Stop comparing Romney to Reagan.

There is no comparison.

Reagan was a conservative.

Romney`s record shows he supported liberal issues and liberal causes his entire life.

Do you even bother to read what one posts, or just skim and make ASSumptions?

“Romney`s record shows he supported liberal issues and liberal causes his entire life.”

Once again, it appears you didn’t bother to check Romney’s record yourself. I lived in Massachusetts and I know he’s conservative, which was why he got my vote.

But don’t take my word for it — take Tancredo’s on the issue of illegal immigration (and why he endorsed Romney):

“The contrast between Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney on the subject of illegal immigration is best seen by their actions and words on two issues as governor.

“Mike Huckabee supported in-state tuition rates and college scholarships for illegal aliens. Mitt Romney vetoed legislation that would have given in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens.

“Mike Huckabee supported driver licenses for illegal aliens. Mitt Romney opposed driver licenses for illlegal aliens.”

That’s just one issue. There was also, for instance, the marriage amendment which Romney proposed and tried to get passed in Mass. to stop gay marriage, though it lost by 2 votes because of the liberal legislature. Not to mention the fact that Romney lobbied Congress for a Federal marriage amendment in 2005, at the same time that McCain was opposing it and Huckabee did nothing.

Being a governor of Massachusetts doesn’t automatically mean he’s a liberal. Romney certainly isn’t liberal at all, but I believe he won the governorship anyway only because the state was in a financial mess and he was well known there for being a very good businessman.
