That's perfectly understandable Brumar. I actually agree with that. But to be fair....the liberalism you refer to was when he was Gov of MA...for heaven's sake...MA is one of the most liberal states in the Country. I personally think it was a major miracle that he ever won the Governorship of that state.... Governing the United States is an entirely different thing. The President is supposed to be President for ALL the people. That doesn't mean President of the Far Left nor the Far Right....It means ALL of the people. Something that Obama has not ever considered. This is why it's so difficult to find a candidate who not only is his/her own person, but will at least consider the other side of the issues. Looking at Romney's background, I would think that those of us on the Right issues, would at the very least, have a hearing as to our concerns. We do NOT have anything like that now.... Remember Obama saying "I WON...." Well, he took that to heart, and totally discounts at least 50% of the country. Hopefully, this is his achilles heel, and he will lose. We on the right can NOT do as Obama has done... He has totally ignored the Right ....every single chance he has, he continues to ignore our thoughts. WE CAN NOT BE GUILTY of this if Romney should win the Presidency. At the least we can listen..... I think if there are things that Romney has done before that truly concern us, we need to find a way to contact him or his staff and voice our concerns. If this SI board could find that path, we could at the very least, share hour concerns and have some sort of hope that he will know our thoughts...

He's talking a good game now, but he wants the nomination and election. Like you, I don't trust him............he's flip flopped on a number of issues..........and there's nothing worse than a flip flopping politician. If he is elected we need to hold his feet to the fire, but hoping that's not necessary. I'm also hoping he sticks to a conservative agenda. TWT And couldn't agree more.............it's one thing to criticize a candidate, it's a whole other matter when a candidate's supporters attack average Americans in the same party. Tearing everyone else down isn't a way of getting people to be FOR your guy.
