Why Romney Sucks

The fact is that Mitt Romney is an unprincipled chameleon with ZERO core beliefs... a synthetic, calculated opportunism has taken their place.
Meanwhile, most of what he actually has said and done betrays a Big-Government social liberal.

Other fun facts regarding this 'conservative' fraud's
past actions, positions, and failures:

• refused to endorse the 1994 GOP "Contract with America"

• distanced himself from the Reagan legacy: "I was an independent during the time of Reagan-Bush"

• lost GOP House seats in both Massachusetts elections of his tenure, 2004/2006 (leaving Republicans with the least # of seats there since the Civil War)  

• strongly supported gay rights until it was time to run for president in 2007

• helped raise money for Planned Parenthood

• passed over GOP lawyers for three-quarters (75%) of the 36 judicial vacancies he has faced as Governor, instead tapping registered Democrats or independents – including two gay lawyers who have supported expanded same-sex rights

• sold RomneyCare as a "conservative idea" even as it inflicted an unconstitutional mandate on Massachusetts residents and created a vast new bureaucracy

• claims he didn't raise taxes are based on deception: he had called them "fees" instead- and inflicted over 100 of them

• increased annual state fees by $500 million as governor and proposed two corporate tax increases totaling close to $400 million a year. 

• under Romney, Massachusetts manufacturing jobs declined at -14% -double the national average- while government employment jumped +7.2% and state spending increased +20.7%

• spoke repeatedly of his support for "strong gun laws" that "protect us"

• although not at all required to do so, Romney proclaimed a Massachusetts "Youth Gay Pride Day"

• When challenged by Fred Thompson in debate,  Romney said he "likes mandates" and "on the national level"

• Romney is an underhanded scumbag who sent "attack teams" out to politically damage perceived threat Sarah Palin

• RomneyCare has clearly failed, an unmitigated disaster that is rapidly bankrupting Massachusetts... same as ObamaCare will the nation if we allow it to fester.

This clip sums-it-up nicely

excellent

[Nonstatist]

He might get the nomination, which is the scary thing. I’d put his odds at 50-50.

[jaydee770]

Simply put, when comparing his current statements against his historical record, the man simply can not be trusted.

He is a political-prostitute. He can only be trusted to tell you what he thinks you want to hear. He is nothing more than a “Herb Tarlek” politician.

[laweeks]

No wonder the libtards want this fool to run against Obambi. I’m really surprised that he doesn’t run as a democrat. Romney is a good, solid, unrepentant liberal democrat. Get the hell out of our party.

Unfortunately, I agree with you. I'm hoping that awkward moment when he announces his campaign and everyone ignores it, because they have a patriotic conservative to watch instead, will change that perception. I suspect that's the point of Sarah's rapid progress to the north.

[Reaganite Republican]

That’s exactly what I’m railing against- we need to stop this clown, best I can do is make sure as many people as possible know what Flipper’s really all about- and it’s got nothing to do with conservative principles AT ALL

[Nonstatist]

In a truly crowded field, he’d be toast, IMO. But I think if it comes down to a 2 man race early (him and Palin?) , I’d say it’s 50-50. Take a look at the Primary schedule; you have the northeast states pretty early on, and so on.

[BobP]

You'll need a weathervane to determine which way Romney will stand on any given issue. Mitt will change his policies at any given moment depending on who is listening. Just too fake, plastic and untrustworthy.

Romneycare = Obamacare which = Big Government
Big Government = End of liberty = End of America
Repeal Obamacare
Repeal Romneycare

[Boiling point]

One way to give a third party a viable chance of winning is to have Romney as the Republican candidate.

[T.O.K.]

Thank you for sharing. I am not sure if you have an agenda or not, but it would seem that you have presented a lot of good facts that can be verified and I appreciate that. I am really starting to freak out about this 2012 election. We have no one to put our hope in.

[gogeo]

I supported Scott Brown for the "Kennedy seat" (sorry, that makes me giggle every time I say it.) I did so knowing that I could never support him for president...there's just no way a person could win statewide office in Massachusetts and be suitable for me.

Why would I think any differently of Romney? We're going to defeat the left by defunding the left and defunding government, and Romney is in no way the man to do that.

[Reaganite Republican]

Well put- you have to deal with the cards you’re dealt locally sometimes, I’ve lived in Blue States most of my life
