I was wrong about Fred, and I'm bummed about it. It looks like the mormon may be our only hope.

So now you're a Romney guy, eh? To be honest, he really scares me. Anyone who flips positions on matters of life really raises the red flag for me. Is this support of his fiscal policies or just general dissatisfaction with the rest of the field?
Well--Huckabee is nothing more than another Bill Clinton. If Romney scares you, then Huckabee should make you pee in your pants. (Sorry for the analogy, we're doing potty training.)
Huckabee is a massive social liberal. He raised taxes in AR more than Clinton. He wants immigration amnesty, and pushed to give illegals in-state tuition in ARK.
Similarly, McCain is another social liberal--with a very similar stance. Look at his track record. He did campaign finance reform, which is a debacle. He's pro-amnesty. He did a crappy education reform, and he also undermined the republicans by stopping them from killing the filibuster.
Rudy, again, is a social lib.
All these republican candidates seem to believe that the solution to our problems is bigger government--and they couldn't be more wrong. The solution to our issues is higher self-sufficiency, which entails smaller government.
There's really not a whole lot differentiating our people with Hillary at this point, as much as I hate to say it.
Too dang bad Ron Paul is a nut.
But to answer your question--both. He seems to be the most on-point financially, and the rest of the candidates really have no shred of conservatism to them.

Even if it was a single flip, and it was from pro-choice to pro-life?
Yeah ... even though it was a flip in the right direction (no pun intended), I still question how you can have a fundamental change of view of how you view life. I mean, its one thing for a teenager not to have considered the issue and change his/her opinion through informed counseling. But a politician SHOULD have considered this before entering the arena. If he didn't, he's stupid and I question his fitness to hold the office. If he did and then flips, I question the legitimacy of the flip.
