Romney's October Surprise- STAB Conservatives In The Heart by SHIFTING LEFT

[Segami]

Conservatives need to reminded that Mitt ( if elected ) can't be trusted for a nano second and will burn them at the first chance by appointing a LIBRULE Supreme Court Justice and a lot more anti-conservative positions. Once he's anointed president, they can all go fuck themselves because folks, HE'S NOT A TRUE CONSERVATIVE!!.......this bug needs to placed into their craw and give them nightmares!






Conservatives were so excited by Mitt Romney’s manic attack performance during the first presidential debate that they missed the fact that Romney changed all of his positions except kill PBS. Indeed, Romney fashioned himself into an Obama-lite during the first debate, abandoning his previous positions in order to appeal to more voters. Conservatives didn’t seem to mind, which might indicate that they are more on board with attacking Obama than any real ideology. However, that’s a slippery slope for the Republican presidential candidate to navigate, because if conservatives realize what he actually said, they might not appreciate being played by Romney.



Conservatives are going to be played, like it or not, because the Romney camp interpreted their blood lust as tacit approval to move further to the left. Romney campaign officials told Politico that while their electoral map still looks terrible, “conservatives were so down on the campaign before the debate — and so rapturous during it — that they will give him a lot of maneuvering room to talk in more moderate ways.” I suspect the Romney campaign has underestimated the Right if they think that the Right was giving them the okay to moderate his positions. It’s more likely that conservatives were distracted by the rapture of Romney attacking Obama and ignored the substance of how he accomplished it.




In February of this year, Romney was telling conservatives another story in Toledo Ohio. He said, “I’m in favor of a pro-life policy. The legislation that relates to abortion which is something that is going to have to be approved by the Supreme Court and the key decisions I’ll take as the president will be number one, stopping funding for Planned Parenthood, re-instituting the Mexico City policy which says our funds can’t be used for abortion around the world and appointing justices to the Supreme Court that will follow the Constitution, hopefully reverse Roe v. Wade, and return to the states, the authority for making law with regards to abortion.”




We mentioned this during the debate freakout, but it’s worth repeating. Romney “won” by losing himself and all of his previous positions except for the kill PBS stance. Will conservatives allow him to move so far to the left that he is the Obama lite he presented at the debate? That would suggest that conservatives don’t really disagree with Obama’s policies at all, and don’t really have an ideology other than hating Obama. Perhaps conservatives are clinging to the fact that while Romney changed his rhetoric, he hasn’t officially changed any of his policies to match the rhetoric. But that’s a lot of faith to put in someone who is best known for flip flopping, and someone whom the base has never trusted fully. It’s not as if Romney has specified any of his plans in detail, so anyone taking him at his constantly evolving word is risking being had.

1. Really no surprise...

Bottom line for the right is elect Romney...lie or whatever it takes...I really can not believe th USA is that stupid...but we reelected Bush so , hey.

[Andy823]

2. Yes

If he continues on this "new path" of being a "moderate", some of those really hard core teabagger conservatives may get really pissed off at him for saying the things he is now saying. For some stupid reason Romney must think that he has the far right crazies all ready to vote for him so now he has to get the more moderate republicans and independents to vote for him. Thing is you can't please everyone, and he can lie all he wants, somebody isn't going to like what he is saying, and it could cost him some of the votes he "thinks" he has in his pocket!

3. Mitt needs to be driven to vocalize these 'lefty' positions on camera

so we can generate video evidence to pound conservatives with it 24/7. This is the stretch drive to election day and there is no room for wieners to be second guessing positions or unsure of making bold moves. EVERY button needs to pushed that will jerk conservative heads around like Linda Blair.

4. That's a really interesting point.

The teabaggers never trusted Rawmoney to begin with. This bizarre turnaround could make them feel really used and betrayed ... and angry as hell. And the xtian right could go nuclear over his flipping on abortion rights. I don't know if Fox and the whole retinue of right - wing talkers combined could convince them that he's really on their side. Not with his "liberal" history in MA.

5. Republicans only care about kicking out Obama

They don't really care that Romney may not be a true conservative. Even then, they accuse Bush of not being truly conservative, yet they would never vote for the Democratic alternative.

6. this should be posted on every rw site there is

so let it be done

[spanone]

7. probably the plan all along.

[woo me with science]

8. There's an important lesson here.

Standing up for the people against the looters is the way to win this election, period.

It seems the Romney camp has figured that out and is trying to respond at least with rhetoric, albeit NOT with policy.

This is why it's so important to keep speaking out and pushing our side to respond strongly with BOTH.

Save Social Security. No Chained CPI, no increase in FICA taxes, no increase in eligibility age.

Say it loudly: "No Grand Bargain, ever again."

[reformist2]

9. The only things he really cares about are his money, and his ego... all else is negotiable.

That's the message I'd want to tell all voters - that he's not a conservative, a liberal, or even a moderate. His only concern is his wealth, and his vanity.

10. This turd-chicken hawk now wants to play tough guy and get other families to sacrifice.

I can't understand why anyone in the military would trust what comes out of this POS multi-mouths. Can they not see the empty suit before them? Romney, his five sons and generations of the Romney bloodline have NEVER served their country in a time of war. The first thing on the agenda if elected is to provoke an event that could invite a U.S. military response, a prelude to war. Sound familiar? Look at the neo-con axis of weasels foreign policy advisors he has surrounded himself with. They want war!! He is taking our military for a joy ride conning them to sacrifice for neocon ambitions, but as always, you will never see any of their own brood spill blood for country. Wake up military. These are empty suits playing with your lives and loved ones. What a sham!!
