Mitt reneged on just about every position he ever held during his entire political life.

How untrue is that? Let me count the ways.... Look back at this campaign flyer from 1994 where Mitt held the conservative position in 23 out of 24 categories and still holds those same positions today.

The flyer, unearthed from the 1994 race, lists a side-by-side comparison of positions between Romney and Kennedy for 24 election issues. Images of the front and back of the flyer are available on the web. A closeup of the flyer with the candidate comparison on the issues is shown below:

Romney held the solid conservative position for 23 of the 24 issues listed; the only exception being the pledge to maintain the status quo in Massachusetts regarding a woman's right to choose. A pro-choice position in Massachusetts in 1994 was a socially moderate stance accommodating the large majority opinion of voters in that state.

Geez, the more things change, the more they stay the same, eh?

Except, obviously, the switch from pro-choice to pro-life.

Exactly!!

Several months ago I posted some of my comments about Romney’s tenure as Gov. of the bluest of blue states, Massachusetts, on a Romney grassroots website that I contribute to.

I said that it would have been impossible for Mitt Romney, or ANYBODY ELSE, to get elected in MA. as a pro-life hawk, given the overwhelming Democratic registration in that state.

Someone once said that “politics is the art of the possible” and I believe that Mitt Romney did all he could to limit the spread of abortion is his state. He vetoed several bills that would have increased the accessibility of abortion.

The pro-life movement is all about conversion. So when someone coverts, lets welcome them!!
