Are we going to tie everything every Romney supporter does for the rest of his or her life to their support of Romney?

Enjoy President McShamnesty, you flaming lib.

Yes, I say terrorist sympathyzing Wright. For just a moment, let’s put aside the outrageous comments of Wright and most recently Otis Moss. These are just recent blurbs.

Recall Wright’s visit to Moammar Kadafi with Wright’s friend Louis Farrakhan in 1984. Libya, you may recall, was the country that blew up Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, on Dec. 21, 1988. The blast killed 270 people, 189 of them Americans. It was the worst terrorist attack on American civilians before 9/11.

One could make the arguement that Mr. Wright’s trip was made prior to the bombing of the Lockerbie flight. Fair enough. But Kadafi was a well known terrorist at the time and Libya one of the preeminent sponsors of terrorism in the world.

Obama has said repeatedly that he has been a member of Trinity for about 20 years. That would mean he joined the church either just prior or just after the bombing of the flight and one would think that Wrights trip would have been common knowledge to the general congregation.

Are we to believe that a man of Obama’s intellect was both unaware of the bombing and unaware of Wright’s trip? How about the 1986 West Berlin bombing of the Disco in which over 220 people were injured, including 63 American soldiers; 2 US servicemen and one Turkish woman were killed in the blast.

What did Obama know and when did he know it?

Telling yourself and others this is not a crackpot church doesn’t make it so.

Especially hilarious is his pompous declaration against [friends who will now become foes that surely we are Americans first, and so partisanship can have no place in these weighty decisions ... so I endorse] the candidate who is far and away the most partisan candidate remaining.

Truly absurd.

The question is if Professor Doug Kmiec is open to the concept that Kmiec’s views on the law will have a door accessible to him in an Obama Administration, who else might share this view in the same law and policy circles? Furthermore, what does it say about a potential McCain administration? Does Kmiec think his views of the law have a greater chance of making an impact with Obama than with McCain?

It is to have put that hope, meanwhile, into untrustworthy and unscrupulous hands in the service of blind faith.
Perfect description of Kmiec’s column where he declares for Obama after supporting Romney. How embarrassing for him.

I’d be alarmed to have to sit across from a table with the guy and pretend to still respect him.

Kmiec’s foolish decision says exactly ZERO about a future McCain administration.

This seems to be the truth and has been drilled into peoples consciousness to the point it eclipses any and all other issues. At yesterdays Easter dinner I was amazed at how deeply the liberal talking points have penetrated, many folks blindly accept the Bush lied people died mantra, the 6 million dead, its all our fault dogma. Any attempt to bring fact into the argument was met with shrieks of 4000 dead… (somehow this trumps all) Granted, I am in hostile territory surrounded by the Kennedy mafia here in Massachusetts, but there was not critical thought or honest debate, it was all emotion and a sense of righteous arrogance, needless to say I was forced to end the engagement due to “family” considerations, and yes I was branded the Republican racist. All hail the Messiah!

“These truths we hold to be self-evident…”

… and ignoring all evidence to the contrary, that is…

Yes. He’s going to unite the leftJihadists with the far-left atheists. He’s a uniter.

It was a grammatical error when he said “I am going to bring the west and the islamic world together”…….what he meant to say was “I will make the west islamic”. Oops.

Rev. Wright=Redd Foxx in drag

What’s really going on here?

A small act in the greater Theater of the Absurd. The year will bring much grander scenes. Every season uncovers a few ‘lost’ (political) souls.

Setting off alarms, as in people think Kmiec didn’t really say these things and the reporter is lying?

Definitely not this. The Slate piece is written by Kmiec.

Or setting off alarms, as in people think Kmiec has lost his mind and no longer respect him as a conservative judicial expert like they once did?

Definitely not this either.

Or setting off alarms, as in making people suspect he’s been paid off or threatened to say these things?

Not a chance on this.

Can you clarify?

How can he square his support for this radical leftist with his other stated positions? He seems to have determined that there is only one issue in this campaign: Iraq.

The Kmiec Slate piece is already being passed around on confidential email lists that I know. It’s setting off alarms. Kmiec is well respected inside conservative legal circles.

But hey there, Romney and his men are uniquely positioned to understand opposing points of view, having moved from one to the other in 2005-6.

Can’t we have a debate between the two party candidates before we start endorsing people for President?
