Ma’am, we’re all here against Romney for no other reason than he’s a self-confessed liberal.

If you won’t believe any of us, maybe you’ll believe Mitt Romney himself.

The following is an interview he did with CNN in 2002.

I hate to say it, but it was an honest moment during a time when being a conservative didn’t mean as much as it does today.

If you take him at his word in this, and look at his record, it fits. The actions fit the words.

Now, if you think elections change people, and that the office changes scoundrels into patriots, then there really is nothing left to say.

The only thing that changes scoundrels into patriots are hagiographers. FDR’s my personal favorite. In 1931 and 1932 he ordered all the gold be sold back to the USG for $20.67. Not a month after he passed the order, he turned around and sold it to France for $35/ounce. He cleared $69MM on the backs of people in the midst of a depression and trying to follow the law. Add about 1200 percent inflation and it’s a tidy sum. A real man of the people, FDR.

It’s ironic that SCOTUS is about to discuss dismantling Obama’s ramshackle plan for utopia in much the same way SCOTUS set FDR back on his. He even tried to pack to court before he did it too. He made Bill Clinton look like a choirboy.

Not to worry, Bill will look like St. John Bosco in another couple of generations.

I pray they dismantle Obamacare for I fear the politicians are so fickle they will wilt when it comes time for a vote. so many of them have skeletons in the closet that they are worthless to us.
I wish we had time to clean out congress first and then concentrate on the WH. That is not the case. An evil man is in our WH and we have to get him out.
Even if Romney is as liberal as you “say” he is, he is not evil and would be a big improvement from BO.

I believe the answer to all this is the Tea Party. We should have all gotten behind it more and kept the marches going constantly to DC to show that the working people won’t put up with this debt. But, alas too many of us sit back and expect others to do our work.

We *will* sacrifice one way or another. Which is worse, letting Obama take away our freedoms daily or working hard to defeat him? We have a choice now, after we let him win, we won’t have that choice.
