So, then, which of his recent conservative ephipanies are heartfelt, and which are opportunistic? Recall that not long ago, he was supportive of the legislative direction of McCain-Kennedy. Is his conversion to anti-illegal-immigration real? Or will he try to revert back to Bush-Graham-McCain form once he no longer needs the votes of the right?
Nothing new here, just the Boston Globe Democrat trying to spread more disharmony among Republicans. Nice try, but they’ve got enough disharmony in their own party to worry about.
EV, would you say that Romney's perfidy knows no bounds, or that there are bounds?
If it's from the Liberal Media, it must be true! Don't we all know and trust the Liberal Media here on Free Republic?
Pffffffffft.
MITT ROMNEY is determined to prove he’s pro-life. How about proving he’s pro-truth?
Anyone else stunned the Boston Globe is ‘going there’?
Attack the messenger!
The Boston Globe taking someone to task on an “honesty problem”? Sounds like a pot and kettle story.
Let’s assume for the sake of argument that Romney’s conversion is real and complete. What does it say about a man in politics that it takes him until he’s well into his fifties to make up his mind on a major matter of public policy? Does that seem like leadership?
Did Romney do ANYTHING to get elected? No I don't think so but he did pick his battles and the things he's being beat up over would have disqualified him for any consideration immediately in Mass. I do think he did plenty of good in Mass and it really is an uphill battle there. It's true that no one really knows what's in someone's heart and I can't condemn anyone for being distrustful. But having seen Romney in action for years I'll say this... I don't believe that Romney ever thought abortion was a great thing or actually supported it - he just knew he couldn't change that in Mass and tried to take it off the table. I see it similar to the same way Bush took it off the table in 2000 when he said you have to change people's hearts first.
Thanks for the post, great column.
Reagan supported abortion at one time.
I like Romney, and the more the MSM goes after him, (like Mary Ann Akers from the WP online speaking on MSNBC (she’s a total idiot, btw with bad hair) the more I like him!
Pushing lying liberal rags again EV?
I suppose you have never changed your mind?
His voting record clearly shows that he is
pro life. It’s the voting record that counts
ALL POLOTICIANS say what you want to hear
It’s what they DO that counts. DOH!
I do not even have to read this article. I have seen of enough of that columnists garbage for one lifetime already.
The irony about all of this is that both Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani are in the same political boat when it comes to all of the social issues, and they are both also RINO’s from the northeast. Duncan Hunter IMHO is the closest to what a majority of conservatives truly want in a Presidential candidate, but he’s still not registering much in all of the major polls so far. I worry about the future of the U.S. with the possibility of socialism coming here very soon, and conservatives must truly stop this possibility from really happening.
Honestly, I’ve NEVER given Romney a second of thought as our candidate. He’s a blow-dried dyed in the wool RINO. I’m shocked he has ANY support on these boards.
