Romney and Whitman both harshly criticized the $787 billion stimulus package championed by President Obama and congressional Democrats, saying it includes too much bloated spending and not enough tax cuts. Whitman is also railing against the plan, signed into law yesterday, of tax increases and spending cuts to plug California's $42 billion budget deficit, saying in a statement it "will kill jobs, hurt families, and make future deficits worse."

Just answer the questions.
“If pro life advocacy ISN’T a non-negotiable core value then you are doomed to an eternity of disappointment my friend.”
Amen. The after life is far longer than here on earth. The Lord judges accordingly.
Really? Who is "worth a lie" to you?
No, you persist in missing the point.
You're trying to turn my comments into something that they are not.
I was responding to EV's contention that those who supported Gov. Romney were either "naive or stupid". My response was completely accurate for the context. Those were a few of his supporters at the time.
Really? Arrogance?
You openly call me a liar, and my rejection of your opinion makes me arrogant?
Mmmm kaaaayyyy.
‘Huh? What are you talking about? ‘
I’m talking about your post to me, where you claim I said somethign about Romney being a ‘conservative’.
I’ve NEVER posted such a thing, on any thread, here at FR or elsewhere, going back over a decade.
You can’t ‘cut and paste’ anything to support the remark. No need to get testy being called on it, it happens to all of us at some point in these internet forums, and the debates that ensue.
Yes, its a Conservative Website. So? I didn’t bring up ‘Conservative’ let alone falsely attribute it to another poster in this context. You did.
You further compound your own error by then ‘guessing’ I am saying I don’t ‘embrace conservative principals’ which once again isn’t supported by anything you could ‘cut and paste’ to show otherwise.
I guess thats why the request you ‘cut and paste my remark’ has you in such a tizzy.
Relax, its only the internet. And I have a quarter of a million posts over the past decade between FR and other political forums that debunks your hilariously funny ‘guess’ about my views.
Try again!
I openly called you a liar because you were lying.
Nobody. The truth is my best friend in these forums.
Guess what, Badeye? I was RIGHT THERE WITH YOU back then, in total agreement with you. I opted to pass voting for McClintock because I knew he couldn't win over liberal, racist Cruz Bustamonte (and I still think he couldn't have won), and I voted for Arnold. Arnold won, as I knew he could and figured he would. I felt good about it at the time.
Since then, Arnold has done as much damage to California as anything Bustamonte could have done, and guess what, Scooter? ARNOLD HAS DONE MORE DAMAGE TO THE GOP THAN BUSTAMONTE COULD HAVE ACCOMPLISHED IN HIS WILDEST DREAMS.
If I had it to do over again, understanding that McClintock could not win, I would do what I could to therefore see Bustamonte beat Arnold. In retrospect, I would rather have taken my chances with Bustamonte. I LEARNED A LESSON.
You have learned nothing at all. Nada, zilch, null. Zero. You were correct "back then" that "Arnold was the only kind of Republcian that could win a statewide race" in California. YOU WERE MISTAKEN, as was I, that such a Republican was better than a Democrat.
If you don't learn from your mistakes, you're doomed to repeat your failures. ROMNEY IS SUCH A FAILURE.
I still haven’t seen an endorsement of Whitman from a Romneyite on this thread.
Exactly and that would be you.
You posted at #44:
>>>>>"More Republicans voted for Romney than McCain from what I can tell."
Time to put up or shut up.
Tell the whole truth, then. Romney has shown his true liberal stripes once again, and his supporters are proving again that they can't give a straight answer about the man.
You didn't so much ask a question as assemble a list of epithets and unproved accusations with a question mark slapped on the end.
Can you create a real question? I'll be happy to answer one.
Romney is the only pro-gun control, pro-abortion, big-government liberal they will endorse.
Umm, no I wasn't lying. That's the point.
You can live in your fantasy world where people who disagree with you are all liars, but I'm not playing that game.
The behavior of Romney supporters speaks volumes about their hero.
Sure, since you missed the multiple posts in which I did exactly that.
Here's a couple:
1. Do you endorse Meg Whitman as Governor of California?
2. Do you agree with Mitt Romney's endorsement of her?
3. Do you believe, since there isn't a shadow of doubt that the woman is a hardcore liberal, that Romney's endorsement of her goes to his veracity during the last election, especially in light of his decades-long support for the exact positions she espouses?
I'll await your succinct, honest responses.

Weekly Report on TeamROMNEY
Surprise. Surprise. Do TeamROMNEY's attacks on Gov.Palin, her children, and her supporters EVER END?
Apparently not. Now they extend to ... attack the GOP, too.
Connect the dots......
Dan Gilgoff is yet another Romney supporter,
off the bench and in to attack Gov. Palin this month, for backstabber Carpetbagger RINO Mitt Romney.
There are enough attacks against Gov. Palin that this effort is concerted (p < .0001)

Dan Gilgoff Romney propagandist: "("A Massachusetts Conservative," U.S. News & World Report, 2/12/07)
Romney ... (w)ith a Democratic-controlled state legislature, he managed to
balance the budget without raising taxes."
[Romney called the tax increases "fees", and even raised them in NH !!!]
Joe Scarborough is yet another Romney supporter,

"Scarborough: Romney Won Debate"
"Mitt Romney Absolutely Dominated"
More dots...... Carol Platt Liebau is yet another Romney supporter,
in to attack Gov. Palin this month, for backstabber Carpetbagger RINO Mitt Romney.
"Mitt Romney has been the most consistently excellent debater overall in the two meetings of the Republican candidates.
He is personable, clearly well informed, incredibly well-funded, and surrounded by a crack staff.
All that, taken together, goes far to explain why his numbers in Iowa -- and elsewhere -- are looking better and better."
"But the other candidate who's very compelling is Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney."
Even more dots...... Douglas Kmiec is yet another Romney supporter from the Romney Keep,
in to attack on the GOP, for backstabber Carpetbagger RINO Mitt Romney.
"Romney supporter turned Obama man Douglas Kmiec indulged in quite a litany of name-calling,
finger pointing and demagoguery against the GOP that would have been amazing from the same man only one year ago.
Kmiec has shown that he no longer cares much how he is viewed, going full Democrat Partisan at this point."
Surprise. Surprise. Connect the dots......
Cal Thomas is yet another Romney supporter,

‘Tell the whole truth, then. Romney has shown his true liberal stripes once again, and his supporters are proving again that they can’t give a straight answer about the man. ‘
Ah...you want me to lie about what I think?
Uh...No. Sorry.
Romney realizes, as I have for a decade, you won’t get a ‘conservative’ elected to the Governors Mansion in California. At least thats what I suspect here.
Its the same reason McClintock had no chance of winning the recall race after Davis was shown the door.
I’d rather have a honest to God Conservative in California, but the state doesn’t have enough Conservatives for that to happen. Those days are long gone.
Sure, other folks who support other candidates or cause on Free Republic show some of the same tendencies at times, including yours truly, no doubt; but not with the dependable consistency nor in the very high numbers that Romney supporters confirm over and over and over on Free Republic.
It is very, very enlightening.
