Oh, Myth Romney, how do I loathe you! Let me count the ways. (in no particular order)
10. TAXES: As the Governor of Massachusetts, you raised "fees" (taxes) by nearly $730 million. In fact, at a 2008 presidential debate, you said that it's appropriate for governments to charge fees and provide services. And, in 2007, at a campaign event in Iowa, you called flat taxes "unfair." (OnTheIssues.org/NewsMax)
9. HOMOSEXUAL AGENDA: In 1994, you favored allowing unabashed homosexuals to openly serve in the U.S. armed forces. You also favored allowing homosexuals to participate in the Boy Scouts, and you were endorsed by the Log Cabin Republicans. (OnTheIssues.org)
8. CLIMATE CHANGE: In 2008, you told CNN's Wolf Blitzer that "there’s nothing wrong with dealing with global warming." Of course, it's okay with you as long as it's done on a "global" scale. Oh, and in 2004, as Governor of Massachusetts, you introduced the Massachusetts Climate Protection Plan, a package of policies that acknowledged the existence of anthropogenic global warming. (John McCain for President via FR/OnTheIssues.org/The Boston Globe, 2004-05-07)
7. SECOND AMENDMENT: In 1994, you favored strong gun control laws. In 2009, however, somehow you managed to convince the NRA to let you address their annual conference. (OnTheIssues.org/KSWT CBS 13 Yuma, Ariz. via FR)
6. RIGHT TO LIFE: In 2002, during your campaign for Governor of Massachusetts, you pledged to “preserve and protect” a woman’s right to choose (abortion). Now, you claim to be staunchly pro-life. (Scripps via FR/OnTheIssues.org)
5. IMMIGRATION/AMNESTY: In April 2009, you said that the Republican Party needs to pass "immigration reform" (amnesty) in order to attract new voters. In a 2005 interview with The Boston Globe, you described the McCain-Kennedy "comprehensive immigration reform" bill as "reasonable." In 2007, you told The San Franciso Chronicle that illegal aliens needed to register with the government so that some could return home while others received legal status. (The Miami Herald via FR/OnTheIssues.org/The San Francisco Chronicle via FR)
4. MORE GOVERNMENT REGULATION: In April 2009, you told The Hill newspaper that: "We as Republicans misspeak when we say we don’t like regulation. We like modern, up-to-date dynamic regulation that is regularly reviewed, streamlined, modernized and effective." (The Hill via FR)
3. SOCIALIST ECONOMIC STIMULUS & FINANCIAL SERVICES BAILOUT: In January 2009, while Obama, Pelosi, and Reid were offering the now infamous Porkulus Maximus, you offered a smaller $250 million stimulus proposal. [McCain offered a slightly larger proposal of nearly $450 million.] Nonetheless, government intervention in the economy is decidedly contradictory to the conservative principles of small, limited, Constitutional government. Also, in September 2008, you told Michigan residents at an event there that the financial services bailout was absolutely necessary. (The New York Times/The Detroit Free Press)
2. OBAMACARE = ROMNEYCARE: your signature government-run health care is a dismal failure. Nonetheless, in May 2009, you cited it as one of your "best ideas," praised it in July 2009, and in May 2009 said that "the best path to healthcare reform is to let the American people make their own decisions, not have those decisions forced on them by government." [Never mind that Romney Care forced decisions on individuals residing in Massachusetts.] Oh, and your health care plan formed the basis for Obama's Socialist health care "reform." (The Daily News Record via FR/CATO/The Salt Lake Tribune via FR/The Boston Globe via FR/Fox News via FR/The Boston Globe via FR)
1. Jim Robinson refuses to support you. (FR)
In other words, Mr. Romney, you are a two-bit, flip-flopping, lying, Hispandering, Socialist-loving, globalist son of a (*$#%@. You are a RINO, a Socialist, and a traitor to these United States. Oh, and you praised Obama (CNN via FR) and attacked Palin (Politico via FR) at least once.
You suck. You shill for Obama. You're a younger, slicker, craftier, Mormon Juan McCain. You are too cuddly with the real RINO Juan McCain. Figures. RINOs of a feather flock together...in Rinonia!
Oh, and by the way, as you go down in flames in the 2012 GOP primaries, do us all a favor and take both of the McCains, Giuliani, Huckabee, Grahamnesty, and the rest of the %$(&%@@# anti-American RINOs with you.
If you think there is only one God, then you probably don't want people to know about the truth.
If you think tyou can become a god, then you probably don't want people to know about the truth.
You forgot point 13
Mitt will never overcome the vicious religious bigotry some so-called christian Conservatives seem to display.
For many, it was a killer right out of the gate.

Truer words have not been spoken. Well, at least on this thread.
No serving in the Military, the Romneys, ever.
Americans like their Presidents to have served. Even Al Gore, Jon Kerry got their tickets punched for a few months. Even non serving LBJ finagled a Silver Star.
But no Romney. Zero.
Why? Mormon Religion. or possibly three hundred years of family anti/non military values.
Instant, and forever disqualification.
“Mitt Romney, you Socialist RINO quisling, I will never vote for you.”
Romney is a faux conservative of the GWB spending variety. Thumbs down.
“What would I do if America was attacked? Well, first I’d consult my attorneys...”
Loser!
I’m MortMan, a middle-aged conservative, and I second your refusal to support Willard.
Just remember it was the Democrats who got McCain to win the Republican primary when they switched over, and that came from the Rushbo.
I’m going to vote for anybody who’s not Obama.
I think Einstein said it best ....
“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”.
For the most part, I agree with you.
But before the faith baiters start frothing at the mouth and screaming BIGOT or some other as(s)inine bullsh*t, I don’t give a rats patoot who or what he worships. He could be Bahá’í, Baptist, Buddhist or Branch Davidian and it wouldn’t matter to me.
romney is juan mcloon with better hair, he is just wrong for America and I want nothing to do with him.
Glad you included health care... how are Repubs continually duped by the Romney mystique?! He won as governor of MASSACHUSETTS, for Pete’s sake! Do they really believe that a conservative would ever win that post? He is not a conservative by any stretch of the imagination, yet Hannity, Rush, Coulter, and others seems to have tagged him as the next Reagan. Their ignorance is more frustrating than the lib dogma.
Hispanics that make it on their own, usually see conservatism as the right path to true independence.
What was the projected cost for Romney care when he sold the plan to the people of Mass, and what is the actual cost?
And you supported both McCain and Romney which is really worse.
See my post here. I think I should have ordered decaf this morning.

(lol)
Zot at 50.
Wow. I didn’t see that!
So. Not Romney. Not Huckabee. Not Gingrich. Who’s it gonna be in 2012? Somebody better come up with a name soon.
