I think abortion was his only change and I guess I agree with his new position. Calling Romney a flip flopper is truly just a flat out distortion.

McCain has lied about Romney throughout this whole primary. He seems to think it is alright to destroy a good man, but no one can say a word against him..if they do, they are unpatriotic.

1) Whereas Romney dedicated himself in Massachusetts to "full equality for America's gay and lesbian citizens," he now describes himself as "a champion of traditional marriage." 2) As a candidate for Governor in a state known as Taxachusetts, Romney dismissed the idea of an antitax pledge as a gimmick and refused to sign it; as a G.O.P. presidential contender, he was the first in the 2008 field to put his name on one. 3) In Massachusetts he bucked the National Rifle Association by supporting the Brady Bill and an assault-weapons ban, boasting, "I don't line up with the N.R.A." Lately what he brags about is that he joined the gun-rights organization as a life member — last August. Romney has been so eager to prove his Second Amendment bona fides that he boasted in New Hampshire, "I've been a hunter pretty much all my life." But then his campaign admitted he had actually hunted only twice, once as a teenager and then last year, on a trip with G.O.P. donors. That was followed by still more clarification: Romney insisted he has hunted small animals for many years, though he does not actually own a firearm. 4) He didn't want to state his position on the troop surge in Iraq before it was obvious that it was going to take place. Once he found it out, then he jumped on the bandwagon. Romney is the ultimate political opportunist - nothing wrong with it. I actually like that. Just don't call him conservative. He is a nice business man and deserves a shot from that angle.
