give in and protect my siblings. I am sad she may have been correct.

The Declaration of Independence preempts the US Constitution.

In date, and perhaps in your dreams and desires, but alas, for you, not in law.

And George Washington's friends were his “cronies,” as were Ronald Reagan's, as were Barry Goldwater's.

I'll work with Romney's “cronies,” rather than Obama’s any day.

BTW, remember that Obama said that in college, he chose to hang out with the Marxist professors, and later, Bill Ayres, Van Jones, etc.

I don't see any convicted bombers, Marxists, admitted Communists in Romney's background, do you. Oh, that's right. He hung out with those anti-Christ Mormons. I forgot. Mormons, Communists, Bombers, all the same.... right?

These are all people INTENT on destroying America. Romney's friends may not see America as you see her, but they are not publicly calling for her Destruction.

Actually, svcw, I believe that the ABO's can be divided into two distinct camps:

1. Those who are truthfully letting a fear of Obama drive them to voting for a lying, left-wing, Progressive Liberal because he is a "Lessor of two evils"
2. Those who are actual POP or Party over Principle and have no true fidelity to Conservative principles but will compromise one, or more of their vocal conservative principles, usually more, because those principles are not really principles, but more like guidelines.

And yet Romney's record declares him NOT to be a lover of my America, but a lover of the America cherished by the left-wing.

Which in my book, makes him not much better than Obama:

Romney's record:

I only quoted Norm’s words describing ‘ABO’ers. If Sarah Palin promotes voting for anyone but Obama (making her a strong ABO’er), and said any of the republican candidates running are better than Obama (including Romney) don’t Norm’s insults apply to her also?

Who was your candidate in the primary and who are they backing now?

Finally, you are posting some of the BS you either believe, or more probably know is a lie and are trying to use to BS other FReepers.

One needs to go no further than your point #1 to find a deliberate lie, that Romeny created gay marriage in Massachusetts.

Here are the facts:

Same-sex marriage in Massachusetts began on May 17, 2004, as a result of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts ruling in Goodridge v. Department of Public Health that it was unconstitutional under the Massachusetts constitution to allow only heterosexual couples to marry. Romney had nothing to do with that and fought it.

In fact, Romney launched the “superslate” campaign in 2004, based on the idea that the state Republican Party could use Conservative ideals and family values as a wedge issue and gain seats, spending millions of Romney's own dollars and personally campaigning for Republican candidates in traditionally Democratic seats. Despite his efforts, the Republican party lost three seats in the 2004 election. Since then, many legislators have changed their views to reflect growing support for same-sex marriage among their constituents.

Romney promoted a Constitutional amendment to prohibit same sex marriage, but the state legislators failed to back him up on it. One of the original sponsors of the amendment to ban same-sex marriage and legalize civil unions, Brian Lees, said, “Gay marriage has begun, and life has not changed for the citizens of the commonwealth, with the exception of those who can now marry.

He spent millions of his own money fighting it. What did you do, except lie about it?

No, you twisted his words into something he never said.

I voted for Newt Gingrich.

I will be voting for an actual conservative, one that doesn't lie to me, either Virgil Goode of the US Constitution Party, or more probably, writing in Sarah Palin.

I have no use for lying, left-wing, Progressive Liberals, even if they are running against the Devil himself who will destroy our world as we know it <\SARCASM TO ABO CHICKEN LITTLE GARBAGE>

Of course, she’s just a RINO, right?

Supporting progressive Romney and supporting his elitist amoral social mentality and socialist ideology are two different things. So now you are a socialist in favor of Romneycare, abortion and rearranging marriage around the butts of homos, I suppose.
