He's almost as bad as The Won.
There is nothing conservative about it.
No, Obama is the worst ever. I will do everything I legally can to make sure Obama is defeated in 2012.

Government mandates or Homosexual man dates, Mitt’s the man!
At one time in my life, I took the draft for granted and thought it was right, too. Most of the country accepted it, but never would, now. Neither, would I. There is a conservative revolution in progress. Our thinking is changing and Mitt is behind the curve. So is Newt, he's just a day ahead of Mitt.
Kind of like the Hindenburg. I heard the food and wine onboard was first rate. Service impeccable. Just one little bitty flaw...
At least the Constitution gives the Congress the authority to raise and support armies.
