It never ceases to amaze me how a person who has decided to support a candidate all too often arrives at a point where FACTS are meaningless to them. Such is true with those who support this Romney character. There has been one example after another that proves that Mitt Romney isn't even a Republican much less a conservative and that he has repeatedly lied about his positions. Yet, well meaning Republicans still support this flip-flopping liar. Here is yet another article that shows that Mitt Romney is the single worse candidate the GOP field has today.
David Lightman of the McClatchy Newspaper chain asks this question: Exactly how Reaganesque is Romney? And the answer is a decided NOT AT ALL.
A few excerpts of this article:
"I take inspiration from the strength Ronald Reagan talked about," Romney said. "It was his view that the right way to overcome challenges was for the country to strengthen itself."And...Yet Romney wasn't always such a Reagan fan.
In 1994, when he ran for the U.S. Senate in Massachusetts, he said, "I was an independent during the time of Reagan-Bush. I'm not trying to return to Reagan-Bush."
Romney spent years in the state registered as "unenrolled," or unaffiliated with a political party, and in 1992 he voted for former Sen. Paul Tsongas, a liberal Democrat, in the Massachusetts Democratic presidential primary.And...
Romney replied: "Look, I was an independent during the time of Reagan-Bush. I'm not trying to return to Reagan-Bush. My positions don't talk about the things you suggest they talk about. This isn't a political issue."Romney has lied about being a hunter, he has lied about his not supporting the baby killers at Planned Parenthood, he even lied about his father marching with Martin Luther King, Jr. He led as Governor of Massachusetts as a center left executive yet now claims that he is a conservative.
Yet, all these flip-flops, all these lies and his supporters stick their fingers in their ears and scream "LA LA LA" at the top of their voices. So, here is the thing. Romney is not Reagan, he is far more like Clinton. Because during the first Clinton run lie after lie was revealed and his supporters simply refused to take stock of their man. They voted for him despite the lies, the rapes, all his past troubles were ignored.
Mitt Romney is Bill Clinton without the sex crimes.
We’re short of Republicans this year. McCain, Huckabee, and Rudy are both rinos too. Thompson is the only one left who has a shot.
I’d say he’s technically a Republican (as a lying liberal infiltrator), but he’s no conservative.
Sounds like goofy-bot speak to me!
Mitt saw mommy kissing Santa Claus.
Gee, What A Surprise... (Firms find ways around Mass. state health law)
Romney is better than Rudy, and probably even better than Huckabee. Romney is not the worse.
A shot at what?
The nomination, or the Presidency?
I say if that headline does not scare you off, try this: “Mitt is an extra-terrestrial alien”
Oh. Kucinich already has that base sewn up?
You could have Murrymom register and run as a Republican. That would not make her a Conservative.
I say you changed the title of the article...which is a no-no.
You may be right he may not be a conservative but I did like what he said about Religious liberty and if we vote for this guy maybe just maybe we will get the judges that we all want
my goal this year is simply to keep the clintons out of the white house.
Wrong. He’s a Republican. He’s not a Conservative.
When Romney is the Republican nominee, will you vote for him in November? Or will you vote for Clinton instead? What say you head in the sand Romneyhaters?
That should be Slick Willard's campaign slogan.
The Newspapers from Utah, Massachusetts and NH have all
dropped Romney.... but THOSE are his states. They know him.
I would like to help the Mitt supporters on this one.
I disagree, Mitt is a Republican, he is indeed registered as one...
He is not however a Conservative.
There is a difference.
Say "if" and you might get more responses.
Complete title change.
