Mitt Roment has supported so-called "assault weapons" bans as Governor of the most liberal state in the country. The Supreme Court has ruled that it is constitutional for individual states make their own rules on these things, just as it was constitutional for the Sheriff to require men to check their guns when they rode into town. Laws like the assault weapons obviously don't accomplish anything, but Romeny's electorate overwhelmingly supported this one. I don't agree with this one, but it's clearly not the same thing as supporting "gun control" is it is known as a political issue.
And he made slaves of the citizens of massachusetts to the insurance industry.
Mitt Romney signed a health care bill into law in liberal Massachussets, just as Ronald Reagan signed an abortion bill into law in California. The state of Massachusetts is about 20% Republican voters. A Romney veto would have been overriden. He did veto eight provisions, including ones specificially for immigrants not covered by federal plans, but those vetos were overriden. In the end, he did not run against the bill (like Scott Brown) did, so he had no mandate to veto it. The main provision of the bill was tax breaks for those who had insurance, penalties (by way of loss of those tax breaks)for those who could afford it, but remained uninsured, and assistance for those who could not afford insurance. It is not bankrupting the peopel of Massachussetts, but it was never Romney's plan, so how is he "making made slaves of the citizens of massachusetts to the insurance industry?"
Sorry, Presidio, you are in the minority here. Most of us realized long ago that Mitt Romney was no conservative. the only thing that made him quasi-viable in 2008 was the absence of a conservative alternative (I exclude Fred Thompson who waited too long and whose heart was not in it).
This time, we have not only a conservative alternative, but THE conservative alternative, a supremely savvy and talented politician who has courage and conviction. It won’t be close. The conservative majority is stirring and it is going to put a conservative in the White House. No more Bushes, McCains, Doles or Romneys. We are taking back the GOP. And the White House. In that order.
Damn, just damn...
Stop with the verbal spaghetti.
He voted for slavery.
He supports gun control.
How is that upholding and defending the constitution?
