So you do not trust Gov. Romney. That does not really address my position. (Frankly, I do not completely trust almost anyone. People are all inherently flawed. That does not mean that we should not take our best hold on a situation.)
And do you deny that Romney did well for the 2002 Olympics--as a "problem solver?" (Also, I notice that none of your insults address his competence in dealing with economic questions.)

Mitt does not view Capitalism as a positive. His Olympic effort is totally irrelevant and has been fluffed up.
To see how Mitt views government vs free-market you have to look at his ACTUAL record in MASS.
Everything Mitt did in MA was carried out to enhance the Power of the State over the Individual. Mitt's actual record in MA pushed his state far down in economic performance.
Mitt's actual record in MA is a direct example of someone who worships at the Alter of State Power. It is utterly delusional to think Mitt will be "pushed" at all to Conservatism.
Mitt and his vile supporters are most excited when they are out utterly destroying Conservatives. Starting in mid-Sep 2008 Mitt and his vile staff and supporters started with a scorched Earth policy against Sarah and any other Conservative who could be a threat. To have him expect to receive my vote is an insult to everything I believe in. I will not vote for rabid Statists -- whether they be Rats or GOP-e.
Ansel12's post #6 perfectly explains Mitt's political DNA.
