Heres a fun little video of a younger Mitt saying hes not trying to return to the Reagan/Bush era, as he was an independent at that time:
Heres Mitt from tonight:
[W]ere in the house that Reagan built. Its important that we, as Republicans, stay in the house that Reagan built. If we want to take the White House again, social, economic and foreign policy conservatives have to come together.
. . . .
I would be with Ronald Reagan. And this party, it has a choice, what the heart and soul of this party is going to be, and its going to have to be in the house that Ronald Reagan built.
Now watch the video again.
Its short, and perhaps its ripped out of context. Its hard to imagine how context could help much but you never know.
UPDATE: The same YouTube poster has an effective little video showing Mitt supporting a womans right to choose time and time and time again:
1994 is irrelevant.
You are more than welcome to sit at home with your thumb up your butt.
Meanwhile, I cast my Florida primary vote for Romney. My only regret is that I couldn’t vote for Duncan Hunter. I was tempted by Alan Keyes, but then I came to my senses. The point of voting is to put a guy in office, not to protest otherwise.
so is Romney’s campaign.
That’s why I am so fired up on fighting this guy.
And now the nuttiness is coming out as Romney supporters talk about voting for Hillary because ordinary Americans aren’t buying their Myth.
I can’t believe the time and effort that both sides have put into pouring over archives looking for inconsistencies in each other’s stands over the years! Often they’re like children who think they’ve caught their parent or their teacher in some gaff and they can’t wait to show how smart they are to have found it.
Sure, some of the discrepancies are out and out lies, like Romney claiming to have been a lifelong hunter, but has never had a hunting license, but in my book who cares? If lying is a problem for you (not you as in jdm, but the Papal ‘You’) then I’m sure you certainly didn’t support or vote for Clinton. If changing your mind and stand on something then I’m sure you didn’t vote for or support Ronald Reagan. The list goes on and on.
Gimme a break!
“If it comes down to Clinton or McCain,
I will NOT be voting for president this year.” I said this earlier this year... wellllll considering the alternative, I WILL be voting McCain!
