Why is Mitt running as a Republican? He is not even close.
Great question!
“I was an independent during Reagan-Bush, I’m not returning to Reagan-Bush!” —Mitt Romney (angrily)
And then he went on to prove it. Abortion, gay marriage, liberal judges, socialist healthcare, busted budgets, ruined Republican label, etc.
Better yet, why is the Republican establishment backing him?
full disclosure: I'm not a republican.
