Well, when you put it THAT way......
The post you replied to is but one of many "I'm voting Obama /I hope Obama wins! / etc..." posts I'm seeing here lately. There was a time, it seems, when saying you'd vote for Obama got you zotted immediately.
My how times have changed.
Thank you for the chart image.

“Nobody ever said Mitsy was conservative, just more conservative than Obama”
“Prove it. Per his record, he’s every bit as liberal as Obama is”
The fact that Dick Cheney and Paul Ryan have endorsed Mitt. That alone has convinced me to hold my nose and vote for him rather than keep Obama in office like you guys seem keen on doing.
I hear you, but don’t think we will even get a chance to vote for Newt — who was my early favorite along with Santorum as VP.
The 2012 election is between a Marxist and a Moderate.
So rather than check his record you'll just be a sheep. Got it!
In politics the middle way is none at all. John Adams
I remain where I’ve been all along, in the ABOOR crowd. That’s “Anyone But Obama Or Romney”.
I just hope Newt’s still standing when it’s my turn to vote.
Yes, Newt’s lifetime ACU rating was 90. Perhaps you misunderstood - I believe Newt is a conservative and I did not believe (and do not) believe that Romney is a conservative. I wasn’t saying that Romney’s record was conservative (Conservapedia did - http://www.conservapedia.com/Mitt_Romney), I was saying that the idea that he was a conservative governor was a joke. I believe Romney was moderate at best.
I read elsewhere that Romney’s ACU rating as governor was 55. I have no idea if that’s true. A few weeks ago, however, the Chairman of the ACU said that “Although former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney has never served in Congress, we have similarly reviewed his gubernatorial record and campaign positions — both of which earn him bona fides as a true conservative.”

I’m posting that great image on FaceBook! Bttt!
Romney has big plans for you and me. For starters, even with all the damage he has done to our nation and our freedom with RomneyCare (ObamaCare) he still loves the little piece of statist/fascism bearing his name and is now setting up a national health care task force to impose it on all 50 states. He still insists that it is a “conservative free-market” program and he refuses to recognize the truth. Well, that’s probably because “truth” is a foreign concept to him, but that’s another story. If RomneyCare is free-market then why does it require government force, mandates and penalties for non-compliance to impose it on us? There is nothing conservative or free-market about RomneyCare or its author.
Romney must think the “con” in conservative stands for conman. He certainly is a flim-flam man. There’s nothing conservative about Romney despite the rhetoric spewing from his big lying mouth. As they say in Texas, he’s all hat and no cattle.
Out toking.
I hope I’m able to get it posted on mine. If not, I’ll give you my password.
What the he!!??
The PARTY gives us McCain and tells us to take a pill and support him in the name of conservatism....Then with the greatest chance in history to knock 'em dead with a true conservative to clobber 0bama and retake the Whitehouse they give us Romney and tell us to take a pill and support him.
The party IS the problem and they are going to lose the conservative support before November because of their "our way or the highway" attitude and that will be the death of the GOP once and for all.
Romney is nothing but a lying liberal political hack who is in it for himself and he is attempting to suck every penny he can out of "true" conservatives only to destroy conservatism and most are falling for it like the little suckers they are.
Romney is a guarantee of 4 more years of 0bama and the "suckers" will blame true conservatives for sticking to heir convictions and voting conservative!
WONDERFUL TO HAVE YOU BACK IN ACTION!
Praise God!
