I cannot site doctrinal problems with Romney

Favors the assault weapons ban?

Favors government mandated universal healthcare?

Even the newly manufactured Romney hasn't flipped to the conservative side on these issues.

Actually, he does not favor “THE” assault weapons ban. There isn’t even an “assault weapons ban” being proposed that he favors.

He has said he supports the EXISTING law, (1934/1986), and does not support adding any NEW laws at this time.

And he does not support, at least at the federal level, universal healthcare OR a mandate, although he supported a mandated proof of ability to pay your medical bills as Governor of Mass.

There is some discussion over where the “conservative” position is on health care. Once you decide you aren’t going to let people die on the sidewalk in front of the hospital because they don’t have the cash to pay for a simple treatment that would save them, the application of conservative principles to solving the problem some other way becomes a bit murky.
