Clearly, Romney is a Big-Government Republican.

Romney is a Republican? 

How the $%^%$@ did that happen?

[Simfan34]

Yeah, people seem to like that, cutting foreign aid and the like but not doing anything substantive.

Save the trains!

A new Marshall Plan for Africa!

Promote the Arts!

Support Science!

You know what would be bold?  Romney taking a stance on an issue and not changing a few years later.

I know, that is a lot to ask for

[Ⓐnarchy in the ☭☭☭P!]

What happened to 500 billion in cuts? I thought he at least managed half of what Paul did.

He's trying to be as vague as possible so nothing can be used against him in the primary and the general. Reminds me of Thomas Dewey. Maybe we'll have a 1948 repeat: President with lackluster approvals, an even less popular Congress, and a bland and vague Republican from the Northeast.

Doh. Do you think facts like this will stop the lying idiots from whining about 'disastrous' budget cuts?

This is actually exactly what I am expecting.  A bad economy through the early campaign season and a vague north eastern republican opponent that leads up until October.  And then a swing in public opinion, allowing Obama to squeak out a very narrow victory.
