Romney's Sins

In no particular order. Just making my list . . . and checking it twice.


  • thinks the 1st Amendment is first
  • wants to index the minimum wage to inflation
  • supports ethanol subsidies
  • flipped on abortion at least 3 times
  • supported Obama's murder of an American citizen
  • supports TARP
  • has a weird religion
  • thinks W prevented a depression
  • believes in the individual mandate in principle
  • was soft on public unions in Ohio
  • thinks government coercion in healthcare is conservative
  • believes in progressive income taxation
  • reassures liberals by pledging to soften up conservatives
  • reassures liberals that Republicans like him can make liberal extremism seem almost mainstream
  • supports domestic partner benefits
  • thinks it's a good idea to shift away from fossil fuels
  • he's way too rich to lead the charge to abolish the progressive tax code even if he wanted to
  • the world's getting warmer and humans contribute to that
  • farm subsidies are a national security issue
  • supports No Child Left Behind
  • agrees with Milos Forman: Obama's no socialist
  • Bain Capital bailed out companies just like Obama bailed out GM and Chrysler
  • corporate restructuring is job creation
  • "We must make equality for gays and lesbians a mainstream concern"
  • "ObamaCare is not worth getting angry about"
  • "I was an independent during the time of Reagan-Bush"
  • "Fox is watched by the true believers"
  • spending cuts will cause a recession or even a depression
  • gladly accepts support of John McCain in 2012 even though McCain said in 2010 that Obama's was a left-wing crusade to bankrupt America
  • won't light his hair on fire for that angry mob, the Republican base
