Judge Robert Bork has endorsed Mitt Romney for president. He explains:
No other candidate will do more to advance the conservative judicial movement than Governor Mitt Romney. He knows firsthand how the judicial branch can profoundly affect the future course of a state and a nation. I greatly admired his leadership in Massachusetts in the way that he responded to the activist court's ruling legalizing same-sex 'marriage.'
Our next President may be called upon to make more than one Supreme Court nomination, and Governor Romney is committed to nominating judges who take their oath of office seriously and respect the rule of law in our nation. I also support Governor Romney because of his character, his integrity and his stands on the major issues facing the United States.
As much as conservatives respect Judge Bork, his endorsement is less significant as guidance for undecided conservatives than as evidence of how undecided (non-evangelical) conservatives are likely to break.
Look out!! Your (Refreshing and correct) main-stream Republican views are about to get your head taken off, I'm guessing (You conservative HATING liberal PLANT!!).
Good to see some common sense, though...We need more of it.
All of which stills misses the point. All of the mainstream candidates (from both parties) are smart enough to handle the job. It is when you start looking at their policies that you see that intelligence and wisdom are not the same commodity.
2. I’m for Mitt
3. I’ve been around here long enough to know that Freepers are NOT mainstream conservatives - not that there’s anything wrong with that...
Good point.
From my vantage point, anyone who can win the GOP nomination is going to be a ton better than anyone who can win the Dim nod...
I thought he was more of a Conservative Democrat who felt the party abandoned him.
The facts are is liberal record is the far bigger problem. Only a fool would believe this guy is anything but the second-coming of Bill Clinton. He's a fraud with a liberal record.
But, you apparently want to drink the Kool-Aid and suck up everything the guy says. But, if he gets in office, he won't hesitate to betray conservatives every chance he gets.
I think like you.
Pointless assumption, because it aim't going to happen. If Huckabee runs he'll be squashed like a bug by the 'rats.
Actually, FRiend, we -and others around America- DO ask
if illegal aliens are involved.
And Romney was 1) already caught and exposed by the
Boston Globe (which does not like him), and
2) was running for President.
Given 1) and 2) Romney is a PROVEN two-faced hypocrite,
a “believer of convenience”.
“Americans do not respect believers of convenience.”

Judge Bork, are you a man experiencing the onslaught of memory loss or are you paid handsomely to use your name as a promoter of Mitt Romney?
Either way your recollection of Mitt Romney and his political work is untrue.
Mitt Romney has touted true conservative values ONLY after deciding to run for POTUS.
Character and integrity don't fit in with this scenario for Mitt.
I will for for anyone who isn’t a Democrat!
It appears as though you have done your homework in politics and tote a convicted personal mindset toward conservative values because of it. /s
Better a Mormon or a snake handler in the White House than a Democrat. The Democats have drifted so far to the left they may well destroy the county if given half a chance.
I place my bets on a conservative rather than a liberal.
Party affiliation isn't a concern to me.
No one concerned with conservative ideals would ever vote for Romney. A vote for Romney is a vote against true conservatism. But, it might be that many who are otherwise conservative just imagine that Romney could win, so they want to support the winner so that when he gets into office he might favor them with scraps from his liberal table.
Romney is NOT a principled conservative choice, but he IS a desperate one.
The only change Romney made was no longer being pro choice. geez....the lies posted around here are worse than DU.
Romney does not have a liberal record. We are becoming more like DU every day.
“National Review” and Bork....tend to disagree with you. I think I like their assessment a little better than yours.
Romney v. 1.0 (running for Massachusetts governor) believes
Romney v. 2.0 (starting to run for POTUS)
(see As Candidate Builds Support From Conservatives, He Confronts Accusations He's a Flip-Flopper)
If you really look at their assessments, the bottom line is that they picked him because they think he can win, NOT because they think he’s the most conservative. They have chosen winning over ideology and they know it.
