This is the Obama victory strategy: paint Romney as too far to the right for the general electorate, and paint him as too far to the left to conservatives, so we will end up with Obama, who will destroy the US as we know it, since he doesn't have to worry about reelection in his 2nd term.
Oh, boy, we should be really afraid of a Romney presidency -- better to stay home and let Obama win... (/sarcasm)

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.
To: Innovative
Those who believe the former Massachusetts governor would become a moderate more left once in office are wrong right, because he already is a liberal so it wont be a stretch.

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.

Instead of expanding the government, he declared, I will shrink it. Instead of raising taxes, I will cut them. Instead of adding regulations, I will scale them back. Just like he did in Massachusetts...
Severely conservative and because of it he just can't help himself.

"
As U.S. real output grew 13 percent between 2002 and 2006, Massachusetts trailed at 9 percent.
* Manufacturing employment fell 7 percent nationwide those years, but sank 14 percent under Romney, placing Massachusetts 48th among the states.
* Between fall 2003 and autumn 2006, U.S. job growth averaged 5.4 percent, nearly three times Massachusetts' anemic 1.9 percent pace.
* While 8 million Americans over age 16 found work between 2002 and 2006, the number of employed Massachusetts residents actually declined by 8,500 during those years.
"Massachusetts was the only state to have failed to post any gain in its pool of employed residents," professors Sum and McLaughlin concluded.
In an April 2003 meeting with the Massachusetts congressional delegation in Washington, Romney failed to endorse President Bush's $726 billion tax-cut proposal." [Cato Institute annual Fiscal Policy Report Card - America's Governors, 2004.]

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.
To: Innovative
Doesn't matter what anyone says at this point. I won't vote for a pro-abortion, anti-gun, big-government liberal. And that includes Romney.

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.
