Mitt can make no claim to the conservative mantel since his record on social issues is more comparable to B. Hussein Obama than, oh let’s say, Sarah Palin or Ambassador Keyes, or heck even Lindsay Graham.
Mitt is generally a fiscal conservative but has a major taste for big government programs...sort of like most Republican members of the current Congress...like John McCain.
He is very much the social liberal that has flip-flopped and obfuscated in a way John Kerry would be proud of.
Ambassador Keyes, on the other hand, has been nothing but consistent, forthright, and more importantly, conservative...rarely, if ever, wavering from the conservative cause regardless of the consequences.
Romney lacks the credibility to even fasten his sandals (or carry his jock strap).
The difference is that Keyes has never done anything.
I voted for him once and sent him money, but when he started preaching black reparations, that was the end.
