I believe Romney is a conservative. I mean the guy doesn’t even watch R-rated movies, or drink for crying out loud.

Well, the fact that he doesn’t drink or watch R-rated movies has to do with his religious beliefs, not his political ideology. There are plenty of Christians, Jews and liberals of other religious persuasions who have similar beliefs. You’re simply perpetuating the stereotype that all conservatives must be religious fundamentalists, a non sequitur.

The Massachusetts health care plan was:
1. Not Government run (still run by private insurance)
2. Did not involve a single payer plan and,
3. Was only a STATE program.

The Massachusetts Health Reform Law of 2006 expanded Medicaid coverage for the “poor” and subsidized coverage for those near the poverty level. In essence, you end up with a large percentage of the citizens being placed under a government run system. It also mandated that uninsured citizens purchase private health insurance or pay a substantial fine.

Is forced healthcare a conservative tenet? Is that the kind of thing a founding father would support? Somehow, I don’t think so.

Power to the states, not the Federal Government, was the original intent of the founding fathers of this country, and Romney has been adamant about his adherence to this principle.

Well, many of the founding fathers were Federalists and I wouldn’t necessarily conflate federalism with conservatism. A politician supporting a states’ right to allow abortion doesn’t make them a conservative. Too many politicians hide behind federalism in an effort to appear conservative, even though they are really progressives.

Conservatives cannot be called Conservatives if they push legislation from a national level that supports a constitutional ban on gay marriage, abortion or other social programs. It is unconstitutional for the Federal Government to make global legislation of this sort (for or against). Those who propose this, like Palin and Huckabee, are not Conservatives by the standards of our founding.

This is another non sequitur. A politician supporting a states’ right to allow abortion or some other progressive/liberal tenet doesn’t make them a conservative. Those who have true conservative and moral convictions, like a Mike Huckabee, will stand up and support a constitutional amended outlawing abortion.

Fact of the matter is, I can’t support Romney because I don’t trust him. I don’t believe he has any real convictions, other than what is politically expedient as the time. I’d take Huckabee over Romney any day.

Mitt Romney has never said he would want to take the Massachusetts plan nationally. He has always been a proponent of states making their own decisions. Power to the states, not the Federal Government, was the original intent of the founding fathers of this country, and Romney has been adamant about his adherence to this principle.
