I think these were 1990s speeches. Of course his campaign denied he ever said anything like this, but Romney had the transcripts. Romney does his homework.
I guess I’m a little confused. If Giuliani said this ten years or ago or so, then why is it dated yesterday? And if this single statement is important, why isn’t Fred Thompson’s statement about abortion from the same time period not important?
I have no problem with bringing the track record of any candidate into the discussion, and it certainly leads to any questions of why their positions have changed, but we ought to be reasonably fair in the discussion.
