In 2006 Governor Romney supported the President’s immigration policy as well as the McCain-Kennedy bill. He expressed support for an immigration program that places large numbers of illegal residents on the path toward citizenship and said illegal immigrants should have a chance to obtain citizenship.

Now Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney says he ‘’strongly opposes'’ the immigration plan also denounced by conservatives even though his public statements suggest he actually agrees with major aspects of the proposal in Congress.

And then there's this little gem, right up there with the other "gaffes" the OP mentions but you didn't respond to: "Bob Dole is a guy I, Mitt Romney, do/do NOT want to endorse me". source.

Just Google "Flip Flops by Romney" and you'll find a whole host of issues that you haven't even touched upon in this thread (yet).

But like I said, it doesn't matter now that his delegates are McCain's. Are you going to defend McCain as tenaciously as you do/did Romney now?

That is simply not true.

Let me give you a piece of advice: don't believe everything you read on the internet.

I don't have time to debunk every lie on the net.

No. Romney is getting behind the McCain because it is now virtually certain that the latter will be the nominee, and Romney is trying to unify the party. That's a very honorable thing to do, but I am not sure it's the right policy.

I haven't quite decided what I'm going to do yet, but I'm inclined to think it might be better for our country and our party for McCain to lose this year. Romney, obviously, disagrees with that position. So what?

Whether to support McCain in the general election is a tough judgement call upon which reasonable conservatives can honorably disagree.
