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.

“- - - he’s the darling of the GOP establishment.”
That pretty much nails it.
Establishment, aka “The Swamp”.
Now I know you are another liberal mental midget. Where did you go to school?
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.
Are you talking to me or the author of the article? The article is from 2011.
Immigration is the issue he’s most wrong on.
Mitt Romney. Undocumented Democrat.
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?
