>>>Because Fred’s record is clear and has never changed.<<<

So I guess we can continue to expect him to uphold amnesties, vote against increasing fines on employers who hire illegals, and vote against creating a system whereby employers can verify the legality of their employees?

Great. Open Borders Frederick to the rescue. *rolls eyes*

And really, you don’t need liberal spin. Romney stands on principles that are more in-line with social conservatives. Frederick doesn’t even see church as important enough to spend his time attending on a Sunday morning. I hope he enjoys his snooze.

You can spin until you drill yourself into the ground and it wont change the facts.

Beyond a few liberal states after spending millions of his own money, Romney is in 3rd-4th place.

There is a reason for that.

Or is there another Mitt running that I don’t know about?

"When Mitt ran against Ted Kennedy in 1994, he came across as a squishy RINO of the sort that you typically expect to be running for office in states like Massachusetts. Yet today, he sounds like a cross between Newt Gingrich circa 1994 and Rush Limbaugh. Did Mitt have a road-to-Damascus conversion to conservatism during that relatively short period of time or is he just pretending that he did to sucker conservatives into voting for him?"

And this is not just about abortion, where Mitt's position seems to have radically shifted, it's about a whole host of issues. He used to try to disassociate himself from Ronald Reagan and the Contract With America, but now he assures us that the Gipper and the Contract are close to his heart. He used to be pro-gun control and wanted nothing to do with the NRA, but now he's against gun grabbers and thinks the NRA is peachy. He came across as a member of the open borders and amnesty crowd whose position wasn't much different than that of John McCain on illegal immigration -- until it became a hot political issue -- and now he's running ads that make him sound like Tom Tancredo on the subject. Then there are the Bush tax cuts, embryonic stem cell research, and the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy. There have been so many flips that the flops are still running about two blocks behind, trying to catch up.
