Those who believe the former Massachusetts governor would become a moderate once in office are wrong.
...conservatives aren't thrilled with Romney, even as they prepare to support him. But they aren't objecting to a marriage of convenience. Grover Norquist, founder of the anti-tax Americans for Tax Reform, explained Romney's acceptability in his speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference in February. "We just need a president who can sign the legislation that the Republican House and Senate pass," he said.
Romney's agenda mirrors that of House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, the Ayn Rand acolyte and anti-tax crusader from Wisconsin who, over the past two years, has crafted the blueprint for Republican domestic policy. "As president," Romney has said, "I look forward to working with Chairman Ryan and his House Republican colleagues to pass bold reforms that restore America's promise."
On the tax side, Romney promises a litany of tax reductions, beginning with a permanent extension of the George W. Bush tax cuts.

Oh, boy, we should be really afraid of a Romney presidency -- better to stay home and let Obama win... (/sarcasm)
I initially posted the link to the first page of the article, here is the link to the entire article on one page.
Quite entertaining.
http://prospect.org/article/mitt-romney-servant-right
Romney, timid backstabber, cannot beat Obama.
WHICH IS WHY THE MSM and DNC LOVE Milt.
Also from the article:
“The Mitt Romney of today has been more than clear about his goals. He wants low taxes, smaller government, a weaker safety net, and a larger military.”
Scary! (/sarc)
Anyone who believes that Romney is - or could be - a servant of the right after his performance in Massachusetts is sufficiently ignorant to be ignored.
Pertinent point “the Romney of today”, who will be the Romney of tomorrow?
I mean we already know the Romney of yesterday - liberal.
I posted this article, but only put it into the “Elections” category.
I DID NOT PUT IT INTO BREAKING NEWS.
I asked the AM to please remove it from Breaking News.
Just like he did in Massachusetts...
Severely conservative and because of it he just can't help himself.
Laughable. I have had people try this one me. You can just shoot them down in about 1 minute by mentioning the fact Romney is a former governor of MA (a well known hotbed of extremist right wingers) and the fact the TEA Party folks hate Mittens.
What this article shows is the pretzels Obama voters will twist themselves into justifying a vote for Barry. The dedicated Obama voters are beyond serious debate. Nothing you can say will change their minds because anyone seriously considering voting for obama with his record as POTUS is delusional
It’s really curious that Romney is hated just as much by some folks here as he is over at DUmmieLand.

If we could just get Hillary to challenge Mitt at the Republocrat Convention!
ABO Guys!
/s
What I think is the GOP can’t just say they aren’t going to run a candidate against Obama so, they pick someone the voters will hate.
If you don’t want to vote for Romney Fine. But get your butt to the polls because there are a lot of conservatives that we need to vote for.
If you don’t want to vote for Romney Fine. But get your butt to the polls because there are a lot of conservatives that we need to vote for. BTW I am a Geologist also..

You didn’t get it, did you?
I found it amusing that the left is so desperate they are trying to paint Romney as a far right-winger.
They must be terrified that most people, including moderate Dems will find Romney moderate enough, while finding Obama extreme leftist, that they will actually vote for Romney and Obama gets defeated.
This is what everyone should keep in mind: Romney is a middle-of-the-roader, while Obama is a far-leftist, intent on destroying the US as we know it. Obama is working hard on income redistribution, and total government control over individuals, which IS communism, even though he doesn’t call it that. When it walks like a duck and all that.
“They must be terrified that most people, including moderate Dems will find Romney moderate enough, while finding Obama extreme leftist, that they will actually vote for Romney and Obama gets defeated.”
That about sums it up. There is one moderate in the race and it is Mittems. That that fact will get out terrifies the dims. What also has the dems worried is Romney’s 87% approval rating among GOP voters which shows only the fringe contrarians are planning on sitting this one out.
Getting the kenyan out of the White House is all that matters right now and nearly everyone sees that.
What? Your account is still active? Heavens to Murgatroyd. Seize him! & etc. /s/
Romney is not even conservative enough to be called a moderate. I judge these people based on their records.
“It’s really curious that Romney is hated just as much by some folks here as he is over at DUmmieLand.”
Not really, given that he has espoused both sides of so many issues.
Mitt Romney wins much coveted Jimmy Carter endorsement
Gore Praises Romney's 'Climate Protection Plan'
Carville(D):
"It's a feel-good story, this Romney thing.
Romney is an ascendant guy."
Sen. John Kerry (D) to Don Imus on RomneyCARE:
"I like this health care bill".
Sen. Hillary Clinton (D) on RomneyCARE:
"To come up with a bipartisan plan in this polarized environment is commendable."
George Soros Wants Mitt Romney
“Too far to the right”. Tax reductions. Bush tax cuts. The extremism! Oh, no!/s
When it comes to Mitt Romney, three principles need to be kept in mind: 1) Mitt Romney will say anything to get elected, 2) if you’re inclined to believe what he says, remember principle #1, and 3) actions speak louder than words.
Needs to be repeated and often.
We need a repeat of 2010 in the House and Senate. It gives new meaning to the term *house cleaning*.
I think the article is directed at the Romney democrats.
Same here. No Romney. No Obama.
Romney is playing NOT TO LOSE. Football or Politics, playing NOT TO LOSE rarely produces a victory.
BTW, McCain played NOT TO LOSE in 2008. Nuff said.
It is a false assumption that Romney will beat Obama.
Romney is playing NOT TO LOSE.
Football or Politics, playing NOT TO LOSE rarely produces a victory.
It is time to DUMP ROMNEY, as he is clueless on how to beat Obama.
BTW, McCain played NOT TO LOSE in 2008. Nuff said.
In favor of whom?
DUMP ROMNEY and replace him with a stellar Dark Horse.
IF Romney is probably going to lose to Obama, THEN it is incumbent upon the RNC to intervene and declare an OPEN Convention, regardless of the Primary delegates that Romney has.
Continued accumulation of Primary delegates in the remaining State Primaries is the key to improving Paul’s chances of forcing the GOP-E to hold an OPEN Convention in Tampa.
Paul will then have completed his main task in this Primary: giving the delegates the freedom to DUMP ROMNEY!
My goal is to defeat the insanity of Keyensian Economics in “both” of our very sorry political parties THIS YEAR!
This can be accomplished by the Delegates choosing a stellar Dark Horse Nominee, such as R-Rep. West of Florida, to slaughter Obama in a November Landslide.
It is not enough to beat Obama, he must be smashed in a huge landslide to repudiate his Marxist ideas for America!
Romney is not Warrior enough to do so.
The key is to FORCE the GOP-E to allow for an OPEN Convention in Tampa. Without an OPEN Convention the SOS of INSANE Federal Over-Spending will keep America on the same crowded track with Greece, and Kalifornia.
There are over 15, 000, 000, 000, 000 reasons why spending more money this year than was taken in during the previous year is an INSANE path to financial destruction.
Neither Obama or Romney have presented a plan to spend our Federal dollars in a non-insane manner.
For example, the GOP Elite have stood in line to endorse Romney, to endorse “The Ryan Budget,” and to compromise-away every opportunity to reduce Federal Spending.
I included the Ryan Budget, because Rep. Paul Ryan himself says that his “Budget” will balance in 30 YEARS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BTW, I added those exclamation points, because both you and I know that Ryan’s budget will NEVER balance, and thus will never be a fact. The exclamation points are just for volume emphasis.
When you think Grover represents conservatives, that might be your first clue you’re talking out your @$$.
WHICH IS WHY THE MSM and DNC LOVE Milt.
butttt he EVOLVED!
“Mitt Romney, Servant of the Right”. If only he truly was(sigh).
BTTT

______________________
The main point of my post is as follows: In order to DUMP ROMNEY there must be an OPEN, or “Bartered” Convention.
Ron Paul, Santorum and Newt are our best hopes to achieve an OPEN Convention because they have the most Delegates to force the Romney Delegates to approve of an OPEN Convention.
Since RP is the only active Candidate left standing, he has the best chance of forcing the RNC to have an OPEN Convention in Tampa.
With an OPEN Convention, NONE of the Primary Candidates stand a chance of becoming the Nominee, except Romney.
That possibility must be countered by a stellar Dark Horse, that is someone that has not run in this years Primary Campaign.
Otherwise Romney will follow the same stupid path as McCain and lose to Obama “much to the surprise of the GOP-E.”
Ron Paul, Santorum and Newt were rejected by Primary voters, and would be re-soundly rejected by the voters in the National Election. Thus, their main value is to force an OPEN Convention.
The Convention Delegates then would have a chance to choose a Nominee who could easily defeat Obama.
I had earlier supported R-Sc Sen. Jim DeMint, but he will not leave the Senate. Now I support R-Fla. Rep. Allen West. Rep. Allen West is a retired US Army Colonel, straight-talking Conservative, AND is the only non-welcome member of the Congressional Black Caucus, (the Libs hate him).
There are many other Republican non-RINO Dark Horses who would make excellent Dark Horse Nominees.
The DUMP ROMNEY Campaign requires an OPEN or “Bartered” Convention in Tampa.
Make your voice and vote count towards an OPEN Convention in Tampa, Florida!
BTW, Nominee Allen West WOULD be Florida’s favorite son in November - - - .
