Romney did a terrible job as governor in Massachusetts. He had such a low approval rating there was no way he'd be re-elected. He appointed a liberal judge that was an activist for abortion. He ordered judges to perform homosexual marriages even though there was no law on the books making him do so. Under his leadership, job growth was among the worst in the nation. But, to his credit, he did cut taxes. Unfortunately, he cut funding for first responders that it forced the local areas to raise their taxes. The "Tax Freedom Day" was close to 2 weeks later after only 4 years of his "leadership." If that is his form of conservatisism; I don't want any part of it.
