I admitted no such thing, and have no way of knowing who is a conservative at their core. All politicians parse their words and don't always reveal all their personal beliefs. All a voter can do is decide how they think a candidate will govern, and the past is not always prologue.
And, there are still issues which Sarah has not spelled out any specific policy for.
Tonight’s Sean Hannity program heard it from her own two lips.
Down to silly name calling now, huh?
Key Romney quote on his signature Massachusetts government health care plan:
“It’s working like we had hoped it would work."
Also from the article:
"Romney said the same can be done nationwide..."
"He did insist, however, that on a national level politicians ought to be able to create a system where every citizen has health insurance."
Please cease and desist apologizing for RINOs and their acts of treachery.
There's an awful lot to ignore:
Instituted gay marriage, contrary to his sworn oath as Governor to uphold the constitution.
Completely homosexualized state government and the public schools, fulfilling his promises to the radical gay activists who endorsed and supported him for Governor.
Promoted and passed socialized medicine, complete with taxpayer-funded abortions.
Signed a permanent "assault" weapons ban, while issuing statements that could have come out of the mouth of any of the Democrat party's worst enemies of the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.
And that's just for starters.
Romney was the most liberal Governor in the history of this republic.
Yeah, not surprising. Thanks.
So what’s the next post Gov Palin can’t win, she is just not ready or all the other things MR worshipers say.
You are following the pattern good job....
After the Gov Palin can’t win, there’s one more....just waiting.
Then the real insults................A+ good effort.
Someone needs to send this to Ann Coulter, she clearly didn’t see this and in her defense of him on Hannity tonight stated that the only thing she wanted to hear was him to walk back his MA-Care program and admit it was a mistake.... why are all these people so darned uninformed when they go on national TV?
How convenient.
So, pray tell, then, what record should we use to judge Romney by? Or should we just unquestioningly believe whatever he says, like good little sheeple?
And how critical will that event be in 2012? Like all politicians, he's defending a past policy.
What grade do you think W would give No Child Left Behind, and his Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit? Did you support those big spending programs which are helping to bankrupt the USA?
Voters have to decide how they believe a candidate would govern in the future, and all this hand wringing over past policies is mostly a waste of time.
She sold out to the Slick One early on, it’s too bad. She’s thoroughly destroyed her reputation and credibility by becoming just like those Bubba Clintoon kneepadder types she used to make fun of.
I was for him before I was against him. Romneycare did me in. Pawlenty has Cap and trade Romney has Romneycare and that both outlawed smoking.
Not near as silly as your idol claiming to be a Conservative with a straight face. But you’ll keep on trolling, won’t ya ?
He's defending a bad policy.
He's defending a decidedly non-conservative policy.
He's defending an appendage of Big Government that he himself was at the forefront of creating.
I don't care whether a policy is past, present, or future. If it's bad, i.e., not in line with conservative principles of small and limited Constitutional government, and you defend it, I will attack you.
Good grief. This thread is full of trolls.

Evaluate policy positions of candidates as they run for an office, decide how you think they'd govern.
You would have been sliming Reagan in the early '70s based on his record as governor of California. Candidates change from state to national campaigns. Records in states often don't mean that much when a candidate jumps to a national campaign:
Regan and all his liberal policies in California mentioned in the Laffer interview.
Pro-life and pro-gun Bill Clinton in Arkansas.
Pro-life and pro-gun Algore in Tennessee.
Pro-life and anti-voodoo economics GHWB in the 1980 Republican primary.
Quite a few of you need to stop living in the fantasy world where politicians maintain the same philosophies and policy positions throughout long political careers. It seldom happens.
I know ! I tried pinging JR and the AMs, but they haven’t arrived yet. Every post of R.I.’s you can smell the ozone.
Your posts are a real “laffer.”
