“But what about someone who’s been secretly pro-life all along yet who … tolerated abortion in the name of getting elected? Where does that person fall on the moral spectrum?”
Falls on the spectrum somewhere around “lying, deceiving politically motivated, non-backbone personage”?
Romney’s Motto “ Say whatever it takes.”
“First of all, it's not worth getting angry about.”
- Mitt Romney
Mr. niteowl77
I have been perfectly consistent - that is I have consistently been a politician.
It could be that Mitt just rolled over on this issue to keep the peace at home. If that is the case though, we don't want to elect his wife by proxy.....we've been there - done that with the Clintons.
Willard Mitt Romney has been pro-abortion since he was a teenager when his aunt died during an illegal abortion...
In 1970 he supported his mother Lenore Romney when she ran for US senate from MI on a pro-abortion platform...THREE years before Roe V Wade...
In 2008 he announced during a debate that he was “proud” of his mother for her pro-abortion stance...
In 1994 he ran left of Teddy Kennedy demanding to be recognized as the more pro-abortion candidate during the US Senate race from MASS
In 2002 her ran for MASS Gov demanding to be recognized as the more pro-abortion candidate...
Life long pro-abortion...
If I could be assured that his stance on all the issues would be "right", then I'd vote for him even if he was a slimy flip-flopper who said whatever it took to get elected. The problem is obtaining that degree of assurance is impossible.
Well, because of that, I can't support him in the primary. However (and I've said it before), the chance of him undoing ObamaCare, appointing conservative justices, etc., is surely better than that of Obama doing the same. Romney is a "may screw us over", but Obama is "definitely will screw us over."
It is difficult to tell what Romney’s true belief is. Regardless, Santorum is a better candidate. Santorum 2012
That was a Mormon woman, he was a Mormon Bishop.
Romney as a politician is pro-abortion for society at large, he is not pro-abortion for the females within his cult.
It’s kinda like the mainstream Mormon position against polygamy. They started out firmly against it, then embraced it, and now are kinda against it for political reasons, but still admit the principle which they believe will be practiced in their afterlife, while praising through faint dams Mormon fundamentalists who still practice polygamy. Thus Romney’s flip-flop over abortion makes sense in this context.
Even John McCain voted her down.
If Obama's first Supreme Court pick is who Santorum believed was fit for our high courts, what's that say about his true values?
Although no man can read another’s mind, I believe that it’s a mistake to try and understand Romney’s beliefs in terms of pro-life, pro-choice or pro-abortion. To truly understand Romney, I believe, one has to look at the one cornerstone in Romney’s life, the one thing that has remained consistent despite his many political adventures and flip-flops. That’s his Mormonism.
In other words, Romney’s guiding force seems to be the belief he’s the fulfillment of Joseph Smith Jr’s so-called “White Horse Prophecy”.
P.S. Joseph Smith Jr’s so-called White Horse Prophecy is also the reason I believe the Romney camp has been unable to provide the conservative base with a compelling reason for Romney’s presidential campaign. There has reportedly been speculation of Romney being the fulfillment of this prophecy since his student days at BYU. But of course, if this were ever disseminated to the general public....
The WHITE Horse Prophecy discussion should fit in just fine on the Sunday talk shows as they are discussing this.
I wonder if at some opportune point in Romney’s campaigning, that black leaders might come up with an organized demand for Mormons to cease baptizing dead blacks, a very public, national campaign, which might lead to some interesting TV discussions and questioning?
Remember that Romney is a Mormon Bishop, and was performing this sick ritual on dead blacks, and even dead black Muslims while teaching that blacks were inferior, Martin Luther King Mormon? Malcolm X, Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman?
At least I’m assuming that they baptized dead black people.
I think this is a question for Colofornian. Would LDS baptize dead black people?
I thought blacks were considered the descendants of those souls that remained neutral during the war in heaven between warring spirits, and thus blacks were barred from the highest levels of heaven, which is why they were barred from the Mormon priesthood for so long. So would they need proxy baptism?
But then again, that all changed through sudden revelation.
what’s your point; Harry Reid’s Mormon. That doesn’t say much.
Very appropo comparison...well stated.
