Romneys real record...

Or is FR no longer valid for you?
Anyways, yes you are right Fred has flopped, so you don;t have to pay attention to him anymore.
You are free to support the seemingly popular slightly less RINO than Rudy (maybe) guy.
Your dedication to conservatism is noted...
If winning is the strongest principle one has ... well, my faith is draining more rapidly.
This is just more bs to push the top tier candidates that we don’t want.
BUT MITT’S A CONSERVTIVE!
HE SWEARS IT!
13.4% of Free Republic Members AGREE!
Massachusetts bleeds malignant liberalism. I know, I have worked there. One cannot get elected to a major political office in Massachusetts without the support of an enormous pot of filthy liberals. If Mitt got elected governor in Massachusetts, then he is hiding some serious stuff from conservatives. Game, set match.
From MassResistance:
Conclusion
For over ten years MassResistance has observed Mitt Romney and his actions. On issue after issue, Romney would search for a way to look like he was governing as a conservative, but in every case, the liberals would ultimately be the victors. He would double the money for programs that promoted homosexuality in the schools but then turn around and veto what he himself had allocated, knowing full well his veto would be overturned.
On the marriage issue, he made it look like he was "forced" into recognizing homosexual marriages, but he refused to pursue other options that would have rallied anti-gay marriage forces and perhaps turned this issue around.
He would issue statements critical of obscene pro-homosexual books and about the treatment of David Parker, yet it was the actions of his own agencies that created these controversies to begin with. Nor would he lift a finger to make internal changes to prevent his agencies from promoting the liberal agenda or reprimand any employees possibly engaged, for example, in illegal activities.
To any observer, his seemingly contradictory tactics and strategies looked as though he was preparing a "conservative track record" for his run for higher office. He has issued enough conservative sounding statements and engaged in enough "battles" with liberals (as fake as many of them were), that to an uninformed observer, it may look like he was an embattled conservative triumphing over the forces in liberalism in one of the most liberal states in America.
Both that's the myth his campaign staff wants to perpetrate. Any close observer will tell you that the pro-abortion and pro-homosexual forces never lost any battles under his tenure and that in fact, they grew in power and influence. Romney did nothing to restrain the groups who have launched a jihad on America's Judeo-Christian culture.
On so many occasions, the liberal agenda could have been slowed down or even defeated with the smallest internal regulatory decision or executive order and yet he never used the power he had to do that. He gave up the battlefield to our enemies over and over again.
This is why every conservative in America needs to question his overly hyped conversion to conservatism. How can we trust a man who has done so much damage to causes dear to our hearts who has suddenly become a conservative only after deciding to run for President?
Fourteen years ago the country was duped by a charming, smooth talking "moderate" Democrat named Bill Clinton who used the power of the Presidency to inflict great damage to America's military, to our intelligence agencies, and to our culture. The gap between how Clinton appeared to most Americans and how he really governed was huge. We cannot afford another President like that.
Maybe a pink Rambler? See #68

I know what MA is made of, I live here. My question is, how did he govern? He governed as a Conservative. Checkmate.
“Whoever the nominee is, we better get ready to unite, or else it’s Billary or B. Hussein for eight years.”
SAY IT AGAIN, BROTHER!!
FR poll? I am taling about the real poll, where Giuliani is ahead.
Mitt is the one whe can stop Rudy. If you want a more solid conservative who can also win, then perhaps Thompson should quit and endorse Mccain who atleast can stop Rudy in the elections.

This line of thinking is so warped it’s not really worth dissecting. Romney fought tooth and nail aginst an OVERWHELMING liberal legislature and court. The fact is his vetoes were overridden.
“If winning is the strongest principle one has ... well, my faith is draining more rapidly.”
Point taken. But at some point you need to consider voting for the most conservative candidate who actually has a chance of winning.

I bet if you freepmailed him you could get on the ping list.
Go read it...for yourself.
Well, how about this one: Romney didn’t do a darn thing about the sanctuary cities in his state while he was gov, even though he had federal law to back him up.
I will have no reservations about supporting Romney if he wins the nomination. However, I think that he has the lowest chances against HER possibly because of his Mormon faith. I am still solidly behind FDT for the nomination.I agree completely. Romney is not my guy but he's infinitely better than Hillary. In the meantime, I'll be working for Fred, who is definitely better than any other Republican other than Hunter (who unfortunately is going nowhere).
“Well, how about this one: Romney didn’t do a darn thing about the sanctuary cities in his state while he was gov, even though he had federal law to back him up.”
Wrong.
He authorized State Troopers to arrest illegal aliens on any vehicle violation or during any other arrest. This was overturned when Duval (D) was elected.
How can you have sides, without a middle?
