You are mistaking republicans for conservatives. Not the same thing by a long shot.
Just last week his gun-control tendencies came to the fore when he stated after Aurora he wouldn't change his gun grabbing in Massachusetts, and that he LIKES that kind of legislation.
July 23 - Romney: "....our challenge is not the laws but the people who obviously are distracted from reality and do unthinkable, unimaginable, inexplicable things. "Kudlow: "As the governor of massachusetts you did sign legislation restricting or banning a assault weapons. did that work in massachusetts to your satisfaction?"
Romney: "Well, actually the law that we signed in massachusetts was a combination of efforts both on the part of those that were for additional gun rights and those that opposed gun rights. They came together and made some changes that provided, i think, a better environment for both. That's why both sides came to celebrate the signing of the bill. Were there opportunities for people of reasonable minds to come together and find common ground? That's the legislation i like."
I will NEVER ever vote for that. He is a pro-abortion, pro-homosexualism, pro-gun control, social corporatist liberal. IOW, a radical liberal.
Republican, you act as if there were no media bias, no lying campaign, no dirty tricks, and no enormous money advantage.
We can go on and on about each candidate having an equal chance, but we know it isn't true.
Also, I remind you that the Republican Party is a private organization and not a governmental one. They have no reason to keep a hands off policy, and they did not do so...they were clearly in the tank for Mitt from the beginning.
