In that spirit, you obviously don't know much about how government works. Congress writes bills. Not the Governor or the President. If a liberal congress from Massachusetts sends Mittens liberal drivel, he'll usually sign it.
And yet when Bush was in charge, the GOP congress went along with every moderate thing he wanted except Amnesty.
The President is the head of his party, he sets the agenda, of course if the congress is truly conservative, they can force his hand.
Do you really believe Boehner, Cantor, et all are going to push him to the right?
Do you really believe a GOP-E that has absolutely covered up his record and provides the money for campaigns for the Congress members is going to all anything Tea-Party related to come to pass?
They just did everything in their power to make sure no conservative got elected.
Furthermore, he didn't sign those bills because he is weak, he signed those left-wing progressive bills because he is a Progressive Liberal at heart.

If the 2012 election is ANYTHING like the 2010 election,and we add to the conservatives that were elected then, we have a shot. If we don’t, then we are in some serious trouble. Since it looks like no one was able to knock Romney out I come back to my original statement; it is up to Congress to save us. IMHO that is the situation we are in and our only hope. So, I will be trying to help get conservatives elected in the House and Senate. And I will hold my nose and vote for Mittens, because the alternative is much worse.
