Obamacare must be repealed in 2012. Romney is the only candidate who signed off on universal health care and defends its individual mandate as ardently as a Democrat. Electing him to repeal Obamacare would be like hiring an arsonist to put out a fire.
The other candidates may have their faults, but none has such a striking conflict of interest with our #1 issue as Slick Willard. Well, Huntsman would probably go squishy on it, but I don’t think even the establishment cares a whit about him, so he’s a non-factor.
Romney does not endorse Obamacare and would sign a law to repeal it. Every single candidate can be made to look like a liberal, including Cain and Palin. Heck, everyone of us could be portrayed as a RINO because we are getting a government check of some sort, smoke weed, have had multiple marriages, support Title IX, had a kid out of wedlock, or whatever.
I do not think Romney can be fairly compared to McCain because McCain regularly sabotaged conservatives. Romney did his best to govern a very liberal state. I think as President Romney will uphold conservative values and sign laws passed by a conservative Congress. Romney is a proven problem solver and lover of the free market, but more importantly, a lover of America. I think a Romney/Cain ticket would be excellent for America.
