Romney in no Reagan. Reagan spoke often of prolife issues and stood who those who were in the trenches. Romney has refused to go to conservative events. Romney has lied back and forth depending on who he is taking to. He promised the log cabin rep he would get gay marriage though and that it would take a rep not a dem to do it. Mitt Romney’s Dismal Record

"As U.S. real output grew 13 percent between 2002 and 2006, Massachusetts trailed at 9 percent.

  • Manufacturing employment fell 7 percent nationwide those years, but sank 14 percent under Romney, placing Massachusetts 48th among the states.

  • Between fall 2003 and autumn 2006, U.S. job growth averaged 5.4 percent, nearly three times Massachusetts' anemic 1.9 percent pace.

  • While 8 million Americans over age 16 found work between 2002 and 2006, the number of employed Massachusetts residents actually declined by 8,500 during those years.

"Massachusetts was the only state to have failed to post any gain in its pool of employed residents," professors Sum and McLaughlin concluded.

In an April 2003 meeting with the Massachusetts congressional delegation in Washington, Romney failed to endorse President Bush's $726 billion tax-cut proposal."

Why should social conservatives vote for Romney? To stop Obama? We are turning into the democrats. Sheople who happily move left with Romney will have him for 8 years. Compromise if you want. This is chess not checkers. Giving the country Romney will only allow the left to move further left. Welcome to Greece
