Romney: Making the Right Connection

I don't understand the relevance of this post. After all, we've already been told by others in the Swamp that a presidential candidate cannot be judged by the company he keeps.

Who was that varmint hunter?

Mitt who???

Willard Romney should easily win the race for President of Utah.

Photo-op with Pat Robertson? Let's look-up some quotes from one of the leaders of the radical Christian right. Imagine what a scary country we'd live in if we'd let radical Christians take over;

"When I said during my presidential bid that I would only bring Christians and Jews into the government, I hit a firestorm. `What do you mean?' the media challenged me. `You're not going to bring atheists into the government? How dare you maintain that those who believe in the Judeo Christian values are better qualified to govern America than Hindus and Muslims?' My simple answer is, `Yes, they are.'" --from Pat Robertson's "The New World Order," page 218.

"We're going to bring back God and the Bible and drive the gods of secular humanism right out of the public schools of America." --Presidential candidate Pat Buchanan addressing the anti-gay rally in Des Moines, 2-11-96

"Many of those people involved with Adolph Hitler were Satanists, many of them were homosexuals--the two things seem to go together."--Pat Robertson, "The 700 Club," 1/21/93

"I think we ought to close Halloween down. Do you want your children to dress up as witches? The Druids used to dress up like this when they were doing human sacrifice... [Your children] are acting out Satanic rituals and participating in it, and don't even realize it."--Pat Robertson, "The 700 Club," 10/29/82

"We're going to bring back God and the Bible and drive the gods of secular humanism right out of the public schools of America." --Presidential candidate Pat Buchanan addressing the anti-gay rally in Des Moines, 2-11-96

"There is no such thing as separation of church and state in the Constitution. It is a lie of the Left and we are not going to take it anymore." --Pat Robertson, November 1993 during an address to the American Center for Law and Justice

"I am bound by the laws of the United States and all 50 states...I am not bound by any case or any court to which I myself am not a party...I don't think the Congress of the United States is subservient to the courts...They can ignore a Supreme Court ruling if they so choose."--Pat Robertson, Washington Post, June 27,1986)

"You see what happened in 1962. They took prayer out of the schools. The next year the Supreme Court ordered Bible reading taken from the schools. And then progressing, liberals, most of them atheistic educators, have pushed to remove all religion from the lives of children...The people who wrote the "Humanist Manifesto" and their pupils and their disciples are in charge of education in America today." --Pat Robertson, "The 700 Club," January 13, 1995

"The public education movement has also been an anti-Christian movement...We can change education in America if you put Christian principles in and Christian pedagogy in. In three years, you would totally revolutionize education in America." --Pat Robertson,"The 700 Club," September 27, 1993.

"I know this is painful for the ladies to hear, but if you get married, you have accepted the headship of a man, your husband. Christ is the head of the household and the husband is the head of the wife, and that's the way it is, period."--Pat Robertson, "The 700 Club," 1/8/92

"I know this is painful for the ladies to hear, but if you get married, you have accepted the headship of a man, your husband. Christ is the head of the household and the husband is the head of the wife, and that's the way it is, period."--Pat Robertson, "The 700 Club," 1/8/92

(talking about apartheid South Africa) "I think 'one man, one vote,' just unrestricted democracy, would not be wise. There needs to be some kind of protection for the minority which the white people represent now, a minority, and they need and have a right to demand a protection of their rights."--Pat Robertson, "The 700 Club," 3/18/92

"You say you're supposed to be nice to the Episcopalians and the Presbyterians and the Methodists and this, that, and the other thing. Nonsense. I don't have to be nice to the spirit of the Antichrist. I can love the people who hold false opinions but I don't have to be nice to them."--Pat Robertson, The 700 Club, January 14, 1991

"Just like what Nazi Germany did to the Jews, so liberal America is now doing to the evangelical Christians. It's no different. It is the same thing. It is happening all over again. It is the Democratic Congress, the liberal-based media and the homosexuals who want to destroy the Christians. Wholesale abuse and discrimination and the worst bigotry directed toward any group in America today. More terrible than anything suffered by any minority in history."--Pat Robertson, 1993 interview with Molly Ivins

"The mission of the Christian Coalition is simple," says Pat Robertson. It is "to mobilize Christians -- one precinct at a time, one community at a time -- until once again we are the head and not the tail, and at the top rather than the bottom of our political system." Robertson predicts that "the Christian Coalition will be the most powerful political force in America by the end of this decade." And, "We have enough votes to run this country...and when the people say, 'We've had enough,' we're going to take over!"--Pat Robertson

Mitt Romney's political money patron hasn't been indicted like St. Barack's has. Mitt Romney hasn't co-purchased his house with an indicted political fixer.

If you're going to judge people by the company the keep, most people would prefer a candidate who shakes hands with an evangelist, to a candidate who shakes the money tree with Tony Rezko.

Mitt who?

The next President of the United States!

Next photo-op for Mit should be with Ted Haggard.

Speaking of money trees, how about that Enron/Bush connection? Nothing like having your inaguration sponsored by Enron. Photo-op with Ken Lay & George Bush, the evangelist of everything wrong with corporate America? Oh yeah, that too.

Go ahead Bruce, loose another debate.

ken,

Why is Mitt you're man?

Please don't align all Christians with Pat Robertson. I beleive that we are "One Nation Under God" and I think that we should stand firm against the liberal push to take that away from us with their "Pro Anything that is Abominable" attitude. Christ Died for all of our sins and the young men and women of the milatary died for our Freedom, you would think that we could show a little respect for both.

If you are going to condem an entire beleif system on the rantings of just one person then perhaps Christians should judge you based on Charles Manson
You claimed that your post was quotes from Leaders of the Radical Right but you only quoted one person. I guess that's what you call hedging your bet to make a point

I'm Catholic & I choose to stay Catholic.

It's not my business to go around to convince other religions they're wrong or what they can or cannot believe in.

I don't care for any politician pandering to certain faiths within Christianity to then turn around & preach instead of serve this country & all its citizens equally regardless of faith or lack of.

I don't care to have a bible thumped on my head, or a Koran, Torah, King James Bible, or Wican book for that matter.

When I say the pledge of allegiance, I never say "under god". It's not what God would have intended.

I beleive that we are "One Nation Under God"

Who's God is that? Yours? Mine? Pat Robertson's?
Why is it we, as a nation, survived for more than 150 years without the words 'Under God'?

Can't wait to hear what Pat Robertson has to say about Wiccan symbols on headstones in US Military Cemeteries.

Romney is running a distant fourth. It is frightening that anyone pandering to the christian right is doing that well.

The difference between the christian right and some of the radical islam sects often seems thin indeed. In another country and a different setting, I rather suspect that there would be little difference between Pat Robertson and Osama bin Laden.

Please don't take this to mean that I have a lot of use for the Hypocrisy of Hilary, Barak, or Al.
