On the issues of life, Mitt has made even you believe he flipped, but his own recent interviews prove he was just playing folks like you and me for the hope that he would become truly pro-life. Embracing the notion of parents ‘have a right to donate one or more of their embryo-aged children for dissectiona nd research use is not pro-life, at least not to me. Your mileage may vary
I don't agree with Mitt's or President Bush's or LE's position re: assault weapons. Just as I don't agree with he or the President Bush's position on stem cell research, which I think should be banned, period.
But I wouldn't call any of them anti-second amendment or pro-abortion, just because their views are not as far to the right as mine. In fact, I'd say they were both pro-second amendment and pro-life. And I much prefer their views to the truly Liberal views of Hillary, Obama or Guiliani on those two, as well as other issues.
It amazes me that some believe because someone might not be as conservative as they on an issue, that makes that person a Liberal on the issue. Some of us are capable of distinguishing between those conservatives who are less conservative on an issue than we ourselves may be and those who truly hold a Liberal opinion on an issue.
