It's because of the words in his speeches and his writings. ALL of the words, not the "sound bites" that are sweet music to conservative ears. He promises he'll cut regulation and promote capitalism. But hear all of his words before you fall into a swoon. It's easy to do -- just google his CPAC speech, for example.
Every single solution the guy puts forth involves more government, more regulaltion. More interference. More kow-towing to world opinion in the Global Warming scam.

He would remove your right to determine your own health insurance and health care choices.
Those who think it's about his religion are fooling themselves.
