I am all in to defeat Obama. I do not equate Obama and Romney. Romney isn’t Obama. That may not meet FR orthodoxy, but that is my observation.
Romney, like Rush has said, can (and must be) PUSHED to the right. Obama cannot be pushed to the right...he is an Alinsky disciple.
Observation? Are you sure you've actually taken the time to observe Mitt Romney's record as Governor of Massachusetts? The man governed more to the left than many Democrats.
Here's just a sampling:
Mitt Romneys Dismal Record
"As U.S. real output grew 13 percent between 2002 and 2006, Massachusetts trailed at 9 percent.
* Manufacturing employment fell 7 percent nationwide those years, but sank 14 percent under Romney, placing Massachusetts 48th among the states.
* Between fall 2003 and autumn 2006, U.S. job growth averaged 5.4 percent, nearly three times Massachusetts' anemic 1.9 percent pace.
* While 8 million Americans over age 16 found work between 2002 and 2006, the number of employed Massachusetts residents actually declined by 8,500 during those years.
"Massachusetts was the only state to have failed to post any gain in its pool of employed residents," professors Sum and McLaughlin concluded.
In an April 2003 meeting with the Massachusetts congressional delegation in Washington, Romney failed to endorse President Bush's $726 billion tax-cut proposal."

13. Nominated 27 Democrats (out of 36 nominations) for judgeships in MA, many of them extreme left-wingers.
I agree with you completely FRiend! I’m for conservatives for sure, but it is total idiocy to sit out or whatever and let Obama have 4 more years.
What Planet are u living on?
If Romney was EVER going to tack right, it would have been
in the GOP primary’s. He NEVER Did and he sure won’t NOW.
Get real. This was a RINO from start to finish, without
even throwing out a few bones to conservatives during the primary’s.
I am all in to defeat Obama. I do not equate Obama and Romney. Romney isnt Obama. That may not meet FR orthodoxy, but that is my observation.
Romney, like Rush has said, can (and must be) PUSHED to the right. Obama cannot be pushed to the right...he is an Alinsky disciple.
Mitt Romney, just like his father, George Romney, were friends with Saul Alinsky. Shocking.
Are they disciples of Alinsky? Mitt Romney is a self-avowed progressive, a national socialist like Hillary Clinton. You make up your own mind.
Do some research on Romney’s record as a governor. Nothing he did as governor of Massachusetts was conservative. He cannot be pushed to the ‘right’ because he doesn’t believe in it. For him, government is God.
Rush Limbaugh ceased to be a conservative quite some time ago.
