I'm just saying that Romney has for over 40 years supported the proabortion movement. That is sad. As a Christian Conservative, I cannot bring myself to support the illusion that Mitt is.
Just recently, the man came out in support of the people who put Terri Schiavo to death. And he criticized one of our most heroic Generals who had spoken out against homosexuals in the military. I just don't think Mitt is Presidential material, and he certainly isn't a conservative.
One of the greatest things that Bush did was to make a concerted effort to save Terri. It's scary to know that Mitt would have sided with the monsters that decided to kill her.
I don't think any true conservative is buying the Mitt Romney product. Go Hunter/Thompson ticket!
There you go again. You still sound like a democrat and one who wants to throw people from supporting the best Republican candidate in the race. This conservative and Terri Schindler supporter isn't buying YOU!
Concerning the Gen. Pace issue, I couldn't improve on the response given by FReeper redgirlinabluestate, so I'll just quote her below with a ping:
There was no attack on General Pace.The one thing I will add to redgirl's response is the video evidence of Mitt Romney's comments regarding Gen. Pace in the CNN interview on Larry King Live on 3/15/07. Judge for yourself Mitt's demeanor while making the comments about Gen. Pace in light of redgirl's information above. The comments come at 09:35 into the video. Hold the mouse button down on the fast forward button of the viewer to skip ahead.Romney merely agreed with what Pace had said himself about the original comment.
While they both agree with the "Don't ask, Don't tell" policy and the reasons behind it, they both admit that Pace's personal opinions may have been better shared in a different capacity rather than as a general commanding gay troops in harm's way in Afghanistan and Iraq.
If he had made his comments as a scout leader or while leading a Bible study group they seem more than reasonable.
This is what Romney was agreeing with:
General Pace released a statement Tuesday saying,
"In expressing my support for the current policy, I also offered some personal opinions about moral conduct. I should have focused more on my support of the policy and less on my personal moral views."

People also conveniently forget what else Romney said on the gay issue during the same interview:
KING: Did you support gay marriage in Massachusetts?
M. ROMNEY: Never have. I oppose gay marriage and civil union, if it's equivalent to gay marriage. And the reason for that is not because I -- I don't want to show respect and tolerance for other people, but because marriage is primarily about the development and nurturing of children. And children deserve a mom and a dad.
So I -- I support traditional marriage and have probably been in the center -- the center of the battlefield on all important social issues in America over the last several years -- not only gay marriage, where I opposed gay marriage,
