Effete flip-flopping French-speaking Massachusetts liberal, except this time pushed by the conservative media rather than the MSM.
The South was never going to vote for a liberal Yankee like that, and the accusations of anti-Mormon bigotry from the Romney folks make them sound just like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson on race, preaching hate and playing the victim card.
Was there anti-Christian bigotry in the Utah primary?
I dunno. For me, the fact that the MSM hates Romney with a passion is the best endorsement I’ve seen for a candidate all year!
I’m glad to see I’m in good company. The great Mark Steyn notes the Romney/Kerry comparision. Sad that so few others see what is so obvious.
McCain was against the Bush tax cuts, has consistently sided with the pro-abortionists, was behind McCain-Feingold, sought to give amnesty to tens of millions of illegal invaders, and has consistently sided with Democrats against gun owners, yet now he's touting himself as a pro-tax-cut, pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, pro-First Amendment "conservative."
...and you're focusing on Romney being a "flip-flopper"? Give me a break.
I admit that being from the South it wasn’t the fact that Romney was a Mormon but the fact that he was from Mass. that gave me pause.
Now THIS is a hell of a lot more believable than that article trying to claim that Romney is the next Ronald Reagan.
I've felt this way since he entered the race.
Look, I know people can and do change positions in their life (thanks to Christ, I'm one of them), but Romney's change of heart was just too recent and too politically expedient to be fully trusted this soon in the game.

By george, I think you got it. I have been wondering why I have resisted Romney’s appeal. Your post has rung a bell.
“Romney was the Republican John Kerry”
...and Huckabee is Huey Long
Romney-Feigold, Romney-Kennedy, Romney-Lieberman, Romney voted against the Bush tax cuts and Waterboarding...hey wait a minute, that wasn’t Romney...IT WAS McCAIN!!!! So who is the real RINO? Please buy a clue.....
A hundred years ago, when men were saying women shouldn't vote, one of their reasons was that women are irrational, and will vote for whomever they find most attractive. And voila, it is by and large true. I am embarrassed for my half of humanity.
So they put a Southwestern liberal who's even worse in instead. How does that make things better? Btw, the region of the country that will suffer more than anyone if amnesty ever goes through is the South since there are millions of illegals living there. Not much to worry about here in Upstate NY, the weather's too cold for them and there's not much in the way of jobs.
So, all the name calling and sophmoric "effette" talk ad nausium does not change the fact that a lot of people, including in the south, support Romney and his campaign and are willing to give him the benefit of the doubt on his "changes". It is the Christian thing to do because that is precisely what Christ teaches, regardless of how you feel about the man or his campaign.
Personally he was my 3rd choice, as I have said, and I have reservations and would much preferred to see more time go by proving his "changes", but that luxury was not available. But having said that and looked closely at his record, what he said before, what he says now, and what his campaign is now based upon, and in addition to listening to strong conservative voices who have come out in support of Romney...I decided he was the best left in the pack. Not a desirous situation at all, but one we were left with.
Huckabee did very well last night and is clearly got a message that many agree with. There is a lot I agree with him on in his current campaign...and also things I absolutely do not agree with him on. McCain has even more baggage. I still feel that any of those three...with McCain absolutely on the low end of that scale...would be better than any of the democrats.
Anyhow, for all three campaigns it is now time to move forward and see what the following weeks bring. I believe that by the end of the day on March 4th when Texas and other states vote that it will be decided.
****they said they hadn’t voted for Mitt because he’s a north-eastern liberal. ***
My reason exactly.
However, if it comes down to Hillary or Obama against Romeny, I will hold my nose, and vote for him.
What I was not prepared for was that his own state was not too keen on voting for him. Did you notice that Romney only carried Massachusetts by 10 points? That is very low for the state where he just left the governorship.
For all the talk about the anger against McCain in AZ over immigration(and it's real) he carried the state by 15 points. Hillary and Obama carried their home states by over 20 points.
The South was never going to vote for a liberal Yankee like that
No, you'll just vote for a liberal like Carter.

You said it best.
That was a strange article by a southerner if you ask me.
1. Romney was NOT the recipient of a media push for him. Actually, it was quite the opposite, so I don’t know where this writer gets this idea.
2. The odd thing is McCain is a true Flip-Flopper, but the liberal MSM wanted to foist McSnake on the American people, so they pumped him up any chance they could get.
I’m beginning to think Americans are so stupid.
A good comparison, except Willard is a much better flipper... flopper... whatever.
One anti-conservative, pro-abortionist down, one to go. We are now on official Romney Death Watch.
