The TRUE CONSERVATIVES are proofers demanding
Constitutional proof from the apparent Impostor.

Compare and Contrast:

Chihuahua Romney - the Self-Declared King of Tea-Party:
”My lawyers say Obama was born in the United States,
and that Obama doesn’t need a Birth Certificate (like me!!!!!), and that
all citizenship tests have been passed by Obama.".


"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party
 over to the traitors in the battle just ended.
We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged
 to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support.
Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates
wouldn't make any sense at all.""

--  President Ronald Reagan

YOUR GRAPHS ARE OBVIOUSLY FABRICATED.

For example,
Milt ROMNEY (RomneyCARE, RomneyMARRIAGE, RomneyBIGDIG,
RomneyDIRTYTRICKS, RomneyFAKEPOLLS) is hardly
a 'conservative'.

Heck, ROMNEY EVEN SAID SO.


Milt Romney in 2007

Romney - the Magic RINO:
"I'm not running as the Republican view
or a continuation of Republican values.
That's not what brings me to the race.

(Romney Video, accessed 9/19/07)

Pawlenty / West. The rest are just noise. Don’t let the MSM select our nominee like they did the last time.

I like the political quiz, as a guide. But its flaws are showing with Pawlenty and Palin on the exact same crossover point. I don't believe it.

Also Gary Johnson on the left side, is a bit strange. He left office with a huge surplus, I find it hard to believe he is left on economic issues.

why does anyone bother to read a PPP , a hard left Dem party push poll group for a fellow GOP haters at ABC ( All Barack Channel) and Wash Compost?

The fact that two Obama media groups hired a Dem party PUSH poll group tells me that Barry real poll figures are so awful that gallup can even hide how bad things are !

Even Tokyo Rove said PPP is pushing pure propaganda poll figures.
Folks its the PPP , its pure uncut BS.

Please explain to me how you see Tim Pawlenty conducting the brutal and sustained attack on Obama which is necessary to beat him?

Please cite all the attacks on Obama that Mr. Pawlenty has made in the past two years - especially those attacks from January 20, 2009 to January 19, 2010.

Call me after a candidate who "gets it" on immigration manages to get elected dogcatcher.

This is the single most reliable predictor of a candidate getting his ass kicked I have ever seen.

HOW IS THAT SO OBVIOUS TO SOMEONE THAT CLEARLY DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THEM?

Ummmm, NO! There is another, far better on every issue, who also gets it!

Hey Jim Noble, here is a guy who recently got elected to Congress. Does he qualify?

Yeah, he qualifies. The dogcatcher thing was stupid.

What is true is that nobody can or will win a statewide or national race by making immigration an issue. No candidate who conforms to what you mean by "gets it" is electable beyond the boundaries of a few (<20) Congressional districts.

According to this, Mitt Romney is more conservative than Palin or Bachmann? No way that’s correct....

Have you compared the data? Please show what is incorrect in the comparisons between the three.

The “data” on that site is qualitative. There is no way to quantitatively show the conclusions to be incorrect. I can just tell you though, as someone who lived in Massachusetts while Romney was governor, that while he was a lot better than most politicians up here, he’s no conservative.
