Positioned right of McCain and without the dendril plaque. Yeah he's looking okay right here.
(I'll care in a year or so)
Is this the same Mitt Romney as the Mitt Romney, former governor, Mass., who recently garnered 12 percent of the republican poll for president?
THis spineless rino goes which ever way the wind is blowing. I will not vote for him.
>>>Woo Hoo!!! Only two more years of this presidential campaign cr*p...
No shiite.
Romney is nothing but bad news.
Are you married?
"There is no doubt that Governor Mitt Romney is running unabashedly as a pro-life and pro-family candidate for president"
There's no doubt he's running as one, but there's plenty of doubt as to whether he actually is one, given his many past pronouncements while governor of Massachusetts.
How about you judge for yourself.
Yes
I could have guessed your tagline simply by reading your comment
Nothing contrary to that statment. His personal views, and views politically in a state that could not, and would not not change are different.
His actual record as governor: He vetoed an embryonic cloning bill; he vetoed a bill that would allow the “morning after pill” to be acquired without a prescription on the grounds that it is an abortifacient; he vetoed legislation which would have redefined Massachusetts longstanding definition of the beginning of human life from fertilization to implantation; and he fought to promote abstinence education in the classroom.
"As one Boston commentator observed, Romney’s “abortion statements sound as much like someone trying to wrestle with the issue as someone trying to weasel his way out of it.”
There is a better way to live with our fellowman and still keep our convictions.
I think Romney and Giuliani both have problems as pro-life candidates. Whom do we believe, Romney, who seems to trim his views according to voter polls, or Giuliani, who is honest but so far has refused to commit himself to a pro-life stance?
For the moment, I'm suspending judgment.
Bopp naturally wants a reliable pro-life candidate, and so do I. But I'm not yet ready to commit myself to either of them.
Nor will I commit to Duncan Hunter, who seems to be the best of the conservatives, until I see whether he has any chance of winning. At some point, it will be time to vote, in the primaries and the election. That's when those of us not yet ready to endorse and work for a candidate will need to decide, and persuade our friends to do the best possible.
Oh, really? Well, just what is that record?
The writer states Giuliani is anti-RKBA and pro-gay without saying that Romney breaks the other way on these issues.
Has Romney signed a "shall-issue" pistol-licensure bill? Vetoed a gun-grab? Vetoed other Million Moms/Handgun Control/VPC legislative initiatives? Interposed his office in attempts to sue firearms manufacturers for criminal abuse of firearms?
And we know about all the support that has just gushed from Romney's office and fax machine for social moderates and conservatives who are trying to reverse the atrocity committed by the lesbian-coddling Chief Justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court in imposing, by judicial fiat, homosexual "marriage" on the people of Massachusetts -- thus enabling gay lawyers to commence their long-awaited Article IV assault on the institution of marriage in federal court. An assault that has heretofore been frustrated by the utter nonexistence of homosexual "marriage" in any State of the Union, until Massachusetts's SJC deliberately enabled the gay lobby to sue the other 49 States in federal court.
Massachusetts gave the entire institution of marriage away on Mitt Romney's watch. How does that make him not "pro-special rights for gays"?
The only things on Romney's record that say "conservative" to me are his membership in the Mormon Church and his bachelor's degree from Brigham Young. Everything else I see says "Harvard Law" and "Bay State Liberal". Yuck! Ptui!
It's unbelievable how stupid the author and others believe 'we' are considering this POS. He's no better than Clinton, and both are only fooling idiots with their current 'positioning' on any given subject, IMO.
Well said. It's far out, but I posted this because I don't think Romney's getting a fair shake from the freeper community this early out. A simple look at his myriad of high rolling conservative endorsements (like James Bopp Jr.) who are in the know, so to speak, is enlightening.
Time will be the great qualifier, that's for sure!
