“Apply your own criteria to Mitt Romney.”

Romney is a text book example of the success you can achieve in our great free enterprise system. He is a very successful businessman, has raised a great family and is now pursuing public office not just to make money and a lust for power like the Clintons did. I don’t see anything socialist in the principles of his life. You can certainly make the argument that he is not conservative enough on some issues but he can hardly be labeled a socialist. Guliani and McCain are much bigger violators of conservative principles in both public and personal life.

Specifically his health care plan is hardly socialist unless you consider mandatory car insurance to be socialist as well

His personal life means nothing to me. What matters is public policy. And when it comes to public policy, it is hard to imagine a more liberal record than the one possessed by Mitt Romney.

Oh really.

Please enlighten us on why Mitt is running for president then, if not to fulfill his RINO daddy's dream of achieving the presidency?

Is Mitt running to uphold and promote the deep personal and philosophical convictions he just adopted in the last few months?

Mitt is running for Mitt's personal ambition and sense of royalty. He had a huge state-paid entourage as Mass governor, he's a child of entitlement, and as soon as he'd gotten what use he could out of Massachusetts, suckered people into voting for him once, he went around the country bad-mouthing the state to springboard himself into the most powerful office in the world.
