Mitt Romney: The Liberal

Well, against all odds, it looks like the Anyone But Obama movement (now called ABO on FreeRepublic) is losing to those opposed to Mitt Romney. There have been a series of 4 threads called Mitt Romney: Liberal citing various evidence of his supposedly progressive views.

Comments:

A liberal, a Conservative, and a Moderate go into this bar. What did the bartender say?

Hello Mitt

*

While there isn't much difference between a pro-big government, pro-abortion, pro-gun control, pro-homosexual liberal from Massachusetts, and a pro-big government, pro-abortion, pro-gun control, pro-homosexual liberal from Chicago, you ought to vote in the other races.

Me, I will only vote for somebody who is truly a Conservative. That means I'll find somebody else to vote for/write-in if the Republican is not a Conservative.

Unfortunately, it’s either Romney or Obama. Romney is a plastic political weathervane who believes in nothing but his nown ambition, while Obama is a willing tool of people who want to destroy the United States. It sucks that it’s come to this. Your complaints about Romney are accurate, but now, bringing them up accomplishes nothing constructive. There is one big difference between the two. I’m confident that can survive a President Romney. I don’t think we can survive four more years of President Obama.

"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton

Besides, I have no interest in the race if it is Romney vs Obama. *yawn*. That is like going to be like watching the DU Party primary. I'll probably sleep in on election day.

*

Furthermore, for those of us who are holding true to our conservative and Christian principles and unwilling and unable to accept a Lying, Left-Wing, Progressive Liberal as our nominee, this is very constructive if, even if the chances are small, we help to force a nominating convention.

Even if we don't, we won't be voting for your boy, and there are still a lot of lurkers that are not aware of Romney's record, so we are providing them a service as well.

Finally, it provides an eventual innoculation and firewall about the inevitable complaints and accusations from posters such as yourself that when Mitt loses, and he will, we are blamed for said loss when it was Mitt's fault all along and those supporting him.

The only thing inevitable about Mitt Romney is he is the only candidate who guarantees the re-election of Obama because of the record we are posting and you are complaining about.

Romney, McCain, Dole, Bush 1, Ford and most likely Nixon. The RNC does not represent me, although I must say I no longer send them a dime. I have also been thinking of re registering my political affiliation as Independent as I am not much interested in them.

*

Since 1988, with George H. W. Bush, Bob Dole, George W. Bush, and John McCain, we've got a 24 year stretch of moderate candidates who support big government, lost to Democrats or turned the White House over to Democrats. Until Obama decided to break his record, George W. Bush gave us the biggest, most expensive, most intrusive, and most powerful government in our nation's history, and he did it with the support of a Republican Congress!

And God forbid, now we have Romney who is far more liberal than all of them.

*

Folks making the stay home or third-party argument are fools without a clue as to what Obama is. Romney and Obama are both true believers. The difference is that Obama is a true believer in the International Communist Revolution, whereas Romney is a true believer in ... Willard Mitt Romney. As President, Romney will do his best to accomplish whatever he thinks will enhance his resume, whereas Obama, no longer facing reelection, will work to complete his agenda to cut America down to size (relay that to Vladimir) and realize his father's dream of a socialist paradise.

If, as now seems highly likely, Romney is the nominee, it will be up to us to drag him across the finish line, along with enough conservative congress critters to make sure he etches the right sketch in 2013.

*

“What will you do if Romney becomes the candidate? Will you continue to bash him?”

I asked him that very same question and “yes” was the answer that came back. Come August 27th when the convention in Tampa opens, IMO if SoConPubbie is still flooding FR with anti-GOP ticket post then he becomes nothing less than a reelect Obama activist, working FR.

*

Anyone saying they'll vote for romney is being completely dishonest about having looked into the guy's background.

He's a disaster and I will have nothing to do with him whatsoever.

*

Anybody who thinks that the left-wing MSM has not been salivating at the prospect of facing off against Romney and that they don't already a myriad of hit-pieces against Romney piled up and ready to go is a political neophyte.

Furthermore, the only people helping Obama win re-election are those pimping such a sure-fired left-wing, progressive Liberal like Mitt Romney.

If he wins the nomination, we lose the election, because the left-wing Media is not goint to be bashful of using the following Mitt ROmney record against him like a baseball bat to bludgeon his candidacy into a bloody pulp:

1. Implemented Gay Marriage (Father of Gay Marriage in America)
2. Supported Abortion.
3. Implemented state level cap-and-trade Carbon trading system
4. Implemented a state-level "Assault Weapons" Ban AFTER the federal AWB was allowed to expire.
5. Whole-Heartedly Supported the Gay Agenda while Governor.
6. Whole-Heartedly supported the Abortion Agenda while Governor
7. Supported the Brady Bill.
8. Supported McCain-Kennedy (Amnesty)
9. Supported TARP
10. Implemented a Socialistic Healthcare program called RomneyCare that included an individual mandate and $50 abortions.
11. Increased Taxes/Fees by 300% as Governor.

Add to that his constant lying and bearing false witness against the actual conservatives in the race and all you have is a recipe for electoral disaster come November if Romney is the nominee.

So what if he's philosophically and historically pro nationalized health care, pro on-demand cheap taxpayer-funded abortion, pro gay agenda of forcing Americans to accept open homosexuality in everything from children's schools to our military, pro cap-and-trade global warming edicts, and has a documented record of appointing extremely liberal activist judges???? SO WHAT???

I tell you, he can't be as bad as Obama because he's a Republican. Only an idiot doesn't think it's OKAY to vote for a person with a political record of promoting every single major liberal issue, when the guy is a Republican!!!! Because he's a Republican, he can't be as bad as Obama!!!! If Obama himself re-registered as a Republican, he wouldn't be as bad as Obama!!!

/sarcasm

If it's R vs O, I pray that all Americans who comprehend just how fatal Romney would be for conservatism, the GOP, and therefore the hope of America, resist the temptation to sit out the election, and instead crawl over broken glass to VOTE THIRD PARTY for the sole purpose of diluting the vote percentage of whichever government bondage-pushing socialist wins, to the smallest plurality possible.

Vote ABOOR and that vote WILL COUNT against both Obama and Romney, and thus will make whichever one wins weaker politically. We HAVE TO FIGHT BACK, and the way we fight liberalism in THIS election, if it's R v O, is to VOTE THIRD PARTY. It's the ONLY CHANCE.

The more who vote ABOOR and go third party, the more likely we'll be looking at a socialist president (Romney or Obama) elected by, ideally, only 34-39 percent of the vote. If it was Obama who won on 34 percent, the liberal wing of the Replican party will have had its asses kicked, it would greatly help strengthen the conservative movement, would make Obama extremely vulnerable, and would probably make 43-percent-plurality Clinton's mid-term Republican Revolution ass-kicking look like child's play.

People, if you vote for Romney and the bastard wins, YOU AND AMERICA WILL GET WHAT YOU VOTED FOR: socialized medicine, global warming regulation, on-demand abortion funded by YOU, liberal activist judges, and punishment for resisting open homosexuality anywhere in your or your child's life. That's the price of voting "against" Obama by voting FOR Romney. VOTE ABOOR INSTEAD.

*

And I will still vote for him over the guy who hates America and wants to start a race war.....

*

That SOB Romney is running an ad here in PA (Johnstown, Ebensburg) in which he invokes Katie Couric, Gloria Borger and other MSM scum reporters to blast Santorum.
It's a dirty, filthy ad.

I will never vote for Romney!

I will write in Sarah Palin instead. I don't care. I can't vote for him.

*

What is the point and what are we to do??? Romney is probably going to be the nominee, so what are we to do? If we don’t vote for him we get Obama for another 4 years, can we really risk that? I don’t like Romney anymore then you do, but having Obama re-elected just can’t happen. So what is your plan? Please tell us, continual bashing of the nominee isn’t helping our cause. If there were any chance anyone else could grab the nomination, I would be the first in line to help, but we have done all we can do and we still have Romney. It will be ABO for most everyone, but if we continue to bash what we have, then what. Please explain your reasoning for this. I feel lost in the woods in regards to this election, but front and foremost is not re-electing Obama.

1. If you are a conservative, Nominating a left-wing, Progressive Liberal doesn't help your cause.
2. If you are a conservative, and if he wins, he won't help your cause either, because like he did in MA and Arnold did in CA, progressive Liberals with an R next to their name in executive positions destroy their party.

*

REMEMBER that Clinton got in with a plurality of 43 percent, proving that the majority of voters REJECTED him and helping Republicans take back Congress to the degree that it was called the Republican Revolution. If Obama wins with 34-40 percent of the vote, it will be a huge blow to liberalism in BOTH PARTIES. If Romney wins with 34-40 percent of the vote, however, there'd be a powerful agent in the White House working to castrate conservatives in the Republican Party.

THAT is what we do: vote AGAINST LIBERALISM by voting third party, making the plurality victor as politically weak and vulnerable as possible.

*

This is why I made up the nickname Robamney for him.

Once again, the establishment globalists give us a false choice.

The etch-a-sketch comment has me really considering third-party. We’re screwed either way and I’m not sure I want to be a part of it.

We have to make hard decisions. You are right, glossing over or painting Romney's liberal past as rosy will not change the future we now face of what Romney is capable of. But if faced with either Obama or Romney, I have to choose ABO.
