Mitt Romney has also lied more than any candidate since Bill Clinton. All you have to do is google Mitt Romney's lies and count the sites that pop up.
Mitt is saying whatever it takes to get elected, simple as that. If you want to know where he stands you have to look at his actual record - which isn't conservative. AND you have to look for it someplace else besides Mitt's campaign site.
For example:
1. http://massresistance.org/docs/marriage/romney/record/ (The Mitt Romney Deception)
2. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080120/ts_nm/usa_politics_romney_record_dc (Mitt Romney's Economic Record Questioned)
3. http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2008/01/20/mitt_romneys_economic_record_questioned/ (Mitt Romney's Economic Record Questioned)
4. This is a good one - from the LOG CABIN Republicans! http://online.logcabin.org/news_views/reading-room-back-up/log-cabin-tv-ad-campaign-sets.html (Setting the record straight on Mitt Romney)
5. http://romneyfacts.com/
6. http://www.observer.com/2007/bad-fight-mitt-romney (A Bad Fight for Mitt Romney)
7. http://www.chuckbaldwinlive.com/election2008/reps/MittRomney.html (Several articles on Romney's less than conservative credentials)
8. http://www.investors.com/breakingnews.asp?journalid=66479626 (Mitt Romney re-defining the Middle Class)
9. http://www.factcheck.org/more_mitt_missteps.html (More Mitt Missteps)
10. And finally if nominated what the DNC will be putting out: http://www.democrats.org/a/2007/10/when_will_fee-f.php (When will Fee-Fee Romney defend his REAL record?) Not that I'm a democrat or trust democrats -- just saying Romney has given them ample ammunition, like it or not.
How anyone can believe this man is conservative, or anything less than a RHINO is beyond me.
Nobody has been hit with more lies and distortions than Mitt Romney. Your first link is an example. This has been debunked multiple times. Romney is one of the most decent and honorable men running right now. He’s been a class act, and apparently was a class act today in his response to the Thompson news.
“Mitt is saying whatever it takes to get elected, simple as that.”
McCain is saying whatever it takes to get elected, simple as that. Hillary is saying whatever it takes to get elected, simple as that. Obama is saying whatever it takes to get elected, simple as that. They all are saying things to get elected. Only Romney is the one saying *conservative things*. Yes, he wants our votes and so he is genuinely interested in building a conservative coalition and implementing a conservative agenda.
His speech to the Detroit economic forum was genuine, real, leadership, and I challenge to point out a single thing in there that you consider to be ‘a lie’.
So rather than reashing old debunked hits on Mitt, tell us what is wrong with this ROmney speech:

Romney has selected liberal judges in the past....
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1957771/posts?page=257#257
Father of a Marine: “Who is most likely to give me the conservative judges and justices? Huckabee, not Romney.”
Correct, and Semper Fi.
Especially after Romney’s record of appointing homosexual activists to the court in Mass. Such as Judge Steven Abany in 2005, board member of the Gay and Lesbian Bar Association.

Of course Romney doesn't have a super conservative record. He ran Massachusetts for crying out loud! That's what all those links are indicating. But I think he will do more to nominate conservative SC justices, close the borders and lower taxes than the other Republican candidates and certainly compared to Hillary. So I am willing to take my chances in that regard. Elections are about comparative choices. Always.
