And the Un-Masking of Mitt Romney, the lying, left-wing, Progressive Liberal, continues . . . |

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldnt make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan |

"It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams |

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams |

Listen, that lying, left-wing, Progressive Liberal is your candidate, not mine.
I'm voting for Virgil Goode, Constitution Party, if Romney is the nominee.
This isn't the first lame, lying, accusation from party-over-principle compromisers I've gotten over this, and it won't be the last.

And the Romneybots wonder why I plan to write Sarah Palin for POTUS this November instead of voting for this Progressive (aka collectivist) clown.
Yes, Romney has said that he calls himself a Progressive and does not like the Pubbie label.

Let's see--on the one hand we have a candidate who has bypassed Congress to start unnecessary wars; who signed a law that would allow him to disappear, detain and even kill a US citizen for any reason whatsoever; who has appointed dangerous people like Eric Holder and Cass Sunstein to high office; who appointed socialists Sotomayor and Kagan to the Supreme Court; who has vowed to destroy the coal, oil and gas industries in this country; who has never missed a chance to divide us along every racial and economic line; who has bowed to our enemies and thumbed his nose at our allies...
And on the other hand we have a candidate who is somewhat more liberal than your rarified standards would allow.
Something tells me you're going to have to change your FR user ID after the election, if Obama wins.

Same tired, lying, accusation that has been tried over and over to shut up those exposing the truth about Romney's lying, left-wing, Progressive Liberal record by those who are at best, Party-Over-Principle types.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised given the ease and regularity of Romney's lies. I guess I shouldn't expect more from his supporters.

Somewhat more liberal??
I want some of the mind-bending, reality stretching drugs you been taking:

Raising fees is sometimes a very conservative move. Think about it. Who should be paying: the user (beneficiary) of a service, or the general public through taxation.
The normal conservative approach, also favored by libertarians; and the most market-based and efficient is for the USER to PAY. This puts costs where they belong: on the beneficiary. You visit a museum, for example, why should someone in another part of the state be paying for what you enjoy? You register a car, why should someone else pay? You need a building permit, why should someone else pay?
User pays brings a bit of market discipline into play. The user can always choose not to make the deal. But if it is covered by a tax, there is no escaping.
Government bureaucracies prefer to be paid by the tax rolls. Then their performance does not have to be very good. They have no customers, only captive taxpayers, wh are modern-day serfs.
The post office is another example of user paying, after the reforms of some decades back. It has worked very well. US mail is better than almost all postal services of other countries in the world, and it is cheaper. It is even cheaper than Canada, if you check the rates. Now they are in trouble, because people have found that new technology provides cheaper and faster communication. We probably can cut back on post offices.
Note that it is the unions and the left which want to plow billions into supporting the post office, moving back away from the user pays principle.
Students and their families should be paying their own education costs, in my ideal world. Then education would offer more choice, cheaper tuition, and would move more quickly into improved technology. Instead, we have an education bubble of mammoth proportions, unrestrained tuition hikes by colleges, foolishly luxurious campuses (more like country clubs), and students who hang around in the academic world when they should be getting a productive life.
There is no such thing as a free lunch. Someone has to pay. User should pay.
Now, as far a the matter of presidential politics goes, any dope can see that this is now a race between Romney and the dastardly incumbent. We had a find array of aspirants, but the race for the nomination is over. Is that not obvious?
Then make up your mind. Romney may not be your favorite candidate. He is nonetheless worlds better than the unmentionable incumbent. Romney is also a much nicer person. He will be endorsed by all his former Republican opponents.
Make up your mind. If you dont support Romney this summer and fall, you will be preferring the dismantling of the Republic by a life-long radical, virtually a communist. There is no way that the would be a good thing. Acting stupid does not demonstrate superior dedication to your principles.
Please keep in mind the picture of 0 leaning forward and telling Medvedev that he will have more of a free hand after the election. The current incumbent in that moment was caught telling a truth: he will have more of a free hand if we don’t stop him, and then he and his friends can work their plans almost unimpeded. Do you wish to see that?

I’d rather vote for Gingrich than Romney, but he won’t be the nominee. Besides, Gingrich would never win against Obama. The bottom line is, would you rather have Obama or Romney? Whatever you might say about Romney’s liberal policies, he probably won’t nominate Lawrence Tribe to the Supreme Court.

Sarah Palin is supporting Mitt.
She doesn’t want your vote, she’s not running.

If Mitt turns in the Elder Bush .... that is still a much much better fate than we have with the current president. We won’t actually witness the destruction our country by default... damn the principles save the republic.
