Yes, he supports the current policy, and so does every other GOP presidential candidate. I have not heard anyone proposing a reversal of Clinton's policy.
describing it as "the first in a number of steps that will ultimately lead to gays and lesbians being able to serve openly and honestly in our nation's military."
Okay, you've got him on that. 13 years ago he believed gays should eventually be able to serve openly. Since then he's changed his mind and is on record as opposing any change to the current policy.
Big deal. Of course, you've never changed your mind over a 13 year period, right?
Right...we've all changed our minds but it seems Mitt does it when he feels the political winds blowing the wrong way. He changed his mind on abortion, he changed his mind on gays, on assault weapons, on how the GWOT was being fought; he changed his mind on health care, environmental issues...next, he'll change his mind on his immigration policies. Back in 1968, when I was probably your age, extremely naive, and facing Vietnam after high school, I was a big supporter of George Romney--Mitt's dad. He was the odds-on favorite to capture the GOP nod and beat Hubert Humphrey who then had unpopular war issues just like GWB does today. It was a tumultuous time, draft resisters burning cards and demonstrations galore, but we were winning in 'nam just no one knew it because of the MSM beating the drums of defeat. And Romney, while he could have been statesman like and pushed for victory, instead grasped that the capricious winds of politics were against the war and stated that the generals had "brainwashed" him in trying to get his support. Well, that did it for me when it comes to the Romneys. I don't like "legacies" they never work out right--they certainly didn't work right with John Q. Adams (one of the most insignificant presidents in history despite his dad being one of the greatest). They haven't work out especially well for GWB after he succeeded "Read My Lips" and they most certainly won't work out if another Clinton grabs the W.H. because another Romney was the GOP candidate. Heck, they even didn't work for (grandson) Benjamin Harrison even though William Henry Harrison spent less than a month in office.
