There is no chance he gets my vote in the primary and a 50/50 chance I would hold my nose and vote for him in the general. A terrible candidate and a RINO. Someone like him or Rudi would splinter our base into a million pieces.
Many moons ago, as a young skull full of mush, I thought abortion "liberalization" was a great thing. Now I realize how terrible it was.
People should be allowed to change their positions if they articulate valid reasons for doing so.
This does not in and of itself constitute flip-flopping.
Romney, like President Bush, supports the assault weapons ban. I don't know whether he still supports the Brady Bill, but labeling him a RINO is not constructive. I wish people would reserve judgement until more is known about the platform these candidates are running on, before trying to destroy their candidacy.
Yes, the Boston Globe is out to knock him off.
Could this be because he's the candidate most likely to defeat their favorite Democrat?

I am by no means in the Romney camp, but I would just caution everyone to be vigilant whenever an unAmerican marxist publication starts complaining about a Republican not being conservative enough.
I saw Ann Coulter say she likes Romney. I think we're scraping the bottom of the bucket.
Good grief people, let's do what we always tell others to do: don't listen to the rhetoric, he was trying to get elected in the most liberal state in the nation, listen to the record.
And his record as Governor is very, very good.
Some FReepers don't trust Romney's conviction or motives and maybe never will. However, I'll give Mitt Romney the benefit of the doubt until I see evidence of a hard turn to the left in a reversal from his current direction toward the light.
I hope Romney is the real deal because he is an exceptionally engaging, articulate, intelligent, and telegenic messenger for the GOP and conservative cause. We will need all of that in our candidate for President in 2008 because it's going to be the most difficult election environment for conservatives since 1964 in my opinion.
He's our John Kerry. And if he gets the nomination (God forbid), I predict he'll do the same thing in the general election---lose.
To me this guy is starting to sound like a new Herbert Walker Bush, a decent enough, competent enough man, with no firm beliefs.
For those of us that remember how bad Herbert Bush was, we know it is much worse than people say, because the quality of the personal man makes it too hard to vent on him, in the way that he really deserves.
One reason to support Mitt Romney

Let's turn our attentions to the following, instead of faulting each other.....
Mitt Romney is the devil himself, and the church has been working for forty years to elect one of its own to the highest office of this country, while trying to keep things hush hush about its practices of plural and child marriage... mitt romney's temple vows are to uphold plural (child) marriage in heaven, even if prevented from doing so on earth. These are the people who oppose gay marriage too, by the way, I believe as a red herring to keep their own version of 72 virgins in heaven (multiple wives) out of the public eye. They began their anti gay marriage drive when women polygamists starting speaking up about the reality of living in Utah and Wyoming and anywhere else in the west where mormons rule. I believe they oppose gay marriage because the term CONSENTING ADULTS would be in its definition, thereby committing to law that to marry a MINOR would for once be a punishable infraction in Mormon held states. Mormons still want to marry their youngest nieces, ( age 8 ) exactly like their taliban twins do. The Mormons are the most fundamental of all the fundamentalists on earth.. they put the MENTAL in fundamental...Only fifteen years ago they agreed that blacks are human and they still think that all jews need to die to bring christ's return... a horrifying hoax of a crusade against islam and judaism, and actually christianity too... they own almost all of ITT, almost every insurance company in america, and thousands upon thousands of companies that give money to anti-feminist anti democratic groups in this country and around the world. Their worst nightmare is equality and birth control for women. They believe that they are called to "save" America from jews, gays, and leftists. They gave the most money to the evangelical movement, which was spawned by their experiments on gay boys at byu in the 60-70's...watch clockwork orange, this is what they did to gay boys... and they also kick out their gay sons at age 13 to live on the streets, where a large majority end up as child prostitutes..(according to some of them, their biggest clientele is Mormon men).. It is the sickest thing on this earth, and if that was not enough, most of the aryan nations and american nazi movements are manned by mormons too.
Spread the mitt romney word, because it will really be too late if he is allowed to go mainstream any more than he has already.
If she's against him, he must be doing something right.
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.
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.
He is a Massachusetts elected politician for gosh sakes. There is no way he could be anything but RADICAL LIBERAL. At best he is hiding in the closet trying to lure conservatives like other good RINOs.
Y'all got it wrong. The question is "Is this guy a conservative?" Then answer, obviously, is "NO."
Of course the Republibots will be along shortly to tell us that we should vote for any candidate the GOP puts in front us, we're never going to find a perfect candidate, conservatives can't win, yadayadayada...
I'll agree we'll never find a perfect candidate, but couldn't we at least find a decent one?
Mitt Romney is a liberal.. meaning moron.. slightly smarter than Al Gore..
Of course he's a Rebublican. A check-pants country club republican just like the rest of the Romneys and the Bush's.
