I appreciate that Free Republic pretty much officially hates Romney. I believe that is based on his record as governor and a total mistrust that he has switched on issues like abortion.
However, where many here depart from reality is they discuss Romney as a present day liberal candidate. He simply is not. Romney is campaigning as the most conservative republican. You don’t have to believe him but Romney currently is pro life, favors the strictest anti illegals policy, supports conservative judges, repealing Obamacare, etc.
As for giving a speech I’ve watched a couple now, he is about 10 times better than Santorum, and the speeches are very anti-Obama.
I’ve supported each front runner so that included Perry, Newt, Rick, Hermann. I considered Michelle not sure she was a true front runner. Pawlenti seemed ok but ended up being a dead fish candidate.
The currently liberal Romney still supports gays in the military, embryonic stem cell research, global warming and Romneycare even though you say he’s campaigning as the most conservative candidate. While he is saying he’ll get rid of Obamacare, he has his minions out saying he won’t remove it, just tinker with it. Well what is it? Yes, remove Obamacare or no, just tinker with it. That is typical Romney behavior. Say whatever you think the audience wants to hear.
Mitt Romney is the Rockefeller wing liberal son of Rockefeller wing liberals who attempts to speak conservative to get elected. He will trash anyone else’s conservative history in order to make himself look good in comparison. He trashed Reagan, Gingrich and Santorum. But you want to believe he’s a conservative? Was he lying then or now? From him, it’s all been lies.
Don’t keep pimping Romney here. It seems we know him better than you know him. Romney certainly wants to get elected. He’d turn himself inside out if he had to. So lying and pretending to be conservative is nothing to him. But a conservative should know better.
