Liberal Republican Mitt Romney was unelectable. He proved that by not getting elected.

That's deep, man. Too bad it doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

Even liberal Romney

Romney wasn't a liberal. He just wasn't as pure of a conservative as many of us would have liked. What is undeniably true at this point -- and it doesn't take any hand-wavy twists of logic to understand it -- is that he would have been far better for the country than the current abomination.

Nope, he's a liberal. I have had a fairly simple test for years to determine who I will and won't for.

The potential candidate that can get my vote will be for/have:

Pro-second amendment
For privatized medicine
Pro-life only
For smaller government
For legal immigration only

Romney doesn't meet any of those simple, conservative tests, so he is a liberal, regardless of how liberal republicans want to compromise.

He couldn't get the vote of conservatives because he wasn't conservative.

Lots of delusion going on that he was somehow conservative, and he wasn't.

I and many others won't vote for a liberal republican. No matter how much people tell us 'the other guy is worse'

A liberal is a liberal is a liberal. You can tell by what they do, not what they say.

That's the reason he's only won election one time since he started his political career.

He's a liberal.

Liberal republicans are un-electable.

Romney wasn't a liberal.

As governor, Mitt Romney:

Instituted socialized medicine.

Instituted $50 co-pay taxpayer-funded abortions.

Instituted so-called "gay marriage" by executive fiat.

Completely homosexualized state government and the public schools.

Permanently banned scary-looking "assault" weapons.

That's a partial list of his "accomplishments."

As a businessman Mitt Romney owned the controlling shares in an enterprise, Stericycle, that makes its money disposing of the broken, mangled, dismembered bodies of innocent babies murdered by abortionists.

If that ain't a liberal, there is no such thing.

Romney would have seen the following pushed through:

* Government Run Healthcare

* Comprehensive Immigration Reform (Massive Amnesty)

* Gun Control

* Normalization of Homosexuality; Same-Sex Marriage

* Crack Down on Conservative Dissent

Romney would have been harder to oppose than a democrat President. It is very likely that republicans would not hold the majorities in Congress and the clear substantial majorities in statehouses that they do today had Romney been elected.

Romney would likely have increased cronyism and let corporate oligarchs gain an even stronger hand than they do now.

Romney would have faced tough race relations and he may have also allowed government takeover of the internet if the large oligarchical interests had persuaded him to do so. He would likely also have considered and supported control on ammunition and Choke Point tactics to get power over gun dealers.

One thing is clear, if a conservative were to soeak up against a President Romney, he would not be around for much longer. Romney’s people were vicious to voices of dissent coming from Conservatives.
