“Mitt Romney: If you don’t like his positions, don’t worry, he’s got others!”
Mitt Romney on guns: “I was against ‘em, before I was for ‘em, but really, I’m against ‘em. Where am I again?”
Mitt Romney on abortion: “I’ve never been for it, even if I supported it, and I don’t support it now, unless you’re an embryo, or if your mother happens to be physically present in the wrong state, or if you’re a recipient of RomneyCare.”
Mitt Romney on socialized medicine: “I’m against it, although I signed it, but it’s nothing like I planned ‘cuz the Democrats messed with it, but I want it for everyone in America, except not quite the same. And, I can’t help it if Hillary, Teddy, Kerry and Carville love it...”
Mitt Romney on gay marriage: “I’m against it, unless you call it ‘civil unions’, even though I implemented it in Massachusetts, but don’t you dare think you can do it, Iowa. That would just be wrong. Oh, and I’m for a federal marriage amendment, although I think states should be able to decide. Wait a minute. Is that right?”
“Or, maybe not. Who knows? Oh well, check back with me tomorrow...”
~”...even though I implemented it in Massachusetts...”~
EV, I’ve seen you make the same statement several times now, just in the last couple of days. You accuse Romney of having implemented gay marriage in MA.
As I recall, it was implemented by order of an activist state supreme court, and Romney effectively saw to it that its actual implementation was postponed until he left office, by virtue of his enforcement of an obscure law.
In other words, the policy was foisted on the state by activists during a time that Romney happened to be the governor. Please explain, how did Romney “implement” gay marriage?
(I’ve heard the argument of his directing state clerks to sign same-gender marriage licenses. This doesn’t wash, as enforcement of foisted law by the executive, as required by the state constitution, is not the same as implementation of law.)
lol. Those are very good.
