Your summation is a carbon copy of what I’ve been posting here on FR for months, only funnier.

Hopefully, many of these hardline Freepers can get past their angst and realize that Mitt Romney is the closest thing we have to a “Ronald Reagan Republican”, whatever THAT is.

For those who are under the false impression that Romney is this uber-liberal, I ask again: “Please name me the specific laws or legislation he passed that would categorize him even remotely close to being a liberal.

Romney was constantly being defended by the Mass ProLife groups, and a plethora of OTHER very conservative groups who paid much closer attention the I.

Thanks,

The female vote is hard enough for the GOP to capture as it is. There must be millions of ex-wives out there who lost their husband to a younger woman. Should that matter when voting for a president? No. But I tend to believe that emotion plays heavily in the female vote.

Here's the real problem. When something looks too good to be true, it usually is. I don't know what Thompson has in his closet (if anything), but if just one, just one gets out he's finished. That's how high the bar has been set that high for him.

What happens if I do not meet the mandate?

If you don’t have health insurance by Dec. 31, 2007, you will lose your personal income tax exemption for 2007. That exemption gives you a Massachusetts tax savings of approximately $219.

In 2008, the cost of the penalty goes up. The fine will equal half of the cost of the lowest-priced Health Connector-certified plan for each month that you don’t have coverage

Waivers will be available for those who cannot afford a plan that meets the rules. Check back for updates.

How is the mandate enforced? The Massachusetts Department of Revenue will enforce the individual mandate through the tax process.

There, does that do it for you genius?

Voters in Michigan wouldn't know a real conservative if one bit them on their asses.

Duncan Hunter on VoteMatch

Fred Thompson on VoteMatch

Rudy Giuliani on VoteMatch

Romney is about as liberal as Giuliani, just not as Libertarian (Populist leaning). Frankly, there's not much political difference between McPain's and McRomney's political ideology (both are 'bout as conservative as Giuliani - differing from him by their Populist leaning ideologies - he being more socially liberal, i.e., Libertarian). Thompson is more economically conservative, than McPain/McRomney, but share both their degree of social liberalism (or lack thereof). While Giuliani is as economically conservative as Thompson, he's more socially liberal than all three of them.

Hunter is as conservative as Kucinich is rabid frothing moonbat.

Frankly, I believe The RNC needs to be crystal clear that there may indeed be a very large silent majority come November. If the country elects Hillary, Obama or Edwards, then so be it (and the odius credit falls squarely upon the RNC's collective head).

For me I have to evaluate whether casting a vote for Giuliani's 50%, Romney's 48%, McPain's 45%, Huckaphoney's 40% or Paul's 28% agreement with my ideologies outweighs my detesting the 92% that Shrillery doesn't agree with me (and the Witch is at the top of the list with respect to the opposition).
