Hyde, is that you?
Mormons will vote for Romney en masse, I fear Romney will win pluralities in every primary, and end up the nominee again.
Your opportunity has already come and gone.
Who ever gets the nod after Obama no place to go but up.
Those who voted for him in 2012 who are surprised by that, are only surprised because they failed to do their due diligence. Romney made it pretty clear even back in 2007 that he bought into the global warming claptrap hook, line, and sinker.
Amen — BUMP.
He will not get my vote this time. I’ll stay home
"Mitt Romney Credits Jonathan Gruber For "Econometric Model””It can be OK to be wrong about something. Look, in 1948 Ronald Reagan was wrong about everything. You can see on YouTube that he was inveighing against Republicans as a flat-out liberal Democrat.What’s the difference between Romney and Reagan? Reagan had his “Road to Damascus.” The time Reagan spent as a paid spokesman for GE put him on the spot to actually learn - and he did. By 1964 he came out publicly for Goldwater, in his famous “the speech.”
Mitt Romney has been a liberal, possibly even as liberal as Reagan was in ’48 - but although he now claims the mantle of “conservatism,” he has never completely divorced himself from liberalism.As his “severe conservative” comment illustrates, his conservatism is barely skin deep. What real conservative thinks that conservatism is “severe?” No mistake - and no sign of “extremism” - that conservatives don’t recognize Romney as one of their own. He ain’t.
jBTW I love your handle; American “conservatism” is a strange duck. Conserving freedom means conserving the ability to change.
Thanks! Yours is good too.
American “conservatism” is a strange duck. Conserving freedom means conserving the ability to change.
That, and "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" - freedom is a foundation American value, and if American conservatism means anything it means conserving foundation American values.
