Hi Paul,
Among a whole bunch of other negative comments about Mitt Romney at your link, I found this particular post rather interesting.
If all of this is true..........and please show me which one's aren't true if any..............why would republicans support Mitt Romney as their candidate? All of these things are liberal ideas and causes.
For further info, all of the points are gone into great detail at the stevedeace.com site.

"Open challenge to the "Romney progressives." Try refuting one point from Mitt Romney's record of "progressive" activism, so I can smack you down.
1. Pro-abortion with taxpayer funding (added it to RomneyCare, kept abortion in the plan, refused to line-item veto it).
[my note: and insisted that a rep from Planned Parenthood always be represented on the medical board.]
2. Pro-government mandated healthcare (RomneyCare has cost the state over 20,000 jobs and has actually increased the cost of healthcare in Massachusetts).
3. Pro-government mandates in general ("I like mandates" his own words on tape).
youtube.com
4. Pro-gay marriage with full state sponsorship (was first Governor to install it, earlier broke a law in his zeal to issue gay marriage licenses, then called opponents of his actions "right-wing").
[my note: I just read a very long post at stevedeace.com {I have no idea who he is} that said some really bad things about Mitt Romney in this regard.

5. Pro-transgender education to children in public schools (promoted by Governor Romney's administration, read Amy Contrada's book: "Mitt Romney's Deception").
[my note: lots of info and links about this found at stevedeace.com site above.]
6. Pro-gay scout masters in the boy scouts ("I feel that all people should be allowed to participate in the Boy Scouts regardless of their sexual orientation." U.S. Senate debate on Oct. 26, 1994. Massachusetts News, June 18, 2002.)
7. Pro-global warming caused by human activity (his own words)
youtube.com.
8. Pro-environmental regulations to combat global warming (imposed massive environmental regulations in Massachusetts, according to the Wall Street Journal: "Mr. Romney joined activists outside an aging, coal-fired plant in 2003 to show his commitment to the emissions caps. "I will not create jobs or hold jobs that kill people, and that plant, that plant kills people," he said. On Dec. 7, 2005, the Romney administration unveiled the final orders. "These carbon emission limits will provide real and immediate progress in the battle to improve our environment," then-Gov. Romney said in a press release touting Massachusetts as "the first and only state to set CO2 emissions limits on power plants.").
9. Pro-taxes on businesses (closed loopholes, then raised business taxes by $300 million as Governor of Massachusetts, according to USA Today).
10. Pro-taxes and fees on the public (Romney raised state fees and taxes more than $740 million per year, according to independent experts. He raised fees by roughly $500 million in his first year alone, a figure that was highest in the nation. The state and local tax burden rose more than 7% during Romney's administration, while property taxes skyrocketed by 26% the highest level in 25 years).
11. Pro-amnesty for illegal immigrants (supports path to citizenship for illegals, his own words in 2006)
12. Anti-second amendment (In 2004, signed sweeping gun control legislation in Massachusetts permanently banning the sale of automatic firearms).
13. Mitt declared himself a "moderate" and says his views are "progressive." (his own words).
Oh, fixed the 13.
NOT conservative.
NOT moderate.
Liberal extremism.
