>>>>>No, this is no liberal.

LOL

A while back Romney was supporting McCain's comprehensive immigration reform package that included amnesty. In 1994 Romney was trying to run to the left of Fat Ted Kennedy on the abortion issue. He says he had an epiphany in 2005 and now calls himself pro-life. His continued support for the federal assault weapons ban is an outrage. When he said he was a lifetime hunter and supported the NRA his entire life, that was BS. He joined the NRA in 2006! And lets not forget his advancing gay rights while leading a liberal state that has elected Ted Kenndy and John Kerry, election cycle afetr election cycle, decade after decade.

Romney's only real accomplishment as Governor of Massachusetts was to propose the first ever statewide health care program in America. Romney wants the federal government to take over 1/7th of the US economy by shoving a version of his RomneyCare down the throats of the American people. Mandates, subsidies and regulations aren't what the US health care system needs. That is the first step on the road to socialized medicine.

Romney has a lousy track record on most issues. People who have chosen to blindly follow him are engaging in a cult following.

I’ll only deal with your first two BLATANT LIES.

On McCrazy-Kennedy Amnesty, the record shows that his support ranged from nonexistent (March, 2007) to (earlier, in 2005) lukewarm.

Romney’s words grow hard on immigration
By Scott Helman, Globe Staff | March 16, 2007
PHOENIX — When Mitt Romney swooped into the heart of John McCain country this week, he brought a pointed message on illegal immigration: McCain’s approach is the wrong one.

[snip]

....Romney took strong action against illegal immigration as Massachusetts governor by vetoing a measure to grant in-state tuition rates to children of undocumented immigrants, opposing proposals to give driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants, and authorizing National Guard troops to assist with border patrol.

Last year, shortly after the Globe reported that some state contractors relied heavily on illegal workers, Romney sought federal permission to deputize state troopers to detain illegal immigrants they encountered on the job.

On your ridiculous charge about abortion, I happened to be a Mass. resident and voter in 1994, and in no way shape or form was he “to the left of Kennedy.” At best his position was muddy and ambiguous, and it was fairly obvious he was trying find an acceptable position between that of his Mormon background and the insane leftist temperament of Massachusetts. I knew it then and I know it now.

You are simply full of it, and spreading easily debunked lies.
