Is Mitt Romney A Conservative?

  I rated Mitt Romney on the Conscious Conservative Scale (see earlier posts).  It appears that Mitt Romney scores:

35 points -- Moderate

Mitt appears to favor a free labor force and ending the Estate Tax.  However, he just wants to tinker with the Income Tax and the Federal Reserve.  Romney said in New Hampshire that eminent domain is fine for "public purposes."  As a business person, he appears to be in favor of a Free Market and of little interference in the relationship between business and labor.  However, Mitt Romney favors the Patriot Act and supports all sorts of  government meddling in housing and personal issues.  He's more conservative than Obama, but less than Gingrich and he really can't be called A Conscious Conservative.
