For clarification: I never said that Romney was more conservative but that his worldview MAY be. I define Conservatism as using government power only when absolutely necessary and allowing private citizens to meet other needs through the free market.
I don't think Mitt would first approach things from the standpoint of "What can government power do to solve ?" even though he will likely be brought around to that in the end. I believe Newt would use that approach first rather than last.
I may be splitting hairs but I do see a distinction there.
I think either Newt or Mitt would be a disaster for the country, and the Conservative movement, as they would be seen as Conservative even though they are not. That is probably a moot point though, because I think they would each guarantee a second term for the Kenyan Destroyer and we'd all be wearing Mao suits by the end of 2013
You are splitting hairs. It’s ok, I like to do that myself from time to time. I sure hope you don’t think Rick S. or Rick P. can be Obama. There is no hair to split there, it is a big NO. I think you choice is between Newt or Mitt. I choose Newt. The kenyan will be hard to beat either way.
