Thank you for the most succinct statement, and the most excellent site!

My only question at this point, and I'm looking for answers, not "flames", is: what exactly is Romney's position regarding right to life? I understand he made some bad decisions as governor of Massachusetts, and was forced into some "compromises" by a solid Democrat House and Senate. What about now? and more importantly, is it possible/credible that he's either had a legitimate change of heart (it's been known to happen), OR he has always personally been pro-life, and views being POTUS as a different "platform" than being governor of Massachusetts, where he didn't really have much power to influence the legislators?

I do understand the principles involved here, and I'm not advocating for Governor Romney. I am advocating against four more years of President Obama. Give me another realistic option, and I'm there!!

First of all, you have to get the foundation of your understanding correct before you can start on the search for answers.

Romney never was "forced" into compromises.

He CHOSE to compromise.

He was not forced to unconsitutionally implement Gay Marriage, he CHOSE to do that over the publicly stated protestations of most conservatives at the time. Romney not only had the choice, he had the constitutional duty to refuse to implement Gay Marriage.

I will post a copy of the letter that they signed and hand-delivered to Romney that perfectly lays out in detail the unconstitutional nature of his actions where Gay Marriage is concerned to prove my point.

Romney was not "Forced" into nominating 27 of 36 extreme, radical leftists, he CHOSE to nominate those nominees. He could have always refused the group of jurists he was given to select from, he CHOSE not to.

He did not just make bad decisions, he made HORRIBLE CHOICES.
