I’ve never thought of Mitt or Brown as conservatives. They are, always, ever bigger gov, go a bit slower, Fabian socialists.
How do you figure? In one four year term as Governor, with Brown's help in the state Senate, Romney instituted sodomite fake marriage, thoroughly homosexualized state government and the public schools, pushed through socialized medicine complete with $50 co-pay taxpayer-funded abortions, and banned guns. Among other things.
Near as I can tell, no one in American history has ever implemented socialism faster or more completely.
