How do you figure that McCain is more conservative than Romney?
Simply from his years in Arizona. Take a look at his voting records.
Romney has literally changed his mind on every single key issue that social conservatives, for example, look to. McCain has had a few changes of heart at times as well, but nothing of the extent Romney has.
Well, there is the 'old" MA gov Romney, and the "new" Pres candidate Romney.
The old one wasn't very conservative, the new one strikes me as VERY conservative.
Illegal immigration - IMO Romney is clearly more conservative if that is defined as no amnesty (no matter how it's "dressed up" in new terminology).
Taxes? Same thing, although all the Repub candidates sound like major tax cutters now. But I would hold McCain's record against him here and give the edge to Romney.
Pro-guns? Hard to sound more pro-2nd amendment than Romney now.
Anti-abortion? Here again Romney is over there woith the Huch wanting to ban it.
Strong National Defense? McCain prolly wins here because we KNOW how he acts wrt this issue.
Ilegal immigration is my biggest issue by far. Romney, Thompson & Paul are the only ones I could vote for based on that issue.
