Y’all have your minds made up, and appear to have decided that you will believe the worst of Romney no matter the evidence. I don’t believe the vetoes were calculated; I believe they were an attempt to turn the Mass. Legislature.
I also believe people can have a change of heart and beliefs, and this is a believable “conversion” story.
The facts are simple. Obama will push abortion and euthanasia, and will regulate accordingly. He will nominate judges accordingly. He will have nothing to lose as a lame duck President.
Romney, on the other hand, will have a lot to prove and everything to lose.
I’m encouraged by this story, yes. But the intractable opinions on this Board are great incentive for me to work for Romney, and against Obama.
2006 or 2008 must not happen again. We need to get out the vote and win the Senate and strengthen the House. I’d prefer a moderate over Obama in the White House and Executive Branch.
If you think Romney's a moderate, you'd better review his record again. Any liberal Democrat would be proud to have a record like that.
“2006 or 2008 must not happen again.”
2006 and 2008 occurred precisely because conservatives refused to hold the Republican Congress and the Bush administration accountable for massive spending increases.
And you don’t seem to have learned anything from that experience. There will be minimal opposition to a Romney administration from conservatives in Congress; there seems to be barely any opposition to Obama from R’s in Congress right now!! Under a Romney presidency R’s will want to be “team players” (recall Santorum’s admission in regards to supporting NCLB and the prescription drug plan) and will support whatever liberal or socialist trash Romney sends their way.
This obsession with winning the Presidency at all costs harms the Republic. We need to focus on electing honest constitutionalists as Governors, state legislators and in Congress, real public servants who will be willing to nullify unconstitutional federal legislation.
