I am ashamed to admit I wasn’t aware of Romney’s attitude toward Israel. In my opinion, the obama administration’s treatment of Israel is nothing short of amoral.
When our only true ally in the Middle East is treated in such a condescending, demeaning manner by obama, is it any wonder that our nation’s reputation has become a punch line in the minds of our enemies !

1 Timothy 5:8 [NIV] -- If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his immediate family he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
If this applies to a man, the leader of a household, how much more to the leaders of countries?
Further, the corruption of Justice (and how Just is it to give the children's meat to dogs [Mat. 15:26] -- Jesus WAS talking of himself being sent to the JEWS, not the GENTILES, which the woman was; likewise our leaders are sent to their position for AMERICANS, not Israelis) is itself reason enough for God to destroy a nation:
Amos 5: 10-15
10 There are those who hate the one who upholds justice in court and detest the one who tells the truth. 11 You levy a straw tax on the poor and impose a tax on their grain. Therefore, though you have built stone mansions, you will not live in them; though you have planted lush vineyards, you will not drink their wine. 12 For I know how many are your offenses and how great your sins. There are those who oppress the innocent and take bribes and deprive the poor of justice in the courts. 13 Therefore the prudent keep quiet in such times, for the times are evil. 14 Seek good, not evil, that you may live. Then the LORD God Almighty will be with you, just as you say he is. 15 Hate evil, love good; maintain justice in the courts. Perhaps the LORD God Almighty will have mercy on the remnant of Joseph.Pv 29:4 -- By justice a king gives a country stability, but those who are greedy for bribes tear it down.
20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. 21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight. 22 Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine and champions at mixing drinks, 23 who acquit the guilty for a bribe, but deny justice to the innocent. 24 Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the LORD Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel. 25 Therefore the LORD’s anger burns against his people; his hand is raised and he strikes them down. The mountains shake, and the dead bodies are like refuse in the streets. Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away, his hand is still upraised.Habakkuk 1
The part of the pledge dealing with cabinet members is stupid, I think, insofar as it’s something that Romney, as a famously experienced manager, can deal with himself during the appointment process. If he wants to name Giuliani as AG and has concerns about his willingness to enforce abortion laws, press him on it during the job interview. If Rudy has a moral objection, then he’s disqualified; if he doesn’t, let him serve so long as he carries out Romney’s policy preferences. Every president deals with underlings who disagree with some of their policies. The problem isn’t disagreement, it’s being unable to put that disagreement aside and be an effective administrator of the administration’s agenda. I’d bet cash money that Giuliani, rescued from political oblivion with a cabinet post, would happily play ball with a pro-life White House.Well said. And shows once again how not-ready-for-prime-time Romney really is.
Your post #19 has a scary ring of truth to it. Although I don’t know what “TP support” is, I can guess it means conservatives.
TP = Tea Party
serously, how many such “pledges” or questionares do politicians recieve from credible and lunatic groups.
(if you become president will you release the evidence of space aliens? (/s))
nobody in their right mind would “just sign” something thrust at them at the point of a demand.
I think actions speak more than mere paper.
Obama said alot but has acted like a commie.
Romney should be judge by the actions.
