We aren't looking to work for him nor are we a part of his family. He's not going to be president either, so we can take a more balanced view of the man.
If you're the guy who couldn't decide whether he was from Michigan or Massachusetts or Utah, moving to California doesn't improve things. And Romney won't have the automatic support he got for not being McCain. Unless there really isn't another qualified candidate in the race, a one term governor like Mitt won't get the nomination, so maybe we can ease up on him a little.
It seems you have no problem w/his government 'control' healthcare - well, here's some news for you - the MAJORITY of Americans do! Let him take 'care/control' of his company and his family - Americans don't need his 'care/control' mentality nor his climate change deception.
Romney opposes Obama's plan and bill in Congress. By this point most Americans do as well. What he thinks or what a majority of Americans think about health care in general, I don't know, but the fact that things have gotten as far as they have suggests that the majority isn't as solid as you think.
Romney wasn't a big supporter of the climate change idea the last time. Compared to McCain he was only lukewarm. If Romney's as wobbly himself as people say he is, I wouldn't count on him to stick to the idea in the future.
But like I said, he probably won't get very far if he runs again.

The Bay State's mandatory insurance law is raising costs, limiting access, and lowering care.
Three years ago, Massachusetts adopted a plan requiring all residents to purchase health
insurance, with state subsidies for lower-income residents. But rather than creating a
utopia of high-quality affordable healthcare, the result has been the exact opposite
skyrocketing costs, worsened access, and lower quality care."

Tell me, TAKE A "LOOK" for WHAT REASON? Balanced look at a RINO? - a fraud? GET LOST!
NO CONSERVATIVE wants or NEEDS to look at MITT for anything ever again!
What he thinks or what a majority of Americans think about health care in general, I don't know, but the fact that things have gotten as far as they have suggests that the majority isn't as solid as you think.
WHAT MAJORITY are you talking about? WHO CARES WHAT MITT THINKS! The town hall meetings and the tea party ralleys showed everyone what the voters think!
Compared to McCain he was only lukewarm.
Comparing one Rino to another? HOW noble of YOU - TRYING TO put MITT IN A GOOD LIGHT.
If Romney's as wobbly himself as people say he is, I wouldn't count on him to stick to the idea in the future.
Who said he was wobbly? He a back stabbing underhanded RINO. Don't count on him to Stick to the idea - you mean like abortion or ROMNEYCARE? Are you implying he's a flip flopper and/or will be whatever anyone wants him to be until he gets in office ala Obama style?
But like I said, he probably won't get very far if he runs again.
YOU DO KNOW WHAT I THINK OF YOUR POST, don't you? It's just as phoney as YOUR BOY MITT!!
