The man IS a democrat. - In the mold of a Lieberman on defense.
Okay, lets give that thought a roll here and see what turns up:
1)Endorses participation in the ICC. - so does hillary.
2)Voted against the Bush tax cuts. - so did hillary.
3)Wants Gitmo closed. - so does hillary.
4)Demands an end to waterboarding. - so does hillary.
5)Wants terrorists to have access to trial in America. - so does hillary.
6)Wants America to be bound to a Global Warming agenda. - so does hillary.

8)Does not exclude known criminals and felons from amnesty. - neither does hillary.
9)Does not believe that immigrants of any type should learn English. - Neither does hillary.
10) has zero record on appointing judges. Neither does hillary but they both did great damage to the process recently, john with the gang of .. how many? and hillary with her voting record.
11) John has a history of scandal and an ill controlled temper - so does hillary.
12) John opposes drilling in ANWAR - so does hillary.
Take out one or two fiscal issues and the man is closer to most dems than most dems are to each other!
Romney, who supported mandated health coverage for Massachusetts but has backed away from that position running for President, said mandates should be determined on a state-by-state basis, to which Thompson replied, “When did you come up with that?”
“If people can afford to buy it, either buy it or pay your own way,” Romney said.
When other candidates criticized the pharmaceutical industry, Romney defended it.
“Don’t turn this pharmaceutical companies into the big bad guys,” he said, prompting McCain to interject, “Well, they are.”
Romney Defender of Big Pharma and Coporate Greed!
Don’t forget that McCain’s Amnesty would wipe out his otherwise fiscal conservatives stances completely.
Making 30 million low-wage illegal aliens legal would open the welfare system floodgates. They won’t make enough money to pay income taxes, but they’ll sure milk all they can from Welfare, Foodstamps, Secion 8 Housing, Medicaid, Free School Lunch programs, etc.
Amnesty will mean a defacto increase of hundreds of billions of dollars in additional ‘safety-net’ social spending. McCain touting his killing the ‘Bridge to Nowhere’ and saving a few hundred million is ridiculous in comparison.
