In his latest interview with RedState, Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney responds to a question about his abortion position by saying that he's never adopted the label "pro-choice."
That's all well and good. Mitt Romney wants to be called pro-life. I'd like to be the King of all Londinium and wear a shiny hat.
But let's not kid ourselves: there is no substantive difference between the position labeled "pro-choice," declaring your support for "the right to choose." And that is something that Mitt Romney has done repeatedly over the course of his political career. To say otherwise is to tell a lie.

"tailhook", refers to an incident that occurred at a hotel where several cadets sexually harrassed a female officer. Top Brass tried to cover it up (some were there), and the whole thing blew up into a "scandal" exposing many in the military as having sexist behavior.
I think that summarizes it?!?
Reagan was a great man an a great President.
Well he doesn't have to say abortion is murder. The last thing I read was that he said he opposed Roe v. Wade and thinks the states should decide whether abortion is legal in each state. Clearly he has some explaining to do and he needs to have a credible explanation for changing his mind.
What if Romney is the nominee?
I'm not voting for him.
"every Mormon I know has better character than the god he worships. They don't approve of defiling betrothed virgins, even tho their deity is reputed to have had carnal knowledge of teh preveiousl=virgin Mary to beget Jesus!"
That is a LIE. We Mormons belive Christ was born of a virgin.
If allen is attacking webb for defending the coverup or prosecution of sexual harassment what is wrong with that? (I'm just trying to understand the other sides POV here)
Who are you supporting?
So do you have a history of trashing any and all potential GOP candidates? If not, your assignment is to say five postitive things about Romney in one post. Unquestionably, Romeny is extremely bright and a very capable chief executive.
Romney's ready for prime time. Let's see how the debates go.
Frist is a big boy and naysayers on FR won't deter him.
He has one of the most important assets: a huge bank account.
He also is the author of the senatorial victories in the last 2 (3) election cycles....lots of junior republican senators owe him.
He's extremely bright and a quick study. We'll see when the dust settles.
"Let me ask you this: is your sole reason to be at this web site to trash any and all potential Republican nominees?
Becauset that's sure as hell what your posting history looks like.
I call you a troll."
Or McCain supporters?
That's good, because if Republicans lose, and Dems win..that pretty much means that eventually the Islamofascists will take over this country. Then at least you'll get your wish, because I guarantee there will be no abortions in this country.
I thinlk Romney is more conservative than people realize. He gets a bad rap on Free Republic largely, I believe, because he's the Governor of Massachusetts. People wrongly see him as a RINO.
He has fought an overwhelming Democratic Legislation and has been one of the few Governors out infront of the gay marriage ban, stem cell research, liberal activist judges and other social issue near and dear to conservatives. He has also been a strong supporter of GWB.
If he is guilty of anything - he may have moderated his positions to get elected in MA. He is conservative and when people see/hear him I think they will be impressed.
"When he ran for office against kennedy he was pro choice, pro gay rights(wanted to be a leader on this issue, even moreso than kennedy), pro aff action, pro civil unions, pro quotas in the work place, pro gun control. On top of that he urinated on national republicans, the contract with america, reagan and bush."
Can you back up each and everyone of these accusations?
"Can you back up each and everyone of these accusations?"
Queue the cricket sounds.
We accept your cult just like everyone elses....
Well are you a paid poster or not? Are you here to trash all GOP candidates? You're awfully quiet about this question.
