What exactly is so RINO ish about Romney?
He's been more fiscally conservative in the deepest blue state, with a legislature that's more then 2/3rds the opposing party, then a lot of Red State Governors, and he's conservative on virtually every social issue as well.
The only thing you can really point to, is that he said 'As Governor, I will support a woman's right to chose' which essentially just said 'Yah, it's a completely lost cause in my state, and it's a federal issue mostly anyway, so I'm not even going to bother tipping at windmills.'
Which, in my book anyway, isn't RINOish as much as it is just smart.
Romney isn't my first choice for President, although he's looking better and better, but he'd be a fine VP pick, and I certainly wouldn't mind him being President.
He's a gun grabber, for one thing. And his unnecessary use of the phrase "woman's right to choose" (normal people don't talk that way) shows not only that he doesn't want to fight that battle, but that he has completely accepted the abortion lobby's ideology that abortion is a "right".
Also, though he's nominally opposed to same-sex marriage, he's in favor of "civil unions", which for amounts to the same thing for all intents and purposes, and which in fact will just be a gateway to the exact same thing formally.
I voted for Mitt, probably will again, but he is not confrontationalist enough. He need to breath fire, so what if he pisses off a few voters, he would pick up more.
He seems to moving to the left for his reelection bid, the death of Republicans in Mass. If all of the hot button issues of the last 40 years had been put on the ballot, how many would have passed? Mitt is making the same mistakes that Republicans in this state have made since Volpe the cycle continues.
Which just shows what a RINO you are. We already have plenty of politicians from Massachusetts who sold their souls to Satan over the abortion issue. Most of them are Democrats. And the Dems are more than welcome to the rest of them.
I still find it amazing we're supposed to attack Romney on every thread for being a closet pro-lifer and trying to extend an olive branch to the pro-life crowd, but sweep Condi's openly pro-abortion position under the rug on every one of her threads. It's like how the "gay rights" crowd in Massacuttes spews the most vile hatred against Romney but some freepers insist he's a puppet who does their bidding.
FYI, Romney is the MOST conservative governor Massacuttes has had in decades (even though the previous THREE Governors of Mass. were "Republican") and it's amazing he got elected in that commie state. He's certainly better than Ahnuld who got elected in "more conservative" California (do see Ahnuld claiming to be personally pro-life, publically working to block "gay marrage" in San Francisco, or fighting with envirowackos?) I won't vote for Romney in the primary because they are better candidates, but I have problem voting for him in the general election against a socialist Dim. And I say this as someone who personally dislikes and distrusts Mormonism.
