Mitt has said he would sign a new “assault weapon” ban. He is clearly in favor of gun control. That is all I need to know about Mitt Romney. Go Fred!

Would you mind telling me what sort of weapon you feel Mitt would try to take away from you that is legal now?

And who did the Union Leader endorse? A “real” conservative? Hardly.

Any of the so-called “assault weapons” that were banned under Clinton in 1994 and are no longer banned (except in a couple Stalinist states like NY). Do you need more details?

Great analysis, and thank you for pointing out Romney’s conservative record.
Did he make some pandering comments over the years? Yes.
But check his record as Mass Gov, and it is clear he consistently took good and decent conservative positions on almost everything.
These Romney haters on FR are embarassing, and I’m about as ultra conservative as one can get.

Isnt it true that not one, single Willard Romney male ever served in the US Military since, oh, before the civil war?Is it true that not one male who ever voted on the 'morning after' pill ever was pregnant?

Just another smear attempt by the Mitt haters.Notice how these Deranged Romney Bashers don't ever support THEIR candidate, even if they have one/
Are they embarassed, or is it like I surmise... that they simply suffer from Romney Derangement Syndrome?
I think its the latter.

Its always fun to present a Mittbot with facts. They shriek and paste like crazy .... And deny everything Romney says and does. Links to his own words coming out of his own mouth are posted on this thread, yet Mitt fans deny he said them.

Its always fun to present a Mittbot with facts.This newspaper editorial isn't "facts."
It's just antedoctal statements, the opinion of one more newspaper muckraker who wouldn't recognize a good GOP candidate if he stomped thru their newsroom with the entire American Conservative Union staff right beside him.
Oops. The ACU DOES endorse Romney, and so does National Review.

Hey Mr Ultra! Most embarrassing of all is this sites owner:
"B/S. Some of you guys are pushing the abortionist, gay agenda advancing, gun grabbing, big government socialist nanny state lying liberal RINO BECAUSE of his religion. Conservatives are pushing back. And its perfectly within their rights. NOTHING un-American about it. If fact, claiming it is, IS un-American. If you cant stand the heat, get out! Take Romney with you."
Yup, downright embarrassing I tell you.

Mitt fans deny he said them.From what I read, most Mitt supporters agree he made some liberal pandering statements over the years.
But they were just that... statements, and if you check his record, you can see he governed Mass as a fairly conservative leader.
Which is especially heartening, when you consider how difficult it would have been in an 80-percent liberal state such as Massechusetts.

“”And that is why we picked John McCain over Mitt Romney””
Next.
To: tiger-one
What’s next? NYT’s editorials that you all dub as “facts.”
To: tiger-one
They have all become more conservative in name only.

Romney governed MASS a liberal installing gay marriage,
socialized medicine, and continued most of the cover-ups.
Romney is NOTHING like a conservative. Romney,theDECLAREDrino, even said so.

And, don’t forget, when the AWB was due to expire in 2004 in MA, just like the federal AWB, the Mythster made it a permanent ban, not subject to federal law.

Actually, it's not the ACU endorsing Romney, it's the President of ACU David Keene
personally endorsing him. I'm the Director of Operations for a non profit and I've personally and openly endorsed Fred but I don't claim that the entire org endorses him.
From the ACU website...
All candidate listings and responses are in alphabetical order. The American Conservative Union provides these responses for public information only. ACU neither endorses these candidates nor their responses.
