Denial. C’mon. It’s not edited other than being compiled together in one video. The individual recordings of the programs where he stated these things have been out there for many years and can easily be found on youtube. Romney has advocated for legalized abortion for the most of his adult life if not all of it. His mama taught him.
He’s a progressive liberal. Always has been, always will be.
Dear Jim,
When I say that the video clip was edited, I mean that they only compiled those words that supported the narrative. They did not change his words - they just picked the most extreme and clipped off the qualifiers and weasel words that followed. Some of our freepers seem to me to do the same - painting a picture of Romney as to the left of Teddy Kennedy. He was a politician trying to cut deals in an overwhelmingly leftist state. The reality of someone actually in that arena trying to govern is that the legislature can override any veto, and you have to trade concessions to get anything you want done from a bureaucracy and power structure that is solidly leftist. After a few years of that, there will be plenty of conciliatory sound bites to piece together which will fall short of the Reagan standard (even though Reagan himself was once a Democrat, a union boss and signed an abortion bill as Governor).
I can admit that Romney is far to left of where I am on abortion (although sadly he’s nearer the center of American political opinion), gay marriage and gun control.
Can you please acknowledge that Obama is much worse?
Our realistic choice is the lesser of two evils. Withholding votes from Romney, or discouraging people from voting for him, ultimately serves Obama’s interests, and thereby damages America’s. I am praying that we all can do the hard things that need to be done to protect our Republic.
Obama must be defeated.
