Did Mitt just up the ante?

Or

Was he totally stupid

My money is on he’s trying to cover all the bases so he allows everything.

Let’s look at our scorecard: Romneycare, gay couples, gay adoption, gay boy scouts, gun control, abortion for “health” of mother, the biggest loophole of them all. Add to that “tax code ‘revenue enhancers’”.

If it weren’t so bad already, I’d say it was getting worse.

What it’s getting is what WE, THE RESISTANCE, predicted. NOT what the ABOs predicted.

[Psalm 144]

He is playing for winner takes all stakes. This goes back to the sixties. He is looking at burying conservatives forever, and raising himself as the new benchmark. This is the culmination of a counter-Reagan revolution that began on January 20, 1989.

Why the h#ll is anyone surprised?

It makes one wonder if Romney wants to win. Has he been threatened?

Why would he blow up his own convention?

Over 186 Paul delegates, out of a sea of Romney delegates?

Who buys that?

Team Romney made a tough choice : hard work to appeal to the conservative voters, or easy work to appeal to the disaffected liberal voters. There appears to be sufficient volume of Obama buyer's remorse going around to think the easy path to victory will succeed. In the choice between what's right and what's easy, they went with "easy". It is insulting to our intelligence to imply Romney's feet can be held to a conservative fire. The liberals have a fire too, built on the backs of conservative stick gatherers and flint miners. And there's a big cushy chair pulled up to it with Romney's name on it if he pulls this election off.

This is classic Mitt, say one thing, do another.

We're dealing with a colossal, determined liar here.

He has done this all of his career.

Anyone believing that they are going to be able to hold Mitt's feet to the fire where conservatism is concerned is "whistling past the graveyard".

All you have to remember is him lying about how the Supreme Court of MA made him implement Gay Marriage when anyone with a 4th grade reading comprehenshion can read the Massachusetts Constitution and know that where matters of marriage are concerned, it is explicitly spelled out that they have to originate in the Legislature, NOT the Supreme Court.

This is what Mitt does, he lies about being a conservative or even a Republican and then finds a way to do what is non-conservative or even Non-Republican.

THere is going to be Hell to pay where Conservatism is concerned and the GOP.
