Or will he blame it on Obama, like Obama did Bush, like Bush did Clinton, and Clinton did Bush?
And like Adam blamed Eve.

Exactly and the primary cycle has been Chicago style for the Repubs. No difference.

I never said one word about you respecting what Romney said lol

His gay, pandering, adoption comment is just as stupid - "I happen to believe that the best setting for raising a child is where this is the opportunity to a mom and a dad to be in the home," Romney said. "I know there are many circumstances where that is not possible, through death or divorce. I also know many gay couples are able to adopt children. That's fine."
And does that make him a worse choice than Obama?

Again, as a Christian, you want me to respect and support that?
I don't ask you to do anything.

Look at your facts, it's based on the "fact" that there are less gays, yet admits there are a LOT of Heterosexuals that are pedophiles.

And gay men often HIDE themselves behind a heterosexual marriage so keeping out gay men does not prevent pedophiles

BTW The BSs have had a LOT of pedophiles hit their ranks and get kicked out and rejoin somewhere else so having a policy against gays does not do anything

Who you gonna vote for?

Homosexual Males are Sexually Attracted to Underage Boys

· A study in Archives of Sexual Behavior found that homosexual men are attracted to young males. The study compared the sexual age preferences of heterosexual men, heterosexual women, homosexual men, and lesbians. The results showed that, in marked contrast to the other three categories, "all but 9 of the 48 homosexual men preferred the youngest two male age categories," which included males as young as age fifteen.[36]

· Many pedophiles, in fact, consider themselves to be homosexual. A study of 229 convicted child molesters in Archives of Sexual Behavior found that "eighty-six percent of offenders against males described themselves as homosexual or bisexual."[40]

Not having a policy would be worse. And I don't have to vote for anyone if I don't want to.

My point of view is that Romney affirms the organization can set it's own rules. He disagrees with those rules. What that means is that if he was making the rules, he would change them.

Taking that further, what that means is that if he becomes President, he can make decisions, he can veto or approve legislation, he can issue executive orders and he can nominate people who are like-minded in offices of influence.

Well he can't really without congressional approval

Re: Convicted to STOP Romney

So what would you do about homsexuals and pedophiles then PO? Since they are sinners and you don't want any "pandering" to them...how do you deal with them?

As I mentioned before, I suppose you would encourage them to be taken out of society and put into camps maybe? Dropped on some island and left for dead? Barred from working any job or functioning in "d3ecent" society perhaps? You are the type who probably loved HUckabee when he ran in 08 and said he would like to wrewrite the constitution to be more CHristian.

Do you have any clue how bad your comments sound? Your gay coments make me think maybe you have a white robe and hood in your closet.

We should not endorse sin, but we also shouldn't treat sinners like lepers or effectively make it impossible for them to live in society. Maybe some want a theocratic country where only those who live "right" are allowed rights here, but I don't. I think the free society we have is pretty great.

If you have such a problem with gays, perhaps try to win them to CHrist that He may heal them instead of arguing their ban from society.

I don't know. I know I've said publicly that I would not support Obama, but I am telling you all the truth.

Romney is going to be BAD NEWS for the whole country!


I think I am going to look up the local Obama organizers here to do what I can to stop the coming evil.
Folks, JD is sitting back and laughing...

He likes to stir the pot...
