During his 1994 Senate campaign against Ted Kennedy and in his 2002 gubernatorial campaign, Romney campaigned as a pro-choice candidate. In a televised debate against Kennedy in October of 1994, Romney said he felt “abortion should be safe and legal in this country,” and he believed this because his mother took that position in her 1970 U.S. Senate campaign

Romney actually attacked Ted Kennedy for flip-flopping on abortion - Teddy used to be pro-life, and Romney pointed out his unblemished record of pro-abortion purity going back even before Roe v. Wade, to his mother's Senate campaign and his distant relative's death from an illegal abortion.

In that 1994 debate he looks like Anthony Perkins.

I had passed over those Romney YouTuble links many times before but finally decided to take a look ... Disturbing, to say the least.

This material is all the more devastating when placed in juxtaposition against the Romney we see running for president: same authoritative demeanor, same assurance, same sincerity, and the same apparent strength of conviction in stating his "unwavering" values. Gore and Kerry could end up looking like pillars of consistency compared to Mitt when the other side is through with him.

In many ways he's an appealing candidate on the surface-- I really want to like the guy, but something just isn't right. I want to give him the benefit of the doubt but my Spidey-sense tells me that he may be a manifestly phony man. Now, if his opponent is the manifestly phony Hillary, that's less of a problem. But if his opponent is a seemingly sincere Obama, well ... not good. I may likely end up voting for the guy but I doubt I'll be out in the trenches as a Republican volunteer as in the past. Don't want to be put in the position of having to defend this kind of stuff.
