To be truthful its not necessary to have to say it at every campaign stop. But I don't think its necessary to act like one has to be shamed or look like one has to apologize for one's view. Romney would have earned my respect if he said I'm pro-life and left it at that. People would still vote for someone they disagreed with on the issue, but no one respects the craven politician who tucks tail with the winds in order to gain power.
Romney would have earned my respect if he said I'm pro-life and left it at that. Do you really think that the Massachusetts media, led by the Boston Globe, and his DemocRAT opposition would leave it at that? If Romney mentioned it once, the Massachusetts media and the DemocRATs would mention it every damned hour of every damned day between now and election day. And if you don't believe that, I think you should get an education.
