I have a pretty good handle on Mitt’s past, and I am not aware of anything conservative in that past.
He was against Reagan, against the Republicans and the Contract with America, he was against the Senate conservatives, the “Jesse Helms types” as he called them.
He was supporting liberal democrats in their races against republicans, he meant it when he found Ted Kennedy too conservative, too timid on some social issues.
The "tent" just simply can't be that big if the GOP is to stand for anything.
