Look. If this is what Romney believes, I’d have far more respect for him if he’d just say so. There is a more moderate/liberal wing of the Republican party which will appreciate this position even though most of here will not. Romney seems to have no conviction on any important issue. It’s his lukewarm taste that has alienated both conservatives and moderates. Neither side feels they can trust him.
Look at how Romney avoided the question in the debate, he refused to answer the actual question and instead lied about his 1994 position on don’t ask don’t tell.
Look at these: “I laughed”
2007 Debate: “Yes, I didn’t think it would work. I didn’t think “don’t ask/don’t tell” would work. That was my — I didn’t think that would work. I thought that was a policy, when I heard about it, I laughed. I said that doesn’t make any sense to me.”
The 1994 Truth: ““One issue I want to clarify concerns President Clinton’s “don’t ask, don’t tell, don’t pursue” military policy. I believe that the Clinton compromise was a step in the right direction. I am also convinced that it is the first of a number of steps that will ultimately lead to gays and lesbians being able to serve openly and honestly in our nation’s military.”
