It isn’t just Romney. The Republican Party wears a Conservative mask.

[Ev Reeman]

Im hoping for a non RINO to emerge in the next three years such as Ryan, Sanford, Pawlenty etc. to lead conservatives to a presidential victory in 2012.

Here here.You sir are correrct.

Waitin’ for the Slick Willard shortbus/kneepad/zombie brigades to bitch and moan...

[Jagdgewehr]

Romney?

No thanks.

[Rocko]

No more RINOs, please. Just young Conservative blood, such as Palin and Jindal.

While reading up on Mormon traditional beliefs, I found that Mormons believe in a form of religiously-influenced socialist system. It seemed to me that they believe socialism is good if the foundations in the socialist system are also good.

This I think is why ideologically Romney sided with Obama when he took over GM.

I’m not a Mormon, and I don’t agree with them. That Massachusetts health care system Romney set up for them failed miserably.

Romney may have run the worst GOP primary campaign in the history of GOP campaigns. He may not be a conservative. And he may be an equity sector leveraged buy-out artist responsible for shipping skilled jobs overseas in exchange for retail jobs here. But he's got great hair, damn it. He's got great hair.

He comes out in favor of government-run economic stimulus:

“The best stimulus with the highest multiplier effect is one which gives money back to people rather than having government spend more, and so I think they got it wrong. It’s too much weighted toward spending, too little weighted toward tax reductions,”

---

Sheesh, what a liberal! Tax reductions!?!?!? The nerve of him! /sarcasm

And according to his intimate groupies, his collar matches the cuffs.

I was no McCain supporter in 2008, and I think I’d support Romney even less than I’d support McCain.

It is that kind of "holier than thou" attitude that gave us Obama.

We threw every republican who wasn't perfect out until we ended up with McCain. McCain (gang of fourteen, immigration, etc.),is a great guy but he can't win an election.

I have no brief for Romney right now but I do stand up for intellectual honesty. Read the quotations ascribed to Romney and read the reactions. It is as if the author jumped through the looking glass.

It's cheap and easy to call Romney a rino but for God's sake let's maintain standards on these threads so that conservatism commands respect rather than a snicker. This blogger is utterly pathetic. He certainly has lived up to his name.

What in those quotations implies that Romney is not a conservative? I’m baffled.

There have been some other recent slips, but I don’t seen any in the article above.

[angkor]

>>>>> “The best stimulus with the highest multiplier effect is one which gives money back to people” <<<<<

How is that a “government run economic stimulus?”

To dumb Romney’s statement down to the lowest possible common denominator, he said:

“I want tax cuts.”

[angkor]

>>>>>> is a great guy but he can’t win an election. <<<<<<

Really? I have finally and forever rejected the GOP due to McQueeg’s candidacy.

And he’s not a “great guy.”

In 2007 he tried to give 20 million criminal illegal aliens of unknown background and identity, new United States residency, identification, and legitimacy. And much worse.

That’s not “great.”

By the way, this week he’d been dissing “all God’s children” because they didn’t vote for him in 2008.

Truly a man of principle. /sarc

Conservatives do not believe in Stimulus, nor government regulations on the market-they merely want to the government to uphold contracts, and enforce property rights..

He’s a keynsian, IMO, deep down..

[big'ol_freeper]

Author hit that one right on the nail head. I, for one, knew all along that this guy is a phony and an extreme danger to the conservative movement.

[GLDNGUN]

I’m not big on Romney, but this article is pretty weak.
