He was my #2 choice, but moved waaaaaay down my list with his openly gay people in the military answer. He was for it, but with a war on “now is not the time” ???? I can accept a little flip-flopping from politicians over their career, but not on core principles and moral values.
What about the attack on the guy who asked about the Confederate Flag?
I’m no southerner and no supporter of secession, but the COnfederate Flag does not represent racism and the ku Klux Klan, it is a symbol of the south and southern heritage.
He revealed himself to me in that unmeasured vitriolic response as a typical Yankee Limousine Liberal. Thompson’s answer was far more measured and logical and I doubt of any other candidate would have responded as Romney did.
Agree...Romney lost major points with me on his “now is not the time” answer. He never did answer the question. I don’t have to agree with your stance, Governor - just have one!
His answer was that he had been for it back in 1994, because he didn’t believe don’t ask, don’t tell, would work.
But now it’s been working fine, and he sees know reason to change it. And further, during a war is not the time to be having that conversation.
Romney is not supporting a change in “Don’t ask, Don’t tell”.
