That is why so many call Mitt Romney a "flip-flopper". Romney will take just about any political position if he thinks that it will help him. Mitt Romney's wife, Ann Romney, once made the following statement about her husband....

“He can argue any side of a question. And sometimes you think he’s really believing his argument, but he’s not.” So keep that in mind while reading the following information. Mitt Romney is trying to claim that he is a "conservative" and that he is looking out for the American people, but those claims simply are not true.

There are some zeros missing from that 16.

I’ve followed Romney for years, supported him in 2008 over McCain, and frankly, I think he’d be a good President.

That said, my biggest fears are:

1) Does he have the balls to do what is going to be required to defeat Obama and the MSM Media Machine behind him?

2) Does he have the balls to do what is going to be required to turn this economy around?

This is a far different environment than 2008 was, even with the messianic media worship of Obama. It’s now an atmosphere of HATE. Pure, unadulterated, Left and Media HATE.

Newt Gingrich might be a real son-of-a-bitch, but I think a real son-of-a-bitch is exactly what it’s going to take to defeat Obama, and do the hard things that are going to have to be done to turn things around. And he has a history of doing the hard things.

He may be exactly the right bastard, at exactly the right time, much like Winston Churchill was.

Sorry for the stark descriptions, but that is EXACTLY what it is, IMHO.

Ineligible Dog Abuser and Backstabber:
"Put this thing on the roof of our car."

MITT ROMNEY – ABUSER OF SEAMUS

Romney's bad behavior Exposed by Seamus

"Romney Loses Nomination Over Dog Abuse? - Romney was traveling that summer with his wife, five sons, and Seamus to his parent's cottage on Lake Huron. But hours into the ride, Seamus apparently suffered diarrhea, which ran down the back window of the car. .David Kravitz wrote on BlueMassGroup, a liberal blog. "It also strikes me as classic Romney: it solves a problem efficiently, in a business-like manner, and with no regard whatsoever for the suffering that the solution may cause."

"But the details of the event are more than unseemly - they may, in fact, be illegal. Massachusetts's animal cruelty laws specifically prohibit anyone from carrying an animal "in or upon a vehicle, or otherwise, in an unnecessarily cruel or inhuman manner or in a way and manner which might endanger the animal carried thereon. "An officer for the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals responded to a description of the situation saying "it's definitely something I'd want to check out." The officer, Nadia Branca, declined to give a definitive opinion on whether Romney broke the law but did note that it's against state law to have a dog in an open bed of a pick-up truck, and "if the dog was being carried in a way that endangers it, that would be illegal."


"Dog on Roof? What Was It Like for Romney's Pooch? - Scientists Say Dog Likely Experienced Wind-Whipped, Uncomfortable Trip - "Before beginning the drive, Mitt Romney put Seamus, the family's hulking Irish setter, in a dog carrier and attached it to the station wagon's roof rack. e'd built a windshield for the carrier, to make the ride more comfortable for the dog,".. Jordan Kaplan, the owner of Petaholics, a dog walking service in New York City,
and a lifelong dog owner and dog lover, said Romney's actions were uncalled for"


"Romney's dog - This is a distinction Mitt Romney probably could do without, but he is surely the first presidential candidate to be attacked for putting a dog with diarrhea in a carrier and tying it to the top of a station wagon. Romney's defense: Seamus liked it. [like the citizens under Romney's RomneyCARE, etc.?] "


"As the oldest son, Tagg Romney commandeered the way-back of the wagon, keeping his eyes fixed out the rear window, where he glimpsed the first sign of trouble. ''Dad!'' he yelled. ''Gross!'' A brown liquid was dripping down the back window, payback from an Irish setter who'd been riding on the roof in the wind for hours. As the rest of the boys joined in the howls of disgust, Romney coolly pulled off the highway and into a service station. There, he borrowed a hose, washed down Seamus and the car, then hopped back onto the highway."

"Story about dog on car roof comes back to bite Romney - 200 comments from readers complaining of animal cruelty"

“PolitickerNY has a report out Tuesday that
Seamus, the dog Romney famously put on the
roof of the car when the family drove to Canada in
1983, may have actually run away once the
Romneys reached the Great White North. As any
Gail Collins readers will know by now, a 2004
Boston Globe story revealed that Mitt Romney
strapped his dog's crate to the roof of the family
car, terrifying the pooch in the process. Though it
was intended as an illustration of Romney's quirky
crisis-management, pet lovers everywhere have let
it live on as evidence of candidate's cruelty.

PolitckerNY's Hunter Walker cites two anonymous
sources who say the Romney sons told reporters
off-the-record that Seamus actually ran away once
they reached Canada. Mitt Romney has said
Seamus lived long past that trip, and that he
enjoyed riding on top of the car, by way of
deflecting attacks from PETA and other animal
advocates. But expect this new development to
fuel the arguments of those who think the act was abusive.”

Most important election in my lifetime and with Romney as the nominee, once again the choice would be evil and lesser evil.

I just can't vote that way any more. I've been a dutiful, though unsatisfied, voter for all GOP presidential candidates since I was eligible to vote.

What I've learned about voting for lesser evil is you get what you vote for.

The only real differences between Romney and obama is not where they will take us, but how they'll get us there and they'll finance it.

One way or another, obama and the DNC are going to drag us kicking and screaming and throw us over the cliff and into the socialist pit.

Romney, like the Bushes, is all about kinder, gentler Progressive-ism.

They're really "Compassionate Progressives" who'll throw us into the same, but better managed Big Government utopian hell as the demonrats, but without our kicking and screaming. They want us to like the idea.

I think I'll pass.

Romney will never be POTUS as his nomination will hand the election to Obama just like McCain did in 2008 and Bob Dole handed the election to Clinton in 1996. So-called Moderate Republicans don’t have a chance as they stand for nothing and will not take the issues to their opponent least it seem uncivil or upsetting to other moderates.
