Pretty much every election both Republicans and Democrats run to the edges during the primary and return toward the middle to pick up General Election moderates. Is this really shocking to anyone?
Did Reagan do this?
er what conservative positions does he have and what has he done to be more precise.
The man is a fraud who told us the base to piss off, his pro cross dressing, pro govt health care, pro homosexual agenda etc positions are NOT CONSERVATIVE HELL THEY’RE NOT EVEN REPUBLICAN so a vote for him is like voting for a whiter obama .
Any fool and there seems to be many up north in IL etc are frigging ignorant idiots to what is being a republican let alone conservative
...except in this case Mitt ran to the middle during the primary and will run back to the left for the general.
But that is a question of emphasis. And no campaign guy is stupid enough to actually suggest that the candidate will be erased and re-painted.
Romney should fire the guy today. He probably won’t. Will this be enough to be the spark that wakes up the conservatives to rally behind either Santorum or Gingrich?
Yeah, I’d kind of like someone with core principles, magritte, that sticks with what they say. Kind of like: Ronald Reagan.
It’s a loser strategy for someone who is already alienating his partys own base.
What is the “middle” for Mass. Mittens?
Yeah, lying and deceiving voters matters. Our political system is dying from elitist lies, disloyality and dishonor.
The biggest difference between Romney and Clinton is Clinton was a better liar
About Romney it should be shocking. Of all candidates, Romney SHOULD not go to the middle because he is a supposed "conservative convert" from liberalism. Any move on Romney's part to the left is simply Romney moving back to his familiar soil.
This is exactly, by the way, what Romney did after the 2008 primary. "Convert" Romney was endorsing gay unions within months of McCain losing the election.
The bottom line is that Romney is a liar.
I will not support him for any reason. In fact, I will work to defeat him with a 3rd candidate. My hopes would be twofold: (1) To recreate the Republican party, or (2) to build a real, conservative alternative party.
“Pretty much every election both Republicans and Democrats run to the edges during the primary and return toward the middle to pick up General Election moderates. Is this really shocking to anyone?”
The difference is the Democrats really are liberals (and govern as such), while the faux conservatives like Romney really are liberals (and govern as such).
I’ve said it before, and say it again: I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR ROMNEY.
