That crack about Rush may have cost Gov Romney a lot . I can’t get over it , that should have been an easy instinctive call . . .

It WAS an instinctive call. Romney's instincts are liberal, as is his life's political work.

Slick Willard is the ultimate wolf in sheep's clothing.

What did Romney say about Rush? I hadn’t heard.

It was a potentially fatal flub.

Between this, his somewhat shaky Conservative credentials and the fact he is using his own allowance to fund his campaign now.

Well....

Romney's instincts are liberal ...

That's one way of saying it. The other day it dawned on me that Romney is a Big Organization kind of guy. He comes from Big Church -- the Mormon church is, from my understanding, financially linked in many companies. IIRC, Albertson's is connected to the Mormon church. Not that there's anything wrong with that. But Romney's been born and bred on Big Church. So no wonder he's also Big Government.

"Liberal vs. conservative" or "RINO vs. Real Republican" is so subjective. Big Government Nanny vs. Small Government Freeman is much more cut and dried.

So-called "social" conservatives scream that they won't vote for someone who won't use government to prevent or promote whatever it is they want. Yet in the long run, states' rights and increased charitable dollars from the private sector which would be a byproduct of smaller government, would get those social conservatives toward their goals faster. Small government is in their interests, too, if they would only see it.
