Santorum Leading Romney Nationally by Eight Points

THIS has to be prayer! Wow.

By the way..do you hear the deafening silence from Anne Fox and MCFL?

When a real prolifer is gaining on the candidates who give Mass Citizens for Life money, sit by your computer and wait for MCFL to help the prolifer get elected. When you see bupkis, you'll know it's them.

Their silence is actually an improvement from the passive-aggressive press releases to sabotage prolife candidates. Her usual and customary talking point 'he won't get momentum/can't win' would be limited to people who don't read secular newspapers. So hopefully, she's stumped.

Anne Fox of MCFL is the Massachusetts Doug Kmiec

Anne Fox and MCFL is beginning to chalk up more of a history contradicting, rebutting and damaging the pro-life agenda than working for it.

Here's her latest.

C. J. Doyle, executive director of the Catholic Action League of Massachusetts, acknowledges that Romney did well to veto the bill, but was displeased by his decision to heed his lawyers’ advice and nullify the older conscience statute. “It was Governor Romney who effectively pulled the rug out from under Catholic hospitals by coming up with this rather novel, unheard-of interpretation of this pre-existing statute,” he says.

Anne Fox, president of Massachusetts Citizens for Life, reflects on the incident with more sympathy for Romney. “His lawyers came in and said, ‘This is the way it has to be,’” she says of the December 2005 incident. “I’m not sure how many people would have said, ‘Well, I don’t care.’ I don’t know what else he might have done.”

In January, the Romney campaign quoted Fox in an e-mail to supporters, saying, “Romney has had a consistent commitment to the culture of life” since he was elected as governor, without commenting on his other actions.

“The veto,” she says, “was a big thing.”

The veto was a dog and pony show. He knew they had the votes to trump the veto.

It wouldn't be so painful if she were simply making an ass out of herself, but she is making an ass out of the very logic we need to use on the exact same order Obama is now giving Catholic Hospitals. We had state and federal laws protecting Catholics in Catholic Hospitals and Romney chose to trump it with an order.

Anne doesn't seem to have her facts right. Romney has numerous lawyers on his staff. There might have been one that told him that federal and state laws didn't protect Catholics from being forced to give abortifacients but others whose only agenda is interpretation of the law told him the law does protect Catholics. We had numerous constitutional lawyers of our own sit down with Romney and point him to the laws.

He didn't make his decision based on the law. He made it because he said he did not hold the law protecting Catholic conscience protections in his heart of hearts. Romney said his deepest convictions, in his heart of hearts, was that giving abortofacients free of charge was more important than Catholic conscience protections. He is the author of obamacare, replete with taxpayer funded abortions.

Can anyone make sense out of her chicanery?

What could possibly be her gripe with Obama? Obamacare is the law and the lawyers are telling Obama that's just the way it is. How could he say "well I don't care?"

We are surrounded by useful idiots.

Rick did an op ed at Politico that nailed it:

"He said then that he believed 'in his heart of hearts' that receiving these contraceptives – free of charge – trumped employees' religious consciences. Now, a few years later and running for president, his heart is strategically aligned with religious voters opposing this federal mandate," wrote Santorum in Politico.

Here's Romney's exact quote:

"My personal view, in my heart of hearts, is that people who are subject to rape should have the option of having emergency contraception or emergency contraception information," Romney said in 2005, according to Gitcho.

When it comes right down to it, as it stands now, Romney violations of the constitutional rights of Catholics was worse than Obama's. Why is she still shilling for Romney? Has she or MCFL come out to endorse, help, support Rick Santorum?

Anne. Put a sock in it. Please.

Support Santorum (75% do NOT Support Romney!)

Nobody has a crystal ball in who the nominee will be, but judging from the support on the level of the grassroots voters, I wholeheartedly agree with Gingrich that the Mittens will NOT be the nominee.

When there are legitimate prolifers in a political race and it looks like they could actually win, why, in the Name of Christ, would a group get together to go out of their way to endorse a proabort?

Massachusetts Prolife Advocates say Romney is Prolife

Look, of course they have to 'say' it, because when we all look at Romneys record, it isn't 'prolife' at all. They've got to take the same positions they oppose with Obama and then claim they believe those positions to be 'prolife'.

This is political suicide.

If those positions are 'prolife' when Romney takes them, they are 'prolife' when Obama takes them.

This is the reason why prochoice candidates keep defeating prolifers.

They've taken a couple of things and given them a good spin, but here's everything you need to know about whether Romney is 'prolife'.

1. Romney said that he does not favor a federal constitutional amendment banning abortion, but instead favors each state deciding for itself whether to allow abortion or not. (Suppose Lincoln had taken that approach on the slavery issue. )

2. Gov. Romney signed into law a universal health insurance plan that (a) includes increased state-funded abortions, and (b) names Planned Parenthood in the law as an overseer. Romney never challenged any of that.

3. Romney said he would disagree with governmental intervention in the Terri Schiavo forced starvation case, adding "I think it's probably best to leave these kinds of matters in the hands of the courts."

4. Gov. Romney forced Catholic hospitals in Massachusetts to dispense the "morning after" pill.

5. Romney said he does not object to stem cell research using left over human embryos.

6. Although Romney vetoed pro-abortion legislation after his "conversion", it always appeared to be for political effect. The Legislature always overrode the vetoes. We never saw Romney exert any substantial effort to get his vetoes
sustained

Romney's current view on abortion appears to be based more on a procedural stance than a moral view and is not necessarily a pro-life view.

Instead of focusing on the moral case against abortion, Romney has repeatedly stated he wants the people to vote on this issue, which, in of in itself is not a pro-life position unless you also agree to use your position to pass pro-life legislation. But when pressed on whether he would support a constitutional amendment banning abortion, he refuses to answer this question. The National Journal (February 10, 2007) pressed him on this point:

Question:

You would favor a constitutional amendment banning abortion with exceptions for the life of the mother, rape and incest. Is that correct?

Romney:

What I've indicated is that I am pro-life, and that my hope is that the Supreme Court will give to the states over time or give to the states soon or give to the states their own ability to make their own decision with regard to their abortion law.

Question:

If a state wanted unlimited abortion?

Romney:

The state would fall into restrictions that had been imposed at the federal level, so they couldn't be more expansive in abortion than currently exists under the law, but they could become more restrictive in abortion provisions. So states like Massachusetts could stay like they are if they so desire, and states that have a different view could take that course. And it would be up to the citizens of the individual states. My view is not to impose a single federal rule on the entire nation -- a one-size-fits-all approach -- but instead allow states to make their own decisions in this regard.


On February 28, 2005 - also after his conversion - Romney said:

I am personally pro-life. However, as governor I would not change the laws of the commonwealth relating to abortion.

Anne Fox from 'Mass Citizens for Life' somehow didn't make it on the list of prolife usual suspects who endorse proaborts but, she sent out her own email endorsing the proabortion, author of obamacare and unconstitutional mandates. She's very fond of Santorum, but she wishes Romney would see his failings in prolife positions and doesn't want to fault them:

Last night a good chunk of the country joined us to watch the results of the Iowa caucuses. Of course, pro-lifers are very fond of Rick Santorum!

We in Massachusetts wish Governor Romney would recognize the failings of state-controlled health care and come up with a better way to accomplish his laudable goals but we do not fault his pro-life position.....In the last few days we have had calls at the MCFL office from operatives of other campaigns trying to get us to criticize Romney's positions on life. The governor's positions are pro-life and we feel confident that they will stay that way.

With 'prolife' operatives like this, who needs prochoice operatives?

There's a prolifer gaining momentum but we don't want him to get the nomination so let's issue a press release for the flip-floping proabort whom 75% of Repulican's won't support.

If 75% of the Republicans want anyone but Romney and the Democrats are going to vote Democrat, math and common sense should enlighten your intellect that Romney would be defeated against Obama.

Frankly, if it comes to a race where the prolifers defeat the prolifer by endorsing the proabort while the prolifers were gaining momentum -and we get stuck with Romney, my efforts are going toward getting the grassroots to sit out the election. We've got to stop feeding the beast and we are better off having everyone know Obama is a proabort. Having our own prolifers pretend Romney's position are prolife is catastrophic to our mission in the longterm.

Santorum is a real prolifer and is gaining momentum. This is the time to get behind him and put a sock in initiatives endorsing candidates whose positions are prochoice. (n.b. The hubris that Rick is against gay marriage and therefore is extreme - coming from our own voting block is blockhead. Obama is against gay marriage)

Latest news out of Iowa is saying there was a counting error and Santorum may have actually WON.

I'm praying for Santorum and I'm going to do and say all I can to support his momentum. That is what all of us should be doing until we see how the cards play out.

The Elephant in the GOP

Romney faces trust deficit with voters.

Ya think?

What World is Mitt Romney Living in?

Is he really readying for a campaign?

Did you see his latest?

He was for mandated healthcare reform before he was against it.

It's hard to believe the human spirit could be so detached from reality.

There's some good clips that exposes Romney's political chicanery HERE.

"I like mandates. The mandates work... Let me tell you what kind of mandates I like, Fred," Romney said, addressing former senator Fred Thompson (R-Tenn.) at the debate.

"Here's my view: if somebody, if somebody can afford insurance and decides not to buy it and then they get sick they ought to pay their own way... If you can afford to buy insurance, then buy it. You don't have to, if you don't want to buy it. But then you gotta to put enough money aside that you can pay your own way," Romney said....

An even bigger problem for Romney looms with the Supreme Court ruling on the individual mandate question, expected early next year.

I'm dead serious when I say there's something pathological going on there.

And, by the by, I have a theory about Donald Trump. He's the genius plan from the Dems to hijack the Tea Party.

Ron Paul?!!!

If there was ever a shot across the bow of the GOP ship, this is it!
