Not so. He flipped back & forth on civil unions. He was first for them; then against them as it got closer to the 2002 election. Then he was form them in 2003 & 2004...by mid-way 2005, he was against them. [For documentation, see post #265]
Flipped flopped with 3 different positions on ENDA and embryonic stem cell research. [For documentation, see post #259]
Typical distortion from Colofornian. Romney was always against civil unions, but he was willing include civil unions in a constitutional Amendment abolishing gay marriage if that was the only way he could get the amendment passed. Sometimes in politics we have to settle for something less than ideal. Colofornian sems to be too immature to understand this basic fact of reality.
See post#270 for documentation.

It appears Colofornian can't count. See posts #271 and 272. Romney made exactly one change on the ENDA and zero changes on embryonic stem cell research.
Romney was never for civil unions. But I’m sure you already know that, don’t you?
(Debate, 2002, Romney quote:) “Call me old fashioned, but I don’t support gay marriage nor do I support civil union.”
(from Wikipedia)
“When the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled in favor of legalized same-sex marriage in 2003, Romney lobbied for a state constitutional amendment that would ban same-sex marriage but allow civil unions. Romney explained in 2005: ‘From day one I’ve opposed the move for same-sex marriage and its equivalent, civil unions....I am only supporting civil unions if gay marriage is the alternative.’”
You can spin and excuse all you want, but you can’t change a person’s written quotes. And thanks to people like you who bought the spin about Romney’s record, we’re now stuck with the true RINO, McCain.
