” Romney except on abortion has been a solid Conservative. “
I’m not media matters, something on this list that you want to refute?
Since you are willing to publicly claim “Romney except on abortion has been a solid Conservative”, then you must have lots to say to me about posting “false” information about this life long, “rock solid conservative”.
Why did Romney drop his Republican registration in the 1980s in revulsion against President Reagan?
Why was Romney aggressively pro abortion for all of his adult life, why was Romney quietly doing fund raising for Planned parenthood?
Why from 1989 until he became a Republican again in 1993, did Romney only donate to liberal Democrat races around the nation and again, actually fund raise for liberal Democrat candidates against Republican opponents?
Why was Romney anti Jesse Helms, why was Romney anti-Contract with America?
Why was Romney so aggressively pro-homosexual agenda, including full homosexuality in the military?
What accounts for Romney’s uncontrollable impulse to lie about anything and everything, even unrelated to politics?
Why does Romney even want to be President? Romney has no real history in political office, he won one race and governed in a manner that you describe as the opposite of what he believed, he did so poorly that he left with a 34% approval rating and turned his seat over to the Democrats, what could be driving him to currently devote his life and fortune to being President, he clearly has no particular ideology if you are correct, of course he could have dark anti conservative, reasons if one actually looks at who he is and has been ALL of his life.
How did Mitt Romney so thoroughly conceal any conservative beliefs or impulses in his public and personal life until he started running for the 2008 primary, that is almost 60 years of living and it was during the pro life movement, the Reagan Revolution, the 1994 Republican Revolution, the gun rights fights, wars, the Clinton years, how and why was he always on the wrong side?
Three days later, at a State House Veterans Day ceremony, Romney invoked the former president again, saying, "As Ronald Reagan once said, 'I have seen four wars during my lifetime and none of them began because America was too strong."'
And then last Friday, asked by a Fox News interviewer whether he was running for president, Romney said he was giving it some serious thought, because the stakes were so high. "We're going to have to make sure that we have the kind of Reagan optimism that America's looking for," he said.
Romney's repeated references to the nation's 40th president in two weeks illustrate how the governor, as he builds toward a 2008 presidential bid, is increasingly trying to cast himself in the Reagan mold — as a patriotic, small-government conservative from outside the Beltway who's bent on repelling taxes, moral relativism, and foreign threats.
Like many Republicans, Romney has long described Reagan as one of his heroes, but as the governor's White House hopes have gained steam, his admiration has turned to emulation: Romney seems to be channeling the former president's conservative convictions, his hopeful message, and even his witty, folksy style of connecting with voters from South Carolina to Southern California. http://www.deseretnews.com
He just said that Don't Ask don't tell seems like a silly policy. So gays can serve if they stay in the closet? Either they can serve or not or maybe in some roles but not others. Actually it's being studied as we speak. I would still consider Cheney a Conservative.
Romney has consistently said that he doesn't want to be a partisan politician. Saying he was against the Contract with America as a tactic doesn't mean he disagreed with most of the ideas.
You can twist any comment how you wish and I really doubt you bother to read the more detailed explanations. I'm sure to some everything needs to be in bumper sticker form for them to grasp. If you take the time to read up you will see that Reagan wasn't as black and White as you think.
If you want to answer the other question such as why does Mitt want to be President he does have a book coming out. I'm not here to do all your research.
