Mitt Romney has had no such conversion. He was always pro-abortion until he decided to run for president six or so years ago and he realized that he had to say he was pro-life in order to win the GOP nomination. If he had experienced a real change he would talk about it, but he doesn't, he wants people to believe he has always been pro-life and this is a lie.

Agreed. I hate to accuse someone of lying about being pro-life, but I fear that Romney has claimed that belief for purely expedient reasons. Someone posted a picture of Romney and his family yesterday or the day before, if I recall correctly, and the implication was that this was evidence that Romney is pro-life. But is it? I am unconvinced. His political record says not.

Ah, but you see? According to some on here, if you actually want conservative candidates instead of spineless lying RINOs, then you're arrogant and inexperienced and don't know how to win.

See, if you want to learn to play the game like a pro, then you're going to have drop all this junk about "principles" and stuff. You're going to have to learn to scratch backs and trade favours and smoke cigars in the back room with the other politicos. If that means going along with smokescreens like "Romney is pro-life," then so be it. If you want to get anywhere in politics and be a big-shot player, then you're going to have to start learning to do what's best for the country Republican Party leadership caste.
