On the contrary, an honest man can, and will, change his mind (perhaps more than once) on many issues over the course of his life.

Over the course of his life, sure. That's the mark of an honest and intelligent man, the willingness to accept that he might be wrong. But all at once? And right now?

As I said above, Romney flip-flopped on every major social issue right at the same time that he decided to run for President.

That doesn't concern you even a little bit? The timing is certainly suspect enough on its face to make me very skeptical. If a Dim had done it, we would be howling right now.

Sure, it concerns me a little bit, but coincidences do happen (and more frequently than most people believe). Perhaps I am more gullible than you; time will tell.

As I said, "For now, I will give him the benefit of the doubt on this point" (emphasis added).
