Romney warns of theocracy danger

In remarks in N.C., says US under attack

By Seth Effron and Raphael Lewis, Globe Staff | October 11, 2005

RALEIGH, N.C. -- Venturing into foreign policy, Governor Mitt Romney yesterday told a largely Republican audience that Islamic terrorists ''want to bring down our government" and ''want to put in place a huge theocracy."

''We're under attack, as you know, militarily," Romney told about 150 people gathered at an exclusive Raleigh country club. ''They're not just intent on blowing up a little bomb here and there at a shopping mall, awful as that would be. They want to bring down our government, bring down our entire economy. They want to put in place a huge theocracy."

''Thank heavens we have a president of the United States who recognizes this for what it is and has declared war on it, and thank heavens we have a military that consists of the strongest and bravest and most able men and women in the world," Romney said :eyes:

-snip-

"Then he was asked if he felt Islamic terrorists want to take over the United States. Romney said: ''No. No. No.""

-snip-

Is this man insane of what? :crazy:

Seems to me we should be afraid of religious mormon zealots like Romney!
:eyes: :smoke: :crazy:

1. Is he talking about Jerry Fatwell? n/t

[TechBear_Seattle]

2. GOP worries about theocracy. Can you say, "Hypocrites"? n/t

[GreenPartyVoter]

14. I can say it

[zanne]

3. He's never sounded like a nut before.

Obviously, he's trying to reach out to more Republicans across the country.

[soleft]

4. Trashing your own state sounds pretty nutty to me

Which he did when making a speech recently in I believe, SC

10. Yep, just another stick in the eye of Massachusetts...

He's toast and he knows it. And he ain't gonna make it in the Presidential arena either. I'll be glad when his term expires :D

[Mr_Spock]

19. You forgot you use the SARCASM smiley

This guy has been backstabbing Massachusetts since the minute he got into office. He's been spewing ever changing stances on issues like abortion and gays over time. He's an opportunist and a nut-case RW hack.

20. I admit to not knowing much at all about Mitt Romney,

so I have to ask: how on earth did he get elected in a state as liberal as Massachusetts?

[teamster633]

21. I'll second that question.

I live just north of MA in NH and one of the few good things that happened on 11-2-04 was that we threw over our twit of a repuke governor, Craig Benson, for a Dem. How did MA end up with Romney?

5. Pot meet kettle.........n/t

[ozarkvet]

6. He'll never make it.

The Fallwell portion of the Republicans would never embrace a Mormon.

There is quite a lively discussion going on.

A comment in the Massachusetts forum would also appreciated - http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=158x6900 - it's very quiet there today.

[Mr_Spock]

13. Thanks, I commented in the LBN thread...

This fellow is just plain silly - as if he doesn't understand that everything he says is documented for all time. He's a small thinker shooting for a high post...

9. what, exactly, is the difference between

an islamic extremist and a christian extremist? they're both pushing fot a theocratic state.

[Mr_Spock]

12. My point exactly.

Between that hypocrisy and his taking back of his comments within minutes of making them - he has to be considered a completely unreliable person - he has to base to him. He would say anything to please anybody - he can't make it far with this amount of hypocrisy.

16. All the difference on God's green earth

It is good when it is your religion that creates the theocracy. It is wicked when it not your religion that creates the theocracy.

Very simple. If you have a lobotomy, that is. :crazy:

[afdip]

17. the "my god is better than your god" argument

rears its ugly head again. it is always out there.

[kick-ass-bob]

11. I like how he talked at the Country Club.

:eyes:

[Arkana]

15. Shitt should talk.

His whole aim since day 1 was to turn MA into Mormon paradise. It's a good thing the Dems control everything and keep people sane.

18. And He Walked Out The Door With 35K...Thank-You Very Much

Welcome to feeding the lions at the zoo. Throw 'em the red meat and give 'em something to get all mad about.

This is typical Repugnican boiler-plate bullshit that is being said in districts all over the country...the silent campaign that attempts to keep the remaining supporters on board and "energize them" (translation: get out the check book).

The lunacy of Romney's bullshit aren't really worth commenting about as they're so far from reality and with no facts to back it up, he mights as well have said Martians and it would have had the same validity.

The money game within the GOOP is on...with no one annointed by this regime or with the massive organization the BFEE has...we're seeing the fringe candidates coming out and trying to "connect" and shake a few dollars loose in the process.

22. "Romney warns of theocracy." Didn't read it. Is he talking about Utah?

[warrens]

23. Oh, please let him run for president

Oh pleez, oh pleez. I'll be good and make my bed every day.
