But Romney reinvented himself as staunch conservative in the debates, so I assumed we have been talking about the current version of Romney. Extreme on State's rights, abolishing FEMA, all that. It was good enough for the GOP to nominate him.
I mean you're wandering into some strange waters when you start claiming that the previous President and the current party candidate were somehow simultaneously Republican and not conservative.
George W Bush claimed to be a conservative, he spent money like a conservative President, he started pointless wars like a conservative President, he signed the Patriot Act and oversaw the Department of Homeland Security like one. He had the NSA spy on Americans via the AT&T debacle. Those sure the fuck aren't liberal actions.
