It’s over. America is totally screwed. We either get shot in the face (Obama) or stabbed in the back (Mittens).

Leavit is a scary addition to Romne’s parade.
Also, how we need to work very hard to get Obama defeated and get Romney elected and then we have to work even harder after that to drag Romney to the right.

Is anyone surprised? Whats that old song about the woman who picks up a snake, cares for it, and the snake bites her anyway? In essence, the snake said, Im a snake. I bite. Its my nature.
Not surprised at all. People who vote for Romney are voting for a liberal, and they should not be surprised when it turns out he associates with like-minded liberals.

Both, and for a litte extra luster he was a Bush appointee as EPA administrator and subsequently Secretary of HHS.

There is no lateral Left versus Right struggle. There is a FedGov versus Americans vertical struggle, however.

If you couldn't drag him to the right in the primaries and you can't drag him to the right in the general, what make you think you will have any success dragging him to the right after his holds all the cards?
The only thing happening here is he is dragging a lot of so-called conservatives to the left.

After a couple of steps in the right direction, Romney steps in shit..
Limbaugh, always the pragmatist, gave him a pass.. Saying Romney dictates policy, his transition manager doesn't. Mark Levin didn't. Levin rightfully pounded the choice, asking what kind of message it sends to conservatives...
It's 2 steps forward, 1 back... He needs to keep moving much more conservative, not less

Now you know fully well that Romney has a record of saying things just to pander to whomever he needs to get him from point A to point B without really meaning it.....what makes you think that he is really is moving conservative from the beginning? It’s fake
To: Leep
In most primaries Romney earned 1/3 or less of the vote. Conservatives split their vote among multiple candidates paving the way for Romney to win. Had it been a race from the beginning between Romney and a strong conservative, the Republicans would be running a conservative this year.
Votes do matter.

...what make you think you will have any success dragging him to the right after his holds all the cards?The words are Levin's, not mine.
And probably easier to drag Romney to the right than a reinvigorated Obama who doesn't have to run again.

The words are Levin's, not mine. Well, you didn't attribute them to anyone else, and you didn't use quotes.So, I appropriately addressed my comments to you.
Presidents who don't have to run again are generally called lame ducks, and historically accomplish little - especially if the have strong opposition in Congress.
Suppose, Obamacare is struck down this June. Do you really think Congressional Dems are going to want to go down that road a second time? I doubt it, but I can see Congressional Republicans taking a stab at passing an ill advised Romney plan.
