I never pretended to.
You don't know Conservative.
Dunno that he is being “more” conservative.
It is possible that he simply becomes whatever the job requires. Given his success in business, that would make sense. Being a Republican Presidential Candidate (as opposed to being the governor of Massachusetts) requires him to be more conservative.
Hopefully, being a Republican President of the United States, will also require him to govern conservatively...
At least he understands he can’t run on “I’m not Obama.” He is trying to give voters something believe in.
then let me make this clear to you ( without yelling )
I do not give a flying (insert deleted expletive here)what people say... been there, done that, got burned..
I look at what they do..
In the case of politicans, I look at what they do IN OFFICE..
there were some decent people speaking at the convention..
They are not running for president..
obviously you are a bush supporter, judging by your screen name..
this same stuff was said at both of his conventions..
bushie was not a conservative, and did not govern as one..
his pub majority spent like drunken sailors, and passed more restrictions on our individual freedom than clinton..
and this guy makes bushie look like a hard core conservative..
stop listening to what they say, and start looking at what they do...
Well, I could have said “A” Tea Party spokesman but I would have gotten the same response from you and anyway it’s pointless because you know what I was saying. If Mitt Romney is trying to crush the Tea Partiers then why would this particular Tea Partier not be afraid of him? Romney knows that at the end of the day the Tea Partiers except for those of the Paulbot type are voting Republican.
Damn, talking to my self now...
yes. we have to play the cards we are dealt. Right now we have no full-flush, but we have something that is better than nothing.
for me it is abortions just ahead of the economy, sorry.
There are many things wrong with Mitt Romney’s positions, and I will fight him on those. Unfortunately, more people in the primaries chose him over Newt, Santorum, or Bachmann.
Since I am in California, I am able to vote for a real conservative because my state doesn’t matter. Perhaps I will write in myself. But I haven’t yet decided. If I were in a toss up state, I would have no choice but to vote for Romney. This Catholic is not afraid of a Mormon.
Barack Hussein Obama is even worse than we imagined. We have never had a president like him before. Sometimes subconsciously, sometimes blatantly, he shows how he hates this nation and wants to bring it to his knees. He has disdain for the Constitution and will continue to make laws with the stroke of a pen; without the necessity of Congress, where law is supposed to be made.
A second term will not only be worse, it will be unimaginable. Without having to worry about re-election, he will continue on the path of destroying the country and making it pay for its sins of the past.
I would expect the FCC to enforce the so-called Fairness Doctrine. Three hours of Rush must be followed by three hours of leftist drivel with 17 listeners. It will destroy talk radio. Maybe the stations will all become Mexican music radio.
The Internet will be next. Tax on the internet and censorship. I have already packed my bags and and waiting to see where they send me for re-education. Since I love the weather here in SoCal, I am hoping they don’t send me to someplace like Maine.
How about 5 million illegal aliens becoming new DemocRAT voters without debate? Just the stroke of a pen, law of the land. Cool.
A second Obama term means money down the green energy rat hole and four more years of denying us the use of our own energy. We will become more dependent on foreign energy. When the Middle East blows up because Obama has refused to deal with Iran and nukes, there will be fuel shortages, skyrocketing prices for energy, and trouble getting our crops to the store. Impending economic meltdown will lead to martial law and more government control. Government control as we have never before seen. And it will be in the hands of a Marxist, someone who did not grow up in this country, and a Muslim apologist.
I do not like many of Romney’s policies and I will be fighting him to change them. But Barack Hussein Obama cannot be given a second term. We all know where that is headed. National suicide.
Standing up for principles is noble and should be lauded. Almost all of the time. But consider the guy living in a dangerous neighborhood, who is anti-violence and anti-gun ownership. We disagree but can at least admire him for standing on principle. So the day comes when there is a home invasion robbery, he survives, but his family is murdered. As he is being interviewed on local TV, he is proud of the fact that he stood on principle. Unfortunately, his family is dead.
Mittler? Really? That sort of trash, and by extension its poster belong on DU, not here. Resorting to such arguments are indicative of having no actual point other than insults. As such, any item of actual substance that may or may not be included in the post is dismissed as the rantings of a loon.
Ah, a well thought out and constructive argument. Thank you for your addition to the intellectual discussion. Stay classy.
LOL what for? It does not change who Mitt Romney is.
It is like trying to say John McCain is a different person all together because Sarah Palin was his VP pick. That dog just don’t hunt. Look at who all spoke at the 2008 convention yet John McCain is the same guy he was before it and after it. If fluff like that is what gets you through each night have at it.
I beg to differ. Between now and November 6th, the irrational shrieks from the ABR crowd is going to reach eardrum bursting levels and will be anything BUT easy to deal with. But to get rid of 0bama, I’ll endure it.
