I hope so, he’s the only candidate who’s at least reasonably conservative on all 3 “legs of the stool.”

Mitt is liberal on social issues.
Santorum is liberal on economic issues.
Paul is liberal on foreign policy/defense.

Newt’s imperfect, but at least he’s one of us.

Mitt’s actually as liberal on economics as any other issue, and those are the ones he’s flip-flopped the least on.

* 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 Obama’s

* Said the poor are doing just fine by being stuck in the safety net and he isn’t concerned with them

* Refused to speak out in favor of John Kasich’s 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

Oh, I like that, order66:

.... he’s the only candidate who’s at least reasonably conservative on all 3 “legs of the stool.”

Mitt is liberal on social issues.
Santorum is liberal on economic issues.
Paul is liberal on foreign policy/defense.

Newt’s imperfect, but at least he’s one of us.
