It is a bit silly to call those who want to defeat Obama with the GOP nominee “socialists” or socialist enablers.

Because some people apparently can tell Jim Rob “FU” which seems refreshing to have such freedom, I will take the liberty of expressing my opinion.

I get the distrust and dislike of Romney, which comes from his record as Mass. governor. He either is or was a liberal, or he did whatever it took to get elected in the most liberal state. That is not a record to impress conservatives.

He did oppose the dem legislature a lot and he was more conservative than a dem there but still he was way too liberal for us as governor. Pro abortion, Romneycare, etc.

However, the scary part of the Romney hatred here is pretending that Romney has not been pushing a conservative platform in this election, and that he ran to the right of McCain last time, as well.

If you listen to any Romney speech, it is a conservative speech front to back. It is a speech no one on FR can dislike IF you read only the speech and I tell you Gingrich or Reagan gave it.

So then it comes down to that Romney is a liar. All politicians are liars. Romney has shown himself to be a chameleon.

But this is where the Romney haters leave me behind: Their conviction that he is 100% liberal, that despite everything he is running on, he will run as a conservative, get in office and support Obamacare, abortion, etc.

There does come a point where you have to read the candidates’ positions, and to do so and then reach the conclusion that Romney’s policies would match Obama’s is far fetched at best.

You don’t have to like him, you don’t have to trust him, don’t have to vote for him but yes, Barack Hussein Obama is worse. And the platform of a major party candidate means something (as does his record).

You must have missed the Etch-A-Sketch reset comment from his campaign staffer.

“Romney has not been pushing a conservative platform in this election”

Romney is a known liar and will say whatever it takes for Republicans to vote for him. Appearantly his words work on you.

You, my friend, are listening to Romney's rhetoric, and not looking at his deeds. You have to screw your eyes shut and place his promises above what his record shows, to enable yourself to go blindly forth in willing glee.

Your post is nearly laughable, because it pretends as though the facts about this man have never been seen or discussed at length here. You've managed to somehow bamboozle yourself, but you're going to have a hard time convincing others, unless they decide to follow you down the path of self-deception.

Romney has a record. Look at it. Consider it well, then ask yourself if you can willingly help such a man to win the presidency.
