Anti-gun: Never would crusade for it and start Fast and Furious as dear reader did. Not even close.
Pro-abort: At worst he's not going to crusade for it. Bambi wants to kill babies born alive, and has voted for it. Not even close (even if he didn't change as we all suspect).
Pro-gay marriage: Once again, not even close. Bambi forced gays on the military, refused to uphold DOMA, and was the first pres. to full throated support the gay agenda.
Economic malaise, high unemployment: *rolls eyes* Sorry Windy, but this is the one thing that is black and white, one is a Marxist, one believes in free market capitalism. That alone should tip the scales, because it's huge.
Lib judges: You really think he's going to appoint one like Sotomayer or Kagan? Give me a break, you're not being real.
Bambicare: Wants to repeal it, is running on it, if he wins and doesn't follow through, we impeach the bass tird. Bambi guarantees we have it through his veto. Guarantees it!
Anti-Reaganite: Sorry, not even close. A capitalist vs a full bore Marxist.
Tax raising: you can't seriously believe they have the same lust to raise taxes, in the same degree? Get real man.
Climate: One's a squish, the other has prevented drilling in the gulf, on the coasts, prevented the pipeline from being built, destroyed the coal industry, will likely prevent fracking if you have a chance. No contest once again.
Pro-amnesty for illegals: Frankly that's not true, he's actually the only one of the GOPers that didn't go all squishy on this issue. Even Newt went squishy on us, and Romney excoriated him (rightfully) for it. Heck, I almost believe he's genuine on this issue. Bambi, well you know where he stands. The more voters and moochers the better!
I'm sorry Windy, pretending they are the same is nonsense, pretending they end up in the same place is as well. I'm standing by my statement, they are hugely different. I'm not anywhere near thrilled about Mitt, but to allow the one, the destroyer of everything we love and care for another four years is simply suicidal.
As I said in my previous post, Mittens created the same kind of ill effects (as Massachusetts Governor), that the radical left-liberal machine has been foisting on us for decades.
Spin his alleged good intentions all you want, but facts are facts, and that's all any thinking conservative should go on, when judging a politician. His record shows what it shows, and it's a record that cuts across the grain of everything I believe and support.
To wit:
Mitt Romney’s Dismal Record
"As U.S. real output grew 13 percent between 2002 and 2006, Massachusetts trailed at 9 percent.
* Manufacturing employment fell 7 percent nationwide those years, but sank 14 percent under Romney, placing Massachusetts 48th among the states.
* Between fall 2003 and autumn 2006, U.S. job growth averaged 5.4 percent, nearly three times Massachusetts' anemic 1.9 percent pace.
* While 8 million Americans over age 16 found work between 2002 and 2006, the number of employed Massachusetts residents actually declined by 8,500 during those years.
"Massachusetts was the only state to have failed to post any gain in its pool of employed residents," professors Sum and McLaughlin concluded.
In an April 2003 meeting with the Massachusetts congressional delegation in Washington, Romney failed to endorse President Bush's $726 billion tax-cut proposal."
