Address Romney's liberalism as posted in 1534.
I’m a conservative, I’m not crazy about Romney’s positions on some issues, but compared to Obama and the possible loss of the Country as we know it? I’ll vote for him just like Palin, Bachmann, Santorum, Newt and the Tea Party will because there’s too much at stake. I’ll vote for Conservatives for the Senate and the House and on the local level, and just hope that my Senator will be a conservative to keep the President whomever he is in check.
You are saying that Romney is a liberal based on the words of two other people. What you are crying about in the first scenario, the infamous “Etch-a-Sketch” comment is a basic reality of political campaigns. You differentiate yourself from mostly like-minded individuals in the primary. You are targeting like-minded voters. In the general election, you are campaigning against somebody who is not like-minded, and you are trying to gain the votes of the entire country and not just like-minded individuals. That’s common sense. Also, neither Romney nor his advisor said anything about “erasing his conservative positions.” What they said was that they would take a different approach, which is, you know, what every single candidate does.
Second, this just takes a quote from Norm Coleman (who is now a “Romney advisor”) and pretends that not only has Romney said it, he fully supports it. Of course, Romney has been campaigning against it the entire time. Being “advised” to do something doesn’t mean you’ll do it and it certainly doesn’t mean you think it’s a good idea.
God gave you a brain. Use it.
