The 1994 version of Romney is a Democrat. That Mitt Romney is the Republican I was before 2000. How a party can adopt a platform like Republican's did this year and nominate what was a northern centrist is something else.
Exactly so. And like you, I say this as a Republican whose party abandoned him in 2000.
At the rate he is changing positions he will likely be a Massachusetts liberal if he gets there.
I think that is the strategy: to convince voters that he is Massachusetts Mitt and not Wingnut Willard. I sort of believe that he really is the liberal all his acquaintances say he is.

Honestly I just think he does not want to pay taxes and will do anything and everything else to seal the deal on that. I don't think he really cares all that much about other stuff like immigration, choice, guns, federal spending etc.

I doubt he is a Liberal in any real sense (by which I mean, in any sense other than the ridiculous one used by the Right these days). I suspect his real politics, fundamentally, are those of the Abbe Sieyes in the French Revolution, who is supposed to have been asked what he did in those days, and replied "I survived". In short, he's an opportunist, a political adventurer, the modern GOP's von Ribbentrop.
So you predict conservatives will get mad like Obama's communist Harvard professor/advisor in 2008 election got mad at him for not getting their agenda moving fast enough? I don't think any conservative expects him to be as conservative as you think. We'll just extremely happy to no longer have a communist wannbe in the White House.
I think you really missed the bus that left the station around 1970 or so!!!!!!!
You wouldn't know what a communist was if it jumped up and bit your nose. The "Communist boogyman" is just SOOOOOOO lame it hurts to read it.
President Romney. Get used to it, lefties. It's going to be a long 8 years for you.
Yes President Romney for a big coorporation that ships jobs to china. Yes, President Romney of X corporation can snuggle in his plush office and turn on NBC and watch the Commander in Chief 2 term President Barack Obama on NBC giving his Address to the Nation. As President Romney of X corporation watches; he thinks damn--I am such a failure, i have no back bone, i chose Paul Ryan, thats why i am not POTUS.
Mitt Romney can throw his name in the ring in 2020, we dont want to see him continue to embarass himself as he has for the last 10 yrs After he loses in 2012 he will get the message that he is NOT wanted in the White House.
When did he say that? I have an understanding of Republican ideology, that's why I said it. That said, I think it's odd I've never heard Mitt explain it that way or anyone else.
He says it every time the topic is brough up to defend his socialist tendencies. A conservative would not promote socisalism at local level, state level, federal level, or globally.
Hell Mitt would likely become a Democrat if it meant the difference between winning and losing...after all it isn't the first time.
Absolutely. If he doesn't win this time, he'll probably run as a Democrat in 2016.
