I’m not looking to debate you on Romney, but I’d be interested in knowing why you classify him as a”RINO.” Do you have litmus tests, or are you interested in fielding the best candidate?

All you have to do is look at political record when he was governor.

[Keith Brown]

Romney is for gun control

And he made slaves of the citizens of massachusetts to the insurance industry.

Is that enough?

I’d be interested in knowing why you classify him as a”RINO.”

The Real Romney

Romney care.

Do you have litmus tests, or are you interested in fielding the best candidate?

You think Slick Willard is the best candidate, huh?

Confirms exactly what I've suspected about you all along...

“Do you have litmus tests, or are you interested in fielding the best candidate?”

Both. The litmus test for 2012 is that the candidate must be a constitutional conservative. In 2012, the litmus test also requires that we nominate the most charismatic candidate, the most gifted politician, and the best leader.

Mitt Romney fails both tests miserably. He is a liberal, spineless weasel, and he has as much charisma as a bowl of Boston clam chowder.

Guess who passes both tests.

I watched the clown debate Teddy Kennedy in 1994. He tried to outlib the king lib. He was more for Roe v Wade than Kennedy, and on and on. The loser couldn't get elected during a Republican title wave. When he later won the governor's seat, he passed a rotten health care bill.

Romney is generally for something before he's against it. "Litmus test” is a liberal premise often used by the media. They accused Reagan of having them and then just shrugged when Clinton actually proposed being pro-choice as a litmus test for Supreme Court justices.

You like Romney, fine. You and ABC news...He's a weasel, another McCain, and he will get beat just as bad if the Stupid Party nominates him.

[Leisler]

Why would a apolitical, dime a dozen, ticket punching, flip flooping, Harvard cheese weasel lawyer who has no idea of what America is about, be the best choice?

[ejonesie22]

There is noting to debate about Romney. he is a socialist pig and his health care plan, which he still hails as a success nails the debate closed.

SO at least you are wise enough to save your self the heartache.

“I’m not looking to debate you on Romney, but I’d be interested in knowing why you classify him as a”RINO.””

He’s sure as hell not a conservative - That pretty much makes him a RINO.

[stockpirate]

Anyone that has to ask why we consider Mitt-witt a RINO is too far to the left to understand.

He is against gun rights, pro-choice, supports nationalized healthcare.

Romney disqualified himself for the republican nomination by allowing or urging the daily slander of Sarah Palin from August 29, 2008 to the present by his campaign workers that went to work for the McCain campaign or to work for CNN, Fox, MSNBC, ABC, CBS. He lost me in the May 2007 MSNBC debate when he told chris matthews that it was wrong for Bush/congress to intervene to rescue Terri Schiavo. And that he was proud that he denied a pardon of a Mass. soldier, recently back from a tour in Iraq, that wanted to clear his record of an offense committed as a 13 year-old(shooting a BB gun accidentally hitting a friend in the face) so he could be eligible to apply for a job as a policeman. But Romney, whose 5 sons never served in the military, even after Sept. 11, 2001, even though they were all still age eligible, denied this soldier a pardon. Also said he was against Reagan tax policies in the ‘80’s and ‘90’s but then claimed to be supportive during 2008 campaign. There are actually sychophants out there claiming Romney is an “up from his bootstraps guy that built a business from scratch”. He’s a soft-handed silver-spoon that was given 36 millon dollars by his Dad when he graduated business school. He’s pro-abortion. His wife is a stridently pro-abortion. His mother was the same way. He’s donated money to planned parenthood and other abortion mills. He then during the 2008 campaign claimed he was pro-life. Romney is intrinsically dishonest. If you want to understand how he made money, study a man named Al Dunlap. There's much more.

ARE YOU OUT TO LUNCH? It was Mitt who gave Massachusetts RomneyCare.

“The Best candidate” can only be one who passes the litmus test of not being a RINO disaster.
