And for conservatives it a wash out.
Not for all of us.
With Newt I know I will get a fighter for almost all of the stuff I support. Not all, but that is where a conservative Congress comes in to pick up any slack.
Mitt is a no go.
The race was open to anyone that wanted to get in.
Most of the conservative community found better stuff to do apparently. Oh well.
Newt: Pro-life Reaganite, led the Republican Revolution, took the congressional majority from the Democrats who had held it for 40 years; and even with a democrat president: cut taxes, cut spending, cut the national deficit, cut welfare, balanced the federal budget four years running, cut regulations, reduced unemployment, blocked socialized healthcare (HillaryCare) and encouraged the Reagan economy to flourish throughout his term and beyond. Not a bad conservative record at all. We can use some of this now!!
Romney: Pro-abortion Reagan denier, crossed the aisle to promote abortion, gay rights, gun-control, liberal judges and actually advocated for and installed a socialist healthcare system (RomneyCare) which became the model and impetus for ObamaCare. Saddled his state with unnecessarily higher healthcare costs, busted budgets, busted Republican label, liberal activist judges, tax payer funded abortion, first in the union gay marriage, and individual mandates against the previously free citizens complete with tax penalties for non-compliance. Not even a moderate record. Romney is a liberal progressive, to the left of his ally, the late Ted Kennedy.
