Having said that, I believe a person can see the errors of their ways and change. I just prefer to see a few years go by, testing the sincerity of the change before putting a person into high office.
Having said that, I would definitely vote for Romney over Rudy. At least Romney is saying the right things and moving in the right direction on this issue.
Then again, we could debate honesty, consistency, integrity on the issue instead of ‘just saying what people want to hear’ like so many others.
“Having said that, I believe a person can see the errors of their ways and change.”
Romney’s problem that isn’t always mentioned by the media, is that this isn’t just a man making a recent change on a single issue.
In Romney’s case, it is so many things, his transformation from anti Reagan to being the second coming of Reagan, interlaced with the awkward and dishonest “adamantly pro-choice” Reagan attacks.
From anti gun, to a sudden lifetime NRA membership interlaced with the awkward and dishonest hunting and gun ownership stories.
The list keeps going, but the point never changes, this isn’t a guy that “grew”, this is a guy that went from holding deeply passionate, sincere beliefs to the opposite beliefs, and being instantly just as passionate and sincere, it too much to accept in such a short period.
I have never seen a candidate on such much damning video tape giving powerful, convincing arguments on both sides of so many positions.
This guy is good, but the problem is we see him being just as good, no matter which side he is defending.
I won’t vote for either of them, but at least Ruity doesn’t try to hide what he is. In that regard I have a lot more respect for him than I do for Wee Willard.
