I just don't get it. There's not a hair's difference between Romney's past policies on immigration and McCain's, but Romney's the conservative?Have you seen Romney in the debate in Massachusetts defending so eloquently a woman's right to choose? And then rhapsodically recalling the image of his dear mother running for office on pro-choice platform?Did you see him promise more big spending in Michigan and Florida?Did you see that he appointed gay activist judges while governor of Massachusetts? Did you see he raised taxes in Mass (calling them fees doesn't mean they aren't taxes, they are--Ask Steve Forbes (who is endorsing McCain)).Did you notice Romney sticking his neck out for the surge in Iraq before it started working (NO HE DID NOT).Upon what, besides his unsubstantiated promises, do you consider him THE conservative candidate? Mitt has shown no spine in politics. He bends with whatever wind will get him elected. What makes you think he won't capitulate to a Democrat congress to get re-elected in 2012?You people have to get real. The only thing that has kept Mitt in this race is his own money, which he has stopped spending (note the fact that he has not produced a single new ad for Super Tuesday and his advertising budget has plummeted!). He cannot buy an election from the Democrats who raised $100 million last year. His campaign is $35 million in debt. How can he possibly compete!!!!See the WSJ article today about the courts by Steven Calabresi. If the idea of Obama appointing 6 supreme court justices that could be on the bench for the next quarter century doesn't scare you into voting for a candidate who can win, I don't know what will.
