Gov. Mitt Romney Is the Right Choice For President

By: Congressman Mike Conaway (R-TX)
Midland Reporter-Telegram
Saturday, Mar 24, 2007

"Gov. Mitt Romney is the right choice for president
[...]

"We face many challenges as a nation. We need a president who will bring a new type of leadership to Washington – a proven leader that can unite our nation and lead to a stronger America. As governor of Massachusetts, Romney held to his conservative values while working with one of the most liberal state legislatures in the country."

Dallas minister urges vote for a Christian, not Romney

A prominent Dallas minister told his congregation that if they wanted to elect a Christian to the White House, Republican Mitt Romney wasn't qualified.


Robert Jeffress, pastor of First Baptist Church of Dallas, encouraged his congregation to elect a Christian. 'Mitt Romney is a Mormon, and don't let anybody tell you otherwise,' he said.

Dr. Robert Jeffress, pastor of First Baptist Church of Dallas, said that Mormonism is a false religion and that Mr. Romney was not a Christian.

"Mitt Romney is a Mormon, and don't let anybody tell you otherwise," Dr. Jeffress said in a sermon Sept. 30. "Even though he talks about Jesus as his Lord and savior, he is not a Christian. Mormonism is not Christianity. Mormonism is a cult."

Some in the large crowd began to applaud as Dr. Jeffress continued with his remarks.

"What really distresses me is some of my ministerial friends and even leaders in our convention are saying, 'Oh, well, he talks about Jesus, we talk about Jesus. What's the big deal?' " he said. "It is a big deal if anybody names another way to be saved except through Jesus Christ."

Just because he was Governor of a blue state doesnt mean he'll work with Democrats in Washington. He has flip flopped on many of his positions.

Not much of surprise since only evangelical is the right religion. :roll:

Every other candidate uses the same divide and conquer mentality that has been so prevalent in the last 20+ years.

We'll see how uniting he is when he announces how he'll cut $500+ billion from the Govt to fund his tax cuts and balance the budget.

The only way someone can be a "uniter" is by compromising.

:2funny:

Ron Paul's congressional record hardly shows that he's a "uniter." He's been the lone dissenter on more 434-1 votes than anyone else in the history of the US Congress.

If you like, claim that he was correct on those votes. But let's not pretend that he's a uniter, unless you're talking about uniting everyone against him.

His presidential platform is different then his house platform.

He is the only guy that could get along with Kuchinich and the religious right at the same time.

And he is definitely willing to compromise. For instance he considers abortion to be murder but will compromise and allow states to decide the issue.

He already has proved that his support is strong from within both camps. Heck - Moveon.org featured an ad of him so he is even uniting PAC's.

whether or not Paul "is" the uniter (in your opinion), is an altogether different question than the one that was asked.

Is anyone running on "Im a uniter not a divider" slogan yet?

I don't believe a slogan has ever been recycled so soon, so no.

If Guliani wins the nomination I hope they dust off the 'ol "In your guts you know he's nuts" slogan though.

Baptists sometimes look at things "through the narrow gauge of a simplistic personal ethic" or through the prism of their own religious extremism. While some Baptists may not vote for a presidential candidate who they believe isn't a Christian nor watch TV programs that aren't Christian or listen to music that isn't Christian or read books that aren't Christian those people are what we'd call extremists.

Consider this account of some extremist Baptists who looked favorably upon Adolph Hitler because he was a non-smoker and non-drinker.

Knowing now the depth of the violence which was beginning to grip Berlin in 1934, we wonder why some Baptists, particularly Americans, were susceptible to Hitler’s propaganda. What in their appraisal of foreign affairs allowed them to be seduced by Nazism? How could they support a regime so incompatible with peace and justice?

For one thing, Baptist delegates tended to assess larger social issues through the narrow gauge of a simplistic personal ethic. The Alliance noted, “It is reported that Chancellor Adolf Hitler gives to the temperance movement the prestige of his personal example since he neither uses intoxicants nor smokes” (Official Report of the Fifth Baptist World Congress). Even Dr. Sampey, wary of the Nazis, cautioned against too-hasty judgment of a leader who had stopped German women from smoking cigarettes and wearing red lipstick in public. After being so afraid to enter Germany, Dr. Bradbury, once there, found himself delighted with the forced morality of the fascists. He wrote:

It was a great relief to be in a country where salacious sex literature cannot be sold; where putrid motion pictures and gangster films cannot be shown. The new Germany has burned great masses of corrupting books and magazines along with its bonfires of Jewish and communistic libraries (Watchman-Examiner XXII 37 (September 13, 1934).

Surely a leader who does not smoke or drink, who wants women to be modest, and who is against pornography cannot be all bad, or so the reasoning went. As M. E. Aubrey of England observed in the Baptist Times, Hitler had “brought almost a new Puritanism, which makes its appeal to our Baptist friends, and for the sake of which they can overlook much that cuts across their natural desires.” Baptists from the United States ignored the fact that interpreters were barred from even rendering the word “democracy” in Aubrey’s speech. Priority was placed on personal habits, to the detriment of larger, more vital issues.

How Baptists Assessed Hitler

Those particular Baptists favored Hitler for the wrong reasons. These Baptists you've splendidly brought to our attention DIS-favor Romney for the wrong reason.

I'm not against Baptists, but that kind of extremism is what we're fighting in the WoT. I hope you keep that in mind in your future posts.

Unless you are one of those extremist Baptists!? Or do you just agree with them??? :thumbdown

I can just imagine Tim Meadows (the SNL "Ladies Man") doing an SNL skit for Obama but instead of his Courvoisier he'd pour a glass of Riunite (re-unite) Lambrusco.




Here's a transcript from one of his SNL skits.

Just because he was Governor of a blue state doesnt mean he'll work with Democrats in Washington. He has flip flopped on many of his positions.

Uh, the label of flip flopper is bogus as he was of the mind that because the predominantly LIBERAL citizens of Massachusetts had voted for abortion they wanted abortion and when he looked into his soul and asked himself if he could support that and he thought he could he said what he believed at that time. But how many times do you embark on a venture or pursue a course and somewhere down the line realize that you just can't continue any further down that road?

Is a Gay person who comes out of the closet a flip flopper? Is a young woman who realizes she doesn't want to marry her fiance a flip-flopper? Is a student who changes his major when he happens to realize he hates accounting and would be a terrible accountant and a miserable husband, a flip flopper?

Sometimes people really have a change of heart.

Flip flopping means having no real commitment and being willing or eager to shift positions with the political winds.

Do you seriously believe Romney is disingenuous about ANY of the issues he has stated his position on?

I don't.

We willl have a secure border and a sound economy. We won't have to borrow money to pay for our wars abroad or entitlements at home.

We will be much stronger.

 

[Kandahar]

His presidential platform is different then his house platform.

Then I expect to never see you criticize any other candidate for their votes or actions while they were in public office.

He is the only guy that could get along with Kuchinich and the religious right at the same time.

That doesn't make him a uniter. That makes him a uniter of the far left and far right...which is maybe 10% of the electorate.

And he is definitely willing to compromise. For instance he considers abortion to be murder but will compromise and allow states to decide the issue.

That isn't a compromise; he truly believes in federalism. I see no evidence he would be willing to compromise on ANY issue. His House record certainly does not suggest he would be.

He already has proved that his support is strong from within both camps. Heck - Moveon.org featured an ad of him so he is even uniting PAC's.

Again, there's a difference between uniting liberals, moderates, and conservatives...and uniting the far left and far right.

 

[Cold Highway]

I want a candidate who is small government, low taxes, a fiscal conservative but also who is pro-choice, pro-gay rights, and stays out of my family and personal matters. Now who the **** would that be.

I really think someone should check out the tax exempt status of these churches.:thumbdown

 

[disneydude]

In this election - This is the #1 issue for me. I am looking for the candidate that I think truly can unite this Country.
GWB has done so much damage in dividing this country for his political advantage. I am looking for the candidate that can repair that divide and bring us together as a country. The divide we have now is a bigger threat to American that any terrorist group, because if we aren't together as a country, we are a weak nation.
Abraham Lincoln once warned that if destruction be our lot, we ourselves must be its author and its finisher.

We need a leader who will restore respect for human values, respect for individuality and diversity in America. Someone who can once again lead by example.

For me, the only two candidates that I see ANY possibility in in reaching THIS task is Obama or Romney...and despite the fact that Romney's views are almost completely opposite mine, at this point I would cast my ballot for him if he ran against anyone other than Obama.

From what I have read recently the IRS is cracking down on Churches and others that politicize the pulpit.

I don't need a pro-choice or pro-gay rights canidate, I just need a canidate that will let the states decide individually. If you're gay in Texas you need to move.

Abortion is a little harder, because I do think that women should have access to abortion and it's pretty hard for pregnant 16 year olds to make it all the way to New York or California. Although, thinking about it it, those pregnant 16 year olds would probably grow up into miserable homophobic evangelicals, so maybe they can just suffer.
