How did Romney fabricate falsehoods about Reagan? And how do you know it was deliberate? We need to be careful about being so subjective, we need to be more concrete. We shouldn’t throw this election away over misunderstandings, which is what this sounds like more than anything. I find it very hard to believe that a Mormon was a rapid supporter of abortions until recently, it just doesn’t make sense. Mormons are not like Catholics, generally, when people are Mormon, it’s because they have very traditional family values. Please don’t ask me why, it’s just something I’ve noticed. By contrast, Catholics are entirely different. They can range anywhere from very traditional to admitting they don’t even believe in God and be very liberal to-boot!
That is funny. The second question gives credence to the first question. Two questions going in opposite directions, leading back to the the same answer.
I touched on it in #21. On Fox News Sunday, the August 12th 2007 edition, Romney stated that Reagan was "adamantly pro-choice". Everyone knows that Reagan was adamantly pro-life. He never supported Roe v Wade or abortion on demand. Romney is an intelligent man. Why would be make such a remark we all know isn't true? If it was a simple mistake, he could have apologized. Instead, Romney has stood by that statement. Therefore, he must have said it with an a specific purpose in mind. IMO, Romney made that outrageous remark to lend cover to his pro-abortion record that goes back to the early 1970`s. Mitt figures people will buy it. If Reagan was once pro-choice and he got elected POTUS, why can't I be pro-choice too and run for POTUS. The rationale is crystal clear.
Btw, this has nothing to do with his religious affiliation. It has to do with Mitt not being a conservative.
