Romney Hoax Fails To Fool Evangelicals That He Is a Conservative

Was the Copenhagen Global Warming Summit Walk-Out a Win for the U.S.?


The weird truth is: evangelical leaders are among the most public Romniacs beating the drum for him. A coalition of evangelical leaders, including Gary Bauer, prominent Southern Baptists, theologians and numerous big name pastors, like John Hagee, have sung the Romney Kool Aid song. Fortunately, the sheep have ignored their staggering shepherds.

When you've drunk Romney's kool aid reality becomes inverted: 1. He's a conservative. He is? How did he get elected to the most liberal state in the U.S.? 2. He's the only one who can beat Hillary. He is? Polls show any of the Republican candidates could but that Romney is the least likely . 3. He's a smart money man. He is? How come experts are calling his health care plan a fiscal Frankenstein at birth? How come almost every Massachusetts' city and town has rejected it as unaffordable?

Romney declared we should not be focused on his religion in his religion speech. So why has he focused us on his religion? And if he truly believes "religion shouldn't be used as a litmus test" in politics, then why is he using religion as a litmus test in politics? According to Mitt, any evangelical not interested in him flunks his religion litmus test and is guilty of "ugly bigotry." Like Hewitt says, "they are not to be trusted."

Not only is his governor's record more liberal than Hillary's Senate record but he has her husband's creepy habit of looking straight into the camera and delivering bold fibs. "I'm pro-life...I'm for family values...I've been a lifelong hunter."

He vowed to uphold the U.S. Constitution and mentioned John Adams twice in his speech. Unfortunately, he violated the Adam's-authored Massachusetts Constitution when he legitimized gay marriage in the Cradle of Liberty. Would Adams agree with Hugh about Mitt if he saw Romney flouted his constitution in a governor's command to town clerks and justices of the peace to sign gay marriage certificates or resign?

Romney's speech declaration, "I live by my Mormon faith," is rudely contradicted by the health care plan he gave Massachusetts. Romneycare has made abortion a health care benefit and has given Planned Parenthood a permanent spot on the plan's board. Mormon doctrine is pro-life. And Mitt says: "I am firmly pro-life." Guess it depends on what you mean by the word "am."

As we've shown in numerous exposes that the media continue to ignore, Mitt achieved what Hillary couldn't. Hillary couldn't get a government health care plan established. Mitt did. She could never get abortion as a health care benefit. Mitt did. Hillary couldn't get gay marriage instituted. Mitt did.

Romney is the Elephant in the Living Room that the best and brightest can't see.

Thank you Gregg
Thanks Gregg for getting the word out about this guy. The Mittster is just no good. There's something Hillary-like about this guy. I still recall the debate Mitt had with "The Swimmer" back in 1994 when asked whether he would support Reaganite policies, he came back and said he didn't even vote for Reagan. This in spite of the fact that Reagan won not once but TWICE in MA! I had a feeling back then that there was something wrong with him, then after being elected Gov. in 2002, he showed his true colors.

As for who I am backing, I will vote for any of the Republicans but Mitt. If Mitt gets the nomination, then I will pray for the country because we'll wind up with Hillary.

Anyway Thanks again Gregg for all your work here and on Pundit Review radio and web. All the best for 2008!

For all the Religious Nuts...
"Isn't it amazing how self-pitying and self-aggrandizing the religious freaks in this country are? It's not enough that they can make straight-faced professions of "faith" at election times and impose their language on everything from the Pledge of Allegiance to the currency. It's not enough that they can claim tax exemption and even subsidy for anything "faith-based." It's that when they are even slightly criticized for their absurd opinions, they can squeal as if being martyred and act as if they are truly being persecuted."
