On his radio show today, Mark Levin mentioned an article in American Spectator by Jeffrey Lord. It’s recommended reading if you want to know why Mitt Romney is a “Rockefeller Republican”, and what that means, exactly. An excerpt:
“… as Mark Levin said of Romney with his usual sharp eye to discerning those who love to cite Ronald Reagan while in fact demonstrating they are anything but:
In Iowa he’s for ethanol subsidies [and] in New Hampshire he’s for controlling man-made global warming. I can’t support this man in the Republican Primary. There’s just no way without compromising all my principles.
Romney “basically destroyed health care in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,” Levin added, and with no pleasure, speculating on the disaster that would ensue in an administration where the Romney mind-set was appointing an EPA administrator.
Concluded the Club for Growth of Romney’s approach:
He would promote the unwinding of Obama’s bad economic policies, but we also think that Romney is somewhat of a technocrat. After a career in business, quickly finding a “solution” seems to be his goal, even if it means more government intrusion as a means to an end. To this day, Romney supports big government solutions to health care and opposes pro-growth tax code reform — positions that are simply opposite to those supported by true economic conservatives.
Or, as the Wall Street Journal pithily headlined, Romney’s approach qualifies him as “Obama’s Running Mate.”
And who can forget Rush Limbaugh noting Romney’s global warming remarks, saying: “Bye bye nomination”?
