Romney Judicial Record: Liberals Running Wild

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney has announced that he will appoint conservative judges to the federal bench if he wins the White House.

In a forum hosted by former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, Romney said he likes “strict constructionists” on the federal bench.

“I’d like people who recognize that their job is to protect the Constitution and to follow the Constitution as it was written and intended,” he said. “And to follow the laws of Congress as written and intended, rather than the Supreme Court seeing its role as springing from or departing from the Constitution.”

That statement echoes what Romney said during a 2008 California debate.

“I would approve justices – I would have favored justices like Roberts and Alito, Scalia and Thomas,” he said. “I like justices that follow the Constitution, do not make law from the bench. I would have much rather had a justice of that nature.”

Political analyst Steve Baldwin contends that Romney’s constitutional rhetoric is the product of his quest for the White House.

    Soros: Obama, Romney 'Not Much Difference' article & youtube video of interview of George Soros

    Billionaire financier George Soros thinks that, if Mitt Romney wins the presidency, there will be "little difference" between him and Barack Obama in the White House.

    Soros offered the reassuring news to liberals across Europe during an interview this week in Davos, Switzerland.

    As policymakers from Hong Kong to Canada pressed Greece and its creditors to strike a deal to cut the nation’s debt, Soros pressed in on GOP presidential candidate Romney:

    "Well, look, either you’ll have an extremist conservative, be it Gingrich or Santorum, in which case I think it will make a big difference which of the two comes in," Soros told Reuters in a videotaped interview.

      You forgot, didn’t include, the rest of “our” ‘lected “Representatives”!
      ?extremist conservative?
      They’re For it, whatever, if it is PROFITABLE – for them!
      So. . . whoever “they” let us ‘chose’ from – ! . ! . !

      • The Truth

        Still does not diminish Romney's record. “As governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney not only failed in this regard, he appointed a number of very liberal, if not radical, ‘living, breathing’-minded judges to the bench,” Barber said.
        Romney is a progressive liberal.

        • Jacy

          Romney will say anything to get the nomination – desperation is beginning to show! The Truth is right –
          Romney did apppoint all liberal judges – he made liberal choices during his one term governorship. He has flip flopped on major issues – do you honestly think this man wouldn't cave and flip flop when faced with controversy if elected president? How does he argue against Obamacare when Romneycare was the pattern and for which he defended not to long ago? Romney is a mistake – he will say anything to win the nomination – truth or lies.

    • patriotrenegade

      that is a trick by soros CFR. knewtiebird is a CFR so figure it out. He's helping his globalist pal with disinformation. Was the CFR brought up? hah! not on american TV. CFR owned-all. look it up.

      • Stan Lee

        Soros is a seriously devious Socialist who has discovered how to game national monetary systems. He has been successful in "buying" politicians in high places. He obviously believes that "everyone has his price."
        For sure, Obama has. As much as I believe Romney's intentions overmatch his softness, I just don't believe he'd sell-out to a disgusting man like Soros.
        The reason Soros has stated that Romney and Obama are alike, is Soros' attempt to diminish votes against Obama.

    If Newt can keep it close in the highly unpredictable state of FL which is made up of the melting pot of our country, he stands a good chance of getting the nomination. The ole guard GOP establishment that gave us McPain, er, ah, McCain in 2008 is trying to push Romney down our throats in 2012. Let's just hope that they're not successful this time around.

    • dingbat36

      Yes indeed and aren't we just sick (and tired) of all these wishy-washy, insipid moderates that the Republican establishment keeps "picking" for us and attempting to stuff down our throats………..Obama has made us really aware of that particular tactic. When push comes to shove however, I'd vote for ELMER FUDD if it were the only option other than Obama!!

    • Frank

      Yeah. I held my nose & voted for McPain, I mean McCain (mostly because liked Palin). I doubt this time around I'll vote for McRomney if the establishment GOP rams him down our throat. The way I see it: if the economy sputters along at an anemic 2-3% growth in GDP, the 50% of voters dependent on the economy will re-elect Obama no matter who the GOP nominates. If the economy crashes for some reason, then the GOP will win no matter who they nominate. In either case, if it's McRomney vs Obama, I'm voting 3rd Party. If it's anyone else vs Obama, I'll vote GOP. A case can be made that there is really just 1 anti-Progressive in this race, 2 mixed bags & 2 clear cut Progressives (including Obama as 1 of the 2). I'll risk voting for the mixed bags.

    we WILL have a form of Obamacare if Romney is elected Listen to Romney explain how he likes some parts of
    Ocare and some parts of Romney care.”keep some of the good parts…..
    The mandate WILL remain costs will skyrocket

    • Lonnie Lynch

      You are so correct, Romney , as far as I can remember has never said that he would get rid of Obamacare but would give every state an exemption… Why not just get rid of the damn thing ??? I would expect that maybe he would rather just "improve" it ?? yah, that sounds about right to me ……..

  • Mike

    Mitt Romney must be getting desperate as his paid phone survey people are calling and not identifying themselves as Mitt Romney people asking if you are going to your caucus in February. If you answer yes, they ask who you will be voting for. If you say someone other than Mitt Romney they will try and not get you elected as a voting delegate to the next level. What a bunch of weasels!

    Newt Gingrich To GMA: George Soros Said ‘He’s Perfectly Happy With Either Obama Or Romney’
    GOP presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich gave an interview to ABC’s Good Morning America, where he told host George Stephanopoulos, where he invoked the words of none other than influential liberal magnate George Soros.
    The tension between Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich has been heating up as the two prepare for the Florida primary, prompting Gingrich to “bring out the big guns” — the fact that George Soros recently shared wouldn’t exactly move to Canada over the idea of a Romney presidency.

    “I think Romney’s problem,” Gingrich told Stephanopoulos, “is that the big truth beats the big lie. George Soros in Europe yesterday said publicly in a Reuters interview on video that he’s perfectly happy with either Obama or Romney, that they’re the same people. Minor differences. He said “Gingrich, now, that would be a real change.’”
    Romney “can bury me for a very short amount of time with four or five or six times as much money, most raised of it raised on Wall Street from the guys who got bailouts from the government,” Gingrich added. “In the long run, the Republican party is not going to nominate the founder of RomneyCare, a liberal Republican who is pro-abortion, pro-gun control and pro-tax increase. It ain’t gonna happen.”

    • patriotrenegade

      now tell me before you have anymore, soros is a CFR, knewtiebird is a CFR. Ya with me so far? Do you remember saying on this board that replacing a globalist with a globalist was stupid? Now you do the opposite, all the time. Think about this.

      • Frank

        I hear you and you make a good point. But I see Gringrich as a "mixed bag", imperfect like Reagan was imperfect yet able to get this nation back on the main track at times, if he sets his mind to it. Is that a guarantee Newt will ignore his CFR credentials? Nope.

        Like I say, I hear your point, but now if it's Romney or Newt or 3rd Party, I'll risk Newt. I can understand why you'd probably go 3rd Party before Newt or Romney vs Obama.

  • Ralph Shufeldt

    How can Conservative Byte call itself a voice of conservatism, "take a byte out of liberalism", and then allow one of the most liberal senators, Debbie Stabenow, to advertise on its web page?????

  • D'Bak61

    RINO Romney is the proverbial willow, bending with the political breeze so he won't get broken by the stiff winds of change that conservatives long for. The only thing that will force this RINO to do what we want is to give him overwhelming aka veto proof majorities that will pull him to tthe RIGHT. I still have an extra 'McCain' barf-bag from last time; never thought I'd need another one after that debaucle!

  • Lucy

    Ya know, I've studied the records of Newt and Mitt, and the other GOP candidates for several weeks now. One thing remains constant . . . you can read into their records what you want, good and bad. Newt has a questionable past. And Mitt? Well, I just don't trust him or what he says. It's always what he thinks what you want to hear. Go figure???

  • Villa Merkle

    It is so nice to have George Soros the man who betrayed his own people in Humgary and helped, the Nazi's effort towards sending Hungarian Jewish people to Concentration Camps!

    This is a fine reccomendation for Romney to get from Soros, an high up elitist Globalist!

    That should tell us all something about Romney?

    Ron Paul is for Liberty 2012!

    • spelunker7

      Paul wants open borders, legalized drugs, abortion on demand, thinks Iran should have nuclear weapons, be;ieves the U.S. provoked the 9/11 attack, and wants to strip the military.

    If you want to get an unbiased report on what the people of MA thought of Willard's record of MA, log into you-tube and in their search engine type Mitt Romney's record as governor of MA…you're going to get your eyes full….the people of MA don't like Willard Romney.

  • AlleyOops75

    It's readily apparent why this web site has lost all its' posters….who wants to wait an hour or so for approval…I haven't asked for any one's approval since I left home and went out on my own and that's been lots and lots of moons ago.

  • Allen

    Romneycare allowed partial birth abortions and now Obamacare is forcing even religious employers into purchasing plans that fund abortions.

    When Romney told Nikki Hailey that he would grant South Carolina an exemption from Obamacare, it pretty much exposed the secret that Romney does not intend to get rid of it for other states.

    Even if South Carolina might be exempt, South Carolina taxpayers would still have to kick in for where it isn't exempt.

    With that being said, how can even one true Republican vote for this Massachusetts LIBERAL?

  • Jean

    Nancy Reagan said after President Ronald Reagan died that her husband was passing the torch on to Newt to carry on.
    If anyone has the sheer guts, determination and the experience to beat Obama and the Obama money machine it is Newt. People say Newt is angry well I am angry too right along with most conservatives…so what? Has New made mistakes in the past? Yes he has and readily admits that. Don't we all wish we had done some things differently.?
    To hear Obama tell it, he has never made a mistake and if something went wrong then it was someone else's fault.
    I much prefer Newt Gringrich over the rest of the Republican field but even Santorum would be a very welcome change, although he does not have near the experience that Newt has.
    The only way Romney would get my vote is if he is the Republican Candidate. Anybody is better than Obama.

  • BORN AMERICAN

    For some reason I feel that Romneys reminds me of BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA! Jobs .. things are going to get better .. we have to turn the economy around, blah .. blah .. blah. That's how this loser in the White House got elected by lying. Romney is not the person I would vote for, especially after reading Time magazine article Jan. 9, 2012, an effort to usher in an ESTABLISHMENT – APPROVED candidate. One of his denials was to Newt Gringrich, that he didn't know about false ads against him. But according to the Times magazine. "The PACs tend to be CLOSE associates of the candidates".

    Then I came upon another passage. "The GOP, have QUIETLY moved behind Romney." Another OBAMA?

    He knows we need someone but do we desperately need Romney, someone that will give favors to those that helped him. Or someone that won't tolerate SECRET SOCIETIES that want to run our country? VOTE SOCIALIST/COMMUNIST OBAMA OUT in 2012!! VOTE NEWT GINGRICH (AMERICAS HOPE) in 2012!!!!

    • Myra

      I am for Newt, but if Romney gets in I will vote for him. He was a governor and ran businesses. Obama was just a community organizer.

  • One2Stupid

    I'm a retired cop, left the Republican 10 years ago because of RINO's, and have contributed to numerous conservatives such a Rep. West, Michelle Bachman, Newt Gingrich and a conservative for Gabrielle Gifford’s recently vacated seat, Frank Antenori. I don't know who I will vote for in this primary. (In Arizona independents can declare which primary they will vote)

    I remember when Bill Clinton moved to the center during his re-election so he could work with Newt to get something done. We all applauded. He was doing what the people "wanted". Isn't that what Romney did in a dark blue state like Massachusetts? I don't agree with some of the crap he did. But, he was the Governor of a left wing state and had to "lean" left to get anything done (Romney Care—-GAG).

    I mean Newt certainly has got his baggage too. Let's cut the constant bashing of each other and attack the real evil, Barry Sotero aka the "Imposter" in the White House.

    Stop the cannibalism!

  • Michael

    Romney is Obummer-lite, and thus will be nearly as dangerous, and for the same reasons, regardless of what he SAYS merely to gain the nomination and, if lucky, the presidency. The US as a free representative republic will be permanently buried if either Obummer or Obummer-lite is elected. We will continue the current and quick slide into total SOCIALISM and then on into mind-and-body-control-for-the-good-of-the-State COMMUNISM. WAKE UP AMERICA !
