(Flashback) Mitt Romney: A Liberal's Liberal Republican
Americanthinker.com ^ | 7/23/11 | Zbigniew Mazurak

The most prominent candidate for the GOP nomination is former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. He's a prolific fundraiser and enjoys widespread name recognition, and he's the darling of the GOP establishment. George Will lists him as one of the few serious presidential candidates.

But should Romney be the GOP's presidential nominee? The answer is "absolutely not."

Although there is no "perfect conservative," and although conservatives have serious issues with every candidate running, Mitt Romney is nothing more than a strident liberal masquerading as a moderate. As Selwyn Duke rightly wrote in 2007, Romney is the Barack Obama of the GOP. Every Republican has made his share of mistakes, but Romney is a committed liberal on the whole spectrum of issues.

Conservatives know that Romney was pro-abortion for a long time before he first ran for the presidency in 2007, at which time he "changed his position" because he was now asking for the votes of conservatives. Romney has also supported "gay rights," and as Massachusetts governor, he implemented same-sex marriage by executive fiat.

Romney has always been a terrible choice but liberal news media is not as effective in promoting bad Republican primary choices as they use to be.

Mitt is running to hand the seat to the Democrat and pick up a pay check from the DNC.

Ugh, it was so hard voting for that liberal A-Hole in 2012. And what in-fighting we had here at FR over him.

JUST GO AWAY, MITT!

Romney ushered in Obama-care Light as Massachusetts governor.

Just another Swamp Creature.

“- - - he’s the darling of the GOP establishment.”

That pretty much nails it.

Establishment, aka “The Swamp”.

I donated both my time, hard work and money to this prick in 2012, and I thank the Living God, every day since November 8, 2016 that obummer won and this whiny, limp-dick went down the tubes.

As a citizen of Utah, I see no difference between Mitt and most democrats. In fact, he is to the left of several that I know of. I will have to see who they run against him. I may actually do something I have never done before, vote for a democrat. Is there any way a conservative could get elected in Mass?
