It is NOT over for conservatives if we have the will and the fortitude to use our God given brains instead of capitulating to the easy, thoughtless choice.
This is just like watching the film "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" when by the end of the film, the people of the resistance give in to their urge to go to sleep. Are we those people - or do we have the courage to see this through to the end? Is America worth the fight?
Those pseudo-journalists at Fox who MANUFACTURED and defrauded their viewers by sitting on facts about Mitt Romney's pathological lies, the most egregious perhaps being the lies where Mitt claimed not to have supported the Federal mandate when he in fact ADVISED Obama to utilize it - those media scoundrels are in high gear now wearing the conservatives down, into submission.
If we look at what our founders pledged against all odds, those of us who quit should be ashamed for giving up and joining the establishment herd in recklessly nominating the ONE Governor, Republican or even Democrat - in the entire nation who inoculates Obama on his most vulnerable positions -
recklessly nominating the ONE candidate in the entire nation who attended a "temple" for the first 13 years of his life that a black man could not attend because his religion taught their skin was black because of a curse-while RUNNING against a black man for President while the media is continually fomenting the false accusations of racism amidst the Trayvon Martin case -
recklessly nominating a former CEO of a "Wall Street" investment banking firm during a time of unprecedented acrimony toward Wall Street by the general population of America.
I have nothing against Wall Street as a former Wall Street professional myself; however, the absurdity of this choice of candidates under the previously expatiated circumstances demonstrates that Willard Mitt Romney must be the singular most SELFISH human being in the nation for even RUNNING for the presidency at this time.
From where might Mitt’s sense of entitlement originate? It is a FACT that Mormon doctrine teaches that Jesus and His Father were mere men who earned their salvation and REACHED "godhood". It is a FACT that the goal of Mormon MEN is to reach godhood themselves. (Women - don't qualify unless they marry Mormon men, hence the virtue of polygamy).
It is apparent that Mitt Romney already has a "god complex" because it takes that degree of arrogance for this man to put his own insatiable need to procure the presidency - ahead of the entire fate of the country.
For a man with all the wrong baggage as previously enumerated at the worst possible time to have it - to STAY in this race, that man must believe he is well on his way to the superiority of godhood; otherwise he must have a degree of contempt for this nation only paralleled by Obama himself.
Mitt Romney represents the epitome of selfishness akin to the women in 1 Kings 3 who suffocated her infant child in her sleep after rolling over on him. She switched her baby with that of another women with whom she lived.
To test the plaintiff and defendant, Solomon's wise verdict was to "split the baby in half" and give half to each mother (killing the baby of course). Solomon issued this verdict knowing that the REAL women loved her baby so much that she would YIELD to the charlatan women by dropping out of the suit – to SAVE her baby whom she loved. And he knew the deceitful women would be willing to let that child -die- before giving up.
After examining all of the absurdities of this Mitt Romney candidacy, it is clear that this man is utterly disqualified from claiming the tribute of patriotism. Mitt Romney is willing to see the constitution and freedom abrogated in 2012 - or he must be so delusional he believes he has reached the godhood and can't wait until he dies to be issued his own planet. In that case he would also resemble the Prodigal Son who had to have his entitled inheritance NOW.
I know I am upsetting many Republicans by propounding the facts in logical sequence. I know they just want me to fall asleep and let my body and God given brain be "snatched" like millions of others.
I will NOT stop exposing this disgraceful candidacy because I believe my country is well worth any ridicule, grief and contumelies cast upon me by those frustrated and tired souls who resort to such tactics. I understand they do so because that is all they CAN do in response to the self-evident facts. Facts are indeed stubborn things.
There is not even a diminutive quantity of logic or reason that can counter the mere SAMPLE of absurdities I just pulled out of an extraordinarily abundant hat full.
The elite in this party whom we allow to wag the dog every four years expose their transparent shallowness in their words on a daily basis. For the past two weeks, the new mantra by Karl Rove and Dick Morris at Fox News has been “Rick Santorum is damaging HIS BRAND by staying in this race”. They have been saying that “Newt Gingrich is damaging his brand” as well. These ambitious pretenders expose what they are without thought or regard because they cannot help it. Their shallow lusts for power and plaudits permeate every fiber of their being.
It never occurred to these imposters that there are people, like our FOUNDING FATHERS who believe so passionately in the God given principles put forth in our Declaration of Independence that they MIGHT NOT give a rat’s ass about their “BRAND” and be WILLING to pledge their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor.
It would be SO EASY to give in once again - like I did several years ago when sitting with a room full of Christian Republicans here in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida who argued AGAINST ME that "Foley might be a homosexual, but he's OUR homosexual."
I'm not making this up. Christian Republicans fought me just as some do now regarding Romney - contending that "Foley's seat is too valuable to risk" - despite knowing that he was pro-abortion and his deviant behavior was known to many throughout the Republican circles of PB County.
My argument was that we as Christians have an OBLIGATION to stand for potential Republican replacements to Foley. What kind of faith do we have if we think our God is too small and too powerless for us NOT to compromise by turning against the commands in His word?
The result of the ongoing Foley compromise -as we know- is that WE WERE HANDED OVER TO OUR ENEMIES AND WE LOST OUR MAJORITIES IN THE HOUSE SENATE AND THE WHITEHOUSE.
This primary is an opportunity to get it right and learn from our mistakes. We do not have to nominate an unacceptable candidate. If conservatives can fight in this “4th quarter”, a brokered convention could bring about an acceptable candidate to ALL sides of the GOP. I will not comply with those people again.
The nomination of Willard Mitt Romney is political suicide and is every bit as wrong as supporting Foley was. If Romney is afforded the prize of his insatiable lust for the sake of legacy, we will be as successful as the builders of Babel.
I PRAY that God will help America to wake up or that he will remove Romney from this race by divine intervention.

Obama is NOT ignorant of the Constitution nor is he "in Over his Head"
Some are aware that Barack Obama seems to be working to set up what is now just a shadow organization that may be likened to The People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs.
That was the name of the public and secret police organization of the Soviet Union that directly executed the rule of power of the Soviets, including political repression, during the era of Joseph Stalin. Perhaps he plans to save this database for some time after a planned coup d'état.
We have seen hints of this in his surreptitious call for good Marxist “Democrats” to actually –report- American citizens who criticize him at their website AttackWatch.com https://my.barackobama.com/page/s/report-an-attack
I have to wonder if I have been “reported” as just a few weeks ago, I produced a video titled:
President Trojan Horse's Sleight of Hand Games
Then, just a day ago news came out that Obama likened the House budget to a “Trojan horse” to “impose a radical vision on our country.”
His genius for evil is unparalleled. He can play a nation like Lucifer himself. He can accuse others of things of which he is guilty like calling Paul Ryan's plan a "Trojan Horse", while he himself is the genuine Trojan horse - and he gets away with it.
There's satisfaction in hurling invectives as we saw from the left when they would call Bush a "terrorist" and when they accused him of treason... That's the evil genius of Satan. Those words lost their meaning BEFORE Obama took Office.
So NOW, when Obama TRULY Commits treasonous acts of terror and betrayal on a daily basis - he is inoculated because every time he commits those acts in front of the nation and a God fearing patriot aptly describes it as such - the national media says "oh, they’re just playing politics... look at the rancor on both sides..." (O'Reilly).
We have come to the place where it is essentially useless to expose treachery for what it is because no matter how egregious the assault, when anyone attempts to accurately describe it, the result is as though one is crying wolf. The amazing thing is that the Democrat Party were the people who did the repeated crying of wolf.
I do not believe that is the least bit coincidental. They got us to the place during the Bush administration where they caused people to tune out reality. The end result may be that we are like the proverbial frog in a gradually heating pot of water that will boil to death.
Even now, 35% of the GOP apparently agree with Mitt Romney’s repeated contention that Barack Obama is a “well meaning” American who is merely “in over his head” and that he “doesn’t UNDERSTAND the constitution”.
Barack Obama isn't ignorant of the constitution; he understands it just as well as anyone. He just despises it. Like all Marxists and like his Pastors Wright & Farrakhan, Obama despises the United States. He despises Jesus Christ, the bride of Christ (the church) which is the charter upon which this stands.
He can violate our constitution and take abuse of Americans to new depths – yet he will continue without any legal animadversion because this nation has been so desensitized toward evil. Evil is now celebrated as good while good is regarded as evil and those who stand against evil are persecuted by the left.
To judge this character as naive, inexperienced or ignorant is to grossly underestimate him. He has mastered evil so adroitly it is seemingly supernatural – and it very well may be.

Romney Rents Supporters - Many who may be as Legal as his Lawn Maintenance
This video is a remarkable demonstration of why I will NOT vote for Mitt Romney. He is just as fabricated as Barack Obama.
The video begs the question whether Romney's campaign is employing illegal aliens to hold his signs as some of these day labor companies as described by the "rent a supporter" - are well known for employing illegals in towns throughout Florida. As a Florida resident, I can attest to that.
If Romney's campaign is hiring illegals, I guess we will find out during the general election as another means of exposing his hypocrisy. It would be easy to determine; just find out which day labor company this "supporter" was hired by and start asking questions.
It wouldn't be all that surprising if the Romney campaign got away with it because the conservative candidates have been running on diminutive budgets the past year, just as it took all the way until Super Tuesday to find a couple OP-Ed columns showing Romney had been standing on that stage - getting away with lying, during every last debate - about his claim of NOT supporting the mandate at the federal level. That makes it QUITE conceivable that Romney's campaign could be paying illegal aliens to campaign outside the polling stations - just like he employed them to whack his weeds and mow his lawns all those years.
We know Obama be pointing out in the debates that he took Romney’s advice on the federal mandate. We know they will be ridiculing him for having to pay thousands of fake supporters. But it could be potentially much worse if they start investigating who these rental Romney supporters actually are. This campaign has all the potential for disaster.
This video (below) is something that we SHOULD be seeing on Fox News, kind of Breitbart-esque. It is ground breaking, or at least would be if Fox News was not complicit. It is also a little known FACT that Romney did the same thing in 2008 where he paid fake supporters in Iowa and New Hampshire to stand around in the cold holding Romney signs.
We are being bamboozled. I guess it is up - US –and the actual conservative candidates to report this because Murdoch’s unregistered Romney Superpacs do not have the integrity to do the job.
We are now at the stage, the 4th quarter, where many conservatives become weary and start to give up. That is what they want; it is what they EXPECT, just like in 2008. They have these trivial “endorsements” lined up throughout the campaign like today’s Rubio endorsement. They are sequenced. They are choreographed. They are scheduled long in advance. The Rubio, Ryan and Bush endorsements have likely been on the calender from day one. They are designed to cause disillusionment, to make you think it is time to get in line and drink the poison from their trough with the rest of them.
This video is not the exception for Romney, it is the rule and I guarantee this tactic, along with his ignominious sleaze bomb commercials are being employed in Wisconsin. These men who created this video did a great service and this video MUST be spread throughout Facebook and other Internet channels.
It is up to us to make up for the media malpractice. It is time to get off of our rear ends, step it up and stop this snake oil salesman from hijacking this nomination. He must not get to 1144. Show America how pathetic and unacceptable this candidate really is. Share this link. America is at stake.

The Math is Insurmountable but Newt's Role is IMPORTANT
To summarize what I verbalize in this video:
I support Santorum.
The media is putting out red herrings about Santorum indicating he would accept a VP slot if Romney won the nomination.
Santorum supporters support him for PRESIDENT – not Vice-President.
A Romney/Santorum ticket would fail worse than the McCain/Palin ticket did.
We need a brokered convention.
Newt is a safeguard. If Newt dropped out of this race, a deal could be cut for the VP slot that could end this race and allow Romney to more easily procure the needed 1144 delegates to secure the nomination.
Conclusion: Support Rick Santorum with your VOTE because he’s the only candidate who can still mathematically win though having odds stacked against him.
Support Newt Gingrich with your MONEY to keep him in this race because it would prevent any compromise with Romney – given that if Santorum dropped out,conservative votes would then go to Newt because it would continue to prevent Romney from reaching the magic number.

"Mandate Day" is another Clear Test of Fox Media Malpractice
Today is an important test of Fox News and “sister companies” like The Wall Street Journal because this is “individual mandate day.” The Supreme Court has been hearing arguments on that isolated issue upon which the entire multi-state lawsuit rests. THEREFORE, Fox News will be focusing mainly on this story (between Trayvon Martin reports).
On Fox and Friends this morning the individual mandate was the main topic as expected. There has not been a single mention of the fact that Mitt Romney successfully ADVISED Barack Obama to adopt the individual mandate - but they did manage to slip in another distortion about Santorum’s comment on the need to nominate a candidate who presents a clear contrast to Obama.
For the entire campaign season Mitt Romney and his apologists at Fox News have been inculcating us with the specious argument that Romneycare was an exercise in Federalism because the states are the “laboratory of democracy”. Romney claimed repeatedly, “I would NEVER support the individual mandate at the Federal level”. However, it was revealed that Romney wrote a series of Op-Ed columns before OBAMACARE was passed into law - in which Mitt Romney ADVISED Barack Obama to adopt the individual mandate.
THAT betrayed a clear-cut, outright series of lies by Romney committed throughout the past year. Mitt Romney has an integrity problem and he can’t remember what positions he took two years ago. That is why he got caught. The more you lie, the more you have to make new lies to cover up old lies – and as the years pass, you forget what lies you told. It’s a snare that always catches up with you.
The entire point of WHY Romeny’s diversified positions on the federal mandate should naturally be discussed on the day the Supreme Court is hearing arguments on that specific component is self evident. The issue is not whether Fox allows guests to occasionally say that “Romneycare was the model for Obamacare". Romney circumvents that with his justifications about Federalism and State’s supposed rights to promulgate socialist medicine (which probably violates their own state constitutions but that's another column).
The entire point is that Fox News OMMITTED the material fact that would have –ended- the Romney campaign if they had taken their fiduciary duties with a morsel of respect. That is extremely relevant on the day that the entire world is watching our Supreme Court consider the constitutionality of the individual mandate component of Obamacare. If this mandate should be maintained as constitutional by the Supreme Court – it will be the central issue of the 2012 campaign.
A familiar example you will see on Fox of what they will allow is what Michelle Bachman said this morning to Martha MacCallum. Martha asked Michelle if she sees a vulnerability with Mitt Romney's relationship to Obamacare if he is the nominee. I was disappointed that Bachman, in her answer focused on the fact that Mitt Romney campaigns on a promise of repealing Obamacare and if elected he would “HAVE TO REPEAL OBAMACARE”.
Once again, if Fox had widely reported the fact that Romney advised Obama to adopt the mandate and then lied about it - we wouldn't need to sit back and hope that Michelle Bachman answers the question appropriately instead of trying to be a "team player". That's where the negligence and malpractice does the damage. Reporters REPORT. Fox News Reporters, DID NOT report.
Romney's claim that he would immediately repeal Obamacare is NOT the relevant factor and misses the point that Romney has to WIN the general elections first. What IS the relevant factor is that Mitt Romney has absolutely no credibility to stand before the nation in a debate to attack Barack Obama on his vulnerability – the individual mandate.
So Romney can say all he wants that he "would appeal Obamacare" if elected but the problem lies in the fact that he will have to AVOID talking about the mandate, our strongest issue, so as to avoid being laughed off the stage when Obama asks Romney WHY he advised him in those OP-Ed pieces – to embrace the individual mandate at the FEDERAL LEVEL.
I know it’s hard for some to think these things through. It’s easier to ignore the obvious and submit to the talking points “Romney was a businessman, plus he saved the Olympics” – but other than a Santorum victory that is a worthwhile long shot, the best thing we can have is a brokered convention.
If not Santorum, we need to find an acceptable candidate who isn’t Mitt Romney. Nominating a Wall Street CEO at a time of unprecedented enmity for Wall Street alone is preposterous – but one who inoculates our enemy (Barack Obama) from the greatest violations of our citizenry since George III is an inexcusable catastrophe.
It NEVER would have been possible without the complicity of the Murdoch media conglomerate including Fox News which cleverly twisted, shaped and omitted facts from their reports that would have rightfully ended the Romney campaign BEFORE Super Tuesday.The fact is that most people have no idea of the pathological lying nature of Mitt Romney and no idea about his lie regarding this mandate.
If Fox News had simply done their job and fulfilled their obligation to make certain most voters were aware of this crucial vulnerability – Romney would be out of this race right now.
The ONLY alternative to malpractice would be negligence. Whichever the excuse might be is inexcusable.
As my favorite founding father Hamilton once said (in regard to the Jay treaty): “If we suppose them to be sincere, we must often pity their ignorance, if insincere, we must abhor the spirit of deception that it betrays.”
On Fox and Friends this morning the individual mandate was the main topic as expected.

I know it’s hard for some to think these things through. It’s easier to ignore the obvious and submit to the talking points “Romney was a businessman, plus he saved the Olympics” – but other than a Santorum victory that is a worthwhile long shot, the best thing we can have is a brokered convention.
If not Santorum, we need to find an acceptable candidate who isn’t Mitt Romney. Nominating a Wall Street CEO at a time of unprecedented enmity for Wall Street alone is preposterous – but one who inoculates our enemy (Barack Obama) from the greatest violations of our citizenry since George III is an inexcusable catastrophe.
It NEVER would have been possible without the complicity of the Murdoch media conglomerate including Fox News which cleverly twisted, shaped and omitted facts from their reports that would have rightfully ended the Romney campaign BEFORE Super Tuesday.The fact is that most people have no idea of the pathological lying nature of Mitt Romney and no idea about his lie regarding this mandate.
If Fox News had simply done their job and fulfilled their obligation to make certain most voters were aware of this crucial vulnerability – Romney would be out of this race right now.
The ONLY alternative to malpractice would be negligence. Whichever the excuse might be is inexcusable.
As my favorite founding father Hamilton once said (in regard to the Jay treaty): “If we suppose them to be sincere, we must often pity their ignorance, if insincere, we must abhor the spirit of deception that it betrays.”

Another Goldman swindler exposed & How might Solomon advise the GOP on Romney?
A congressional committee is investigating how $1.6 billion in customer funds went missing from bankrupt brokerage MF Global said Friday that it’s found evidence that then-CEO Jon Corzine directed a senior executive to use $200 million of clients’ money.”
I thought Democrats were not subject to financial and accounting laws because they created the laws for us. All Corzine needs to do is go before the judge and jury, then tell them they are stupid and he knows better. He was just protecting these poor shareholders from themselves.
What a bunch of ingrates!
I'm REALLY looking forward to Stacy Keach telling the story on CNBC's AMERICAN GREED.
This really made me reflect on the hypocrisy of these degenerates. Just a few years ago he himself (a former Goldman billionaire) was grilling hardworking Americans for simply wanting to keep the money we earned. To no surprise, he’s just another swindler like Madoff, Charlie Rangel, Chris Dodd & Barney Frank.
Speaking of left wing double-dealers, this caused me to further ponder the insanity of having Mitt Romney stand before America to figuratively “prosecute” Barack Obama for the treason Obama has perpetrated on America – while knowing Romney has advocated every aspect of Obamacare and even ADVISED Obama to implement the odious individual mandate.
Well, again, to be fair, Romney has offered one last distinction between Romneycare and Obamacare – which is that despite being identical in essence, Romneycare was 70 pages and Obamacare was several hundred pages. But we still have not gotten Romney to clarify what size font he used in his bill and whether he single or double spaced.
So the jury is still out on that “number of pages” issue. But I think it is pretty clear that the prudence of nominating Romney to be the one to stand before the nation and “prosecute” Obama is about as sensible as it would be to appoint John Corzine to prosecute Bernie Madoff. If we do not fix this with a brokered convention then we are about to witness unprecedented folly in American history.
Every time I think about it I picture kids in a history class studying the time when a tyrant was given another 4 years to destroy America because a minority of the opposing party allowed 35% to nominate a Wall Street CEO during an unprecedented period of national enmity toward Wall Street and who invented the prototype for Obamacare.
The story that comes to mind in this situation is the story of King Solomon recounted in 1Kings 3:16-28. “Two young women who lived in the same house and who both had an infant son came to Solomon for a judgment. One of the women claimed that the other, after accidentally smothering her own son while sleeping, had exchanged the two children to make it appear that the living child was hers. The other woman denied this and so both women claimed to be the mother of the living son and said that the dead boy belonged to the other.
After some deliberation, King Solomon called for a sword to be brought before him. He declared that there is only one fair solution: the live son must be split in two, each woman receiving half of the child. Upon hearing this terrible verdict, the boy's true mother cried out, "Please, My Lord, give her the live child—do not kill him!" However, the liar, in her bitter jealousy, exclaimed, "It shall be neither mine nor yours—divide it!" Solomon instantly gave the live baby to the real mother, realizing that the true mother's instincts were to protect her child, while the liar revealed that she did not truly love the child. The reputation of the king greatly increased when all the people of Israel heard of this wise judgment.”
Romney should –drop out of the race for the good of the country. If he TRULY is a patriot who loves his country he should surrender his life-long ambition. Despite the so-called "large" victory in Illinois, except for perhaps the People’s Republic of Massachusetts, he has not won a majority of a state’s vote (unlike Newt and Rick Santorum).
I know he has always wanted to be President and he has been running for President ever since he retired from Bain – but the fact is that he is the worst possible candidate we could have at this time. Out of 300 MILLION Americans, there is only ONE… ONE… Republican (not just one Governor)… but only ONE Republican who successfully inoculates Obama -Willard that one person is Willard Mitt Romney.
This looks like a last test from God as to who will consciously allow this nation to be split in half. Mitt Romney will lose – and so goes the union.

What Democrats REALLY think of Mitt Romney (The Joke's on Us)
I just stumbled upon an accurate column on the Democrat’s ACTUAL view upon a Romney nomination titled “Democrats Have No Fear Of Romney”
It provides a rare glimpse behind the scenes of the Obama campaign’s TRUE view of the prospects of a Mitt Romney nomination. It demonstrates that they understand that Mitt Romney cannot beat Barack Obama and only –events- can defeat him if Romney is the nominee. In essence, Romney –is- the “bag of rocks” candidate because he brings absolutely nothing to the election that could legitimately be considered as marketable in the most anti-Wall Street climate in American history. If his Investment banking CEO experience is a plus, then we should have nominated Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein who is expected to retire very soon.
So he totally inoculates Obama from having to answer about Obamacare. He’s a CEO from what is now the most despised industry in America. So what is left? “Elect me because I saved the Olympics!” The specifics of what Romney did in Utah and how he did it are currently a mystery to most, so when details of that come out it will probably lead to more embarrassment.
This column is a beauty, filled with gems like this:
“Several Obama campaign staffers described Chicago as more worried that Romney’s nomination might de-energize the base and depress donations because the grassroots think Obama will have reelection in the bag.”
Oh! So that’s Romney’s “strategery”. Romney is playing possum. He has brilliantly cultivated a decade of economically destructive policies in Massachusetts like his socialist medical plan and “Wheels for Welfare” and worked diligently to establish a reputation of having no fixed principles – just so that Democrats would UNDERESTIMATE him - when he would finally run for President in 2012.
Brilliant! This rascal Romney would seem prescient if it were not for the fact that this strategy has already failed us for the past 24 years since President Reagan left office.
The funny thing is that the attitudes of Democrats seem to contradict the absurd contentions of Romney infatuated shills like Coulter, Morris & Rabinowitz who have been telling us for this entire Winter that “Romney is the candidate that Obama fears most”. But you don’t have to be a sleuth to find the Newsbank collection of tens of thousands of quotes and transcripts of Democrats like David Axelrod – publicly hoping for Mitt Romney to be our nominee.
They –publicly- hoped for Romney up until about three months ago when the GOP primaries actually began. Once the “season” began, we witnessed their “flip-flopping” to the new narrative which we all well know. Romney shills through the Newscorp machine have adeptly read the talking points to the point where they reverberate in our minds without ceasing.

An Obstinate Romney Nomination is an Obama Re-election
Arlen Williams of http://www.GulagBound.com linked to an interesting story at The Daily Caller titled:
"Lord Monckton: ‘I’m no birther,’ but Obama birthcertificate ‘plainly a forgery’
I love to hear Lord Monckton speak. It’s amazing to see how the blinders are on a nation of deceived people. I continue saying it is spiritual and REALLY believe that the extraordinary degree of willful blindness can only be explained in that manner.
How else can you explain the fact that Obama is 100% inoculated by this issue and many others no matter what the truth is.
Like Monckton, I do not spend much time on this because if we had a signed and notarized statement or a video of Obama stating that he was born in Kenya – they would not reconcile themselves with the truth. Nothing would be done either way, which is why the union is about to fall apart very soon.
The same willful blindness is true of Mitt Romney supporters. Christians are literally ridiculed and disdained by many who have capitulated their intelligence and checked all logic at the Romney door – because we dare to make this election about the “social issues”.
In regard to this story about the top Etch a sketch Romney adviser, Eric Fehrnstrom, who said his campaign will "hit a reset button" to take on Obama in the fall if Romney wins the GOP nomination:
It is quite outlandish for this ignoble rascal Romney – of all people – to come out with his wife crying about Newt and Rick using that information AGAINST him. It demonstrates what this suit will be doing in November.
Why WOULDN’T they bring this to our attention?
This is one of the extremely rare instances of the Romney campaign being truthful. This accidental moment of candor is WHY we have been fighting so tenaciously.
What Fehrnstrom said was what any un-infatuated human being rightly concluded after conducting proper due diligence that should be a requisite to voting. You cannot actually look at Romney’s career in politics without observing that his history is one of changing positions according the expedience of the moment.
Mitt Romney is the personification of every mistake that self-serving, legacy craving politicians have for decades perpetuated in order to bring us under the state of bankruptcy and tyranny we now face.
The more I see names of yesteryear who I would like to forget (and we all NEED to forget) telling us we need to shut up and get behind the inevitable loser – the more resolved I am about the fact that McCain was my last “nose plug” candidate.
They are actually making matters worse because many REFUSE to turn their backs on their God given intelligence by supporting this individual. He is only “inevitable” because they MADE him inevitable by refusing to cease their slanderous ads, attacking the character of gentlemen who far exceed anything Romney has ever demonstrated in character or deed.
I have often said that if Romney was conducting himself in this way and this happened to be the early 19th century, he would be forced to meet Newt on the “field of honor”. Who would win such a dual is irrelevant to the fact that Romney greatly resembles Aaron Burr whom his political adversary Hamilton once said of him that he is “destitute of any fixed principles”.
He is only “inevitable” because of the ongoing journalistic malpractice that has been and still continues to be perpetrated by Fox News as they sat on the monumental lie committed by Romney in his repeated statement about “never having supported an individual mandate at the federal level”.
Fox destroyed the candidacy of Mike Huckabee in 2008 by running the talking points and constant replaying of a COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTEXT excerpt by Governor Huckabee articulating a litany of tax increases he would “support”. They bludgeoned Huckabee’s organic rise in virtually all of the major primaries after winning Iowa.
They left out the fact that this was a 30 second clip out of an evening long, final session with an Arkansas state legislature that was over 80% Democrat who controlled the purse strings.
There was NO WAY whatsoever they were going to CUT taxes (which was not in his power to do). Yet the state constitution DEMANDED by law that they have a balanced budget.
The fact that this state legislature was going to raise taxes was an axiom, so it was incumbent upon the Governor to enumerate which taxes he would GO ALONG WITH.
The fact that Huckabee was even able to be Governor was in itself a rarity in this Democrat stronghold where he succeeded Bill Clinton as Governor.
YET, FOX NEWS played the FRAUD. After DRUDGE released the aforementioned video - Fox News went into campaign gear and destroyed a remarkable momentum that was inconceivable as Huckabee rode the polls from the mere 2% he had earlier garnered - to front runner.
His rise was all grass roots and he was winning in the polls in Michigan, South Carolina and even Florida – UNTIL the Fox malpractice campaign.
It was a campaign IDENTICAL to that which we have seen them wage against Newt and then Rick Santorum.
It started out with Fox distorting that 30 second clip from that Arkansas session and then followed with Fox perpetuating the persecution of Huckabee for a commercial in which a book shelf behind him they maintained was really "a cross”.
Not so coincidentally, Fox began with non-stop Romney promoting until Huckabee won Iowa and then transitioned into the non-stop “McCain is inevitable” narrative after McCain became their “comeback kid” because he won more liberals in Massachusetts than did Romney.
It is a breach of fiduciary responsibility as the “freedom of the press” has a vital role in the efficacy of our republic.
I cannot in good conscience support their candidate who could win the nomination by such disreputable and fraudulent means. I will not enable them by reinforcing their unscrupulous methods.
One of my favorite quotes was by the Roman orator Cato who once said something that profoundly summarizes the reasoning of those who assert that Rick, Newt and ALL OF US need to surrender to the ongoing chicanery of Mitt Romney:
"There must certainly be a vast Fund of Stupidity in Human Nature, else Men would not be caught as they are, a thousand times over, by the same Snare, and while they yet remember their past Misfortunes, go on to court and encourage the Causes to which they were owing, and which will again produce them."
Hearing Jeb Bush who recently “came out” suggesting that we debase ourselves in this way has prompted me to go and make a donation to the Santorum campaign. Keep it up. I do not care what the hell your last name is - you cannot and will not beat us into submission – any longer.
24 years of this fruitless compromise has been enough for me. YOU are the people who elected Barack Obama by manufacturing a candidate who couldn’t win in 2008 and YOU are the fools who are re-electing Barack Obama in 2012 in your obstinate pushing of a dishonorable individual who has a deplorable record of liberalism and is anything but a gentleman.

Fox News' Conservative Problem is Compounding Interest
Mediaite.com featured a blog today titled: “Santorum Accuses Fox News of Shilling for Romney, is Called Out By Brian Kilmeade”
This sentiment has been circulating the Internet for the past several months and is growing stronger by the day. It is obvious Fox is aware of it as there has been a noticeable cognizance by program hosts and reporters who have been adding subtle disclaimers this past week to their talking points.
Kilmeade said to Santorum “there’s no way I agree with that and you’ve been on as much as anyone.”
First of all, I have never seen or heard Brian Kilmeade shilling for anyone, so he is not the problem. Steve Doocy is a different story.
Nevertheless, Kilmead’s premise is flawed. HOW MUCH TIME ONE CANDIDATE IS ON THE TV CHANNEL OVER ANOTHER has nothing to do with objectivity in reporting. Romney, despite being trapped as a candidate supported only by the minority of the party, has enjoyed exceptional positioning by Fox as the de facto, generic candidate in most Fox polls that purport to gauge general sentiment.
For the past two years, in a substantial number of Fox polls, Romney has been represented as the “presumptive nominee” for no other reason than he was the only declared candidate - because he doesn’t stop running for President. This is irresponsible journalism and is unfair to Republicans. The transparent agenda is to create a self-fulfilling prophecy just like they did this past election for McCain.
Rick Perry, Newt and Santorum have EACH seen organic groundswells of support during this campaign and have then been targets of the same formula to underhandedly quell their leads. The disreputable tactics are the "one, two punch" of $20 million worth of sleazy Romney ads - accompanied by incessant Fox talking point campaigns.
It’s a formula and if they want to prove otherwise, I say let’s see a Brent Bozell Media Research Center study on their objectivity. But even those can be manipulated if they simply gauge “objectivity” by the amount of media coverage in lieu of the TYPE of coverage. We can say that Chris Matthews is the most objective reporter in all of news today if we simply add how much time he spends talking about Republicans versus Democrats.
The FACT that they "sat on" the story of Romney being caught in yet another lie about his position on the crucial "individual mandate" upon which the entire Supreme Court case will rest - was a deliberate omission on the part of Fox. You don’t just miss those kinds of stories. There had to be a concerted agenda. Meetings had to take place at Fox in which it was decided –not- to run with these stories that broke two days before Super Tuesday. If such lies were uncovered by any other candidate, they would have been the top stories every hour – and rightly so. The stories were left to be reported by “citizen journalists” and small publications and did not come close to reaching critical mass – even up to this Tuesday’s election.
That is a major violation of journalistic integrity by the so-called "fair and balanced" network.
Fox also OMITTED the substantial story of Jim DeMint calling Romneycare an "unjust law". This is one of, if not the single most powerful conservatives in the Senate – who had endorsed Romney in 2008!
Those two issues SHOULD have destroyed Romney's campaign and WOULD have if Fox News exercised even a fraction of their journalistic duties.
No matter how many times they invite Rick or Newt to appear on Fox at this time in attempt to assuage the backlash for the tactics in which they have engaged - it is quite frankly - TOO LATE. The damage of omitting material facts regarding Romney’s propensity to misrepresent himself makes them appear to be of the same nature.
We cannot turn back the clock. The damage from Fox's omissions of material facts from a full 24 hour news cycle, the gravity of which would have appropriately shut down Romney's campaign if appropriately reported - cannot be fixed by any amount of posturing by Fox.
They simply got carried away with their flagrant campaigning and thought they could get away with betraying and manipulating their key audience in the way the liberal media get away with it routinely when perpetrated against an electorate half of which cares more about Dancing with the Stars. The key difference is that Fox miscalculated in their assessment of the intelligence and perspicacity of their audience.
I enlarged upon this in my March 10th video commentary “Romney's unregistered SUPERPAC Fox News”:

The FACT that they "sat on" the story of Romney being caught in yet another lie about his position on the crucial "individual mandate" upon which the entire Supreme Court case will rest - was a deliberate omission on the part of Fox. You don’t just miss those kinds of stories. There had to be a concerted agenda. Meetings had to take place at Fox in which it was decided –not- to run with these stories that broke two days before Super Tuesday. If such lies were uncovered by any other candidate, they would have been the top stories every hour – and rightly so. The stories were left to be reported by “citizen journalists” and small publications and did not come close to reaching critical mass – even up to this Tuesday’s election.
That is a major violation of journalistic integrity by the so-called "fair and balanced" network.
Fox also OMITTED the substantial story of Jim DeMint calling Romneycare an "unjust law". This is one of, if not the single most powerful conservatives in the Senate – who had endorsed Romney in 2008!
Those two issues SHOULD have destroyed Romney's campaign and WOULD have if Fox News exercised even a fraction of their journalistic duties.
No matter how many times they invite Rick or Newt to appear on Fox at this time in attempt to assuage the backlash for the tactics in which they have engaged - it is quite frankly - TOO LATE. The damage of omitting material facts regarding Romney’s propensity to misrepresent himself makes them appear to be of the same nature.
We cannot turn back the clock. The damage from Fox's omissions of material facts from a full 24 hour news cycle, the gravity of which would have appropriately shut down Romney's campaign if appropriately reported - cannot be fixed by any amount of posturing by Fox.
They simply got carried away with their flagrant campaigning and thought they could get away with betraying and manipulating their key audience in the way the liberal media get away with it routinely when perpetrated against an electorate half of which cares more about Dancing with the Stars. The key difference is that Fox miscalculated in their assessment of the intelligence and perspicacity of their audience.
I enlarged upon this in my March 10th video commentary “Romney's unregistered SUPERPAC Fox News”:

An Open Letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
Dear Prime Minister Netanyahu,
It’s been almost one year ago since I last wrote you an open letter like this. I just want to let you know that most Americans agree with your assessment on Iran and the consequences to both Israel and America if those savages procure nuclear weapons.
In a peculiar way, a large number of us look to you, as opposed to the current President of the United States as our legitimate leader in these perilous times. We have much more in common since our nation was founded upon the belief that there is ONE God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Our nation was founded upon the word of THE God of Israel. His name permeates our founding documents and His laws are etched into our government buildings.
We have more in common with you because our current President of the United States and his Attorney General have waged war on our faith, our military, our schools and our families from the day he took office.
Another thing we have in common is that your people, God’s chosen, were in exile for many years and are constantly under attack by people who tell you that your country, given to you by a covenant with God Himself – is not yours.
We are now currently in a form of exile, being falsely maligned and attacked by enemies of God and our heritage, who tell us that our country is not ours despite a compact with our God dating back to 1620, known as the Mayflower Compact and our founding document in 1776, The Declaration of Independence.
I just want to let you know that WE have your back; but as you WELL know – our President does not. On that note, I just want to say that I understand why you publicly stated weeks ago that Israel reserves the right to attack Iran and will not notify the President of the United States.
The graciousness in the way you handled this is evidenced by the popular conjecture that the reason is that by not notifying “our” President - you would exculpate the US from being blamed by Iran for complicity. I can only speak for myself in saying that I don’t blame you for not trusting this President with valuable information as to -when- exactly you will attack. If I were in your shoes and dealt with the brunt of Obama’s public insolence, mockery and duplicity toward Israel, I too would worry about a “tip off” to Iran. Such a concern would indeed be valid.
Since Iran has never had any intentions of complying, time is of the essence. As with the Iranian hostage crisis when President Reagan took office, the hostages were released that very day. We know the importance of having a President who recognizes the threat of Iran and one who has the character to always tell the truth.
That is the kind of ally you know you can count on. You need an ally in the US whom you know will never flip-flop depending on vicissitudes of the day. It just so happens that your friends in the Republican Party who are daily criticized even by the moderate minority in our party – have two conservative candidates who you well know – believe in the ONE true God of Israel and have consistently been dependable on Issues concerning Israel.
One of them is Rick Santorum, who has stood up to ridicule by the “moderates” in our party for taking a stand for the beliefs he holds dear, which include the sovereignty of Israel and her God ordained right to exist. Rick has taken a resolute stand even though the majority of those in his Catholic denomination are voting for the moderate who is of another faith altogether. Rick has the steadfast support of the evangelical Christians who recognize that Israel was called by God – the Apple of His eye.
Our other conservative candidate for President - Newt Gingrich - has many of the characteristics of Winston Churchill. He is a strong leader and has long been warning of the threat posed against Israel.
Israel would do well with either of these fine statesmen who represent the MAJORITY of the Republican Party by significant margin - as US President.
As we know that what Israel MUST do is inevitable, we hope that it happens soon. When it happens, it will prevail as the most substantial debate in the world and it would be fitting that it should be at the forefront of the national debate as our nation’s leadership for the next 4-8 years is determined.
We continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
I leave you with this Mr. Prime Minister and perhaps at present the true “LEADER” of the free world:
"Then the Lord spoke to Moses saying, 'Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, "Thus you shall bless the sons of Israel. You shall say to them:
The Lord bless you, and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine on you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace."'
So they shall invoke My name on the sons of Israel, and I
shall bless them."
Sincerely yours,

A "Bag of Rocks" may Beat Obama - but Romney Won't.
It has become popular in pundit circles to tritely assert that “a bag of rocks could beat Obama in 2012.” If that is the case, than let’s run the damned bag of rocks. I would sooner vote for the bag of rocks than I would for Mitt Romney. Furthermore, if Romney wins the nomination and a credible third party conservative does not come to fruition, we may have to write it in.
If we ran someone against Obama who had the moral high-ground to challenge him on his destructive polices – our victory would be close to inevitable.
There's a reason why David Axelrod and every Democrat pundit engage in the following talking points:
Talking Point # 1. "Mitt Romney is the candidate who has the best chance of beating Barack Obama"
Talking point # 2. "Barack Obama is licking his chops over the prospect of facing Rick Santorum."
The REASON is that the Democrats -fear- Rick Santorum and/or Newt Gingrich. Can the media shills really think the aforementioned Democrat Party advice is in our best interest to heed? Why would the left-wing Democrats engage in such overwhelming solicitude to make sure we Republicans embrace these notions???
If you believe them, you are telling us that these liberals who assault every basic moral and economic value we hold dear like malicious demons - are so benevolent that they, including - David Axelrod himself- want to make certain that we Republicans have the best chance possible to defeat their candidate Obama in November.
I could deluge my readers by posting LITERALLY THOUSANDS of sourced quotes by the most powerful Democrats thanking Mitt Romney for being "father of the individual-mandate". But that would not make people who are infatuated like something resembling a school girl crush - actually THINK about the suicide to which they are committing the Republican Party.
For any rational voters thinking about voting for Mitt Romney, just go to Newsbank and conduct a search "Mitt Romney" + "individual mandate" and you will see nothing but quotes of liberals who actually –are- salivating over the prospect of Mitt Romney as the GOP nominee. For people who actually conduct DUE DILIGENCE when selecting a potential leader of the free world, the tens of thousands of columns and transcripts you see after conducting the aforementioned search will demonstrate one organic, unified voice and one theme among Democrats.
The theme is that Democrats will do ANYTHING to elect Mitt Romney by influencing the GOP primary elections state by state. They do this now by telling us through their party leaders and pundits that Mitt Romney is the candidate they believe “is the most formidable to challenge Barack Obama in November”
But when you look at the vast majority of their DEFENSES of the health care bill over a year ago, BEFORE our primary elections began, these same people used Mitt Romney as their PRIMARY DEFENSE for the individual mandate and their socialist health care bill as a whole.
They are LAUGHING at us because our so-called gurus like Karl Rove, Dick Morris, Dorothy Rabinowitz, Charles Krauthammer, Fred Barnes, Britt Hume and many others have picked up with thee Democrat narrative like a fumbled football and are running to the wrong end-zone with it. They are doing this while the rest of us scream from the bleachers “you are going the wrong way you cretins!”
This is what we get from people who do not know what to do with the ball because they are so used to playing defense. Even when we had the House, Senate & Executive branches, they were constantly playing defense as they cowered before the Democrats and squandered the opportunity given by the American people to go on offense.
Quite frankly, these are the losers to whom we listened all of those years and they are taking us down a pathway toward a shutout in which we again will be on the losing side in November when we elect our own Manchurian Candidate – Mitt Romney.
Following are just a sample out of the extraordinary number of articles buttressing this undeniable fact and giving us a taste of the overwhelming mantra that would drown out the politically castrated Romney before the race ever begins in November:
HEALTH CARE DOCTORING THE PARTY LINE - " Individual mandate ': A GOP baby, disowned
Free Lance-Star, The (Fredericksburg, VA) - Monday, January 3, 2011
"The idea of an individual mandate as an alternative to single-payer was a Republican idea," health economist Mark Pauly of the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School told The Associated Press.
In fact, during debate over the Clinton health care plan in 1994, Hatch himself co-sponsored a bill that included an individual mandate. Back then, the mandate was seen as a free-market alternative, far preferable to the employer mandate President Bill Clinton was pushing.
More recently, Massachusetts Gov. Mitch Romney signed a law instituting an individual mandate as part of his state's effort to provide universal coverage…Despite the hue and cry over the "socialist" Obamacare plan, this highlights the fact that the Affordable Care Act is actually an extremely moderate approach-some might even argue a conservative approach-to health care reform, and that, for some, the constitutionality of a provision depends chiefly on who proposes it.”

“In an interview with USA Today , Axelrod goes out of his way to credit Mitt Romney for implementing a universal health care plan when he was governor of Massachusetts that shares many similarities with the White House-backed law that has proved so unpopular with Republicans."
Has Massachusetts Experience Put ObamaCare On A Path To Repeal?
Investor's Business Daily (Los Angeles, CA) - Thursday, January 13, 2011
Author: SALLY C. PIPES
Romney: "Every uninsured citizen in Massachusetts will soon have affordable health insurance, and the cost of health care will be reduced," then-Republican Gov. Romney wrote in the Wall Street Journal in 2006. "And we need no new taxes, no employer mandate and no government takeover to make this happen."
The other promises turned out to be bogus as well. Despite the near-universal insurance, the state still spends $414 million on uncompensated care, an expense that Romney and his architects promised would disappear. Emergency-room use has not dropped as predicted. From 2006 to 2008, emergency room use under Mass Care increased by 9%. And private employer insurance costs, far from dropping, have continued to increase.
The individual mandate , as onerous as it is, is set at a level to encourage gaming the system. A family with an income of $55,000 in 2014 will face the choice of paying $4,428 a year for health insurance or a $550 fine. Given that insurance will be available on demand, it's rational to pay the fine until a serious illness strikes.
Indeed, there is no strong demand for insurance among the uninsured. The individual market has existed for years and is lightly subscribed. The new high-risk pools created by ObamaCare are very undersubscribed. Bureaucrats projected that 375,000 would sign up by now. The actual number is 8,000.
The lie that Massachusetts never promised to control costs is amplified by the belief that Obama's plan would do so.There is no adequate answer to the nation-wide electorate to distinguish ourselves if the Republican Party is so self-destructive as to nominate the ONE and ONLY Republican Governor who successfully inoculates Barack Hussein Obama from one of the Democrat Party's most glaring trespasses. Not only did this candidate promulgate socialized medicine as Governor of one of the most left wing states in the union - but he based it upon the notorious "individual mandate", the component which the key to the entire case against it entirely rests. Romney will hand Barack Obama on a silver platter, the ability to make the entire Republican Party look like a party of hypocrites and make us the laughing stock of the nation in November 2012. THAT is why the unified voice of the Democrat Party ADVISES US to nominate Moot Romney as the GOP nominee.

The GOP is Serving Mammon (a false object of worship & Devotion)
In his speech the night of the Michigan primary, Romney went out of his way to give –extra- thanks to John McCain. His linking to John McCain is quite telling because if nominated, the ultimate result will be the same as when McCain was given the nomination due to the conservative vote being amortized over multiple candidates.
I will give credit to Romney. He made a great speech. The problem is that it was rhetoric and does not reflect his core beliefs. His core beliefs are reflected in his record as the Governor of Massachusetts. Conservatives do not CREATE programs that give away free cars, free car repairs, free car insurance and free AAA as a WELFARE BENEFIT. This was not something he just approved, this is something he CREATED. This was his brain child.
Conservatives do not CREATE socialist healthcare programs. Conservatives do not force Christian organizations to violate the fundamental tenets of the popular religion of this nation and the faith of our forefathers.
Conservatives do not undermine our second amendment rights.
Mitt Romney will be totally discredited before the race begins if he wins the Republican nomination because he will be shown by the media and Barack Obama to be a pretender while Barack Obama coasts into a second term without any public scrutiny with exception for Fox News, which the majority of gullible Americans do not watch.
Speaking of the Mitt Romney SUPERPAC Fox News, they stooped to a new low of disrespect for one of the two conservative candidates, Rick Santorum on this election night. I was listening to Senator Santorum’s speech from Michigan with great interest. I found what he was saying to be moving and right near the middle of Santorum’s speech, Fox News actually INTERUPTED his speech to call the race for Mitt Romney.
That was another appalling slap in the face to conservative voters by Fox as they violated the good faith with which conservatives perhaps foolishly entrusted them as it never entered our minds that they would do. I actually had to turn on MSNBC at that moment just to hear the speech uninterrupted. MSNBC had also declared Romney the winner but did so with a “lower third” graphic underneath the Senator rather than tossing to some news anchor. I think that a basic respect for the viewers and the candidate demand that after we worked so diligently to nearly defeat Romney in his own home state we earned the right to view his concession speech unmitigated.
It is clear that the majority of Michigan citizens rejected Mitt Romney and the two conservatives earned more votes than Romney. It is like living the film Ground Hog Day as we watch -once again- our party being hijacked by the candidate most of us do not want to win our Republican nomination. It is really a sad day for conservatives and ultimately a sad day for America that we have two conservatives in this race, therefore cannot nominate a viable candidate to represent the party platform that is routinely desecrated every presidential primary.
A faction of any political party is susceptible to the gullibility concomitant to emotional intoxication. We cannot bring them out of their enchantment no matter what we say and no matter how often we demonstrate the absurdity of expecting a leftist who campaigned and governed as a leftist his entire career in politics. They will not let the indisputable facts of what this man did despite having once been a “businessman”.
Warren Buffet, Bill Gates and George Soros have been more successful at business than Romney ever came close to being. But as three of the wealthiest men in the world and -Mitt Romney himself- after retiring from Bain in his life as a politician demonstrates - business acumen is clearly not a corollary to how a “businessman” will behave in government.
But no matter HOW much we point out Romney’s ignominious track record and the basic logic that explains it – people enchanted by their pre-determined outcome are "all-in" like the residents of Jones Town and we will not break their trance.
Hence, we have indeed met the enemy and he is us. We have the votes as a whole but we are talking about a few points needed to win those delegates. We don’t have the willingness to get behind one of the two conservative candidates. Therefore we will nominate Mitt Romney and we will lose.
America may very well be destroyed by Barack Hussein Obama. You might as well start making your plans accordingly. The question left will be which states will secede from the Union when Obamacare and effrontery against the constitution like you never imagined possible is implemented at a pace far greater than what we have seen or fathomed. You may want to consider South Carolina as a new residence.
The Republican Party has abandoned its platform and the values upon which it was founded by adopting the old Clinton mantra “it’s the economy stupid”. The party has gone on record stating that moral issues are not as important to us as our own back pockets. Like Israel, “the Apple of God’s eye” as God called them did after the death of King Solomon, we are going into apostasy. God prospered Israel up to that point because they obeyed God. Seeking the prosperity was not what made them prosperous and victorious even when overwhelmed by their enemy. Prosperity was a byproduct of virtue and obedience. After King Solomon died Israel and its Kings turned their back on God and disobeyed God. They adopted the false gods of those they defeated and built alters on the high places in direct disobedience to the one true God.
God was patient and he warned them. They did not listen and they were sacked by their enemies and handed over to slavery for centuries because they “kindled His anger against them”. It was not that God suddenly favored their evil enemies and was on the side of the nations to which he handed over Israel into captivity. It was His righteous discipline. God does not work on man’s timeline and through the prophets he told His people the Jews that he would deliver them when they repented. But generations of people and their posterity lived in slavery while God still kept his covenant with His people, that nation, Israel.
America was founded upon those Judeo-Christian principles. Though we are much larger geographically speaking, we were once like a “little-Israel” by adoption. It was those same principles and an extension of that same promise “I will bless those who bless you and I will curse those who curse you” that made us.America, especially under Barack Obama is not only getting closer to the day when we curse Israel and betray her, we have adopted the idols of this world. We are a nation addicted to entertainment, pornography and all kinds of sexual immorality (possibly our leading export and among the few things we currently “manufacture”). In the past few years we have seen state after state going on record and giving legal approbation to homosexual “marriage”. That’s not just our President but also our courts, state government after state government and legislatures. Our President has violated our military by not only allowing homosexual activity within but encouraging it. The federal government and state governments are indoctrinating –children- with homosexual propaganda. Major corporations like Home Depot, the NFL and a great many others are flagrantly funding and encouraging such sexual immorality. The basic sense of morality is almost gone from all aspects of life and it is leading to anarchy, the vacuum from which will always be despotism as our founders consistently warned. Balance sheets, income statements, housing appraisals even audited financials of the highest “blue chip” companies can no longer be trusted because a rapidly augmenting percentage of the people of this nation and this world have no sense of morality or honor. Courts repeatedly issue verdicts of injustice because the efficacy of oaths has been destroyed and perjury runs rampant throughout the nation as lying has lost any stigma. In this culture glorifying violence and debauchery, children going to school and murdering other children in our public school system has become so common that the story of it barely makes the headlines through an entire day unless it is for the purpose of blaming the freedoms expatiated in our constitution. Our President and Attorney General give assault weapons to drug lords resulting in murders of American citizens – then commit treason against the people of the United States. They not just knowingly cover it up – but rather they exploit it for the purpose of blaming it on our constitution and exploit the tragedies they caused by using it as pseudo-justification to restrict more of our rights.
Then we find ourselves giving them undue deference and ask whether such people should be impeached at a time where historical precedence and our founding documents should demand they rightfully face trial for treason. We have now murdered over 50 million babies in the woumb since Roe v. Wade.
Anyone who examines the current moral state our nation and does not conclude that we are a society that is not on the verge of becoming a footnote in history and should instead focus on the economy has lost all sense of reality.
The final question is whether we will elect the leader who used to turn around companies or the leader whose rightful conclusion is that this once Christian nation needs to do what Israel eventually did under a righteous king who feared the Lord, tore down the alters in high places and declared a national day of repentance and mourning.As Job said “He makes the nations great, then destroys them.” America, unlike Israel does –not- have an eternal covenant with God. His children who follow him do; but his children can also be found all over the world being persecuted even onto death. What should make us so special as to warrant exception?What I am seeing in the GOP among the liberal faction is acrimony toward the conservatives who are doing everything they can to save this party. Santorum has been ridiculed, libeled and slandered for being “too religious”. This is not a good portent for America, especially when it is from within the Republican Party.
One thing that is for certain is that Barack Obama is an evil man with treacherous plans for America. But Americans including some Republicans are incredibly arrogant to think that just because we are America, that we can violate Gods commands without compunction and go on record stating as a people that our mammon is more important than standing for the godly principles upon which we were blessed to be founded – without thinking we will be held accountable.
As Isaiah said, the pride of men will be humbled and the loftiness of men will be abased.
Freedom is the natural state of man. Tyranny is the result of sin. Prosperity will naturally occur in a righteous nation. I believe we were already handed over to our enemy in 2008 and if we do not repent and turn from the wickedness to which we are enslaved, it is going to be over.
There is something spiritual going on in America that is far beyond anything we can see. It was palpable 2008 when we witnessed the masses in a state of unprecedented public euphoria, hand over our nation to a charismatic socialist. I was as though their eyes had been blindfolded and no matter how hard we tried to show them the clear evidence, they could not see the obvious.
Those blindfolds are now on the GOP and just like with Obama followers, the more they are shown the truth, the more obstinate they become. It cannot be mere irony that after years of being under this affliction of Obama, we in the Republican Party are faced with the prospect of nomination –another- charming figure of our own - who has a track record that opposes most of the fundamental values of our platform. Out of 300 million Americans from which to select a nominee, we are getting closer to nominating a charming man who causes the blind-folds to cover the eyes and seduce our own. After being handed over to the enemy for the past three plus years, out of the 300 million Americans, we are close to nominating one who follows one of America’s greatest false prophets, Joseph Smith.
The God of Israel and the God upon which this nation was founded made it clear who He is. He said “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the End”. He made it clear that there is only ONE God. At a time when we need to turn back to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, we are about to follow a different route and choose as our presidential nominee, a man who believes not only that there are infinite gods – but that He too can become god.
There is no irony at this cross-road. It is easy to go through the motions day by day and not think about the significance of what we are doing and the choices we make. To borrow a phrase from the American "Great Awakening" theologian Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758), “the physical universe is only the skeleton of reality”. Taking a circumspect view of the choices with which we are faced, I conclude that there is –no way- that the monumental decision we are making is not a spiritual moment in our history that will determine whether we are on the side of the One who blesses this nation for the past centuries.
I say none of this can be irony because irony only happens when the results are un-intended. That's why this is spiritual and beyond our comprehension. The results that will ensue are intentional and it is beyond the physical realm. It cannot be simple irony when at this pivotal time in American and –World- history, the Republican Party establishment is seeking to replace their false prophet with our own.
I will give credit to Romney. He made a great speech. The problem is that it was rhetoric and does not reflect his core beliefs. His core beliefs are reflected in his record as the Governor of Massachusetts. Conservatives do not CREATE programs that give away free cars, free car repairs, free car insurance and free AAA as a WELFARE BENEFIT.

But as three of the wealthiest men in the world and -Mitt Romney himself- after retiring from Bain in his life as a politician demonstrates - business acumen is clearly not a corollary to how a “businessman” will behave in government.
But no matter HOW much we point out Romney’s ignominious track record and the basic logic that explains it – people enchanted by their pre-determined outcome are "all-in" like the residents of Jones Town and we will not break their trance.
Hence, we have indeed met the enemy and he is us. We have the votes as a whole but we are talking about a few points needed to win those delegates. We don’t have the willingness to get behind one of the two conservative candidates. Therefore we will nominate Mitt Romney and we will lose.
America may very well be destroyed by Barack Hussein Obama. You might as well start making your plans accordingly. The question left will be which states will secede from the Union when Obamacare and effrontery against the constitution like you never imagined possible is implemented at a pace far greater than what we have seen or fathomed. You may want to consider South Carolina as a new residence.
The Republican Party has abandoned its platform and the values upon which it was founded by adopting the old Clinton mantra “it’s the economy stupid”. The party has gone on record stating that moral issues are not as important to us as our own back pockets. Like Israel, “the Apple of God’s eye” as God called them did after the death of King Solomon, we are going into apostasy. God prospered Israel up to that point because they obeyed God. Seeking the prosperity was not what made them prosperous and victorious even when overwhelmed by their enemy. Prosperity was a byproduct of virtue and obedience. After King Solomon died Israel and its Kings turned their back on God and disobeyed God. They adopted the false gods of those they defeated and built alters on the high places in direct disobedience to the one true God.
God was patient and he warned them. They did not listen and they were sacked by their enemies and handed over to slavery for centuries because they “kindled His anger against them”. It was not that God suddenly favored their evil enemies and was on the side of the nations to which he handed over Israel into captivity. It was His righteous discipline. God does not work on man’s timeline and through the prophets he told His people the Jews that he would deliver them when they repented. But generations of people and their posterity lived in slavery while God still kept his covenant with His people, that nation, Israel.
America was founded upon those Judeo-Christian principles. Though we are much larger geographically speaking, we were once like a “little-Israel” by adoption. It was those same principles and an extension of that same promise “I will bless those who bless you and I will curse those who curse you” that made us.America, especially under Barack Obama is not only getting closer to the day when we curse Israel and betray her, we have adopted the idols of this world. We are a nation addicted to entertainment, pornography and all kinds of sexual immorality (possibly our leading export and among the few things we currently “manufacture”). In the past few years we have seen state after state going on record and giving legal approbation to homosexual “marriage”. That’s not just our President but also our courts, state government after state government and legislatures. Our President has violated our military by not only allowing homosexual activity within but encouraging it. The federal government and state governments are indoctrinating –children- with homosexual propaganda. Major corporations like Home Depot, the NFL and a great many others are flagrantly funding and encouraging such sexual immorality. The basic sense of morality is almost gone from all aspects of life and it is leading to anarchy, the vacuum from which will always be despotism as our founders consistently warned. Balance sheets, income statements, housing appraisals even audited financials of the highest “blue chip” companies can no longer be trusted because a rapidly augmenting percentage of the people of this nation and this world have no sense of morality or honor. Courts repeatedly issue verdicts of injustice because the efficacy of oaths has been destroyed and perjury runs rampant throughout the nation as lying has lost any stigma. In this culture glorifying violence and debauchery, children going to school and murdering other children in our public school system has become so common that the story of it barely makes the headlines through an entire day unless it is for the purpose of blaming the freedoms expatiated in our constitution. Our President and Attorney General give assault weapons to drug lords resulting in murders of American citizens – then commit treason against the people of the United States. They not just knowingly cover it up – but rather they exploit it for the purpose of blaming it on our constitution and exploit the tragedies they caused by using it as pseudo-justification to restrict more of our rights.
Then we find ourselves giving them undue deference and ask whether such people should be impeached at a time where historical precedence and our founding documents should demand they rightfully face trial for treason. We have now murdered over 50 million babies in the woumb since Roe v. Wade.
Anyone who examines the current moral state our nation and does not conclude that we are a society that is not on the verge of becoming a footnote in history and should instead focus on the economy has lost all sense of reality.
The final question is whether we will elect the leader who used to turn around companies or the leader whose rightful conclusion is that this once Christian nation needs to do what Israel eventually did under a righteous king who feared the Lord, tore down the alters in high places and declared a national day of repentance and mourning.As Job said “He makes the nations great, then destroys them.” America, unlike Israel does –not- have an eternal covenant with God. His children who follow him do; but his children can also be found all over the world being persecuted even onto death. What should make us so special as to warrant exception?What I am seeing in the GOP among the liberal faction is acrimony toward the conservatives who are doing everything they can to save this party. Santorum has been ridiculed, libeled and slandered for being “too religious”. This is not a good portent for America, especially when it is from within the Republican Party.
One thing that is for certain is that Barack Obama is an evil man with treacherous plans for America. But Americans including some Republicans are incredibly arrogant to think that just because we are America, that we can violate Gods commands without compunction and go on record stating as a people that our mammon is more important than standing for the godly principles upon which we were blessed to be founded – without thinking we will be held accountable.
As Isaiah said, the pride of men will be humbled and the loftiness of men will be abased.
Freedom is the natural state of man. Tyranny is the result of sin. Prosperity will naturally occur in a righteous nation. I believe we were already handed over to our enemy in 2008 and if we do not repent and turn from the wickedness to which we are enslaved, it is going to be over.
There is something spiritual going on in America that is far beyond anything we can see. It was palpable 2008 when we witnessed the masses in a state of unprecedented public euphoria, hand over our nation to a charismatic socialist. I was as though their eyes had been blindfolded and no matter how hard we tried to show them the clear evidence, they could not see the obvious.
Those blindfolds are now on the GOP and just like with Obama followers, the more they are shown the truth, the more obstinate they become. It cannot be mere irony that after years of being under this affliction of Obama, we in the Republican Party are faced with the prospect of nomination –another- charming figure of our own - who has a track record that opposes most of the fundamental values of our platform. Out of 300 million Americans from which to select a nominee, we are getting closer to nominating a charming man who causes the blind-folds to cover the eyes and seduce our own. After being handed over to the enemy for the past three plus years, out of the 300 million Americans, we are close to nominating one who follows one of America’s greatest false prophets, Joseph Smith.
The God of Israel and the God upon which this nation was founded made it clear who He is. He said “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the End”. He made it clear that there is only ONE God. At a time when we need to turn back to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, we are about to follow a different route and choose as our presidential nominee, a man who believes not only that there are infinite gods – but that He too can become god.
There is no irony at this cross-road. It is easy to go through the motions day by day and not think about the significance of what we are doing and the choices we make. To borrow a phrase from the American "Great Awakening" theologian Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758), “the physical universe is only the skeleton of reality”. Taking a circumspect view of the choices with which we are faced, I conclude that there is –no way- that the monumental decision we are making is not a spiritual moment in our history that will determine whether we are on the side of the One who blesses this nation for the past centuries.
I say none of this can be irony because irony only happens when the results are un-intended. That's why this is spiritual and beyond our comprehension. The results that will ensue are intentional and it is beyond the physical realm. It cannot be simple irony when at this pivotal time in American and –World- history, the Republican Party establishment is seeking to replace their false prophet with our own.

Newt wants YOU to vote Santorum in Michigan
I heard Newt Gingrich say on Saturday that he expects Romney will likely have a good day on Tuesday. This I believe is Newt’s subtle way of releasing his supporters to vote for Rick Santorum in Michigan where he is polling 8% and also low in Arizona. Newt is sagacious enough to know that while he cannot ask his voters to do this, he knows that Santorum dealing Romney's campaign a mortal wound on Tuesday would be the best chance of making this a one on one race between himself (a strong conservative) and Santorum (a strong conservative).
Mitt blew $50 million of his own personal fortune in 2008 chasing his legacy. That’s a very significant percentage of his total estimated $250 million estimated net worth – and that’s not all liquid. From that we can presume that he is not about to make another such ridiculous gamble of the family fortune this time around as his smear campaign is currently being funded largely by "super-PACS".
The bottom line is that if he loses Michigan, you will quite possibly see a substantial quantity of that PAC money disappear. That’s the way it typically works with PACS. They typically chase performance as their real motive is to be in the good graces of whoever they see as likely to be in power.
So not only would Mitt Romney look severely weakened, his cash transfusion upon which he depends to do his dirty work would be as well.
With Romney’s inevitability mantra out of the way, the PACS would likely diversify between Santorum who is strong in the mid-west and possibly some of the northern states and Newt Gingrich who is strong in the south and West (where conservatives should coalesce around Newt to continue to bury Romney as long as he remains in the race).
This is how I know that Newt Gingrich wants his supporters to vote for Rick Santorum in Michigan and Arizona. His 8% do him no good there. Newt is not even campaigning in Michigan. As much as Newt supporters may want to actually vote for their candidate, most will understand that they are not helping their candidate at all by voting for him. It's ironic but a vote for Newt in Michigan and Arizona is a vote for Mitt Romney.
After this Tuesday I will be saying the same thing to states where Newt Gingrich is the leader such as Georgia. In some of these southern and western states, a vote for Santorum would be a vote for Mitt Romney. I personally voted for Newt Gingrich here in Florida because he was the conservative with the larger margin going into the election.
At this juncture this election is one of conservatives against the minority liberals who seek to once again hi-jack this party and it is bigger than either Rick or Newt as individual candidates.
It will be fun to listen to the pundits on Wednesday talk about what we just did. None of this would have been possible without the grass-roots capabilities provided by websites like http://www.Freerepublic.com and social networking.
Let’s go and make some history together.

Another typical Primary Season watching Fox News
I’m watching Justice with Judge Jeanine Pirro.
She personally seems to be impartial but she has this panel of three guests who are all dumping on Rick Santorum. They are mocking him for his stance on moral issues.
The fact that Santorum is –doing well in the Michigan Polls is impressive – yet they are all talking about it as though it is a negative. They are acting, spinning this as though Santorum was the FAVORITE going into Michigan and he should be leading by a landslide!
Following those three shills, her next guest was Joe Piscopo, who was the next to take a turn ridiculing Santorum for taking a stand against legislative and cultural debauchery in America. He just said that he’s a Democrat and works for Mitt Romney!
So here’s another OBJECTIVE self-professed DEMOCRAT altruistically advising us on how Mitt Romney is “the only candidate who can beat Barack Obama” (ignoring polls this week showing Santorum actually beating Obama if the election were held today and he were the nominee).
Wow, I am amazed at the sudden hospitality and benevolence of these Democrats who are “looking out” for us – because they just want us to have the best candidate we can possibly have in November. Go-l-l-y Sergeant Carter! I must have been wrong about those Democrats all these years.
This is OUTRAGEOUS.
As I stated here in my vlog "Stop the Romney Sleaze Machine", we KNEW that Romney was going to dump tens of millions in sleazy commercials in which he will lie, slander and libel his opponents a few days before the election in order to give his target as little time as possible to respond.
That’s Mitt’s modus operandi – but on top of having the “advantage” of being unscrupulous enough to say or do ANYTHING without ethical compunction and hundreds of millions with which to do it - Fox News is BLATANTLY pimping Romney 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. That’s a nice arrangement for Romney.
THIS TIME – Fox is managing this differently than in 2008. In 2008 they had their actual hosts and full-time pundits flat-out campaigning for Mitt. In one such case, Mort Kondracke and Fred Barnes – attacked Huckabee’s personal character as Mort said that “Mike Huckabee is not a good person” while Fred Barnes nodded in agreement.
(As an aside, I believe Huckabee would have almost certainly won the GOP nomination this time around but was successfully pacified with a weekend TV show after the hatchet-job had evangelical Christians outraged at Fox when that 2008 race was over.)
So now Fox has taken a slightly more clandestine approach. Instead of having the hosts shill for Mitt Romney – it appears they have the producers book nothing but –outside- shills as GUESTS on their shows to make it a bit less flagrant.
Aside from Mitt’s typical hit job commercial from which Fox is obviously profiting prodigiously, he gets a deal (even if unwritten) in which 90% of all Fox guests related to the GOP Primary are either on Romney’s payroll, were on his payroll or soon hope to be on Mitt’s payroll.
Another prime example was just this week, the very DAY AFTER “The Contrivance in Mesa” debate – when Fox had on their highly rated morning show “Fox & Friends” - TWO GUESTS to objectively evaluate the performance of the Mesa debate.
The two arbitrators of objectivity were:
Guest #1. Mitt Romney’s former debate coach Brett O’Donnell (I’m not making this up)
Guest #2. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie – who has been obnoxiously campaigning for Romney around the country ever since endorsing him.
I’m just bringing up random samples of merely a few hours of Fox that I watched this week between my busy work schedule. I can imagine for those who have it on all day, this must play like an Oral Roberts telethon where the establishment says give Mitt that nomination or something very bad is going to happen.
Are you truly sick of this? We CAN stop this. It’s not as though this guy has a ground swell of support. In fact, just like with McCain in 2008 – if you had taken a nationwide poll, state by state asking “WHICH CANDIDATE DO YOU NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE WANT TO REPRESENT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AS THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE?” -in both cases then and now McCain and Romney are both the two candidates who would have been and would be today – the undisputed winner (with New England states being the possible exceptions naturally).
Like I said, we CAN stop this easily. Here’s why and how:
Footnote: I think that Greta Van Susteren deserves recognition as the journalist at Fox News who is the exception. She has been fair and has not allowed Romney pimping by her guests to go unabated and unchallenged.
Thanks Greta. Who would have ever thought that Greta would have been the one when she initially came over to Fox News?

The Contrivance in Mesa
The media have gone out of their way to hype this “bout” as something that improved the prospects for the wounded Romney campaign but in terms of famous title fights, it was hardly the “Thrilla in Manila”. The reality is that if we were going to dub Thursday’s CNN Debate as a boxing title fight “The Contrivance in Mesa” would be more appropriate.
As I explained in the above video, below is a clip from the debate in Mesa, Arizona where the Mormon audience were booing Santorum as soon as he MENTIONED Romneycare. I have news for Romney followers; they are not going to be the studio audience in the general election when Obama thanks Romney for providing the – blueprint for Obamacare. Also, notice that in this video, Romney himself calls his own socialist albatross "Romneycare” as though it is a term of endearment. He’s apparently STILL proud of it!
As I also pointed out, take out all of the boo-tracks, laugh-tracks and applause-tracks provided by this fan club - and you have an ENTIRELY different debate.
The following clip is one in which Rick Santorum DESTROYED Mitt Romney in substance and style. It’s interesting that from within this very clip, the Murdoch media isolated, extracted then played non-stop on Thursday the little "zinger" where Romney tells Rick that he said on Laura Ingraham's show years ago that Romney is the conservative Rick endorsed for Governor.
Well, that is certainly excusable. Rick obviously fell for the specious notion that "Mitt Romney was a businessman who made hundreds of millions of dollars running a business". Well, at least SANTORUM learned from his MISTAKE in falling for that nonsense and he LEARNED his lesson because that endorsement was BEFORE Mitt Romney had a TRACK RECORD AS AN EXECUTIVE IN GOVERNMENT. That begs the question, what is YOUR excuse Fox? Mitt has a track record now and he has to circumvent, palliate and outright lie about the records of his opponents in order to distract people from even examining his own.
Back when Mitt ran for Governor, before he became a politician, and Rick ostensibly endorsed him, Rick apparently took the thesis now being crammed down our throats by Coulter and the like - at face value. Sounded good I'm sure; so why wouldn't he - at the time.
But that little hyped up zinger was extracted from a larger body of work that amounts to an outright butt-kicking! Without further ado, watch the video, focus on the substance and pretend that you don't hear the Mormon Tabernacle in the background and enjoy this overall Santorum upper cut to Mitt's glass jaw.
And when you hear ad nauseum - Fox pundits telling you that "polls indicate" that Rick Santorum "didn't have such a good night" - you tell them where they can put their polls.
