Because he's a liberal, right?

A few Freepers banging the Mitt is a liberal drum doesn't make Romney a liberal. In exit polls for every Republican primary (such as CA's below), for actual GOP voters, Romney was the overwhelming choice of the very conservatives. You are pitting your opinion against the ballots of tens of thousands of very conservative voters. Either you or they are fools; I'll go with the former.

Since when did Conservatives dictatorially impose
socialized medcine, gay marriage, coverup of criminal actions,
and then use fake badges? I think NEVER.

Go back and read my post, and you'll see I was referring to Barack Obama as a liberal.

I'll go with the person who demonstrates an inability to read in context.

Less Liberal states selected someone else, usually Huckabee, as the first choice among Conservative voters. The fact that you had to use the exit poll from California might be a clue to what many think of Romney.

The funny thing about the exit polls that I read was that the second choice of the great majority of Huckabee voters in the primaries was McCain. I don’t think it was Huckabee that put McCain in. Rather, and this pains me greatly to say it, Thompson’s entry put McCain into the winner’s seat. I supported Thompson as the best choice, but he allowed himself to be painted as pro-abortion and lazy.

In the interest of full disclosure, I switched to Huckabee after Thompson. He was more Conservative than either McCain or Romney, but that is not saying much. He did have a good history in neighboring Arkansas, and with FR, in spite of some of the goofiness he spouted in the campaign.
