"I wasn't a Ronald Reagan conservative."
(Mitt Romney In Interview with Marc Ambinder,
"Romney Explains Himself," National Journal, 2/9/07)
"I'm very clear I think, to the people across the Commonwealth -
my "R" didn't stand so much for Republican as it does for reform."
(Romney Video, accessed 9/19/07)
"I'm not running as the Republican view or a continuation of Republican values.
That's not what brings me to the race."
(Romney Video, accessed 9/19/07)
Myth Romney: "You will embrace this attack on Gov. Palin
and her little children using Jindal's, McCain's and Huckabee's names
like our attacks on McCain and Thompson using Huckabee's name.
Support it, from our lands and sanctuary mansion in
the north using the fake law enforcement badges we fabricated.
I will gain GOP favor by condemning it and
ordering it opposed from our lands in the south, in the Hive, and with Fox News and the MSM. Whichever way
the tide runs, we will rise."
The "not trying to return to Reagan/Bush" was in direct response to a debate question which asked if his proposed budget with lower taxes would result in big deficits like occurred under President Reagan.
Can you please toss your hatred of Romney.... especially in light of the drubbing of McCain....
Whatever your feelings about Romney, at least he is articulate and proud to be a Republican and promotes the conservative philosophy in a way which makes sense.
No offense, but it was people like yourself who rejected a good candidate (not saying Romney is the perfect conservative) all for the sake of some dogma which ultimately ends up driving good people out of the GOP.
Heck, if you can accept John McCain who never met a Democratic liberal idea he didn't like, then it makes absolutely no sense on why you can't accept Mitt Romney.
