A variation of this article is at the popular blog RFFM.org. In the early comments about it on the Internet pro-Romney hit-and-run specialists have displayed their trademark reliance on snorting and snickering.  We invite them to disprove our factual statements - perhaps the Massachusetts Constitution (cited below) which crushes Romney's lie: "the judges made me do it." Have at it, Romniacs.  Or admit you're in on the scam!

ATTENTION, EARTHLINGS!
This is our final offer. You must accept Romney as your Deputy Leader!

by John Haskins and Gregg Jackson

When Ann Coulter's evil twin arrived from Planet Obama and endorsed Mitt Romney she called the former Massachusetts governor "manifestly our best candidate." Human Events -- the once conservative press organ for which the other Coulter writes as "chief legal correspondent" -- had ranked Romney the eighth most liberal RINO (Republican In Name Only) in America in 2005.

 
NEWS PHOTOS: Ann Coulter's evil twin arriving from Planet Obama to officially notify earthlings that Willard Mitt Romney is "manifestly our best candidate." (Their very best? But, umm, who might they be? Did they say this is their final offer? Final, final, final?)

But that was before Human Events had fully completed it's ideological sex-change surgery (from fearless, muscular conservative to fashionable "metrosexual" eunuch) slavishly following the example set by the National Review, the American Spectator and most of the jacuzzi "conservatives" on radio, Fox News and the Internet.

There have been remarkably convincing surgeries all around (if you haven't yet read THIS you don't have a clue!). GOP establishment water boy Sean Hannity and cosmic pom pom girl Laura Ingraham robotically radio-evangelize for Mitt Romney -- the Founding Father of sodomy-based "marriage" (airtight proof right here) and the fifty-dollar, taxpayer-subsidized abortion -- as the second coming of Ronald Reagan.

Curiouser and curiouser! (Oh, there's much MORE the "conservative" establishment won't tell you.) (CONTINUED BELOW)

  
UPPER TWO PHOTOS: A hundred million dollars of propaganda and cover-up goes a long way.

 
LOWER TWO PHOTOS:  Not to be outdone by Ann Coulter's evil twin from Planet Obama, a remotely-controlled Laura Ingraham clone arrived from a parallel anti-universe to ensure that simple conservative-proletariat earthlings remain mesmerized by Romney's 100 million-dollar noise and flash show.

Romney the wallflower bats his eyelashes and coyly pretends not to notice his people hyping rumors of a McCain-Romney ticket--as he criss-crosses the country campaigning and fundraising for the very same John McCain who Romney said during the primaries was "almost indistinguishable" from Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

But perhaps Romney intended that as a compliment, since he himself was virtually a GOP clone of Obama, before he remanufactured himself to seduce conservative primary voters and flooded the market with cash for those who sell themselves as spokesmen-advisors for the conservative grassroots.

Both authors of this article formerly supported Romney.  But we've examined the actions behind his words far more carefully than the lemming-like "conservative" elites. The truth is that leading "conservative" lawyers, radio pundits and "pro-family" leaders whom conservatives trusted for years have ruthlessly suppressed the truth about Romney's hideous record as governor -- even after all his "conversions."

It took a hundred million dollars of Romney cash to waterboard Americans with Orwellian propaganda via "conservative" talk radio, Fox News and "pro-family" lawyers and religious mercenaries.  Their consensus is they've rewritten enough history to fool enough of the people enough of the time.

They are calling Romney the favorite to be McCain's running mate.  But many real conservatives -- the long-suffering field slaves of the Republican Party-- already know or sense the truth about this man. The American Spectator reports:

McCain campaign insiders say that while it's true they have polled Romney on the (McCain) ticket, the data confirms that such a move would be a political disaster for the party.

"Mitt tanks the ticket," says a McCain insider. "We lose fiscal conservatives. We lose social conservatives. We lose Catholics. We lose evangelicals. All the groups were spending time and money on bringing into the camp would be lost. He just doesn't help us enough to do something like this, as much as Mitt might think we should. He doesn't even win us Massachusetts."

No, kidding. The American Spectator is among the formerly conservative media that have cast journalistic integrity aside and refused to report the ugliest parts of Romney's actions and measure his misrepresentations about the law against the Massachusetts Constitution.

The mercenary GOP elites are still airbrushing Romney into a Reagan-esque figure. They've totally fooled Dr. James Dobson of "Focus on the Family," who called him, "a man pro-family voters could support." Consider:

1. In 2002 Romney opposed a state constitutional amendment defining marriage.  To get the homosexual Log Cabin Republicans' endorsement, which he aggressively sought in both 1994 and 2002, he secretly promised to violate the state Constitution and illegally impose sodomy-based "marriage" if merely given the fig leaf of a legally impotent court opinion.  In 2003 he got the excuse he needed when four outlaw judges belched forth the Goodridge opinion urging the legislature to legalize sodomy-based "marriage."  (CONTINUED BELOW)

 
Furious and confused Massachusetts citizens had no clue back in 2004 that their governor had made a secret campaign promise to the "Log Cabin" homosexual Republicans to violate the Supreme Law of the Commonwealth. They were wasting their time defending their unalienable right of self-government -- and marriage, childhood and family as nature designed them. The deal had already been sealed behind closed doors.

The state constitution explicitly says the judges have absolutely no voice in marriage law. None. It says only the legislature can alter the laws. Only. The very same court has admitted this. And even the ultra-liberal Massachusetts legislature rejected the judges' fantasy as lacking any legal force.

But Romney and his ABA-approved "conservative" legal experts went to work. They pretended that the court's attempt to bluff the legislature into changing the marriage laws somehow bound the chief executive of the statutes to pretend that the intact marriage statutes had actually been changed. 

Alliance Defense Fund lawyer David French even embarrassed himself by pretending that judges who claimed authority to redefine the term "marriage" in common law (as mere court opinions are often called) were also magically redefining both the Legislature's binding intent in the statutes and redefining the intent of the sovereign people as expressed in their state Constitution. 

Bizarrely, French either didn't know or pretended not to know that Massachusetts has no common law marriage. He even stubbornly ignored the fact that the Massachusetts Constitution explicitly removes all authority over marriage law from judges. The Goodridge opinion met no imaginable standard of law. It is null and void.

But Romney put on a spectacular show for the public.  He avowed undying fealty to natural human marriage and the people's right to govern themselves, free from tyrannical judges. He suddenly found a political use for the "Mormon family values" he had thoroughly trashed as governor.  He publicly protested that these "arrogant judges" had violated the state Constitution (and thus, their oaths of office).  He was right. They had, but no where near as grossly as he was about to.  He had secret campaign promises to keep for the "Log Cabin" Republican homosexuals, and the inauguration oath he had pledged the People and to God would have to be broken. 

In a brazen display of contempt for the sovereign People, their Constitution which he had sworn to defend and the God in whose name he swore his oath, Romney opposed a citizens' effort to remove the four outlaw judges who he openly accused of violating their oaths of office to impose their personal preferences on the people!

Yes. You've read that correctly. He opposed removing the judges.   (CONTINUED BELOW)

NEWS PHOTO: Chief Justice Margaret Marshall's tanks
With nothing more than the Massachusetts National Guard, the State Police, public opinion and a worthless old constitution backing him up, the governor was powerless against Chief Justice Margaret Marshall's mighty tanks, piloted as they were by fearless and highly trained veteran (draft-dodger) journalists from the Boston Globe. Though the state constitution explicitly denies judges authority over marriage laws, sodomy-based "marriage" was suddenly required by the constitution because... well, simply because Judge Maggie said it was. And that was all it took for Mighty Mitt Romney. It meant nothing that the state constitution explicitly says Judge Maggie has no say in it.

Mitt was caught between a Log Cabin and a hard place. He had trashed the Supreme Law of Massachusetts to hand homosexual Republicans a social revolution that had been unthinkable (and pushed homosexual adoption, signed in fifty-dollar abortions at taxpayer expense...).  But he also wanted to be the "Leader of the Free World." To convince conservative primary voters that he was their man he'd have to portray himself as a principled defender of marriage, children, life and constitutional governance. 

Impossible. But Mitt had a business plan: he would take the state Constitution totally out of the discussion and make facts go away by writing checks.  To whom?  Well, to the conservative elites, of course -- the self-proclaimed guardians of life, marriage and constitutions. After all, is there a cheaper date in America?

Fulfilling his secret 2002 campaign promises to the "Log Cabin" homosexuals, Romney told America through crocodile tears that arrogant, tyrannical judges had forced him to violate Articles V, X, XX and XXX of Parts One and Two of the Massachusetts Constitution: "We obviously have to follow the law as provided by the [Court] and … decide 'what kind of statute we can fashion which is consistent with the law."

Law?

What law?" asked renowned conservative leader and attorney Phyllis Schlafly.

"There is no law that requires or even allows same-sex marriages," she added (thereby exposing dozens of "conservative" establishment mercenaries aggressively spreading Romney's fairy tale). 

Romney systematically lied to the public about his obligations under the Constitution, pretending that the judges forced him to carry out their fantasy and violate the Constitution and the marriage laws.  He illegally authorized changes creating still legally null and void marriage licenses to accommodate homosexual "marriages."  He ordered state officials to ignore the explicit proof in the Constitution that he was lying and violate the marriage laws. 

And he threw truckloads of cash at the "conservative" establishment to buy their silence and complicity. He acquired a stable of mercenary "conservative" legal experts to sell this lie for him. Some, like Harvard law professor Mary Ann Glendon and radio lawyer Hugh Hewitt even directly contradicted their previous statements! With his "conservative" mercenaries, Romney has flooded the media with provably false propaganda that judges "legalized" same-sex marriage." 

Even before California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger followed his lead, Romney had already had an historic legacy. He effectively suspended some eight articles of the state constitution that was a model for the United States Constitution and with it the fundamental principles of American government. 

in America neither the law nor its terms are made or "defined" or redefined by judges -- despite the strenuous assertions of the American Bar Association's priceless "conservative" mercenaries. Nowhere in American law is it more clear that so-called "case law" (court opinions) has absolutely no role in steering public policy than in the Massachusetts Constitution.  (CONTINUED BELOW)

Marshall Law?

NEWS PHOTO: Margaret Marshall and her fellow judges forcing Romney to sign $50 abortions into law and violate the state Constitution by ordering officials to violate the marriage laws that allow only marriage between one man and one woman.

"Those judges made me do it," Romney claimed - neglecting to mention his secret 2002 campaign promise to the powerful "Log Cabin" homosexual Republicans. 
LIAR!" answer the Founding Fathers, such as Samuel Adams, pointing (below) at the proof in the Massachusetts Constitution which he helped write.

The Supreme Law of Massachusetts -- the Constitution which Mitt Romney solemnly swore to uphold, "So help me, God" -- contains the quintessence of the American form of government:

"[T]he people...are not controllable by any other laws than those to which their constitutional representative body have given their consent." (Part the First, Article X.)

"The power of suspending the laws, or the execution of the laws, ought never to be exercised but by the legislature...." (Part the First, Article XX.)

"The judicial shall never exercise the legislative and executive powers, or either of them: to the end it may be a government of laws and not of men." (Part the First, Article XXX.)

"All the laws which have heretofore been adopted, used and approved...shall still remain and be in full force, until altered or repealed by the legislature...." (Part the Second, Article VI.)

(CONTINUED BELOW)

 
A newly "pro-life" Romney signed in a government-run "universal" healthcare plan endorsed by Ted Kennedy, Hillary Clinton and Planned Parenthood. It subsidizes the killing of babies in the womb (only $50 each).

2. After his stage-managed pro-life "conversion" Romney's signature healthcare plan established abortion as a taxpayer-subsidized "healthcare benefit" -- for a mere $50 co-payment. He also created a permanent, official government role for an unelected Planned Parenthood representative on his healthcare board (no pro-life appointee). Again, this was AFTER his Hollywood-produced pro-life "conversion."

 3. Fulfilling other confidential campaign promises to Massachusetts' powerful homosexual bloc, Romney increased government subsidies for pro-homosexuality propaganda starting in kindergarten.  For his entire four years Romney conspicuously refused to enforce the parents' rights law meant to help parents protect their children against such indoctrination.

When running for the U. S. Senate in 1994, Romney had promised in a letter to the "Log Cabin" homosexuals to be more pro-gay than Ted Kennedy. As a Republican (and a Mormon), he winked at them, he could get away with more than a Democrat could. They got the message and glowingly endorsed him in both 1994 and 2002.   (CONTINUED BELOW)

4. Even the remanufactured "conservative" Romney opposes a ban on homosexual boy scoutmasters and supports sexual orientation laws that would force private businesses and religious institutions to, for example, hire cross-dressers and transvestites or face criminal fines and punishment. 

5. Romney cited a non-existent "law" to force Catholic Charities' adoption and foster care agency, to give children to homosexuals even when normal mother-father families were lined up to give them a real family. Even liberal former governor Democrat Mike Dukakis pointed out that this "law" Romney used was not a "law," but merely an executive regulation that a governor can cancel with a stroke of his pen.   (CONTINUED BELOW)

6. Romney's "conservative" mercenaries also market him as a "fiscal conservative." Yet his "signature" achievement as governor, his government-run "universal" healthcare plan was endorsed by Ted Kennedy, Hillary Clinton, and Planned Parenthood.  It has been an economic catastrophe according to the Wall St. Journal, Boston Globe, and Cato Institute. (CONTINUED BELOW)

OH,THE UTOPIAN GLORIES OF SOVIET HEALTH CARE! Romney's government-run "universal" healthcare plan -- endorsed by Ted Kennedy, Hillary Clinton and Planned Parenthood -- has been an economic catastrophe according to the Wall St. Journal, the Boston Globe and the Cato Institute. Formerly conservative voices like the Heritage Foundation and the National Review accepted Romney cash and helped him whitewash it as 'conservative.'

8. Romney increased taxes and fees by over $800 million which have since devastated the Massachusetts economy. He opposed the Bush Tax Cuts -- earning him praise from uber-liberal Barney Frank.

9. Romney lies without apparent shame, and has boasted falsely of "seeing his father march with Martin Luther King," of being a "life-long hunter," of having earned the "National Rifle Association's endorsement," always "being for life," ad infinitum. All lies.

10. Romney supported McCain-Feingold "campaign finance reform" laws which shamelessly outlaw political speech -- an unalienable right guaranteed under our state and federal constitutions for which countless of our young soldiers and sailors have died.

11. Romney backed the McCain-Kennedy plan to give amnesty to illegal aliens (disguised under the label "comprehensive immigration reform") and backed parts of eco-extremist McCain-Lieberman "carbon cap and trade" bill.

The ambitious and greedy GOP elites have ruthlessly covered up Romney's actions. They claim he's a fiscal and social conservative who would help McCain shore up support among both social conservatives and "pocket book conservatives." But McCain would be selecting a Republican Barack Obama who, as Founding Father of sodomy-based "marriage" and $50 dollar taxpayer-funded abortions, has accomplished what radical Democrats dream of accomplishing.

The charade required to successfully portray Romney as a conservative who resisted homosexual "marriage," opposed giving parent-less children to homosexuals and opposed $50 abortions involved a massive media campaign of bare-faced lying. That the "conservative" elites took the lead in this Marxist-style subversion of a state constitution and in enabling government funding of industrial scale abortion is a frightening indication of why America is slipping into tyranny. Romney's subversion of the oldest functioning constitution in the world -- and California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's (similarly illegal) copy-catting -- mark the end of the rule of law in America on the issues that ultimately define any society.

Senior homosexual activists and many Democrat strategists understand that the consequences will be sweeping: the end of freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of association and parents' rights, as already evident in Canada and much of Europe. 

As Justice Antonin Scalia warned of the Lawrence v. Texas opinion in which a United States Supreme Court majority mocked the American people and the Founding Fathers by pretending to have the constitutional authority and power to "strike down" the anti-sodomy laws of states, "this could be the one that swallows the rule of law."

Indeed. It is still swallowing. 

Lawrence invited Goodridge. Goodridge invited the anti-constitutional and legally void California opinion that Schwarzenegger in turn has used as a justification for trashing the constitution he swore to defend and uphold. And long before the swallowing is done, it will be too late to reverse it.

"Citizens, please return to your shopping. All is under control."

This is what we earthlings obediently call "conservatism" today.
