there are no moderates allowed to run for anything in the republican party
Who thinks he's a conservative or a severe conservative?
He's a big gov't liberal, Obama learned everything he knows about big gov't healthcare from Romney.

I have been praying they are pulling Santorum to the forefront only temporarily so as to clearly distinguish what is and what is not part of the Presidential platform once Romney wins... IOW to better separate Romney from the Religious zealots in the GOP so he will have better appeal to any erstwhile wary Independents and Moderates in the general election...

John McCain was a moderate. He won the nomination.
Bob Dole was a moderate. He won the nomination.
Even George H.W. Bush was a something of a moderate...he won the Presidency.
I personally am not interested in running another moderate...I think I'm entitled to have my own opinion and vote for a candidate whose positions most closely matches my own philosophy and ideals....don't you?
Isn't that what the right to vote is all about?
The problem I have with Romney is he wants to piss down your back and claim that it's raining.
Which brings me back to the original question.
If Romney isn't a moderate...who is?
Great video in my previous post to Jillian...it's Anderson Cooper's analysis, using Romney's own words and voting record.

Who is "they"...
Are you hoping that the republican establishment elites have enough power and iron fisted control of the party to organize a manipulation of the primary process to further their goal of thrusting their chosen candidate Romney upon us once again?
While I wouldn't put it past them...it is failing miserably.
Santorum has a double digit lead over Romney nationally.
I don't put much stock in those polls, AT ALL.
Democrats would love to go against Santorum because it is an absolute slam-dunk for Obama.

I haven't had a chance to watch the video yet, but generally speaking, I have read most of Mitt's apparent contradictions and can find a rational explanation for them, if you delve into the context, etc... Beyond those minor (IMO) concerns, I would just much rather see a real National debate on the budget and the healthcare mandate. This country does not need more useless divisive rhetoric, demonizing women and gays, once again controlling our National dialogue...

Romney grasps one basic concept.... that to be President, one should be President for ALL Americans which means one must be moderate in one's actions, even when one is personally conservative. Americans seem to have forgotten that concept... mainly because we've elected a couple of total fucking morons in past decade.
