I don't necessarily support Romney, I don't consider myself a Republican. I'm pretty much an independent.

Conservatives have long been suspicious that Romney isn't truly one of them. The release of his tax returns should settle the matter once and for all: He's not only to be accepted, but admired and emulated - and by liberals as well as conservatives.

I think Mitt Romney is a good man.

I was a Mitt Romney Republican because he was pro-business.

The more I learn about Mr. Romney, the less there is to admire.

Mitt Romney, quite simply, doesn't get it.

I would describe myself as a 'total conservative, a conscientious one.'

I'm actually quite conservative.

It has become more acceptable to describe yourself as a conservative, but not everyone who uses that term about themselves really is truly conservative.
