Mitt Romney compares himself to JFK as Nancy Reagan endorses him for presidency

Reagan didn’t need to realize that, he was never pro-abortion.

Romney is the most passionate salesman of abortion that we have ever seen from the republican party, watch the videos, he is convincing as he speaks of the family friend and how he and his family became pro-abortion in 1963 because not having legal abortion killed their young loved one.

Romney campaigned with that story, he campaigned on claiming that his mother was a hero for having the courage to run on an abortion platform in 1970, Romney was radically pro-abortion, AFTER the abortion wars started, AFTER the lines were clear, AFTER it became the political issue of our time,
AFTER he left the party because of Reagan and social conservatism, he was fund raising for abortion AFTER reregistering republican, he was creating $50 tax payer funded abortion AFTER becoming a republican governor in 2002, Romney was still defending abortion AFTER he claims to have switched in 2005.

You have to try to grasp that it matters when these things took place, comparing a political slip of the 1960s when abortion discussions were in their infancy, with being a post Roe v Wade pro-abortion WARRIOR of today, of the decades following 1973, when abortion is the dividing line between right and left, is ridiculous.

Romney can’t change his personal beliefs, because he DIDN’T, there was never a journey, decades of growing, a gradual enlightenment that comes from growth, for 60 years he was one guy, and then POOF!! He was a totally different guy!! the only change you hear is the campaign rhetoric of his Presidential run, that’s it!

There was never a change inside of Mitt Romney, in 2005, after getting permission to run for president from his Prophet, he rewrote his position papers merely to run for office, it was a mere campaign gimmick, not actual growth, or a fundamental change.

And it sure wasn’t only about abortion, he reversed his positions on EVERYTHING, guns, gays, judges, immigration, the Vietnam War, Reagan, abortion, Romneycare, taxes, conservatism, and much more, everything, even his personal details and past.

Do you really think that a 60 year old man who was weaned on liberal politics from birth, who was raised by a Governor presidential candidate dad, and a Senate candidate mom, suddenly had a total political epiphany on all political issues and questions and suddenly changed all of his politics and suddenly was in contradiction with ALL of his past decisions, positions and beliefs and passions?

For a brand new freeper, you sure seem like a liberal troll.

You compare being a democrat in the 1940s to being anti-Reagan in the 1980s, fund raising for and voting democrat in the 1990s, being liberal in the 2000s?

Reagan?

You mean 8 years of military service 1937 enlistee, Captain Reagan, who by the second half of the 1940s was already starting to be seen as a communist fighting conservative, testifying to Congress and naming names, working with the FBI, having to carry a gun for self defense from the left, Reagan?

The last time Reagan voted Dem for President was 1948, for Romney it was 1992, By 1952 Reagan was campaigning for Republicans as a “Democrat for Eisenhower”, he kept using that anti-liberal, conservative campaigning slogan until 1962.

In 1952 Reagan was campaigning for Republicans like Eisenhower, who he campaigned for again in 1956, and then campaigned for Nixon against JFK in 1960, already having earned a reputation as an active speaker for conservatism for years.

The already famously conservative Reagan who formally registered Republican in 1962 and spoke at the Goldwater convention in 1964 (the one Mitt and dad George protested)?

It’s great to see some sanity. Reagan was a Democrat until 1962 and campaigned for Harry Truman. Things change and people change.

Despite the attrition over the last couple of months, there's still some sanity left here.

Welcome to FR and please disregard all the "N00B" posts. There remains a small but very vocal contingent of so-called Freepers who cannot come to grips with the fact that Mitt Romney is the Republican nominee. These individuals, and you'll come to recognize them, are so unhinged over the prospect of a Mormon in the White House that they're all but supporting Barack Obama. It's sad and disgraceful.

Anyhow, keep your chin up and we'll get the Marxist removed! And, who knows... You just might be correct on another "Great Communicator" in the White House!
