Once again the Rockefeller Wing of the GOP is getting away with their usual tricks. Conservatives who always scream RINO at any deviation of what is 2010’s Conservative dogma are giving the most Leftist Republican since Teddy Roosevelt a pass. Romney now leads the GOP field with 23%. Perry and Cain are at 17% each.

Mitt Romney is an electoral disaster. He’s demagogic ads on Social Security and the illegal immigration issue. These 2 stances will come back and haunt Romney in the general election. His actions at Bain Capital means the GOP can kiss Ohio and Pennsylvania good bye. He is a liar and a bigot.
When will Conservatives wake up and realize the Elite Republicans use them?
