Romney's Obamacare Flip-Flop Proves Conservatives Can't Trust Him
With Obamacare ruling, Mitt Romney had a chance to win over conservatives, but he blew it
By Judson Phillips , Founder of Tea Party Nation
Is Mitt Romney blowing it? The better question would be, "Has Mitt Romney already blown it?"
Let's start with the basics. Romney is not a conservative. He is a liberal. This is his track record. He won the primary because he had more money than any of the other candidates and quite possibly more than all of them combined. Jonah Goldberg has argued that Romney is a late convert to conservatism, and as such does not speak the language of conservatives, much like someone who tried to pick up a foreign language as an adult.
When Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts declared the Obamacare tax to be just that, a tax, and the law was constitutional because of that, conservatives were outraged. Romney was clueless.
He sent his Etch a Sketch master Eric Fehrnstrom to announce that the campaign considered Obamacare to be a penalty, not a tax. Less than a week earlier, the Supreme Court had managed to do what Romney himself could not do. It united conservatives behind him. In five days, he managed to blow it. In one simple interview, Team Etch a Sketch took the wind out of their own sails and made conservatives simply wonder what the hell he was thinking.

I normally wouldn't link to obvious right wing propaganda, but it's great to see such a major split in their party and to see them attacking their Presidential candidate. hahahaha, not to mention the veiled threat at the end of the article.
