Yes, Romney is a socialist and his father, George Romney was an admirer of the communist/Marxist, Saul Alinsky. He hated Reagan and pretty much left the party when Reagan won. His mother was pro abortion. He too was pro-choice, actually instituted gay marriage in Massachusetts, which consequently led to the mess we are in today. He created the socialistic Romneycare which Obama co-opted and expanded to inflict upon the entire country. He loves mandates, gun control and giving out welfare (other people’s money). But the biggest thing is that he is a liar because he has people like you, thinking he was the “severe conservative” he called himself.
I’ve been watching the creep closely since I heard the cry come up from Massachusetts in 2003, after he betrayed the people of that state and forced gay marriage down their throats. I’ve been a part of Free Republic through every election cycle Romney has attempted to run for president. After seeing how he behaves with liberals democrats, whom he loves, and conservatives, whom he hates, most conservatives finally know there is no conservatism in Mitt Romney. He, like the rest of the GOP elites and establishment, love pretending to be conservative to get elected and once in office, they turn around and take things far beyond where even the most liberal of democrats hope and imagine they can go.
I too have never missed voting in a federal election, but I also never have been foolish enough to vote for Romney. I will write in a name before I ever vote for a traitorous, socialist, liar like him. Polls may have shown people stayed home, but why should they be forced out of their homes to vote for someone who does not even bother to make an effort to defeat the liberal democrats. In Florida I was able to see first hand Romney go after conservative Newt Gingrich. He pulled every sleazy lying trick in the book on Gingrich, stuffed my mailbox with mailers lying about Gingrich, dominating the airwaves with video and audio ads. People here said that was proof Romney was a fighter. Well he only fights conservatives. He said and did nothing to contrast himself with Obama. I recognize that was difficult for him because he agreed with Obama on so many things, but you would think he would at least make some effort to run against Obama. He didn’t. He packed up and left the one state he had to win without firing a single shot at the enemy. The worst thing he said about Obama was that he was in a little over his head. He didn’t seem to think it was that important that Obama be defeated.
Is he as kind to any other conservative? To Gingrich, Palin, or even a populist like Trump? No, Mitt loves liberals. He never does anything to fight them. He saves all his force to destroy conservatives. Romney is a Fabian socialist who comes from a socialist heritage, no matter what that father of lies tries to make you think, he is a socialist.
You opened my eyes. very interesting. I still would have voted for him over O’bummer. I know his father was a POS. A real ass when Goldwater was running for Pres. He sent out flyers showing people how to split their tickets and vote for LBJ and him. I hated him. Thought Mitt was a bit wiser. I always considered Junior a “moderate”.
