Uh oh: Romney refuses to sign pro-life group’s pledge
hot air ^ | 6/17/11 | Allahpundit

Posted on 06/17/2011 6:08:58 PM PDT by Nachum

Doubling down on RomneyCare, confirming that he believes in climate change, now this. Say this for him: At least he’s not a total pander machine this time around. He just … seems to be in the grip of a political death wish. I can’t even explain this in terms of him wanting to stick by a position he espoused in the past in order to signal to voters that he’s “authentic” and won’t bend on his principles easily. His position, ostensibly, is that he’s pro-life. This makes him look like he’s inching back towards his pro-choice past. Is he in fact pandering to centrists here, with an eye already towards the general election, or what?

Coming soon from Pawlenty, presumably: A nasty tweet ripping Mitt for forever flip-flopping on abortion, followed by a whole lot of stammering at the next debate. Bachmann, however, just might lay him out.

The [Susan B. Anthony List] pledge also states that a candidate will, if elected president, nominate pro-life persons to “relevant Cabinet and Executive Branch positions, in particular the head of National Institutes of Health, the Department of Health & Human Services, and the Department of Justice.” Such a provision, Saul said, would restrict Romney’s ability to choose his Cabinet.

The guy is a complete and total PHONY!

The campaign season has barely begun and already Romney is getting his lies mixed up.

HE doesn't even know what he stands for!

If Americans want a middle-of-the-road moderate (stands for nothing!) then the Mormon is the way to go. He’ll either complete Obozo’s job of destroying America painfully, or he’ll get the job done faster.

Romney will never be the answer to this nation’s dilemma.

If it harms Mitt’s chances even more, than it’s a good thing! NO MORE RINOS! Having a true conservative as the next POTUS should be a good thing for the entire U.S.! I wish the general election was now, instead of November ‘12. There’s and will be way too much damage created by the entire left, between now and mid January ‘13, and four more years of Obama will make things even worse!

She [Pain]is by far the best, but due to the media trashing, Bachmann has the best shot.

Exactly why the media is holding back on Bachmann for now, and concentrating on Gov Palin.

They were all gaga over McCain until he was nominated, then turned on him like a rabid banshee.

They haven't even really started on Bachmann yet.

If they can get her nominated they are ready with tons of stuff, real and made up.

Oh and BTW, Palin has done quite will tweaking the media trashing.

I don't think Bachmann could fare as well. Rollins would make sure of that, he is a Romney guy.

This is good news. There’s zero chance he’ll be the nominee if he keeps this crap up.

They keep touting Mr. RINO-care as the front-runner and he keeps showing why he’s a loser.

“I L O V E Bachmann....Palin is for carbon credits, and “registration” amnesty.”

What?

“I’m not exactly sure why people here support Palin so much more than they support Bachmann. Palin supported TARP while Bachmann led the opposition to it.”

What?

Breaking news that Romney declined, but not that Herman Cain also declined?

Dear God, please let him self-implode ;-)

I'm actually rooting for self-immolation, but, hey, self-implosion will work too!

Romney has a LOT of problems...I wish one of these talking heads would ask him to expound on his Gorian views on “man-made” global warming.

Wonder why no mention of Herman Cain's refusal to sign the pledge also?

SBA List is also calling on pro-life activists to put pressure on those candidates who have refused to sign, Mitt Romney, Herman Cain, and Gary Johnson, to sign the pledge.
