“Why on earth would a Christian think we’re supposed to go around without differentiating between right and wrong?”

of course one should use the Holy Scriptures as a basis of determining right from wrong, but i don’t want to face my maker, and have The Good Lord ask me why i was so quick to judge and find fault in the heart and mind of another fellow being, claiming that i have that same power of omniscience as God. i may interpret the scriptures one way and pray that my interpretation is correct, and act accordingly, but i will not stand in judgment of another. i may assume he is wrong, but will not condemn him for it, unless it leads to harm of another.

47% people are looking for freebies,

This is true but not all of them vote. Many are too lazy to make the effort.

A real conservative that ran as a populist would not only bring the conservative vote out but all those millions of voters that sit out because they are tired of voting for the same two idiots the Republicrat/Dumbocan Party digs up every four years.

If a bill passed banning every gun in the nation Mitt Romney wouldn’t be enraged about it, just one of several issues he doesn’t feel in his gut. He was playing a role, and it showed.

Gee, an old fashioned romneybot, making a personal attack out of nowhere.

You guys are an interesting type of devotee to the Reagan hating, pro-abortion, anti-gun guy who gave us gay marriage and wanted to homosexualize everything from the Boy Scouts to the military, for more than 20 years.

Romney was a founding Father of Main Street Republicans, I have never trusted him.

[presently no screen name]

But he was too too goody good to do that.

Too goody to obama but NOT NEWT and conservatives in general. He is a lying SOS. Nothing good about him unless you think evil is good.

[DManA]

No no no. We are to blame. We did not live up to high standards of the GOPe. We let them down. We are to blame.

At least that’s what this jack ass thinks.

RE :”I had Republicans here try to tell me that Romney was a good candidate. Same with McCain.
......
They'll be back...they'll be back. Won't matter which loser the GOPe picks next.

Sorry, I was a lazy when I posted that above. I meant the Republicans here in Maryland not so much FR. The Bob Erhlich Republicans.

But as far as FR goes,
I tried to behave myself here once Romney won the nomination but I remember two threads after the second or third debates calling for Romney to go after Obama on Benghazi, and I jumped in and agreed that Romney was giving Obama a free pass,
and you should read the sh.t I got from the GOP loyalists saying Romney shouldn't bring up Benghazi and claiming that the media would do it for him.

[presently no screen name]

I see what you mean...those who live in fear nauseate me.

RE :”And they're still around on this board—They especially dislike Sarah Palin (”uneducated”; “a quitter”). “

Hey dude,

I was as down on McCain and Romney as anyone here and was sure they would lose, but I still love tweeking the Palinistas about her play acting POTUS run in 2011, and what suckers they were.

Its too memorable to let go, "That's the problem Greta, I have the fire in my belly" , LOL

[Deathtomarxists]

You fool. Its people like you who never stood firm in your convictions who have brought us into dictatorship. Shut up and get the hell off this forum.

As defeat settled in, Romney discussed what to say in a concession speech -- which, for all his natural pessimism, Romney had not considered ahead of time. And it was in that moment that some of Romney's passion about the race finally came out, far from the view of voters and television cameras. Stevens suggested that the losing candidate should play an almost "pastoral" role, "soothing" the American people after a long and divisive campaign.

"I don't think it is a time for soothing and everything's fine," said Romney. "I think this is a time for [saying], 'This is really serious, guys. This is really serious.'"

"To get up and soothe is not my inclination," an obviously anguished Romney continued. "I cannot believe that [Obama] is an aberration in the country. I believe we're following the same path of every other great nation, which is we're following greater government, tax rich people, promise more stuff to everybody, borrow until you go over a cliff. And I think we have a very high risk of reaching the tipping point sometime in the next five years. And the idea of saying 'it's just fine, don't worry about it' -- no, it's really not."

Romney got it. Unlike McCain, he understood how serious it was to have Obama as President. For all the negative attacks people make about him, he understood the significance of this election beyond his own personal loss. It was/is a loss for the nation.

"In some ways, we kind of had to steal the Republican nomination. Our party is southern, evangelical and populist. And you're northern, and you're Mormon, and you're rich. And these do not match well with our party."

Check this out...!

" claiming that i have that same power of omniscience as God. "

You have to be omniscient to distinguish false teaching? Why, then, does the Bible tell us to do so? God knows we aren't omniscient.

"i may interpret the scriptures one way and pray that my interpretation is correct,"

Well, I'm pretty sure you won't be able to "interpret" that God was formerly a man and that He impregnated Mary. (The blasphemy of that alone should tell you all you need to know).

" and act accordingly, but i will not stand in judgment of another."

Why not, when Scripture instructs us to make a righteous judgment?

" i may assume he is wrong, but will not condemn him for it, unless it leads to harm of another."

Yeah, that mealymouthed oh-I-don't-want-to-offend-you strain of Christianity is rampant these days. What would folks like you have thought about Jesus when He threw the moneychangers out of the temple? Bet you'd have been scandalized.

[ansel12]

If you belong to a Christian church, then your church does not consider Bishop Romney’s religion, as Christian, it is unanimous.

Mormonism is a polytheistic religion, and Mitt Romney believes that he is in the process of becoming God, and will in time, be God the Father to his own planet.

Taking on Christians and Christianity in service to Mormonism, and using the Christian bible to do it.
Why not use the Book of Mormon, which is the bible that the Mormon religion places above the Christian bible?

[svcw]

Amazing that Romney and or Christie are being pushed on FR
I say hell, NO!

[svcw]

Now why would Romney have done that, he only trashes conservatives.

[DManA]

Romney/Obama there’s not a centimeter difference. They both are true believers in the power of the state.

[svcw]

Synced, nothing more needs to be said.
