Bay Buchanan: “It’s time for conservatives to give Mitt Romney a long hard second look. As president he will repeal ObamaCare; cut spending; balance the budget without raising taxes; appoint strict constitutionalists to the bench; secure the border; enforce immigration laws; and defund Planned Parenthood. And he can defeat Barack Obama. “

If Romney is the nominee, these are good enough reasons to support him. But RomneyCare is enough reason to not want him as nominee.

If I could believe any of that I'd be happy to vote for Romney. But how can anyone know what to believe about the man? He's promised to support abortion rights but now claims to be pro-life. He's appointed flaming liberals to the MA courts and now claims he wants to appoint strict constructionists, he signed romenycare into law, all the while proclaiming his love for mandates because " they work'! but now promises to repeal obamacare.

Romney is too, too eager. Too ambitious. He WANTS to be President too badly...so badly that he'll do anything, say anything and promise anything to anyone to get elected. No thanks. I want a conservative. A real, principled conservative. A man with a core who can be trusted. That's not Mitt.

Well, understand the concern. flipfloppin’ Mitt’s been talking the conservative talk for 5 years now running for office, maybe some of it will sink in.
Honestly, I think he’ll be better than your low expectations ... a smarter version of GWB who actually isnt for open borders. he’ll sell out on gay issues but not on the prolife issue imho.

Our long mightmare of endless primaries will soon be over.
Mitt’s IL win makes it more likely than ever he’ll get the nomination.

Suck it up, hold yer nose, whatever it takes ... Anyone But Obama!

That comment Bill Buckley made one time about the first 2000 names in the Boston telephone book would certainly seem to apply here, too.
