...During his initial 2002 campaign Romney refused to sign an anti-tax pledge, but he pledged to balance the budget without raising taxes and touted his fulfillment of that pledge throughout his term. But the details suggest that he broke his verbal committment. Romney did not impose any broad-based tax hikes he imposed a slew of fee hikes.

He opposed Ballot Question 1 to eliminate the state income tax and proposed an auto excise tax on SUVs...

On so many issues RINORomney IS Obama.

Correct, but if four years of Romney followed by a primary challenge means that he is appointing (at least) three SC Justices instead of Obama, then, yes, Romeny will be worth supporting. As an absolute LAST resort.

This snake in the grass WEASEL FLIP SLICK MYTH WILLARD RINO ROMNEY DOESN'T HAVE THE BALLS to fight communists.

He is a coward from a family of military service avoiding cowards, a cultist, and a degenerate liar.

So afraid of being branded MCCARTHYITES, these country club establishment glad handing sons of bitch WASHINGTONIANS running the RNC.

PAYBACK IS COMING

"You are seeing today an all out attempt to marshal the forces of the opposition, using not merely the communists, or their fellow travelers-the deluded liberals, the eggheads, and some of my good friends in both the Democratic and Republican Parties who can become heros over night in the eyes of the left-wing press if they will just join with the jackal pack"
