He needs to assure voters that he supports conservative fiscal ideals.
Present day words can be false and past deeds exhibit real intent as nobody knows what the future may hold.
His past words and deeds prove that no present day words or deeds of his can ever separate him from them.

While your heart may be in the right place you exhibit little more than wishful thinking in my book.

wishful thinking in my book.

You know, I will admit to that to some extent. It is wishful thinking on my part to think that Romney will govern as conservatively as his primary rhetoric. But that's about all I've got at this point. There's no other candidate who can beat Obama.

To quote a television series: "I want to believe." I want to believe that Romney will keep some of his current promises, even if only because he is something of a chameleon and that might be advantageous to him. There's a very good chance I will be disappointed, I admit it, but then that has happened with every president in my life. I just don't know how badly I will be disappointed, and there's no way at this point anyone can predict with certainty what Romney will do or be able to do. Obama--we know what he will do.

But the thing about this wishful thinking of mine is that some of it might actually come true. I think there's a real possibility that Romney may govern more conservatively than he did in Massachusetts, for a number of reasons. And I think it's a virtual certainty that he will govern more conservatively than Obamao.

Then vote for Obama or stay home.

Because that’s your choice.

I find it ridiculous that I value people who are true ... yet I find myself hoping that Romney will be the POLITICIAN.

I want him to betray what he has done in the past in order to promise four years of NOT OBAMA.
