That's a good way to put it. The candidate I've seen on TV, in the debates and in his primary victory speeches--that guy is pretty good: pro-private sector; pro-Keystone pipeline; pro-military; pro-SC justices like Roberts, Alito, Scalia, and Thomas; anti-Obamacare; anti-Roe v. Wade; anti-homosexual "marriage"; anti-illegal immigration; etc.
But the thing is, I don't know if that's the REAL Romney. I don't even know if there IS a "real Romney." Or is he just "Omni-Romney," "Sketch" Romney, the Man of a Thousand Faces? This has been my heistancy with him all along, that, plus the lack of a strong alternative candidate. But it is almost certain now that he will be the nominee, and I don't see how he could be anywhere near as bad as Obama. And he won't have an 85% Democrat legislature to deal with, either.
Unless the conservative primary candidate Romney switches course on Obamacare, abortion, or homo marriage between now and November, I will vote for him over Obamao, vote for conservatives in Congress, and then hope for the best.
Obamacare, abortion, and homosexual marriage are the legacy of Mitt Romney. They represent everything Romney has done in MA.
I supported Mitt Romney in the 2008 primary against McCain. I was originally a Fredhead but decided Romney would be better than McCain. I voted McCain against Obama.
Since then I have learned about Romney PERSONALLY forcing Catholic hospitals to commit what they believe to be murder through the administration of the morning-after pill. He says it’s OK because it is the state and not the feds who are establishing a government religion and forcing people to obey it. Which fits right in with the way the Islamists have always tried to take over a nation: local areas first and then spreading to the whole. Romney may have the best of intentions, but even his good intentions will land us the same place as Obama is taking us. And that is with a sharia government.
I REALLY don’t want to have to choose between a slow, good-intentioned death and a fast, deliberately evil death to this country. I’m not even willing to think about that being the choice I’m eventually forced into making. At this point we have to do everything in our power to make sure that we have a different option. We just have to.
I’m not sure how that can happen but I’m pretty sure it needs to happen by people making sure they vote in the PRIMARY as if it was a primary and not the general election. As long as we get a candidate who is not totally disgusting we can run the “Anybody But Obama” campaign in the general. What I can say is that for me and a lot of other people, Romney is disgusting. For me it’s because he is the candidate who will bring well-intentioned sharia. For others Rick Santorum is the disgusting candidate, because he’s perceived as a smug Pope - which people perceive as Christian sharia.
Right now the nominee that makes the most sense to me is Gingrich. Gingrich/Cain. For a variety of reasons.
