Jorj,
You guys are pretty good with the "flip flopper" business...
Check this out from today's NY Times and he is your leader...makes Gingrich look like a real possible...LOL What will your leader believe in tomorrow or later today?
You people are so screwed...C'mon, find some more clowns for your debates and boo some more gay Iraq vets, cheer on executions, yell at the uninsured " let em die", boo Perry when he gets sensible about the immigration problems and boo Ron Paul when he says the defense department spends too much and is overextended.. . The Flip Flopper... >>" Mr. Romney’s evolution on the issues has been well documented. On abortion, he once called himself “pro-choice” and supported Planned Parenthood. But after being elected governor of Massachusetts, he publicly switched his position, declaring that the debate over stem cell research had convinced him of the “sanctity of life.” Since then, Mr. Romney has called himself “pro-life.”
As a candidate for a Massachusetts seat in the Senate, Mr. Romney wrote a letter in 1994 arguing that “we must make equality for gays and lesbians a mainstream concern.” The letter, to the Log Cabin Republicans, a gay advocacy group, said he would do more for gay rights than Senator Edward M. Kennedy, his Democratic opponent.
Since then, however, Mr. Romney has fought against gay rights, championing an amendment to the Massachusetts Constitution that would ban same-sex marriage. As a presidential candidate, he has opposed same-sex marriage and this summer signed a pledge to support a federal constitutional amendment that would define marriage as between one man and one woman.
On gun rights, Mr. Romney once defended the tough laws in Massachusetts, promising not to “chip away” at them. But more recently, he has stuck to the line favored by the National Rifle Association, proclaiming his unqualified support for the Second Amendment and saying government needs to enforce existing gun laws, not create new ones.
Now, when asked on the campaign trail if he has flip-flopped, Mr. Romney points to his book “No Apology,” which lays out his positions on the issues, and quickly moves on.
“It’s not that every single issue I looked at in my entire life I’ve never changed my view on,” Mr. Romney said at a recent town-hall-style meeting in New Hampshire. “In the private sector, if you don’t change your view when the facts change, well, you’ll get fired — for being stubborn and stupid. So I’m very happy with where I am and the things I believe.” "<<
