He's anti-Second Amendment:
The candidate reiterated his support for an assault weapons ban contained in Congress crime bill, and the Brady law which imposes a five-day waiting period on handgun purchases. I dont think (the waiting period) will have a massive effect on crime but I think it will have a positive effect, Romney said.

He's in favor of forcing citizens to buy insurance and pay for the health care of other citizens.
With regards to my health care plan, let me describe what is the ultimate conservative approach. In this country, you have today about 47 million people that dont have health insurance. We went out and tried to find out why they dont. We found out that about half of them could afford to buy insurance if it were reasonably priced. They could afford to buy it, but they werent buying it. If we get sick, we can go to the hospital and get care for free. And we said: what? If somebody could afford insurance, they should either buy the insurance or pay their own way. They dont have to buy insurance if they dont want to, but pay their own way. But they shouldnt be allowed to just show up at the hospital and say, somebody else should pay for me. So we said: No more free riders. It was like bringing workfare to welfare. We said: If you can afford insurance, then either have the insurance or get a health savings account. Pay your own way, but no more free ride. That was what the mandate did.

So I don't know why Romney hates ObamaCare. By Romney's own admission, if half of 47 million people can't afford health insurance but are forced to have it, then we, the taxpayer pay for that half.
Its a state issue that he was forced to deal with.
Federally, there is no constitutional authority to get involved. He agrees with that.
If he is the candidate running against Soebarkah the America hating Kenyan born muzzie, then Romney has my vote.
I can AFFORD to buy more stuff. I choose not to. I have other priorities.
