If only there were other commonalities he could embrace with other potential republican presidential candidates...

Bullshit. Romney only signed off on that because that is what the majority of his state wanted, and he is a good Gov. Sure some stupid people will buy this. Gulp-- most people are stupid.. scary.......

Well, he's not a candidate, but Obama has upheld nearly every policy developed by George W. Bush, including the Afghanistan surge policy, harsh terrorist interrogations, warrantless wiretapping, the Patriot Act and extraordinary renditions. In related news, of course, liberals now LOVE all these things, so any incoming Republican president need only voice his support for Obama's "staying the course" that Bush set during his administration...

Does that go for DOMA, DADT, Stem Cell, Start etc???

So if he's upheld nearly every Republican policy, why do you "conservative" guys spend so much time bashing him? Isn't he following Bush's program closely enough?

And Huckabee defended Michelle Obama's nanny state healthy food program, so he is dead in the water, too.

Bush was not a conservative. I agree with you 100% on that. So you're saying you didn't like Bush's policies either?

I think most Americans don't trust what Obama says anymore because much of his TelePrompTer speeches are just pure and unadulterated hype and spin written for him by his ill advised advisors...
So for his endorsement of Romney's health care in Massachusetts will be soon forgotten or doesn't mean anything.....IMHO

As opposed to the speeches by every other president written by their speechwriters and read off a teleprompter?

Some I liked and some I didn't. He spent money like a liberal, that I did not like. He left the border wide open, again like a liberal. The only policies of his I liked were mostly those dealing with pro-life issues, support for Israel and his stand on routing out terrorists. I couldn't see Bush actively working for the Muslim Brotherhood to take over the Middle East like Obama is doing...

No I believe we are talking about this President our 44th But how is he different than the previous guys who used speech writers and read off a teleprompter? They all did it, why is this guy unbelievable when he does it?

But then again I am NOT a Republican but NOT a big fan of Obama and socialism

So why is it so hard for you to understand that I might like some of Obama's policies but not others, even though you'd probably consider me a liberal?

Liberalism, socialism and progressive dems have caused my state to be near collapse.....ten years of tax and spending has left California on the verge of bankruptcy....unemployment at @15 % and state taxes and fees increasing to a point that businesses are closing and moving to Nevada, Texas, or Arizona..

No, catering to the whine asses who want everything has resulted in it. The first instinct of a representative is to make his constituents happy, which requires shipping them some government largesse. If anyone voted to cut off the programs, cash flow, etc., they wouldn't have a job.

It's one way to look at it..however as I said , and being a middle to the left , I guess i should finally come in from the cold as they use to say of the Cold War soies when outed, in case there were any doubts here, as to my leanings, , I have followed Milts career and have been impressed and if he gets the Republican I would listen closly and then make a decision , depending who ran for the dems, am thinking of course the president , but would have a open mind. Now the decision for that is not mine in any way, wouldn't send $ in support, vote in primaries just waiting for the dust to fall. See what came out of the battles. It would be up to the Pubs and with the way it seems to be going, Tea Party, super conservative on all things, Milt mught have a hard time getting that nomination, but thats the pubs problem in my book.

Gulp-- most people are stupid.. scary....... No the majority of his State did not want it Krickett..you really have to read and follow better..it was his deal..he had to convince the legislature, granted they were Dems in the majority , but it was a selling job. " and he is a good Gov" Now there I agree with you and even in that state with heavy liberal following, I think he would have pulled it off, if he decided tio run again instead of a all out for the Presidential nomination, naturally depending who the Dems put up..but as a Governor..he was A ok, my feelings. No didn't agree with all his policies but since when is that a criteria for support except for the dumb and dangerouse.

Google mass health plan for example... In November 2004, political leaders began advocating for major reforms of the Massachusetts health care insurance system to expand coverage. First, the Senate President Robert Travaglini called for a plan to reduce the number of uninsured by half. A few days later, the Governor, Mitt Romney, announced that he would propose a plan to cover virtually all of the uninsured.

race42012.com/2011/02/23/mitt-romney-vs-health-care-%e2%80%9cwhy-romneycare-makes-mitt-the-best-nominee-to-face-obama%e2%80%9d/February 23, 2011 Mitt Romney vs. Health Care: “Why RomneyCare Makes Mitt the BEST Nominee to Face Obama” It’s often revealing to turn conventional wisdom on its head and see what’s really hidden underneath. You’ve all heard it, I’m sure, that RomneyCare is Mitt’s doom, an albatross around his neck, his biggest weakness as a potential candidate. In Part 1 of this series I detailed not only how grave some people feel this issue is for Romney’s chances, but also pointed out that Obama and his team of key operatives (Axelrod, Gibbs, and Daley) are all praising RomneyCare as ObamaCare’s predecessor in an effort to hurt Mitt with the GOP’s conservative and libertarian bases. However, below I present what a great asset and strength Romney’s history and experience with health care will be to him as a general election candidate against Obama MUCH MORE...
