While Thompson and Romney are both better than Giuliani, reasonable people can conclude that Romney is actually better than Thompson because:
they have identical positions on abortion,
but Romney is stronger on immigration and
Romney agrees with the GOP platform on tort reform while Fred does not and
Romney has superior executive experience, proven organizational skills, a proven record of fiscal conservatism, and he provides a REAL change in Washington with no past alliances with McCain and his Gang.
Reasonable conservative minds can differ. Like you said, nobody is perfect and nobody is holier than thou around here.
Other than the fact that Romney tried to run to the left of Ted Kennedy on abortion back in 1994, and ran on a pro-choice platform in 2002 as well.

Yep, Romney is in favor of limited government unless it limits what Romney wants government to do. Witness Romneycare.
It's dishonest statements like the above that cause people to not believe the whole Mitt Romney is pro-life claim.
