"He sure does. His record tells me that he'd be the most liberal POTUS in the history of the republic.
ROLFLMAO!!!!
Does anybody here take you even remotely seriously?
If so, do them a favor, and tell them to go back and graduate from the 4th grade first."
Indeed. Statements like that simply detract from the efficacy of Romney detractors, by publicly announcing their capacity to make histrionic, hyperbolic, inane, and absurd arguments. People who think that Romney is more liberal then Carter, Clinton, FDR, Wilson, and Johnson simply don't deserve to be taken seriously. On any issue. They've drifted into a land of such remarkable fantasy, they're seemingly unable to enage with facts or logic.
Dear Obilisk18,
Sorry, on social issues, he may have tinkered around the edges, but up until his recent conversions, he was, at best, a moderate liberal.
Being willing to tinker with some of the life issues is nice, but no credit is given to any politician who is fundamentally a pro-abort. Mr. Romney himself admits that he was a pro-abort up until 2004 or 2005.
"And, perhaps most significantly, he played the lead role in advancing the anti-gay marriage ballot proposition which is now but one step from appearing on the 2008 ballot."
But again, first he was for ENDA (special rights for homosexuals), now he's against it.
The problem is that in a state like Massachusetts, even the "right" side of the debate is deeply liberal. Thus, on life issues, the fundamental premise of issues like cloning, plan B, etc., is that nonetheless, the Constitution guarantees to women a general right to procure the murder of their unborn children. He accepted that fundamental premise up until, by his own admission, 2004 or 2005.
As well, I believe that once the plan B contraceptive stuff was passed, he refused to acknowledge a conscience exemption for Catholic hospitals and health care workers. This came AFTER his alleged "conversion." Not very pro-life of him, huh?
I think the man is a damned phoney.
It is becoming less and less likely that I will vote for him should he be the Republican nominee for president.

:applause:
Please consider the source ! Its a hit piece by the leftist rag , the Boston Globe. These socialist has hated Romney for ever becuase he is a republican and really hate him because he would openly mock and challenge the dems with press passes in the Boston Pravda press! Ignore anything from these leftists spin out.
I don't support Romney. But your claim that he would be the most liberal POTUS in the history of the republic is ignorant and ridiculous in the extreme.
#12...Bingo!
Really? How many politicians do you know who could have used their executive power to push through both gay marriage AND socialized medicine? Think they could have pulled it off without a deceptive (R) by their name? I don't.
The bottom line - As Bubbas mentor at Georgetown stated & I parphrase, Our goal is to elect a leader each election that is basically the same as the prior leader & this keeps the government in sinc. Now what type of government is this supposed to. The elites that own the parties do not want a true conservative agenda to flourish ergo the ONLY elected types that can make it in this corrupt "Two-Party Cartel" are liberal deep down & try to fake it to the sheeple as conservative. Currently because many have turned into liberals via public scrools (as RUSH calls them)& because the sheeple are dumbed down to the fact that no 3rd party can win we will continue to go as Rome did & become a loser liberal nation.
Is that your favorite website?
Your hyperbolic nonsense rots on the vine, for all to see.
Climb down off the limb.
Calm down. Keyes will enter the race and you will have your perfect candidate: the one percenter.
...the one-tenth of a percenter....
No, but it has roughly the same amount of credibility as the websites you posted.
"Really? How many politicians do you know who could have used their executive power to push through both gay marriage AND socialized medicine? Think they could have pulled it off without a deceptive (R) by their name? I don't."
Didn't happen. Explaining this to you is becoming tedious.

And, again, Romney's plan is nothing like socialized medicine. We now have conservative stalwarts like Jim Demint calling it an acceptable plan.
Are the quotes accurate. If so, they are damning. Period.
I stand corrected. Thank you, Petronski!
Could be worse, by the way: he might come out in support of slave reparations.
You are making the unfortunate mistake of trying to talk reasonably to EV.
You are right of course, but it's not going to go anywhere.
