Because Romney pledges to repeal Obamacare and has said RomneyCare is only appropriate for Massachusetts and should be left to the states. Also, he is not the "father" of Gay marriage, the activist courts are. He merely implemented it so as not to get into a fight with the court. Obama's court picks will be more likely to impose same sex marriage nationally. Romney will be subject to at least some pressure from conservatives. Obama will be subject to none.
Mitt was downright cowardly about the court. The court did not even order Mitt to do anything at all. He acted as if it had.
I don’t know the man what is the opposition to him or his program all about?
I rembember him, and A+Bert, too..
If you think the anti Romney loons here on FR are the conservative base In this country you’ve got a lot to learn.
“However, as a person who didnt support Romney in the primaries, I just think he has a unique knowledge of how to do what needs doing - unleash our job creators. “
Seriously, who even talks like this? I hear the GOPe saying this stuff in their carefully neutered responses, but no way they’re natural. Seriously, what evidence is there that Romney has any unique knowledge at all? So he ran Bain? Okay. He ran MA into the ground by imposing socialism, which he lied and promoted to his gullible liberal electorate. He lied about raising taxes. He lied about what RomneyCare would do. He lied about coal. He lied about green energy. He lied about cap and trade. He lied about gay marriage. Where the hell is this “promise” you are speaking of? Maybe the Olympics, where he boasted he was able to squeeze millions and millions from the federal government to run? This fool is on tape talking about “getting money from Washington” and “creative” ways to get grants from such disparate goverment departments as the department of education.
Yes, you have really grown, now you see being a romneybot as the measure for being conservative.
“He will at least at times act conservatively, as in picking Ryan. Please learn to make distinctions.”
Paul Ryan was a head fake. Check his record and his budget plan. We didn’t bother before because nobody expected his budget to get passed and he wasn’t the VP. The “budget” plan doesn’t balance the actual budget. In fact, all it does is move money from one pocket to the other, and replies on voodoo math (2 percent unemployment?) to “grow” out way out of debt. It won’t work. It’s a fraud, as is Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney.
Well, I see the businesses he funded still in the local malls.
He knows a whole lot more than that stupid communist we’ve got now.
Furthermore....who talks like this???? I do...and I have a ton of experience in the business world....from the bottom up.
Well that theory falls apart when one realizes Paul Ryan is the VP.
You may want to consider that not all R voters are conservative. They should be; but the fact is that they are not.
Is the goal to win an election; or to have a pure conservative as the candidate? I would like both; but winning the election is a non negotiable.
No, we don't want to emulate that.
no San Francisco Liberal will be persuaded to change their minds on these issues nor any other voters.
We are not focusing on changing the minds of San Fran liberals. We do want to educate and remind people who are receptive to our values.
“Because Romney pledges to repeal Obamacare and has said RomneyCare is only appropriate for Massachusetts and should be left to the states.

Mittens is a liar. Not too long ago he was saying RomneyCare would be cool for the entire country. He still won’t tell the truth about RomneyCare and what a failure it is, and his surrogates have already said that it would be impossible to repeal ObamaCare so might as well keep “the good parts”.
On gay marriage, the courts had no power to impose gay marriage. According to the MA constitution, that domain was exclusively with their legislature. So there was no fight to be had with an activist court. It didn’t matter. Mittens campaigned that he would be better for gays than Kennedy. He meant it.
As for “pressure.” Look how much pressure he has. There is a large section of “conservatives” threatening and pressuring others into voting for him. If you so much as mention anything anti-Romney, they freak out and accuse you of voting for Obama.
Only as long as it comports with the law of God.
NEVER when it contravenes the duty to God and His Christ.
Because when it does, as in the case of voting for Romney - then our duty is to God and our biblical principles. Anything less is sin and betrays both God and our faith (not to mention our foundational principles of liberty) - making us hypocrites.
Which is how we lost our culture to begin with.
Besides, we did this whole "duty of doing what is unpleasant" in 2008.
Just because some of you want to practice insanity does not mean the rest of us have to.
“I dont know the man what is the opposition to him or his program all about?”
He is a progressive and supports every major progressive item on their platform. And then he lies about it, constantly, not only about his opinions, but about his past, present and future. His campaign even helped spread the “Palin is a bimbo” theme on CNN and other places on the eve of the election. IOW, he gave us the disease and then pretends to be the cure. No one can truly comprehend his narcissism and cynicism. All that he does is for political gain, and he and his father have waged a war against conservatism for decades.
>> Because one day - theres this Judgment Seat - and there will be an accounting.
So let me get this straight.
You’re claiming — no, belay that, you’re INSISTING — that Almighty GOD will smack me down from the judgment seat for all eternity for doing my level best to remove from the American Presidency a usurper that believes in homo marriage, abortion on demand, INCLUDING partial birth abortion, coddling Islam, and other associated evils.
Do I have that right?
The goal is NOT to “win” an election. The goal is to accomplish something. The “grown ups” in the party laugh at that point of vies. They think I’m nuts. They are only interested in their own enrichment and power.
“Youre claiming no, belay that, youre INSISTING that Almighty GOD will smack me down from the judgment seat for all eternity for doing my level best to remove from the American Presidency a usurper that believes in homo marriage, abortion on demand, INCLUDING partial birth abortion, coddling Islam, and other associated evils.
Do I have that right?”
So does Mittens, so it basically doesn’t matter. If you like Romney, you should be okay with Obama. I’m not voting for Mittens for the primary reason that I realize it is a futile and pointless act. I’ll vote down ticket, since there isn’t really a choice on the POTUS level.
