“If someone had suggested a year ago and a half ago that we would be welcoming Mitt Romney as a potential leader of the conservative movement, no one would have believed it,” Mr. Keene said to open the meeting. “But over the last year and a half, he has convinced us he is one of us and walks with us.”
He convinced me too. I was a Thompson guy until he got out, but Mitt Romney is a leader and is embracing conservatism. OK, there have been inconsistent policies on some cultural issues (show me a politician who hasn’t used epediency). Romney is guilty of expediency to get elected in uber liberal Massachusetts. Give the man a chance. Listen to him over the next several years.
