Segami (4,431 posts) 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.†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. cont' http://www.politicususa.com/romney-campaign-thinks-conservatives-mind-moves-left.html

Segami (4,431 posts)Romney's October Surprise- STAB Conservatives In The Heart by SHIFTING LEFT Conservatives need to reminded that Mitt ( if elected ) can't be trusted for a nano second Blah Blah Blah HE'S NOT A TRUE CONSERVATIVE!! Blah Blah Blah
If Romney is really a lib at heart then why the attack on him? they should want him to win
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.
Get your ****ing stories straight, asswads.
Lousy Freeper Troll!Hmmm. Whats the choice i have here?Not a true conservative vs a communist puppet for Sorros?I'll take the "not a true conservative" for $100, Alex.
