The left-wing press is delighted to report these moments, because they know they will anger and discourage conservatives.
And it’s always a good idea to take a close look at what was REALLY said, because the left wing press lies and distorts.
Nevertheless, regretably, they don’t always need to lie about Romney, the way they did about someone like Rick Santorum. Romney DID recently say that he supports aborting babies who are conceived by rape, even though he’s currently pretending to be pro-life. And he DID just say that he would not reverse Obama’s gift of rights to illegals.
And his record in office was even worse. This is just what he’s admitting to while trying not to turn off his base. Not much doubt that he will favor widespread amnesty if he gets into office, just like the Chamber of Commerce. And abortion. And gay marriage. And gay sex in the barracks. And socialized medicine. And so forth.
If that’s discouraging to the base, Romney bears most of the blame for it. That’s who he is, and it’s delusional to pretend otherwise. He is just barely an alternative to Obama the destroyer.
The left-wing press indeed likes these stories, but did anyone twist Romney’s arm to make him say what he did, and all the other countless times he has pulled stunts like this and flip-flopped-flip-flopped-flip-flopped-flip-flopped, and tossed conservatives under the bus for the umpteenth time?
And I wouldn’t doubt that Romney likes the left-wing press, too, especially at times like this.
