The myth that Romney is a conservative

Posted by zbigniewmazurak on July 17, 2008

Romney is not a conservative because he’s a liberal. On every issue, Romney has delivered liberal speeches and he has a liberal record. His claim that he could bring together the Reagan coalition of military conservatives, fiscal conservatives and social conservatives. He won’t get the votes of any of these 3 groups, because he’s a socioeconomicomilitary liberal.
Several exemplary liberal policies of Romney:
1) Abortion: Romney said that abortion should be legal according to the American law, and his record confirmed that.
2) SSM: Romney claimed he’s a proponent of the Federal Marriage Amendment, yet he did not ban SSM when he governed MA, nor does he have any other conservative marriage-related record.
3) Taxes: Romney increased fees by $700 mn as a Massachusetts governor. He doesn’t favour the FairTax.
4) The UN: Romney claimed he would work with “a reformed UN”, even though the UN is unreformable.
5) The US military: Romney would spend only 4% of GDP on the US military, which is an insufficient level. Moreover, Romney’s corporation, Bain Capital, was actually collaborating with the Chicomm military to produce weapons for that military. Romney is a traitor. Moreover, Romney refused to admit that the Iraqi war was a good decision (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=PURfrORhWPc&feature=related).
6) Torture: Romney has refused to answer whether waterboarding is torture or even to say what is torture.
7) America’s infrastructure: Romney opposed Huckabee’s infrastructure-related plan which would’ve modernised and expanded America’s transport-related network. Unless America’s infrastructure is modernised and grown, the US economy will not grow any faster than now, and America will not become independent from foreign oil.
8) The 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution: Romney is an advocate of infringements of that constitutional rights. He said in 2002: “We do have tough gun laws in Massachusetts. I support them”. And his laws reflected that declaration.
9) Veterans: Romney insulted Robert Dole, a WW2 hero.
Today, I’ve compiled this table of eight Republican Presidential candidates from “eight” – i.e. the year 2008 – who were measured by how conservative they are (these 8 candidates were judged by both their records and their speeches). Romney fared the worst, because he was the least conservative of all eight candidates. His conservative score was merely 27% (15/54).
By endorsing Romney, NRO editors, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham proved that they are not conservatives, but liberals.
Several myths about Romney have been posted on AT. I will now dispel them:
1) “Mitt had to govern a very left liberal state with dems running both state houses.” No. He volunteered to govern it because it was the only state where he, an ultraliberal, would’ve been accepted as a governor. He’s a liberal, so MA was a perfect state for him.
2) “Mitt on the other hand has shown that he can work”
He has produced no good results. Bain Capital was collaborating with the Chicomms – enemies of the American people. The 2002 Olympiad has burdened SLC with a debt. As governor of MA, Romney introduced Hillarycare (taxpayer-funded HC), preserved women’s right to kill children, and preserved infringements on the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution.
3) “Romney can bring together social conservatives, military conservatives and fiscal conservatives.” He can’t. As I’ve already proven, he isn’t a social conservative, nor a military conservative, nor a fiscal conservative.
