I was ready to believe Romney on the life issue, for example, as people do change their minds, but Romney has changed his mind about so much stuff.

I believed him at first. When I heard about his lifetime varmint-hunting fudge, I soured on him a lot. Then I started to look into his record, and was very surprised to learn that he's even flipped on fiscal issues:

Romney Supports Tax Cut He Once Mocked as Cut for Fat Cats. In 1996, Mitt Romney ran ads against Steve Forbes' flat tax plan, saying he "will not support a specific proposal unless it taxes investment income." Romney's ads asserted that the Forbes plan to eliminate taxes on dividends, interest and investment profit and institute a 17% tax on wages that would result in huge tax cuts for the "Kennedys, Rockefellers, and Forbes." The ad said, "It's a tax cut for fat cats." [BostonGlobe, 1/21/96; Hotline On-Call, 3/28/07]

Mitt Romney 2003: Refused to Publicly Endorse Bush Tax Cuts. "Romney refused to endorse tax cuts at the heart of President Bush's economic program in 2003. Romney's spokesperson said that it's 'just not a state matter." [Boston Globe, 4/11/03]

Very interesting. I wish more voters would do their research before voting.

Typically when one is liberal one thing, they are usually liberal on a lot! (Including both fiscal and moral issues)!..
