Mitt Romney lies about abortion
Red State ^

Posted on 09/27/2006 11:07:20 AM PDT by SDGOP

In his latest interview with RedState, Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney responds to a question about his abortion position by saying that he's never adopted the label "pro-choice."

That's all well and good. Mitt Romney wants to be called pro-life. I'd like to be the King of all Londinium and wear a shiny hat.

But let's not kid ourselves: there is no substantive difference between the position labeled "pro-choice," declaring your support for "the right to choose." And that is something that Mitt Romney has done repeatedly over the course of his political career. To say otherwise is to tell a lie.

The Massachusetts State Legislator is veto proof democrat. There is no way Romney would have succeeded in reversing any abortion law in this state.

You don't have to tell me that. Enjoy Duvall by the way. What a train wreck that's going to be. Watching the people of Massachusetts commit stupicide again. "Yes we can..."

One thing I admire about GWB is that he takes some unpopular positions.

Being PRO-LIFE is not an unpopular position. (except to Liberals, Libertarians and most democrats)

How backwards can you get. You don't understand a thing about the Mormon church. What you think you know is what someone else has told you, mostly agendized lies to keep hold of a congregation and thus a paycheck, and I sincerely doubt you've EVER gone to the source for information, or even an unbiased non-Mormon source like Jan Schipps for instance, a leading non-Mormon academic source on the LDS Church who points out the positive and a few of the negatives as well. But what you no doubt have gone to are the Michael Moore types like the Godmakers and other demagogues who fill their movies and books with outrageous, Michael Moore-like lies and people like you don't bother to look for a counterveiling viewpoint. Frankly, the sloppiness and deceit by the people who write those screeds and make those vile films that have been condemned by the National Council of Christians and Jews are just Michael Moores wearing a religious mantle.

I'm sorry, but you've fallen prey to deceit and believe it's scholarly research. I've been on both sides of this debate and I know the lies and deception spread by those who have an axe to grind against the LDS Church. I've seen the falsehoods of their claims first hand, so that is why I am entirely incredulous when you claim you've done some clear-headed and fair minded review of the LDS church. Your mean-spirited post that mocks what Mormons find sacred, and that you simply do not understand, makes that all too clear.

I have nothing more to say to someone with such backwards, and Islamic fundamentalist-like, views someone so stunted as to dismiss an otherwise worthy candidate based on religion. Just like the jihadists, you people use religion to divide, not unite, and to create anger and bitterness, not love and compassion as Jesus Christ taught.

He was not so protected. He could have been removed, despite what what you are smoking.

You have no idea what you are talking about. I take it you don't live in Massachusetts and are completely ignorant of how things work around here.

To blame the Big Dig on Romney is such rubbish and shows your complete lack of knowledge on the subject. I suggest you quit know while you still have a little bit of diginty left.

Matt was protected and it was the only reason he was around during Mitt's term. To say otherwise is to distort the truth of the matter.

Your ad hominems and lack of logic do NOT support socialized medicine including where illegal aliens will still get free health care.

Illegals get free health care when they go into any hospital in the United States.

Nice try.

Sen. Frist? Sen. Allen? A strong conservative like Tancredo?

Who are you supporting?

I read through some of SDGOP's posts. He appears to be a George Allen supporter, while trashing all other potential GOP nominees. I like Allen too, but the other candidates all have strong positive attributes (with the possible exception of McCain).

If you can believe the polls in the local media, it's in the bag for Duval...but that is the Boston media so keep hope alive. New Hampshire stands ready for more refugees.

Despite your confabulation and disingenuity, I did not blame the Big Dig incompetence on Romney
but pointed out that instead of perpwalking Matt out when he could, he let the perp "gold parachute", so that absence of dignity is solely in your posts.

"Matt was protected and it was the only reason he was around during Mitt's term. To say otherwise is to distort the truth of the matter."

You don't appear to know what you are talking about. Only the Bulgers are (were) protected.

And your comments on the Mass-imposed health insurance plan further suggests that you
are relatively clueless about the issues involved, consistent with you inaccurate rant on my post.

He is only responsible for 2002, George Allen is responsible for 2004. Frist is a horrible speaker, uninspiring, has no executive experience. He is bob dole reloaded. At least bob dole had his war hero status going.

I'm not obligated to take your assignment. But for the sake of arguement lets play:

Romney
1)Looks good on tv
2)Has a good executive background
3)Did a good job at the salt lake city olympics
4)Managed to balance the budget in Massachusets
5)Told Khatemi to pound sand.

Some folks believed that the adverse actions against folks at Tailhook were partly or completely politically-motivated and unfair persecutions.

Sign me up, sitetest ... I believed it then and believe it now, as well.
