This is only puzzling if you think that Republicans are conservative. For the most part they're not. They're socialist lites who worship big government as much as Democrats, but differ from the Democrats on just how to organize it and pay for it. Look at last election when the Republican establishment put forth the worthless liberal McCain, and now the big Republican money is flowing the liberal Mittens.
Absolutely agree with you. I’m listening to Mark Levin and he was playing a tape of Romney earlier thanking his “consort Ted Kennedy” for helping him with Romneycare. Say what? And people expect this guy to repeal Obamacare? Ann Coulter believe this “consort of Ted Kennedy”?
