Ronald Reagan once signed into law (in 1967 California) the most sweeping pro-abortion law in the nation.
Reagan also proposed and passed the biggest Social Security tax increase in history, in 1983.
Reagan also proposed and passed the biggest AMNESTY for illegals law in history.
Yet, most people, including me, still love the man and consider him a great conservative.
Romney has certainly made some dumb statements he probably wishes he could take back.
But he HAS governed from the right on almost all issues, regardless of the dumb comments.
Lastly, I too was once a dumbster who had liberal thoughts. Yet by 30-years old I had turned into one of the most ultra conservatives.
Sure, I’ll accept coverts.
But Romney is a two-weeks-before-running-suddently-joined-the-NRA convert.
Listen to Romney’s 2002 impassioned story about why he was pro-abortion -— replete with a yarn bout family friend dying in back-alley abortion -— Romney was on FIRE, very convincing.
Assuming Romney was acting in 2002 when he told the back-alley story, he would have had to have a Road-to-Damascus experience, which he admits he lacks.
In short, Romney’s sudden recent coversion is transparently false.
