What is this love affair some of you folks have with RINO's? I don't get it...
This one issue:
Gun Control: According to his 2002 gubernatorial campaign, Romney "is a supporter of the federal assault weapons ban. Mitt also believes in the rights of those who hunt to responsibly own and use firearms."[102] July 1st, 2002 Mitt Romney signed a permanent ban on Assault Weapons. "Deadly assault weapons have no place in Massachusetts," Romney said, at a bill signing ceremony with legislators, sportsmen's groups and gun safety advocates. "These guns are not made for recreation or self-defense. They are instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people."
Shows the guy has NO CLUE about Constitutional issues, cares nothing for individual Rights, and with all his other baggage he HAS ZERO CHANCE of winning enough votes in Fly Over Country.
Same for Rudy and John.
Seriously... there ARE conservatives out there with a more than passing interest in the Constitution and it's limits on government power. Why not try one of those instead of pretzling our principles trying to find "moderates"...
I'm not sure I can argue with the first two, but even Bush supported the Assault Weapons Ban, and it hardly seemed to hurt him in flyover country.
