“...every piece of legislation which came to my desk in the coming years as a Governor, I came down on the side of preserving the sanctity of life.”

Hard to conjure up that image but it's true. Thomspon sends out an e-mail blast taking issue with Romney's statement today on MTP that "every piece of legislation which came to my desk in the coming years as a Governor, I came down on the side of preserving the sanctity of life." The "fact check" includes this:
"Romney's health care legislation provides taxpayer-funded abortions for a co-pay of just $50. Romney vetoed EIGHT provisions in his health care bill that he deemed objectionable, including the expansion of dental benefits to Medicaid recipients. He did not veto Planned Parenthoods' guaranteed position on the Advisory Board or ensure that abortions were covered only in medically necessary situations (as required by MA court ruling). All abortions are covered in the Commonwealth Care program with no medically necessary limitation. Under the program, abortions are available for a copay of $50...
Romney included in his health care legislation a guarantee that Planned Parenthood would have a representative on his MassHealth Payment Policy Advisory Board. No such provision was included for a pro-life representative. ...
Romney forced private Catholic hospitals to provide the morning-after-pill, a position applauded by Democrats and pro-abortions groups. .."

Ditto.
Wonder what the Mormon Church thought of that.
This is the problem I have with Mormon’s like Gordon Smith or Harry Reid, there is no deep personal conviction. There is no personal walk with Jesus so they become pragmatists in politics.
Pray for W and Our Troops
Yes, he said in the May 2007 debate that he supports an assault weapons ban.
The slime ball liberal puke can’t pass that off as a “ Well, I have to because I rule in a liberal puke state”!
He’s wants that for the whole country!
“every piece of legislation which came to my desk in the coming years as a Governor, I came down on the side of preserving the sanctity of life.”— Myth Romney
AMEN to that!!!
FRED is now hitting hard and often. Taking his argument directly to the People of Iowa. Huckelberry and Romney would both be such a poor choice for Conservatives. I pray that the People of Iowa listen carefully and choose a true Conservative like FRED.
FRED THOMPSON (true consistent Conservative Federalist) - NATIONAL SECURITY EXPERT (I’ll do whatever it takes to stop the bastards, include water-boarding) - 2ND AMENDMENT ADVOCATE (arm all legal citizens and criminals will become more hesitant) - SECURE AND SEAL THE BORDERS (don’t give them sanctuary anywhere, don’t hire them, don’t rent to them, don’t give them credit, don’t give them rights they don’t deserve, report all crimes committed by them, they will go home or we will deport them) - LAW AND ORDER (enforcement first and foremost with the laws currently on the books) - SOCIAL SECURITY REFORM (reform a program that can’t sustain itself and will bankrupt this nation) - DEFEAT THE DEMOCRAT (any fool they put up) – TAX SIMPLIFICATION (choice for the tax payer) - WON’T PUT UP WITH CRAP FROM THE MSM (including stupid questions by moderators) - PING!
Woot!
“—On guns, he may have gotten himself in trouble, in an attempt to diffuse the flip-flop label, by standing by his support for the Brady Bill and the 1994 assault weapons ban. He even said he would have signed an extension of the assault weapons ban when it expired in 2004. He also employed the odd phrase “weapons of unusual lethality” to describe the type of guns he would ban.”
Note to all the Mittwits...Shop for a cemetery plot, because Mitt’s campaign is DEAD!
The only conservatives in the race are Fred Thompson and Duncan Hunter.
BTTT!!!!!
Spiff, like yourself, is utterly insensate to anything that isn’t Romneyganda. When Spiff posts, honesty takes a walk.
So what you're saying is that not only is Willard bad on abortion, but he's also bad on guns and immigration? One, two, three strikes, you're out, Willard!
Of Spiff? I agree. The post is a formless glob of false information and stinks of desperation.
But, you have to admit, Mitt’s got purdy hair, so he’s got a lot of peoples’ votes, right there.
Should have pinged you to the previous post.
Oops, me too (#31)
Russert tore him apart on that today, Romney said his view on guns have never changed.
Well, if by "never changed" you mean "changed with whatever way the wind was blowing", then Mitt was right.
Just like the Movie..Willard loves RATS, even their views on the issues! ( Free tag-line for sale)
