Romney at Heritage

I wish we could have backed up all the Romney videos before they went away from the Massachusetts website. Can we e-mail this to as many people as we can? Can we "podcast" it? http://www.heritage.org/Press/Events/ev091405b.cfm Google e-mails MP3s very well. ~ Mike

Why Ralph Likes Romney

"I worked with Mitt Romney on several projects when I lived in Boston in the late 70s and early 80s. I found him consistent, professional, and disciplined in all aspects of his life. His focus was always on making things work better. His desire for excellence included making himself better too. He knew well how to balance all the responsibilities in his life and was never an extremist. Respectful of others and open to different points of view, he was always willing to listen and learn from divergent sources. He never forced his faith on anyone, but there was no question that his many strengths came from his strong core values. Central to these values was "doing." He lived the principle that knowledge only has value when used at the right time, in the right place, and for the right reason. His effective leadership style fostered the learning and development of others, such that others became self-motivated, independent, and productive. He was neither arbitrary nor myopi...

SOB for POTUS?

Image
Taken from a Tim McNabb article and modified for Mitt Romney One of the chronic with the Bush Administration is that the President is insufficiently vindictive to deal with the enemies of this republic, both foreign and domestic. President Bush is often nicer to his enemies than he is to his friends. Mitt Romney, however, strikes me as a guy who can be a really mean SOB, a man not to be crossed. I am a social conservative, and I try to be a good practitioner of Christianity (with varying degrees of success; please don't blame Jesus for my failures). Admiring vindictive SOBs may strike the casual observer as a contradiction, but as it says in Ecclesiastes, there is a time for peace, and a time for war. Spite for the sake of spite is a vice, but if an opponent has proven itself to be unwilling to accept the carrot, a stick is necessary. Failure to apply the stick in that situation is no virtue. Spare the rod, spoil the liberal, to misuse holy writ. Romney may be just the SOB t...

Bill Keller on Mitt Romney

Image
In the 1990s he served two years in federal prison. On May 11th he sent an e-mail to 2.4 million e-mail subscribers that said, "If you vote for Mitt Romney, you are voting for Satan!" Matt. 7: 16-20   16 Ye shall a know them by their b fruits . Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?   17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth a good b fruit ; but a c corrupt tree bringeth forth d evil fruit .   18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit , neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit .   19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good a fruit is b hewn down, and cast into the fire.   20 Wherefore by their a fruits ye shall know them. Christ said to judge people by their fruits. Who is better the guy who spent two years in the federal prison or Mitt Romney? I don't know much about Bill Keller, but I assume that he does not agree with the Jewish Religion. Is a vote for a Jew, also a vote for the ...
