Exactly. People are so eager and quick to swallow the hyperbole.
The same is true of RomneyCare. It was created by the legislature there, over 80% of which were liberal dems.
Romney’s ability to change it was limited, his ability to stop it was non-existant.
He worked with them and did modify it and made it better than it would have been...and he is apparently proud of that...but it was still nothing you or I could crow about or want.
It is really MassCare.
The state of Mass has really neutered the governor and made it almost impossible for the position to stand in the way of the legislature of the courts.
But Romney issues almost 300 vetoes and people should take a look at those and see what he tried to stop and what he tried to do better...even though that overwhelming legislature turned over almost all of them.
This does not mean at all that Romney was a “extreme” conservative by our definition. Perhaps by his in the environ he thought he was, but his record was moderate. I’ll tell you though, when you really research and examine his record it is clear he is nothiong remotely compared to Obama...no where even close.
Now he is running unfettered of all of that, says he has changed his positions and has a stance on the issues at his site that illustrates this, and he has been running on it for 6 years.
That is why, with a solid House and Senate with a bunch of new Tea Party reps, we will hold him to those commitments because they will work and turn the country around and he will be seen as a huge part of it...and be re-elected for another four years if he does. He is not an ideolog, he will want that to happen.
The very chance of that occurring to any measure is infinitelty better than four more of Obama
Why I will Support Romney if he is the GOP Nominee

Except what Jeff doesn't mention is that just under 4.5 years ago, Romney told Katie Couric 'twas "OK" for parents to "donate" their offspring to "research."
So much for Jeff Head's open distortion that Romney "has changed positions"...
Unless, of course, Jeff, you want to illustrate this in your own life...perhaps when your children & spouses become pregnant, you could advocate that they "donate" such a child "to research...".... Then you can come on board here with your "consistency" and tout how "pro-life" you are...
Truly pathetic...
