I know Romney’s track record as governor of Massachusetts. And previous statements, etc., but all were some time ago. Ronald Reagan changed considerably over the course of his life time. He was a Democrat for many years. See here http://www.hark.com/clips/rxyrwnzwxr-for-many-years-i-was-a-democrat and here http://www.ronaldreagan.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9968
I certainly understand the distrust many on FR have of Romney but I believe he is truly more conservative than he was years ago. Lord willing, we will all find out how he governs as POTUS.
LOL, one could certainly argue that Willard was lying about believing in liberal things years ago - after all he was in Massachusetts back then and it was much more of a leftist constituency.
Romney will be whatever he has to in order to get elected and stay relevant in office. As a Republican he will sound "reasonably" conservative, and do whatever is necessary to win the election. If he thinks he has the necessary support to get conservative things done as President, he will. If he thinks he has to run to the middle and win over indies and moderate Democrats to get anything done, he will. The man is a chameleon. Hell, he may really be very conservative in his own mind, but he is willing to ditch that ideology on the alter of political expediency as necessary. Romney just wants to be President, and he will say and do almost anything necessary to get the job. Lots of politicians have ego's like that. Some turn out fairly okay, others are a disaster.
Still, I'd rather roll the dice with Willard than not do everything in my power to eject Hussein, a known radical left socialist, from the White House. Obama in office for the next 4 years will DEFINITELY be awful. Willard in office for the next 4 years MIGHT be awful. The later is a better gamble.
I’m with you, bro
Totally agree. ABO or lose our country. There was something very unsettling and creepy watching the video of obama in Colombia. The whole SS thing came across as very odd to me - something sinister about the whole episode.
