In 2006 Governor Romney supported the President’s immigration policy as well as the McCain-Kennedy bill.

That is simply not true.

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". 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).

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.

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?

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.

I'm still not convinced though he's "not a flip flopper". How many times does it take to make one a flip flopper? 4 times? 10? Besides, the point remains that on the issues even you acknowledge he flipped on, he didn't formally "flip" on them UNTIL HE STARTED RUNNING FOR THE R NOMINATION! That should CERTAINLY tell an objective observer something about his true motivations.

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

The point is that the majority of hits that come up with the Google search I recommended are ultimately sourced from reputable sources. You apparently do not wish to do the research. I do not either, since ultimately, it doesn't matter now that Romney is definitely out of the race.

I still maintain what I said in my OP on this thread (and agree with the thread starting OP), two whit: Romney ultimately didn't loose because of "anti-Mormon bigotry". He lost because he's a flip flopper and, to a lesser degree, because McCain and Huckabee double teamed him. But, just like all the pro-Romney threads (and anti-whoever else hijack attemps) earlier in the race, those who support him refuse to acknowledge that changing one's position IS a FLIP FLOP, and NOT "bigotry".

So I'm done. I'm not rehashing the lunacy that drew so many who claimed to be thinkers, but weren't, away from REAL conservative alternatives to a "slick package" that looked good on teevee.
