What’s really stupid is that Romney hasn’t flip-flopped much on his economic liberalism. So I don’t know if these people are ignorant about what conservatism means or if they are SO conservative that they are consumed with hate for Obama and don’t care who they beat him with or what’s actually going to happen over the next 4 years. Then of course they have to swallow the meme that Romney is the most “electable” which there is absolutely no evidence for, especially now that he’s losing by more than others in national polls.
Here is all the evidence you need that hes the next John Corzine, i.e. a liberal high-finance businessman who’s incompetent on fiscal policy and cannot be trusted...
* Socialized medicine under Romneycare, his staff went on to help design Obamacare
* Taxpayer-funded abortion through Planned Parenthood
* Raised taxes/fees to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars in Massachusetts
* Massachusetts ranked 47th out of 50 in job creation under his tenure as governor
* Wants taxes to be higher on people making $200,000 or more; even Obama only wants them higher on $250,000 or more
* The Wall Street Journal says his tax plan is timid and similar to Obamas
* Said the poor are doing just fine by being stuck in the safety net and he isnt concerned with them
* Refused to speak out in favor of John Kasichs efforts in Ohio to curb union abuses
* Believes the minimum wage should be indexed to inflation, a classic bleeding heart liberal job-killing policy
* Believes in the class warfare mantra that creates policies to help some classes but not others
So I dont know if these people are ignorant about what conservatism means or if they are SO conservative that they are consumed with hate for Obama and dont care who they beat him with or whats actually going to happen over the next 4 years.
I go with number 2 if CPAC anything like the folks here that didn’t get behind a STAUNCH conservative like Jon Huntsman that didn’t hate enough but was unique in that he could actually win, and win big, against Obama.
