Funny, but Romney did the exact same things that Obama did, but Romney did them first. Obama simply followed the path laid out and made possible by by Romney, now our “last hope.”
How soon we forget how a real conservative conducts himself:

If only we could dig up Ronald Reagan and make him serve again. We can't. He is dead. We can only hope that Romney can save some vestige of the America Reagan left us. We know Obama wants to kill it
Romney never, ever would even win a honorable mention in a conservative beauty show. This is abundantly clear. He is only “conservative” in any sense relative to Barack Obama. Barack truly came out of nothingness, while Mitt has been busy governing — we know far, far more about Mitt.
I think people, consternated at the very poor choice available this November (if things go as expected in Tampa), are confusing two issues. Which of two bad politicians, each of which have more than a snowball’s chance of winning, is going to pose the least difficulty to America’s recovering some sense of what it used to be, the spirit in which it was founded. I think the vital question is being mischaracterized from that to the question of what would be the best way for America’s conservative side to keep its short term dignity intact.
I'd like to address this specifically, confessing I don't truly understand how that could be. Romney was busy giving lefty Massachusetts more or less what it had asked for. Obama didn't then proceed to beam into Massachusetts and give them more; he wished these kinds of things, largely extra-constitutionally (meaning outside the constitution) on the entire Ewe Essay, under the cover of a party-owned Senate which would never, ever be willing to convict him under an impeachment. Massachusetts didn't play any role in making any of the other 49 more willing to dork around with such things, as far as I can see.
And to call Romney a "last hope" mischaracterizes what is under consideration and debate here. He's a smaller hole in the boat than Obama. Given that bailers are needed no matter what, why not at least make their job less difficult. Give the real "last hopes" a better chance.
