There you go again, SoCon, insulting someone who is trying to have reasoned dialog with you. I am not excusing my “bad choice.”

I do not agree with your choice, but it is yours to make and I know you love this country, and understand why you are making it, so I will not insult you over it. Try and recipprocate.

In fact, I am not excusing anything, I am poiting to the reality of the situation as it is on the gound based on my own research (remember the vetoes?) and on conversations with strong conservative people I know and trust who were there in Mass at the time.

Of course you and I would not have done those things Romney did...but then we would never have been elected governor there in any case for the same reasons. He moderated and was elected...and though his record from our perspective is far too moderate...I will tell you after my own research it is not nearly as bad and “evil” as some make it out to be, and it was better for Mass (according to the people who lived there) than what they otherwise would have had.

Now Romney says he has changed and has been campaigning for 6-7 years on a different set of positions.

Again, my point is simple...that condition is far better than what we will have with Obama.

We’re not going to get this back all at once, as much as you and I would like to...we’re going to have to fight and scrathc and claw and take the progress we can get when we can get it and then build on it and be discplined enough to get that progress and then hold onto it for dear life until we get more.

Sad it is that way...tragic for our nation...but it is the only path back that I see at this point.

God’s speed.

Jeff, I insulted no-one, including yourself with that last point.

I did not say you had made a bad choice, I posted that you were excusing Mitt Romney's bad choices, and you are.

As with most Mitt Romney supporters, there is either the desire to completely ignore his horrible record, or there is almost always, an excuse as to why he CHOSE to do the bad things he has done.

Now Romney says he has changed and has been campaigning for 6-7 years on a different set of positions.

And during those 6-7 years he has constantly and consistently lied about his past policy positions and actions, so why should I believe him now?

Remember CPAC 2012?

1. "I was a severely conservative Governor of MA"
2. "I have always been Pro-Life"

And those two are just the most recent blatant in your face lies he has stated about himself.

Add in the constant lies and shading of the truth where both Newt and Rick are concerned, and all the other lies and shifting policy positions and again, WHY SHOULD I BELIEVE ANYTHING HE SAYS?
