Anyone who believes the fiercely anti-gun, 85% Democrat Legislature of Massachusetts would have allowed the 1998 state ban on assault weapons to expire on September 14, 2004 is naive in the extreme (dreaming).

Your standard tactic. Whether it's gay marriage, socialized medicine, gun banning, gay propaganda in the schools, whatever, it's never Mitt's fault. Shoot, in your world, he doesn't even have any responsibility for the words he's uttered, much less his actions.

If he were elected, God forbid, God only knows what excuses he would use to push the left's agenda. I suppose it would all be Nancy Pelosi's fault.

“Deadly assault weapons have no place in Massachusetts,” Romney said, “These guns are not made for recreation or self-defense. They are instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people.” - Mitt Romney, upon signing permanent "assault weapons ban"

Actually, that depends on the poll.

According to a poll by Time magazine, March 29th, "Among 407 Republicans asked to choose between four candidates, former Mayor Rudy Giuliani runs at 35%, Sen. John McCain at 28%, former Speaker Newt Gingrich at 14%, and former Gov. Mitt Romney at 12% in a national primary."

So EV, you like the idea of destruction and the ability to hunt down for killing innocent people!

"Your standard tactic."

Oh, really? You truly believe an 85% Democratic legislature in Massachusetts would have allowed an assault weapons ban to expire?

"If he were elected, God forbid, God only knows what excuses he would use to push the left's agenda. I suppose it would all be Nancy Pelosi's fault."

I would expect if Mitt Romney were elected, with a smaller Democratic majority in the U.S. House and Senate, perhaps even a minority, he would be far more successful.

Yes, it requires a sense of humor. Is that not allowed in LDS circles?

I’m receptive to Romney convincing me.

I’m not backing any candidate. I like Newt the best, but I don’t think he’ll run and I’m not sure I’d vote for him because I seriously doubt he could win the general election, even against Hillary.

I’d even vote for McCain in the general election next year, although I might have to shoot myself afterward as part of some cleansing process.

Successful? On his watch MA got gay marriage, gay propaganda in the schools, an assault weapons ban and socialized medicine. To the Left that is "success" I suppose.

Typical Romneyite dishonesty. Really, you should be ashamed.

Mitt is the only one who can carry the base into the general and beat Hillary with a Conservative message. Mitt is a great communicator.

I'm looking forward to Romney systematically dissecting Clinton in the debates.

Yes or no to the above question, EV?
