Probing Questions: Romney, Reid, Keyes

Probing Questions: Romney, Reid, Keyes
The relentless pursuit of the truth - www.cinopsbegoneblogspot.com - Saturday, Apr. 7/12

PREFACE: As of today, Mitt Romney is not yet the chosen presidential candidate. It would not be America anymore; if same-sex marriage was legalized. First of all, same-sex marriage is unconstitutional and was never part of the Constitution. Something happened in the Mass. State Legislature in June, 2007 that is always been in the stomach of my mind.

It occurred after Mitt Romney was Governor and left office. Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi was responsible for bribing 16 Knights of Columbus legislators to prevent a normal marriage measure from being on the ballot for the 2008 election. Evangelicals, Mormons, Catholics and other Christians collected 170,000 signatures.

The successful bribe came from the Gay Agenda Lobby. The mission of the K. of C. is to get those signatures back on the ballot in Mass. and any other state where same-sex marriage is legalized.

I can understand as Governor of Massachusetts, Mitt had to make stupid liberal comments in order to get elected. But he made at least one fatal decision to the state and nation, and contrary to Mormon, Catholic and other Christian beliefs. Alan Keyes states:

“In 2008, Republican presidential candidate Alan Keyes may not get invited to the televised debates but that doesn’t mean he’s going to stay out of the fray … when he believes [others have} abandoned his party’s values - particularly on the issue of same-sex marriage.

“On his campaign website this week, Keyes blasted former Gov. Mitt Romney for being “single-handedly responsible for instituting same-sex marriage in Massachusetts” for the way he responded to the state ruling in 2003.

The article continues: “Most people are unaware of the way Mass., came to adopt same-sex marriage,” the former Reagan administration diplomat said. “They think the state’s Supreme Judicial Court forced it to happen. That’s incorrect.”

The court merely issued an opinion stating that, in its view, the existing marriage law was unconstitutional because it failed to allow persons of the same sex to marry,” Keyes said. “The court then gave the legislature 180 days to ‘take such action as it may deem appropriate in light of this opinion’ - implicitly telling lawmakers to come up with a new marriage statute.”

Noting that the legislature did not act within the court-imposed 180-day window, refusing to let the judiciary infringe on its law-making powers, Keyes said the only reason same-sex marriage became the law was because of Romney’s actions.

“Mitt Romney pushed through same-sex marriage all by himself, in the absence of any authority of requirement to do so, having a complete misunderstanding of his role as governor and of the significance of the court’s opinion,” said Keyes.

Keyes then emphasizes, “The court never ordered him to act, nor did he have the right to act, since the legislature never changed the law. Romney claimed he had no other choice, but that’s completely untrue.” The WND piece additionally cites constitutional expert Herb Titus - founding dean of Regent University Law School - as saying Romney “got it wrong.” What Romney did [was] he exercised illegal legislative authority,” Titus said. “He was bound by what? There was no order … to do anything.”

P.S. I believe there is no low profile Mormon believing politician in Congress who promotes abortion/infanticide or same-sex marriage. The Mormon Church would excommunicate him. High profile Democratic Senator Harry Reid and Governor Mitt Romney seem to be exempt. The Catholic Church is totally lax with excommunication.

I wonder if the CINOP has ever been warned of not being eligible to a Catholic funeral. I don’t ever want to see another similar to the one that occurred in Boston years ago. President Reagan said, “Self delusion in the face of facts is folly.”
