>>We know he is a socialist.<<
I really doubt he’s a socialist, but there’s little question in my mind that he’s a big government Republican, with a strong tendency to the liberal side on social issues. Nominating Romney would ensure that Obamacare would remain the law of the land because Romney will seek to tweak it rather than abolish it. His continued support of Romneycare assures that.
Yet Romney escapes unscathed in debates. Why? Simply because the conservatives are fighting it out right now. After they sort out the battle for the conservative/Tea Party mantle, the winner will easily topple Romney. Then the real battle, between Obama, a true socialist (or worse, probably much worse), and the eventual GOP nominee.
Yeah socialist is not what he Romney is but not far off the mark when what we need is a strong conservative candidate. We do know Romney is not going to be as he claims he will be if by chance he did become president. Of course, he would not seek to dismantle Obamacare. And I understand, the conservative candidates are splitting the conservative vote as is always the case and which is why we consistently end up with moderate republican nominees. It appears to me we have a good opportunity to end that trend this election.
