OK, let me attempt to show you the outright hypocrisy of supposed conservatives on this.

Mitt Romney was annointed as the “conservative” candidate by Rush, Laura, Sean, Anne and the rest, right? Let’s see how conservative he is:

(1) Won Michigan by prominsing $20 billion in federal spending on their state if elected.

(2) Passed a state run health care bill while governor of MA - one which he knew would be required by law to use tax payer money for abortion (after he was pro life)

(3) Raised fees of $300 to $500 billion (Depending on who you believe) while governor. You realize that if Huckabee would have just supported tolls on his roads in AR (a fee), then the Club For Growth would probably have given him a pass on that (as they did Mitt)?

(4) Mitt is against the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy, said he would be better for gay rights than Ted Kennedy and looked forward to the day when they could serve openly in our military.

(5) Mitt is for restrictions on purchasing and ownership of guns. Said he was an avid hunter, but then said he might have done it once or twice in his life.

I can go on and on and on, but you get the point.

Each one of those allegations can be rebutted and refuted, but you are not willing to do the homework. Plus, it is irrelevant now.

Mitt Romney was defeated by the squirrel-eating wing of the party and the Washington party-going insiders. He threatened them both for different reasons.

“Mitt is against the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy”

No he’s not. You are doing exactly what you are accusing others of doing - hypocrisy. You are distorting his record.
