LOL, what nonsense, Romney did not grow, or learn conservatism over a period of time.
Romney was a hard lefty, and then switched to run for president.
I don’t think that you even know what his politics are.
You would argue that Mitt Romney became pro-life over time, that he learned the truth, when did that happen? why? what changed in his life, what was his epiphany? What is Romney’s current position on abortion right now, as we post to each other, do you know?
By every measure, Romney is a decent, God fearing, family oriented American. If he was once a "Liberal," his whole basic orientation cries out to him to move to the Right--to move towards defending the heritage of family oriented Americans.
Moreover, the policies that he followed in Massachusetts, were policies that most of the people, there, seemed to want. I think that he was far more "Liberal," at one time; but even that may not be completely so. It is certainly a debatable point, whether one compromises his personal integrity, by giving people what they want in their own State.
Now, personally, I could not run for Governor of Massachusetts, advocating increased meddling in the peoples' lives--even were I a citizen of the State. I find intrusive Government fundamentally offensive. But I am not so opinionated that I cannot allow that someone else might feel that in saving people money, while humoring what they seem to want, I might still be serving.
But enough of this pointless argument. This thread is about whether Jindal should have attacked Romney for pointing out that those who got free cell phones, basically were bought voters. The idea of the free cell phones was to do that. Romney should be commended for calling it as it is.
