Your entire reply is completely destructive. Of the remaining candidates, Romney stands waist-up above the rest.
"Is going back and forth on abortion a "conservative" value?"
He didn't "go back and forth," he changed once, for the better by far.
"Is going back and forth on the 2nd amendment conservative?"
Again you lie with your question. He worked with the NRA to get the best possible result that could have come out of the very statist Massachusetts legislature. The resultant bill was a huge improvement.
"Is being a backer of the Brady Bill conservative?"
Not in my opinion, but millions of people that consider themselves conservative support the Brady bill to some extent. Romney has proven himself not to be a big supporter of gun laws, but you can keep on lying if you wish.
"Is having a socialistic mandatory health care plan that is endorsed by Ted Kennedy conservative?"
There you go again. The bill that he was able to craft together greatly weakened what the legislature intended. It resulted in retention of normal private medical practice in the state, and that was not what would have happened had he not been governor.
You are a liar, and you know it. You are working against all of us by throwing your bombs at the only viable candidate.
These Romney haters did more to destroy the best chance conservatives had in '08 than Hillary ever could in her wildest wet dreams.
Last summer, when Romney was moving up in the polls, I had high hopes for the Republican victory in '08
I looked foreward to Romney, as the smart conservative/Republican spokesman, being able to articulate the benefits of good moral conservative living.
Romney could talk circles around these empty-platitude Democrats, and the media knew it.
Then these bomb-throwing Romney haters launched a smarmy hit-piece after hit piece (based on 15-year-old snippets from ONE FREAKIN debate in 1994) and eventually convinced just enough Republicans to be leery and fearful of a Romney candidacy.
Not to mention the rabid Mormon haters ... which would never be tolerated in conservative circles if it was say, Judiasm or Catholics, or Methodists, or any other religion. (except muslim, of course)
Thanks to empty headed conservatives, we ended up with McCain... the oldest most boring Washington insider of the past 30 years.
The conservative wing desparately needed new blood.
The Romney haters took that new blood and dumped it on the ground out of spite.
No he didn't just change once, you obviously did not look very closely at his record. No wonder you guys think he is a conservative. Look at the links posted last night.
"Again you lie with your question. He worked with the NRA to get the best possible result that could have come out of the very statist Massachusetts legislature. The resultant bill was a huge improvement."
Hey, if you want to support someone who backed the Brady Bill, go ahead. And even though he is now saying he's "for the second amendment", he apparently still supports the assault weapons ban, although it's hard to tell, because he's good at speaking out of two sides of his mouth.
"There you go again. The bill that he was able to craft together greatly weakened what the legislature intended. It resulted in retention of normal private medical practice in the state, and that was not what would have happened had he not been governor."
So he doesn't have a mandatory health care plan that provides government-funded abortions? You can defend it all you want, if you like it. But your slick talk just dances around the question. No wonder you like him, you're a slick talker just like him.
"You are a liar, and you know it. You are working against all of us by throwing your bombs at the only viable candidate."
BS, and for you to accuse me of that says more about you, especially when you are defending someone who has been caught in numerous lies, stretches of the truth or "misstatements". Like the other 'mittheads' you have convinced yourself that he is a conservative, perhaps out of desperation to find someone, ANYONE to get behind. He is a phony, that is my view. But if you want to believe a man who is not only a flip-flopper but someone who has shown himself to be habitually dishonest, then go right ahead. People did the same thing with Clinton.
