STOP ROMNEY NOW!

"Of all the tyrannies that afflict mankind, tyranny in religion is the worst. Every other species of tyranny is limited to the world we live in, but this attempts a stride beyound the grave and seeks to pursue us into eternity."
- Thomas Paine

Governor Romney just became public enemy number one. I will vote for Newt Gingrich for every office for the rest of my life to avoid this man becoming president. His answers at the Youtube debate on torture were horrific. He had McCain (who looks liberal and sane compared to Romney) screaming, "So you would do away with the Geneva Conventions?" He all but told Romney that he wasn't fit to stand on the same stage.

And then comes his speech today. I am no longer a friend of America or of freedom according to Romney:

"Any person who has knelt in prayer to the Almighty, has a friend and ally in me."
- Well, I guess I cannot be his friend and ally.

"I will take care to separate the affairs of government from any religion, but I will not separate us from ‘the God who gave us liberty.’"
- WHAT?!

"Freedom requires religion just as religion requires freedom. Freedom opens the windows of the soul so that man can discover his most profound beliefs and commune with God. Freedom and religion endure together, or perish alone."
- So, those without freedom (read: the Axis of Evil, right?) can never know religion? Conversely, those who are not religious (read: ME and much of Europe) cannot know freedom?

"We should acknowledge the Creator."
- SHOULD? According to your morals or your political beliefs? ARE YOU F§$%ING NUTS?

This horrifying bigot has just disenfranschised me, most of my friends, most of Europe and almost the entire Muslim world. He does this while attacking the constitutional ban on the establishment of a religion (Christianity). Finally, he still refuses to allay any of the legitimate fears surrounding his religion.

This man would be the final key in our turn towards fascism/tyranny, a la Sinclair Lewis/Thomas Paine. STOP ROMNEY NOW.

I have to admit that this was more or less my reaction to his speech as well.
