How convenient you can manufacture excuses for the great Ronald Reagan (a man I love and respect) yet you can't find similar political logic for a man (Romney) who simply made some pandering statements, and didn't even SIGN INTO LAW these wrongs as Reagan did.
You know, I might be persuaded to "understand" Reagan's legalizing abortion considering the liberal judge manipulation, but giving blanket AMNESTY for illegals will ALWAYS encourage more illegals to swarm across the border.
Many many good Republicans and some Democrats said so AT THE TIME -- so to claim one was duped is simply making excuses. Reagan wasn't stupid, my friend.
Remember is was REAGAN HIMSELF who said "Government IS THE PROBLEM" -- so now you expect me to believe that Reagan in 1986 suddenly believed government would prove to be the ultimate solution... the guys in white hats who would KEEP THEIR PROMISES.
Baloney!!
It was pure and simple political pandering... a mistake...the things that politicians sometimes make.
But oh no, Romney is the devil himself for simply uttering a few pandering remarks.
All of which convinces me further there is underlying deeper animosity... dare I say hatred of Mitt Romney.
And it's not just his occasional flip on this issue or that.
Again, I point out that 90% of the posters demonizing Romney don't even have a candidate they care to support.
They just want to hate Romney.
To me, that spells obsessed hatred.
Take a deep breath.
I never said a thing about Romney one way or the other in my post. I just noted that Reagan did not flip-flop on abortion. And that his amnesty proposal, which was no doubt bad, didn’t involve flip-flopping, either.
