In 2004, as Governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney banned the sale of assault weapons like the one used to spray 50-60 bullets a minute in the Colorado massacre.

On FOX News, Romney explained his position as follows:

"I believe the people should have the right to bear arms, but I don’t believe that we have to have assault weapons as part of our personal arsenal."

That seems like a perfectly reasonable position, no?

(Seriously: Do we really need to be able to buy and own these things? Is that really in the best interests of our society? Really?)

Unfortunately, in the intervening years, Romney has flip-flopped and now supports the sale of assault weapons like the one used in the Colorado massacre.

But the families of those who were shot and killed in the theater can presumably take some comfort from the fact that Romney was against these guns before he was for them.

And the Un-Masking of Mitt Romney, the lying, left-wing, Progressive Liberal, continues . . . "If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

It would seem our so-called conservative media refuses to provide a full and complete airing of Mitt Romney’s record because he is the presumptive GOP Nominee.

What we are left with is ammunition that the Left-wing media will be only too happy to use against both Mitt Romney and the GOP.

Wake me up when you quit slandering those who refuse to vote for Mitt and quit with the DU tactics.

[T-Bird45]

Excellent quotes, all exactly on point of the problem, specifically the direction of the US is towards less freedom and the only thing under discussion is the speed at which we will arrive at the goal of the lib-progs.

[cableguymn]

I have yet to see any weapon commit an assault on anyone or thing..

I have seen them used by HUMANS to commit assaults though.

Take a weapon away from those intent on using them in the wrong way and they will simply find a new weapon to use.

[tallyhoe]

So vote for Zero. At least he is a Socialist course he won’t tell you that. Zero will try to edict gun from existence and say he won’t do that....

[umgud]

The victims in CO weren’t shot with an assault weapon. The AR 15 is just a semi-auto rifle.

[Jim Robinson]

And he’ll do it again. Has already signaled his intent.

why yes... yes we do. If they are good enough for a tyrannical government they are good enough for the people.

Obama and the Democrats and Socialists are all grateful for your efforts!

Yup, but Mitt apparently agrees with the left-wing that you and I don't need "Scary-looking" "Assault" weapons.

Mitt apparently also disagrees with the idea tha the 2nd Amendment was put their to protect the rights of the OWNERS of the Government to take the government back if it is no longer listening.

Or, in other words, that the 2nd Amendment was meant to put the fear of the citizens in the minds of the those in the Government.

Sorry, but that right there is the slander, and you full well know it.

Ping to Romney Real Record Post!

[liberty or death]

I am voting Obama OUT! We’ll deal with Mitt next. Leave Obama in and reap the wirlwind. He has no respect for the Constitution or the power of any other arm of government or the people. Mitt at the very least does. We cannot win this all at once. The history of this great experiment known as the USA teaches us that that all change is slow. Like turning the Titanic. Mitt is maybe 40% better. The 40% will turn the Titanic away from the iceburg and give us a chance. Putting Obama in again is like setting off a collective nuke.

[Colonel_Flagg]

Mitt steps in his record again. Now he’s got it all over his suit.

Thanks for the ping.

[SoConPubbie]

Are you really supporting that lying, left-wing, Progressive Liberal Mitt Romney?

[Kansas58]

A Romney win pretty much assures a GOP takeover of the Senate.

Bashing Romney actually hurts our chances for a GOP takeover of the Senate.

Coat Tails MATTER, UNIFIED CAMPAIGNS Matter!
