I am absolutely against Romney. His record stands against him, and because of it, I will never vote for him. However, this story does lend credence to his declaration of being personally Pro-Life, which due to his pro-choice record, I had never believed.
But many liberals assuage their conscience with this despicable sort of demarcation - Being personally Pro-Life, but actively promoting pro-choice positions publicly. I find this to be even more abhorrent than someone who is completely pro-choice, as the personal conviction should be guiding the public action.
And even if his record was spotless wrt Life (which, admittedly is the primary priority in my judgement of candidates), there is an endless list of other liberal positions which are wholly insurmountable... As the Romney Truth File hereon will demonstrate adequately.
What is astonishing to me is how so many freepers can throw principle to the wind and not only vote for him, but pimp for him like he is something that he ain't. It is shameful.
so are you voting for obama or throwing your vote away?
So stay home on election day and vote Present like Obama.
Smearing any other member here as being a “pimp” for Romney is shameful.
Do you call these other individuals pimps, as well? These are just a few of the pro-life activists explaining Romney’s history working on our behalf.
Massachusetts Citizens For Life Executive Director Marie Sturgis: “Having Governor Romney in the corner office for the last four years has been one of the strongest assets the pro-life movement has had in Massachusetts.”

Massachusetts Citizens For Life Pioneer Valley Chapter Chairman Kevin Jourdain: “Mitt Romney was a great Governor, who served with honor and distinction. But most importantly, he was a pro-life Governor. He vetoed a number of pro-abortion pieces of legislation and made many pro-life appointments. He was always there for us.”

“Unlike other candidates who only speak to the importance of confronting the major social issues of the day, Governor Romney has a record of action in defending life. Every decision he made as Governor was on the side of life.

I agree with your post. I did not vote for Romney as his liberal positions are not mine, nor, in my opinion, are some of his positions Christian.
