BS. Go read the voluminous materials at the link I provided. Willard Mitt got more of the Left's agenda through in MA than any Democrat could have ever dreamed of implementing. He's an utter fraud, and every conservative who doesn't willfully have blinders on is figuring that out.
I can only think of one politician that was a slicker liar than Romney, and his initials are WJC.

McCain Attacks Christian Leaders:
In A Blistering 2000 Speech, McCain Attacked Christian Conservatives. "Taking his presidential campaign to a stronghold of Christian conservatism, Senator John McCain of Arizona delivered a harsh attack today on the 'self-appointed leaders' of the religious right, depicting them as intolerant empire builders who 'have turned good causes into businesses' while trying to exclude all but 'card-carrying Republicans' from the party." (David Barstow, "McCain Denounces Political Tactics Of Christian Right," The New York Times, 2/29/00)

"Mr. McCain singled out for criticism two of the Christian right's best-known leaders, Pat Robertson, the founder of the Christian Coalition, and the Rev. Jerry Falwell, the founder of the Moral Majority. He compared Mr. Robertson to 'union bosses who have subordinated the interests of working families to their own ambitions,' and he accused both men of trying to distort his opposition to abortion and 'smear the reputations of my supporters.'" (David Barstow, "McCain Denounces Political Tactics Of Christian Right," The New York Times, 2/29/00)
McCain Condemned Evangelical Leaders As "Corrupting Influences." "'The politics of division and slander are not our values,' Mr. McCain said in a somber address to some 4,000 people who packed a high school gymnasium here only a few miles from the headquarters of the Christian Coalition.

(David Barstow, "McCain Denounces Political Tactics Of Christian Right," The New York Times, 2/29/00)
McCain Compared Falwell And Robertson To Farrakhan, Calling Them "Agents Of Intolerance." "'Neither party,' Mr. McCain said in his speech, 'should be defined by pandering to the outer reaches of American politics and the agents of intolerance, whether they be Louis Farrakhan or Al Sharpton on the left, or Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell on the right.'" (David Barstow, "McCain Denounces Political Tactics Of Christian Right," The New York Times, 2/29/00)

(David Barstow, "McCain Denounces Political Tactics Of Christian Right," The New York Times, 2/29/00)

(Kevin Sack, "Remarks Rally Christian Right Against McCain," The New York Times, 3/3/00)

McCain Won't Talk Straight About Creation Or Intelligent Design. "Nor, presumably, was it straight talk last summer at an Aspen Institute discussion when McCain struggled to articulate his position on the teaching of intelligent design in public schools. At first, according to two people who were present, McCain said he believed that intelligent design, which proponents portray as a more intellectually respectable version of biblical creationism, should be taught in science classes. But then, in the face of intense skepticism from his listeners, he kept modifying his views—going into reverse evolution." (Todd S. Purdum, "Prisoner Of Conscience," Vanity Fair, 2/07)
George Will: McCain-Feingold Legislation Helped Democrats. George Will: "[I]n 2004 Democrats were more successful than Republicans in using so-called 527 organizations – advocacy groups named after the tax code provision governing them. In 2002 Congress passed the McCain-Feingold legislation banning large 'soft money' contributions for parties – money for issue-advocacy and organizational activities, not for candidates. In 2004, to the surprise of no sensible person and most McCain-Feingold supporters, much of the money – especially huge contributions from rich liberals – was diverted to 527s." (George Will, "The GOP's Betrayal On Speech," The Washington Post, 4/16/06)
