Thanks, and I read the article. Here’s the quote from the article I wondering about:
“I believe that abortion is the wrong choice except in cases of incest, rape, and to save the life of the mother.”
That statement appears current, based on the Unmarked Package Homepage.
I’m just trying to verify it.
I believe that is Mitt’s current position. I haven’t read anything to the contrary.
Some people think I have a “candidate of choice” when actually I don’t. This is the reason for my questions. I can’t support any wiggle room on abortion.
Also, his dealing with Iran needs to be updated, as we’ve now witnessed all of those points initiated by both the US and the UN with no isolation and no containment. Just IMO.
Thanks TAdams8591. If you find that’s not the case feel free to ping me or frmail me.
I’d be happy to. : )
Rudy and Romney are world’s apart, in both their public AND private lives.
The question is, who is going to take South Carolina and take the big mo into Super Duper Tuesday?
That’s not saying much when you look at Rudy and McCain
Am encouraged to see McChurian And RudeGlobalist fall in the polls.
Romney would certainly be better than either of those. But I’m still pryaing etc. for Fred Thompson or Dunken Hunter.
Who are you most for at this point?
I’ll take HunterThompson over RudyMcRomney any day.

Agreed.
I think Newt either caved in to the globalists or they have so much on him; have seriously threatened him and his family and/or are so prepared to trash him that he’s not really viable.
“Shouldn’t a candidate’s current rhetoric bear at least some passing resemblance to his record?”
Like, say, McCain?
Rush recently drew a contrast between the two. McCain’s been consistent, but he’s been consistently wrong. -At least- Romney says he’s learned. I’m not worried so much about the flips; the flops are what concern me.
Personally, I’m interested in what Thompson can bring to the table.
“In the Republican debates Mitt has simply stood out as more energetic, better looking, better spoken, and much more exciting than anyone else on stage.”
I agree, and I do like Mitt Romney (though I still withhold judgment on who I actually support - it’s over six months until the primaries, for Pete’s sake!), but basing the decision on the factors you outline above is falling for slick marketing and packaging. I think we should be looking more at substance.
“Also, his dealing with Iran needs to be updated...”
Careful! Some people might call it a flip-flop if he adjusts his position to meet new realities!
“The question is, who is going to take South Carolina and take the big mo into Super Duper Tuesday?”
That’s a good question. A lot can (and likely will) happen in the next six months. If the polls are accurate, and the election were held today, Romney would storm New Hampshire, and would have a good shot at taking both Nevada and Iowa. He would lose abysmally in South Carolina.
So, the question is, if a candidate wins the other three, does he really need SC to have momentum for Uber Tuesday?
I can appreciate that as I feel the same way, jeward. However, realistically, it is largely irrelevant as neither you, nor I, nor Romney will decide alone. If and when Roe v Wade is overturned -- the states will decide.
You may find this article interesting: 'Roe v. Wade': The divided states of America.
I have accepted and welcomed Mitt's conversion. I am thrilled for someone as bright, savvy, attractive and polished as Mitt to be carrying our conservative message to a new generation of potential converts. We truly could not ask for a better messenger IMHO since Ronald Reagan.
In any event, happy to see someone doing research and making informed decisions -- even if you choose someone else. ;o)
That is a risk in politics, yes.
The only action on abortion (and they won`t necessarily be the same)will come from the courts or a Rat controlled Congress. Let`s worry about winning the election. Sorry, don`t mean to preach.
