Romney's October Surprise- STAB Conservatives In The Heart by SHIFTING LEFT
Last edited Tue Oct 9, 2012, 08:44 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1)
Conservatives need to reminded that Mitt ( if elected ) can't be trusted for a nano second and will burn them at the first chance by appointing a LIBRULE Supreme Court Justice and a lot more anti-conservative positions. Once he's anointed president, they can all go **** themselves because folks, HE'S NOT A TRUE CONSERVATIVE!!.......this bug needs to placed into their craw and give them nightmares!
Conservatives were so excited by Mitt Romney’s manic attack performance during the first presidential debate that they missed the fact that Romney changed all of his positions except kill PBS. Indeed, Romney fashioned himself into an Obama-lite during the first debate, abandoning his previous positions in order to appeal to more voters. Conservatives didn’t seem to mind, which might indicate that they are more on board with attacking Obama than any real ideology. However, that’s a slippery slope for the Republican presidential candidate to navigate, because if conservatives realize what he actually said, they might not appreciate being played by Romney.
Conservatives are going to be played, like it or not, because the Romney camp interpreted their blood lust as tacit approval to move further to the left. Romney campaign officials told Politico that while their electoral map still looks terrible, “conservatives were so down on the campaign before the debate — and so rapturous during it — that they will give him a lot of maneuvering room to talk in more moderate ways.†I suspect the Romney campaign has underestimated the Right if they think that the Right was giving them the okay to moderate his positions. It’s more likely that conservatives were distracted by the rapture of Romney attacking Obama and ignored the substance of how he accomplished it.
In February of this year, Romney was telling conservatives another story in Toledo Ohio. He said, “I’m in favor of a pro-life policy. The legislation that relates to abortion which is something that is going to have to be approved by the Supreme Court and the key decisions I’ll take as the president will be number one, stopping funding for Planned Parenthood, re-instituting the Mexico City policy which says our funds can’t be used for abortion around the world and appointing justices to the Supreme Court that will follow the Constitution, hopefully reverse Roe v. Wade, and return to the states, the authority for making law with regards to abortion.â€
We mentioned this during the debate freakout, but it’s worth repeating. Romney “won†by losing himself and all of his previous positions except for the kill PBS stance. Will conservatives allow him to move so far to the left that he is the Obama lite he presented at the debate? That would suggest that conservatives don’t really disagree with Obama’s policies at all, and don’t really have an ideology other than hating Obama. Perhaps conservatives are clinging to the fact that while Romney changed his rhetoric, he hasn’t officially changed any of his policies to match the rhetoric. But that’s a lot of faith to put in someone who is best known for flip flopping, and someone whom the base has never trusted fully. It’s not as if Romney has specified any of his plans in detail, so anyone taking him at his constantly evolving word is risking being had.

Okay I didn't see the whole debate, so I am wondering which positions did he switch on?
From what I saw and heard he was saying the same things he has been saying all along.
I am amused though that they say we can't trust Romney so we should vote for 0bama, when 0bama has proven that he can't be trusted to order lunch much less run a country. I would much rather be bitching for the next 4 years that Mitt isn't conservative enough than to put up with another years of the lying Marxist continuing to ruin what is left of our country.

1. Really no surprise...
Bottom line for the right is elect Romney...lie or whatever it takes...I really can not believe th USA is that stupid...but we reelected Bush so , hey.
0bama's entire campaign is based on lies. Lies about his own record and lies about Romney's beliefs.

Okie Dokie! I'll make sure most of us in my family votes for Obama now! ::)
-
Well, I'm persuaded.
Not.
-
This is just another piece of poo being flung by the left. I heard the same talking point by a dem mouthpiece on Fox earlier.
-
Segami, let me explain something to you, moonbat.
Is Romney as conservative as I would like? No. But given how terrible Dear Leader has been the last 4 years, I'll take my chances.
Now, wanna try your stupid little argument again?

I somehow think Romney can actually do the job of president and not just pay one on TV like Obama.
He isn't conservative enough personally, but with a Republican congress, he will sign off on conservative items. Obama won't.

You can't blame them as they have nothing, and it's the premise of Elizabeth Warren's entire campaign - keep saying Brown is a Republican, that will shame the Ds in MA to vote for her.
In this case, they are trying to upset the Republican base... except the base has known all along what Romney stands for. This is a classic instance of the repeat-the-lie-long-enough used by the left blowing up in their faces. The lie being the bullshit the media has spinned about Romney. He hasn't changed anything. They won't get that until the election results start coming in.

If Romney is really a pro-abortion, big-spending liberal lite why does DU keep telling us he's out to cut social services and wage war on women?
From this blather he sounds like someone liberals could be comfortable with.
Get your ****ing stories straight, asswads.

If Romney is really a lib at heart then why the attack on him? they should want him to win :???:
-
I'll be having breakfast with senator Jim DeMitt and US representative Mick Mulvanny next week. I'll be sure to tell them to keep Mitt on the straight and narrow.
Breakfast is scheduled for 8:30 am....that's late for me so I will be short and to the point...now lets eat.

Yeah. What better way is there to lead a republican congress into passing liberal crap.

Thread jack. Rumor has it a major announcement will be made today about a lawsuit brought against Warren for practicing law in Mass. without a license.
Lets hope so.

They're such idiots, they did the same thing with GWB. "He's a raving moron!" "He's an evil genius!"

Bingo. My expectations for Romney on any non-fiscal Conservative issues were never all that high in the first place, but this country can't take four more years of unaccountable ineptitude supported by corrupt thugs, a 'Social justice' primary policy orientation, and a fawning press.

This s actually plausible, given Romney's past history. But I do believe he's learned his lesson and will not do that.
