I read the link at 73, and the link doesn't support the spin that you are putting on it. When he said that he was fully sympathetic with attempts to liberalize the outdated abortion law, he certainly sounded adamantly pro-choice. The fact that he made a careful study of the issue and still arrived at a place where he could sign the law and make that statement doesn't support your spin either. While the abortion issue does not show Mr. Romney at his best, your spin of the issue tells us more about your personal hatred of the man than it tells us about him.
Ronald Reagan did the best he could with the situation that he faced. He later regretted his decision and tried to do differently as president. He was the product of an earlier time when the issue was less public and even people who were educated and interested were less informed. These things happen.
Mitt Romney came of age at a time when the issue was more open, but he also came from a family that was sympathetic to the other side because they knew of women dying from illegal abortions. As he's admitted, he was wrong to take the pro-abortion position that he took when he first ran for office. Fortunately, he saw the error of that position when he was in office and made different decisions as governor.
Mr. Thompson is now fifth in many national polls. His best chance of rising is for people to see that Mike Huckabee is not going to be a good president. Many disillusioned Huckabee supporters might turn to Mr. Thompson. Here we have a thread that should focus on Mr. Huckabee's being unfit for the nomination, but you're trying to turn the thread into another smear of Mitt Romney. As usual, your hatred of Mitt Romney is not doing Mr. Thompson any good.

Unfrigginbelievable.
...but you're trying to turn the thread into another smear of Mitt Romney.
It's not a smear, and your inclusion of the word "another" is personally abusive.
