I agree that his views have flip-flopped to the right

There is no flip-flip. His views on abortion at the time were that of most Americans. Abortion is legal but most Americans do support parental notification laws and no taxpayer funding of it. Romney's view came full circle into the the pro-life side during his term as Governor. We're not talking about a John Kerry flip-flop here, and he surely isn't the extreme pro-abortion candidate that Rudy was then and now.

I don't support Romney for other reasons but I do concede that he's the strongest candidate of the three. And he can raise money, he has business and public service background and the guy is literally a Saint. Never smoke, swore, or drank.

Watch Romney in 1994 and 2002 and reconcile that with the views of "most Americans." He was a radical pro-abortion campaigner, and he continued his views from the 1970s through to 2005, just a few months before he started up his presidential campaign in earnest.

Agreed. Romney makes Kerry look steady like a rock.

the guy is literally a Saint.

Literally? He's been canonized?

Is abstaining from tea necessary for Sainthood?

I mean, why should these type of actions determine who is President?

The WH didn't become non-smoking until Clinton was in office. A sign of the times.

Does that mean that having a "smoking" WH under Reagan and Bush (the father) was scandalous?
