Re: Is Mitt Romney a PLINO– Pro Life In Name Only?

MichaelMaedoc — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 00:16:32 -0000

PLINO is a great term for him. He has failed to renounce Romneycare which has paid for abortions all along and infringed on religious freedoms. Its a big government setup that imposes regulations that could not otherwise be passed by the legislature.

Another tremendous article Mark. I am astounded that out of the 4 remaining candidates---that this is even a contest. Newt is the clear choice---not even close. Look forward to more thoughtful articles like this one that really nail the issue.

Of course if we really want to beat Obama, we will have to elect Ron Paul as the republican candidate. He will pull the votes of republicans, libertarians, constitution party, independents, youth and blue dog dems. Newt will do good to even get the republican vote and has no hope in the world of getting the votes of the other groups or of the Ron Paul supporting republicans. If Newt is the candidate, it will be McCain act 2.

This is ridiculous, typically conservatives have to worry about the leftist media misconstruing things, taking everything out of context, and saying things about them that are just plain false. But now I suppose we have to worry about conservatives doing the same thing, just to make sure the candidate they support gets the nomination. What's going to happen to the candidate that gets the nomination, if all the conservative media is lying about him as well.

There is of course going to be fighting between the candidates, each is trying to represent why they are better for the job. And there is of course going to be this kind of thing between Ron Paul supporters, and everyone else, because that's all they ever do.

You're right about one thing, we conservatives need to be careful not to blow it, but here's the thing, Newt is seriously hurting right now, and if he doesn't come back, the best you've done here is help Mitt Romney get the nomination, or hurt Santorum's chances in the general election. All because, my guess is, you were offended by something you didn't understand, or you heard a quote taken out of context. Or possibly you work for Gingrich.

I actually like Newt, and I would vote for him, but mostly we just can't have 4 more years of Obama.

So my plea to you, is support Newt all you want, encourage others to vote for him, keep pushing him and where he stands on the issues, but stop spewing erroneous crap about other candidates just to convince others to support him, cause it just makes you look ignorant, and in the long run helps the liberals.

What a load of crap! YOU'RE MAKING A PLEA TO CONSERVATIVES TO SUPPORT A PROGRESSIVE! Newt is NO conservative. He's a Progressive with some conservative views. I don't disagree with his conservative views but I fear his progressive ones! I also fear his Character (which our founders said was the most important thing to consider in judging who we select as leaders!) He has proven time and time again his lack of character!

Don't forget he attacked Romney from the LEFT! Rush was even saying he had a chance of Obama picking him as his running mate!

Why don't you look into Newt's new book (due to come out in 2013) that pushes the global warming agenda! Why don't you re-watch what he said from the Mike Huckabee debate on December 4th (from the Huckabee debate) in which Newt STOOD BY THE MESSAGE CONTAINED IN THE NANCY PELOSI COMMERCIAL! HE SAID IT WAS "ACCURATE"! ...AND THAT IT WAS ONLY DUMB BECAUSE SHE (NANCY P.) BECAME SO RADIOACTIVE, THAT HER NEGATIVES OVERSHADOWED THE MESSAGE!

.....all while he said he was opposed to Cap and Trade. Yet the message of the commercial (which he STILL stands by) said that we should "demand action" from our government officials! What kind of actions exactly?
They also directed people to Al Gore's website! (wecansolveit.org)
Which pushes for cap and trade and global environmentalist treaties, etc!

Newt's the worst kind of politician. Only a fool would support him!

Nailed on the head! Newt is the only candidate that can do what needs to be done for this country right now. We do not need another version of Obama...which is exactly what Romney is. Newt has baggage, but he also has metal...the kind of proven record that shows he can get the job done...not just glad-handing with empty promises and no ability to come through. And remember that Newt is not so far "above" the middle class in this country that he can't hear us. He hears us just fine. He has earned all that he has. Definitely has my vote of approval now and hopefully in November!

"Regardless of what you may think about homosexuality, I think most of us can agree that comparing it with incest, pedophilia, and bestiality may be a bit extreme." Wow. Misdirection AND taking a quote out of context in the same inapplicable point. Sadly, a typically leftist tactic being used by a so-called conservative. The alleged comparison you are citing is that Santorum is identifying homosexuality as a DIFFERENT kind of sin than those other behaviors. This whole article is the most anti-intellectual case against Santorum I've ever read. And we "homophobes" are supposed to be the fearmongers . . . *sheesh*.

Mark, thank you for this well-written article! I have some of the same misgivings as you express. Although I have met and liked Rick Santorum as a person, I continue to hope conservatives' eyes will be opened to how impossible it would be for him to win the Presidency, and if he were to win, how unlikely he would be for him to accomplish much. The crisis of the times calls for a strong leader, with well-thought-out ideas and plans, one who has the experience and toughness to persist in implementing the changes needed. My prayers are that Gingrich will again surge. America does need him, now., against the tough campaign Obama will wage, as well as for bringing America back to strength in foreign policies, economic revitalization, and promotion of personal freedoms.

Sounds like Tara is a self-important, intolerant hypocrite who hasn't learned respect for differing opinions. Does Simmons College offer refunds for those who received degrees without actually getting an education? Unfortunately, it sounds like there will be seven close-minded drones carrying on mom's hate campaign for decades to come. Poor kids -they don't stand a chance.

I cannot believe this woman actually blamed abortion on God. I have never heard such an atrocious thing. That woman and Obama can "keep their change!" I'll stick with the 46% with the "right" view!

Great article Tara!!! Thanks for speaking the truth. Is it ironic that our MA state bird, the black-capped chickadee, is a singing bird? Hopefully these 'birds' in Massachusetts will not drown out the truth and the need to put an end to the culture of death.

Well written and right on!!! It's a shame that 54% of Catholics can't seem to get it, while the rest of us have to keep the faith and keep on praying. With the events of today and what has come out from our Bishops in condemning ObamaCare maybe they will finally wake up and realize they are on the wrong side of the issue, and that is to vote Obama out of office.

An excellent piece by Tara Kozub, exposing the hippocracy of many members (including clergy) of the Catholic faith! Mrs. Kozub has a wonderful way of pulling back the veil of political correctness and exposing the truth on many of the issues of our day!

Thank you for being one of those brave enough to speak out, Tara. That is such an important part of bringing the truth forth. Wonderful article

Great article speaking sheer truth, which is becoming more difficult to decipher today amidst the overwhelming amount of (mis)information out there. The key will be to stay faithful to our Lord Jesus Christ to remain on the side of truth. The devil knows his time is short, thus all this rush toward evil now.

Well said, Tara! Marpeco5 may be right, but the faithful must remember to pray for the hardness of hearts to be softened and the veils to be lifted. Catholics--unite for Life, from conception to natural death. Nope to Obama 2012!

ggml1963 — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 12:17:35 -0000

I commend Tara on her bravery in addressing this issue. I am appalled that a fellow "Catholic" would say that MY GOD is at fault! The God I worship and adore does not have any faults! The God I bow down before loves and promotes life! We can no longer sing loud enough to drown out the cries of death around us! We who choose life, must stand up for it. (I am so pleased that The Bishops have stated they will NOT be complying with the mandates ordering them to go against fundamental beliefs of life!!)

God bless you for speaking the truth, we can and must try to ring the alarm, sad to say some hearts will remain hardened, veils unlifted....

Re: Why Evangelicals Should Embrace Newt Gingrich

Thomasbryner78 — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 00:24:12 -0000

i agree with the writer but the thing is if newt win's it is going to be very very hard for him to win the women vote not to mention the minority vote.i believe that newt has asked to be forgiven by god and we are no one to judge him,but remember where we live,in a country that has lost all of it's morels there are no family valu's left in the usa,and dont even get me started on god,we dont even put god first anymore the first thing this country need's to do is get on it's knees and pray for god to forgive us for taking him out of almost every thing thus great nation was built on maybe then newt would be able to win
