Wants to raise tax on middle class. Cut taxes on the rich even more-so than the Bush tax cuts.
Thinks Social Security is a Ponzi Scheme.
Cosponsored the "Personhood" amendment - which is some pretty gnarly anti-abortion legislation.
Supports over 40 billion dollars in Big Oil subsidies - all while he has ownership stakes in companies that would highly benefit financially from these subsidies.
Wants to end Medicare and replace it with some crazy 'voucher system' which wouldn't even be set to increase while medical costs increase - leaving pretty much everyone who qualifies for them without healthcare benefits.
Actually accused generals and other military personel that they were lying when they stated they supported Obama's military budgetting policies.
The Catholic Church itself has criticized him (He's Catholic) for his proposals on cutting programs that would help the poor/disenfranchised, and basically pointed a finger at him saying that he was totally misreading his catholic teachings (having been raised Catholic myself, I can agree with this, based on his actions and what he supports)
Embraces Ayn Rand's teachings heavily (Objectivism - Which is based around such things as Rational-Egoism - AKA not giving a fuck about anyone but yourself and your own best interests, and finding some weird moral reasoning to do so, and lassaiz-faire capitalism which tanked the world in 1929)
Has criticized Romney and Romneycare many times (which is why this whole thing's especially kinda funny..) and bitches hard about it, and it's similarities to the Affordable Healthcare Act all the time.
Wants to eliminate Pell Grants for 1 million students - Pell Grants which made college something that I, and many many other students could actually afford - seeing as my parents absolutely couldn't financially help me for shit with it due to the budget crisis, and being dead-set middle class.
In some of his earlier budget proposals, the conclusion would end up killing off over 4 million jobs within 2 years.
Basically, I see this as Romney trying to get the highly conservative base back into his camp (Same way McCain did it 4 years ago with Palin) because this guy is far more conservative than Romney is.
