For which you have only your blind faith.
One could as easily believe that Romney is a liberal extremist -- he ran to the LEFT of Ted Kennedy on social issues, after all -- who has tried to avoid taking any strong stands so he could redefine himself based on whatever political office he decided to run for in the future. US Senate? He's a liberal! Republican primary for governor? He's a conservative! General election for governor? He's just to the right of his psycho liberal opponent! Republican presidential primary? He's a conservative! General election? He's a moderate again!
Um, no, actually, he actually pretty much said exactly that when he was running for Governor.
I'm paraphrasing, but I believe the statement that got the most press was, "Personally, I'm pro-life, but I recognize I'm in the minority in our great state, and as Governor, I will not change the abortion laws and will protect a women's right to chose."
Is it a bit of a dodge? Sure, but it makes it pretty clear where he is coming from. Besides that, he wasn't even so much taking a stand as he was conceding the truth. He wasn't going to be able to change any abortion laws as Governor even if he wanted to with the legislature as overwhelmingly D as it is. What's more, actions speak louder then words, and he's vetoed several pieces of legislation favored by the pro-choice crowd, as well as been on the forfront in the fight against gay marriage.
Given the rest of the politicians in this crazy state, Romney is a breath of fresh air, despite his squishiness and compromises. I do think his heart is in the right place.
