Reagan explained that he was lied to and that what he thought was strengthening the law against abortion was actually causing it to grow. You can go and read his own words on the matter if you wish to.

Reagan repeated this type of mistake (trusting progressives to keep their word) when he trusted ted kennedy on amnesty and tipp o'neill on spending cuts. He learned alright... to become a rock of Conservatism and he acted to defeat those that had proved themselves an enemy to Freedom and Liberty.

Romney said that a woman's right to choose was bred into him by his mother... from birth. The video is on You Tube... there are many such videos that show in great detail how mitt rommney will flip flop on any issue... whatever he needs to do or say to achieve his goals... and he has changed every single major issue stance he has ever held... and done so in the last 10 years. Reagan NEVER did that.

To believe that any politician can change themselves from one thing... to another that is a 180 degree polar opposite of what they have been all their lives... is itself the very definition of insanity.

I come upon an accident on the freeway
***That is a poor analogy. A better metaphor would be to find 2 people revving their engines, cars pointed straight to a cliff. Both invite you into their car. You’re saying that the Honda Civic is better than the Dodge Charger because it will go over the cliff slower, and that we can reason with the owner on the way down.

The case for Mitt Romney

He's flexible and willing to make adjustments when necessary.

Mitt is a loser candidate libtard. But I REALLY wish people would stop pointing to RomneyCare as if it were proof he supports ObamaCare.

On this one point he is absolutely correct...it is absolutely the right of states to decide whether they want (state) government funded health care. We conservatives can’t have it both ways. We can’t say that abortion should be decided by states but that health care can’t.

If a state’s population is stupid enough to vote for state-funded health care, that’s their right and that’s their business. To argue otherwise is to argue against a fundamental conservative tenant in terms of state rights.

It’s wrong and it makes conservatives appear stupid.

Surely there is a difference between the federal and state governments' powers to regulate our lives, but that is not to say that state governments have an unlimited power to regulate our lives. Our God-given rights as individuals deserve protection from any level of government. See our Declaration of Independence and the Ninth Amendment to our Constitution.

Why should a state government have the power to punish us for not going into the market and purchasing a product like health insurance?

I think so... Rush told me he did so he must have. kerry must be the only purple heart recipient that has ever received not one... but two... from blowing rice out of a barrel and into his butt cheek and cutting his finger on the helm of his PB.

Why did six men from the team that helped romney write romneycare, go to Washington to help obama write his version? No need to answer... mitt was for it before he was against it. This is a pattern that covers every single agenda item that he has ever embraced.

Not to worry. Romney will fix that misconception before the election, or if he realizes that he needs to remain “too far to the right” in order to get elected, if he actually desires to get elected, it will be fixed in his first year in office, should he have a first year in office.

an inconvenient fact “reasonable” people are not supposed to discuss

And Romney is, if nothing else, a "reasonable person."

Romney will stack the Court with, at best, perceived-to-be gentlemanly leftists. He appointed left activists to the court in Massachusetts. In November we will choose between Mussolini who will make the trains run on time, and Lenin.

Conservatives cannot support Mr. RomneyCARE,
author of DEATH PANELS.

He also supports the GLOBAL WARMING HOAX, TARP,
Sharia, misogyny (consider just Gov. Palin and
his Lt. Gov. in MA), TAXES, TAXES, and TAXES,
liberal judges, and the Romney AGENDAE which
he IMPOSES and then disavows (eg. gay marriage
and RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE).

Which of THOSE that you support, makes you, too,
“SEVERELY” conservative? (more likely deranged).

It depends upon what the state constitution says. If it says you CAN do that, and that’s what the people ratified, then yes you can. The US Constitution has nothing to do with it..in fact, the USC says such things are left to the states. Likewise, there is nothing to prevent a state from having a state religion should it decide to name one. What you reference are limitation upon FEDERAL government...not states.

Did Romney send those men to DC? I don’t know, I’m asking. If he did, then he’s guilty. If he didn’t, there is nothing to prevent the architects of the plan “appropriately” (even if stupidly) created for a state hiring themselves out to help create the unConstitutional (by our beliefs) plan for Ovomit.

I mean, were those guys free agents acting independent of Romney or was Romney loaning them out and willfully helping the Obamunist?
