James Dobson on Laura Ingraham yesterday:
I don't believe that conservative Christians in large numbers will vote for a Mormon but that remains to be seen, I guess.
Meanwhile, Romney addressed New Hampshire Republicans this past weekend, where he compared the US favorably to Iraq and Afghanistan:
"It is a very different nation and a very different world that we enjoy here," Romney said. "Where life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are not just words. They mean something very deep to us."
Find out how deep after the break.
AP, 9/17/2006:
Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney also talked Saturday about the need for legislation to help CIA officials question suspected terrorists.
"I'm foursquare behind the president on this," Romney said. "We need to provide to the interrogators the definitive rules that they need" so that they are "not be subject to lawsuits" that might come from their work.
"The people we are facing are individuals who have no interest in the Geneva Convention," Romney said.
Mitt, it's not that Afghans and Iraqi think life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are "just words." It's that they think those things are "just words" when you say them.
A very different nation indeed.
We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men [and Women] are created equal, that they are endowed, by their Creator, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
But now this declaration takes a backseat to stopping potentially frivolous lawsuits. And if you don't pretend to respect the Geneva Conventions like we do, then all bets are off.
What happened to you, Mitt?
