I don’t think he did, I think he understands lowering taxes and reducing regulations is the best way to grow the economy.

And he’s not my first choice, but I consider him miles ahead of McCain.

Moral of the story: People who use the letter “u” in place of the word “you” are not to be taken seriously under any circumstances.

“You need to grow up and smell the baloney.” ~ fieldmarshaldj to fabian

Here are some left-wing dunces who voted for Romney in Mass. who are now complaining that they woke up and smelled the so-called “baloney” too late. LOL:

NY Times thecaucusblog/Comments section [Mass. voters talking about Romney on May 11, 2007]:

“.. he stated that he supported gay rights, but then attempted to have a Constitutional ammendment added to the ballot to have gay marriage banned in the state. ..”

“I firmly believe that he’ll ‘change his mind’ and go agree with his base if he’s elected just like he did on the abortion right’s issue. ..”

“.I will never forget when he vetoed the stem cell legilation after the bills’ sponsors had worked so hard at generating bi-partisan support. And he vetoed the bill ...”

“...If you want to know what Mitt is really about, please try to find his speeches to the Federalist Society to see what he’s really made of. ..”

11/10/2005 Mitt Romney addresses the Federalist Society
http://www2.nationalreview.com/corner/romneyaddress.pdf

*

What is the Federalist Society?:

“...the Federalist Society, the expanding network of conservative lawyers who over the past quarter-century have played a leading role in reshaping the nation’s judiciary and setting high-level Republican administration policy. ..

[...]

“..One of the group’s founding fathers was Edwin Meese, who would soon become attorney general under President Ronald Reagan. Olson was part of that Justice Department, and so was Giuliani, who served as its third-highest official. The plan was to sow talented conservatives at every level of the federal judiciary and ultimately gain a foothold at the Supreme Court. “That was very much on our minds,” Olson said.

It appears to be working as planned. When he took office in 2001, Bush leaned heavily on Federalists to create a legal power structure to continue the work of seeding the judiciary. Roberts, along with fellow conservatives Alito, Scalia and Thomas, now form a formidable bloc on the Supreme Court.

[...]

Split among GOP camps

But as the Federalists have grown, they haven’t been immune to internal fissures. Federalists have key figures in both the Romney and Thompson campaigns who believe their candidate is a more worthy vessel for their legal philosophies. And they say they haven’t had to make the sort of compromise that Giuliani’s conservative supporters have.

David McIntosh, a former Indiana GOP congressman and gubernatorial candidate, is vice chairman of the Federalist Society, and he’s a domestic policy adviser to Thompson. Douglas Kmiec, another high-ranking official in the Reagan Justice Department, has gone with Romney, whom he calls “authentic.”

Excuse me but I'm against SHAMNESTY via Juan McCain. That's not tearing down but it's part of McCain's DEMOCRATIC RECORD. He's hijacked the Republican Party and they are foolishly tagging along. I can tear down a record that has already gotten Americans killed, robbed and maimed, and that doesn't include gutting our emergency rooms: cuz there's no border fence and McCain will go back on his word and will push for amnesty. Why do you think all the illegal aliens in S. Florida voted for McCain? They want all instant citizenship!

McCAIN: WEAK ON SECURING THE BORDER & ENFORCING IMMIGRATION LAWS

2006- Sen. McCain voted against extending the border fence in the Sessions Amendment (2) to H.R. 5441.

2006- Sen. McCain voted to prevent the border fence from being built by voting in favor of the Manager�s Amendment to S. 2611, the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006.

2006- Sen. McCain voted to allow illegal aliens to receive Social Security by voting to table the Ensign Amendment to S. 2611, the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006.

2006- Sen. McCain voted against funding additional immigration investigators by voting against the Sessions Amendment (1) to H.R. 5441.

2005- Sen. McCain voted against providing funding for additional Border Patrol and ICE agents by voting against the Byrd Amendment to H.R. 1268.

McCAIN: THE AMNESTY KING FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS 2007 � Sen. McCain was heavily involved in the backroom negotiations of S. 1348 with Sen. Kennedy and Pres. Bush � this was an amnesty (permanent residency & path to citizenship) for more than 10 million illegal aliens.

2007 � Sen. McCain cast several votes to protect the amnesty in S. 1639 and to move the amnesty toward a vote.

2007- Sen. McCain is a cosponsor of S. 774, the DREAM Act. The bill would grant in-state tuition and amnesty to more than a million illegal aliens under the age of 30.

2007- Sen. McCain is a cosponsor of S. 340, the Agricultural Job Opportunities, Benefits, and Security Act of 2007 (AgJOBS). This bill would grant amnesty to millions of illegal agricultural workers.

2006- Sen. McCain voted in favor of S. 2611, the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006. This bill would have awarded amnesty to 10.2 million illegal aliens.

2005- Sen. McCain and Sen. Kennedy introduced S.1033, an amnesty for virtually all illegal aliens.

2005- Sen. McCain was a cosponsor of S. 239, the AgJOBS amnesty.

2003- Sen. McCain was a cosponsor of S. 1645, the AgJOBS amnesty.

2003- Sen. McCain was a cosponsor the S. 1461 amnesty for millions of illegal aliens.

AT THE MOMENT, REPUBLICAN VOTERS SEEM PERCHED TO REWARD THIS BEHAVIOR WITH A NOMINATION FOR PRESIDENT.

Utopia on earth is possible?

Really? Is that how your mind operates? Mine certainly doesn't. However, I have principles, which can neither be sold nor thrown away.

Anything less is going to be a choice between the lesser of the evils, is it not?

Anything less than what? Keeping my standards intact? Absolutely! Voting for someone just because there's an R after their name is not how I vote or from which I draw the basis to vote. Apparently, you do. Your choice to wallow. I'll stay out of the mud, thanks, and have nothing to do with republicans, or conservatives, in name only.
