OH wawawawawaw
Listen you want to support Romney fine, but good grief have a brain cell and stop trying to make him into some he is not and will never be - a conservative.
But, hey all you got besides a liberal Romney is whining that if we who do not support liberalism (which is Romney) want a nanny state......no honey you got it all wrong.
The GOPe ushered in a liberal candidate and so called conservatives for reasons known only to them fell for it hook line and sinker, their only recourse now is abandon all reason and so called conservative beliefs then pretend Romney is a conservative.
Well, so much for conservatives keeping Romney's feet to the fire.
There will never be an appropriate time to criticize Romney with the Republican-Party-first crowd. After the election, the battle cry will be "we can't have a failed Republican President." As the mid-term elections approach, criticism will construed as helping the Democrats gain in Congress. Then as the 2016 election approaches, any criticism will be construed as support for whoever the 2016 bogeyman is.
I hope psychoanalysis is your hobby and not your profession. Those of us opposed to Romney are far more opposed to a nanny state than those who will support a Republican progressive to remove a Democrat progressive. We won't pull the lever for a progressive even if he has an R behind his name. In many ways supporting a nanny-state Republican is worse than supporting a nanny-state Democrat since the Republican will put the Republican seal of approval on the nanny-state proposals and institutionalize them so that the liberal gains will be permanent.
