a little video that I put together.

I've seen your videos ad naseum. That's all you Romney haters got... a little one sentence snippet of something from 20 years ago taken out of context.

The NRA generally supported Romney, so he wasn't this big gun grabber you claim.

Despite my thoughts or yours regarding guns, many conservatives thought there was a some good to come from the gun legislation Romney signed in Massachusetts.

Also, Romney didn't "raise" income taxes, or sales taxes, or any other of the more confiscatory taxes in Massachusetts or anywhere else.

He did what EVERY single Governor in America does (did) occasionally, even the most hard right conservative.

They update the fees charged for various things... drivers licenses, fees for filing paperwork, permit fees.... to keep in line with inflation and make them commensurate with technology and productivity.

"aligned with CFR" .. that's a new one, and what the heck does it mean. That he doesn't hate the group passionately like you? Another meaningless platitude of Romney hatred based on your perception with no facts to back it up.

And lastly, Romney's health care proposal does give me some pause, although it is NOT government run healthcare like Romney haters claim.

It basically had the state negotiate with private health care companies to provide group rates and bulk rates to individuals ... so the average person could buy catastrophic health insurance at a much reduced price.

Yes, there is a fee or penalty for those who don't have insurance, just like mandated automobile insurance.

Atill, the state doesn't run the health plans like MediCaid or MediCare.... which by the way are government run health plans supported and funded by every single conservative in America.

In fact, the research so far are showing that there are LESS freeloaders in Massachusetts NOW dumping their emergency room and catastrophic health care bills on MediCaid, like had been happening prior to this bill.

Whether you want to believe it or not, many many middle and upper class people refuse to buy health care insurance.... but then have NO RELUCTANCE to dump their big hospital bills on MediCare rather than give up their savings or stock accounts.

I see it here in Pennsylvania all the time. People simply transfer their assets to a family member or whomever, and claim they are too poor to pay.

My former in laws did it.... and it drove me nuts.

They said.. "oh, the state can afford to pay for my kids health insurance. What's the big deal?"

As for the Democrat judges, that is also meaningless unless you provide specifics. Most judges are cross-filed both Rep and Dem, and many Republicans are liberals and many Dems are conservatives.

Do you really think that Limbaugh, Tancredo, Coulter, Weyrich, DeMint, Santorum, Dobson and the hundreds of other rock solid conservatives are hallucinating in their support of Romney, and that YOU are the only one with insider truth?

I think not, my friend.

I stopped listening to Rush Limbaugh ages ago, because he is a Bush/Rockefeller Republican. I lost respect for Tancredo when he endorsed Flip. And I don't care what Coulter says anymore, just the other day she gave Hillary all sorts of compliments. Most of those people are establishment Republicans. Unlike you apparently, I'm not very happy with the establishment/status-quo.

If you can ignore all that AND (which you failed to discuss) his character problems, then obviously you've convinced yourself and nothing will change your mind. Oh well, some people need to learn things the hard way.
