Frankly, I don’t understand the vitriol against Romney on this board.
Positive opinions about Romney among both Republicans AND Democrats have increased by eight points since early 2008. Among Republicans, Romney has made identical nine-point gains in favorability among conservative Republicans AND moderate and liberal Republicans; currently, 61% of conservative Republicans and 52% of moderate and liberal members of the GOP express positive opinions of Romney.
For some of the members of this board to paint Romney as “too liberal” or “not conservative enough” seems a bit radical to me. Sure, he’s not the perfect candidate for us, but he’s electable, and may be the only one we can run against Obama’s Acorn machine in ‘12 that is.
COrrect me, but I believe that Romney is in favor or killing little babies still growing inside their womb nest.
Being for Romney’s universial health care is what is radical. Being against universial health care is being constitutional. Doesn’t matter if a socialist has Sarah on his arm or not; he’s still a socialist.

Ugh!!! That's what we do not want -- a president adored by Democrats. Are you frikin' kidding me! You're new here. Are you trolling?
Then you don't understand Romney and should ponder the concept of how much it profits one to lose one's soul but gain the world. A Romney victory would be defeat.
It's fairly easy to find video clips of his speech from the CPAC convention last year, and it's easy to find his written words. Again and again, he confirms that his solutions to "problems" involve more and bigger government, from health care to gay "rights," which really means denying each human's God-given right to reject open homosexuality in business and civic decisions. Romney's government "solution" would only give us the "freedom" to embrace it; we'd be fined or jailed for rejecting it.
Romney's consistent promotion of bigger, more intrusive government even goes global when it comes to the pretend "carbon plan." From his 2008 CPAC speech: "Any carbon plan has to be worldwide in scope. Let's have a worldwide solution, not an American one." So, OMG2012, you don't understand the vitriol against Romney on this board, in spite of the fact that Romney validates the "solution" of letting other nations oversee America's production and use of energy to fix the imaginary bogeyman of "global warming"?
You need to pay more attention to ROMNEY himself, not just what people say about him. I have, and that's why I harbor what you might call "vitriol" against any attempt by him to advance to power in the GOP. Just look at Romney's own words and record if you want to understand. But be sure that you really DO want to understand.
