Not true. Romney is Pro-Life. He refused to sign pro-abort legislation that came across his desk. He most definately is not pro-gay, I've never heard him endorse any form of socialist universal health care, and I don't know what makes you think he would nominate liberal judges. If anyone would nominate liberal judges it would be McCain. He actually endorsed David Souter, so that should give you some insight as to who he considers to be a conservative judge. You seriously need to reevaluate your powers of reasoning, or come clean and stop posting deceptive information on Romney.

And while we're at it, the truth is, McCain was ready to bail in the last election and run as John Kerry's VP, so who's the turncoat liberal here? That dosen't sound like a conservative Republican to me.

Let me express some points of view on your post.

Romney has been endorsed by several strong pro-lifers. He is not a pro-choice presidential candidate. Even when he ran as a pro-choice candidate as a Senator and governor (which he no longer does, his change of heart has been recounted before), he made it clear his own view was pro-life. His judges would be constitutionalists. That should give a pro-life voter hope.

As far as gay marriage, he worked against the Massachusetts gay marriage decision. If you choose to believe otherwise, you ignore the facts.

Regarding socialist health care, you're wrong again. Mitt's state made the deadbeats get their own insurance. The state was already paying for the health care of these people...what is more important is that the bulk of the health care providers were from the private sector and not a Hillary-care Government plan.

I cannot speak to Liberal judges, as I am not familiar with how many he appointed. I can say he was in a state where 80% of the legislature was Democrat, and that there are reports that John McLame didn't care for Sam Alito...so the alternative doesn't really make me feel good.

The "Catholic Hospitals" you make a good point about. And Romney is wrong about that--he should have stood his ground when the issue first came up, though perhaps he was told by counsel his stand wouldn't hold up in court. I am pleased that his initial reaction was to agree with the hospitals, though. He should have worked harder to get something done that would have exempted the hospitals.
