I’ll explain what exactly he offers Conservatives.

First he is a VERY effective communicator for our cause.

Romney has always been against McCain-Feingold.

Romney is tough on border security- He is endorsed by Tom Tancredo.

Romney is absolutely pro-life.

Romney is a devoted and moral family man who has been married to his wife for 39 years. He has 5 songs.
No worries about any scandals here.

Mitt is a proven leader. He weeded out corruption from the Olympic Games and saved them.

He governed in a very liberal state and put forth moderate ideas. You have to work with what you’re given.

It’s quite different from Huckabee. Huckabee raised taxes in a Conservative state. That took guts.. NOT

Thanks. But, What “five songs?” I lean to Palin but would not be upset with Mitt.

According to you, "Romney is absolutely pro-life." Well, let's look at that silly assertion. Do you consider it pro-life to offer embryonic aged humans for research as 'leftover' people? Romney does. So he's not actually 'absolutely pro-life now is he?

A May 2005 interview on Fox News illustrates the difficult path he's treading. Chris Wallace had Romney on a show with Boomer Esiason, a former NFL quarterback and proponent of embryonic stem cell research. After hearing Esiason make his case, Wallace turned to Romney.

"Let's talk first of all about the fact that you support the idea of using these embryos that are left over in fertility clinics and that would otherwise simply be thrown away," Wallace said.

Romney didn't directly address the point, saying that he draws the ethical line "in a very similar place" to that of Bush.

Wallace tried again: "But if I may ask you, governor, specifically, you don't see, as I understand it, the use of these leftover embryos in fertility clinics as destroying life?"

"That's right," Romney responded,

&

Romney spoke with CBS News about his views and host Katie Couric asked Romney to describe the kind of embryonic stem cell research he might support.

"So what kind of embryos -- embryos that are created for procreation and then would be discarded? Are those the ones that you feel are perfectly fine from which to cull cells for stem cell research?" Couric asked.

"Yes," Romney responded, "those embryos that are referred to commonly as surplus embryos from in-vitro fertilization."

Romney said he would first like to see human embryos adopted by families before put up for their destruction. However, he explained how he would have no problem with parents who want to allow those human embryos -- unique human beings -- to be destroyed for research.

"But if a parent decides they would want to donate one of those embryos for purposes of research, in my view, that's acceptable," he said. "It should not be made against the law."

His own words say differently.
