Subject: Re: Thoughts on Romney
The Col: Political leanings doesn't make me far right. I'm a fiscal conservative. So are those on the far right. So are the moderates. I'm libertarian on some social issues. On matters of immigration policy I actually favor Regan's amnesty plan. However, liberals never have been serious about curbing the actual flow of illegals. Still, I don't hold to the radical idea of sending illegals back to Mexico etc. Especially if they have families here in the US. And I'm not alone. Many conservatives recognize that we have to do something to stop illegals from crossing our borders unchecked while still dealing with the illegals that we allowed (through our lax policies) to work and live in the US. That's hardly a far right position.

I am totally against abortion except for the life of the mother. That is a far right position but I have better arguments for my position than anyone on the left. Moderates who make exceptions for rape and incest are hypocrites. I do not make those exceptions.

I believe in small government. This is a far right position as it is a moderate view as well. Libertarians also want smaller government.

I want to see a decrease in spending across the board. I want unnecessary government departments closed for good. The EPA is a good place to start. I'd let each state take care of their own environmental concerns. I'd repeal healthcare because it's too costly and none of the Federal Govt business.

Even moderates want to see spending cuts. For that matter, so do some center leaning liberals. Most Americans agree with me that the healthcare bill needs to go. It was shoved down our throats with ZERO Republican support.

When you look at all my views, only an uninformed idiot could conclude I fit into the far right camp.

ps....bite me.
