Yes he is. Just a little over two years ago he was bragging that his mother also ran for office as a pro-choice Republican. He went into a long story about how his whole family was pro-choice "after an intimate family experience took place."
This revelation to becoming pro-life is as sincere as Huckabee is to tax reform, McCain is to stopping illegal immigration, or to Rudy saying he would now appoint justices in the Scalia mold.
They are all flippers and pandering to the conservatives, so pick your poison!
Me, I am a social conservative first. The most important issues to me are the Second Amendment, Right to Life, protecting the family and traditional marriage. So I choose the guy who has never flipped on those issues -- Huckabee.
Another conservative might think small government is the most important issue, so he will choose Romney because he hasn't flipped on that where he has flipped on abortion and guns. Another conservative might think the war is most important so she chooses McCain because that is the issue he hasn't flipped on.
We have no uniter right now. We are fractured as a movement.
But on the issue of life, Romney has been pro-abortion his whole life, and has flipped just to run for President, so you would have to be a fool to believe him.
No, you would have to be a fool to believe Romney will become pro-choice again if he wins the presidency as a pro-life candidate.
To satisfy your cynicism, I’ll point out that he would undoubtedly want a second term, and he’s smart enough to know what happened to the first president named Bush.
Excellent post. Huck won’t be the nom so I won’t throw away my vote. Out of McCain and Romney, I trust Romney more and think he has a shot to win the general. I pray, no matter what happens in this election, that we have a party that is conservatice, social and fiscal and pro america/military/defense in 4 years. I’m not willing to wait 4 years and just let the dems, Hillary or Obama or Edwards, lead the country until then.

That is right on point. Excellent post.
