It all goes back to that one fellow at Heritage.
Here’s some more data for you:

Guess if you aren’t conservative you can just pay people off to pretend! Romney forgot that he can’t buy the conservative voters though . . .
Trying to persuade conservatives to support socialized medicine is a waste of time.
Right, a New York Times article and a Boston.com. They should know.
Please, now you’re being ridiculous. Since a team from the Heritage Foundation helped craft it and Heritage has a good solidly conservative reputation, I personally trust their articles on it (2 by Moffit and 2 by Haislmaier) much more than the New York Times.
More avoidance. I just looked at your tag. You claim to be a social conservative but you are wasting your time shilling for Romney. $50 copays for abortion in his health care plan. Appointment of homosexual activists to the bench. A “Commission on Gay Lesbian Bisexual and Transgender Youth” in Romney’s administration to implement the homosexual agenda in the schools. Something’s not right there.
“Something’s not right there.”
What’s not right are your so-called “facts.” Have you been listening to the Huckster, by any chance?
From Townhall:
MYTH: On NBC’s “Meet The Press,” Governor Huckabee Questioned Governor Romney’s Pro-Life Record. GOVERNOR HUCKABEE: “…[W]hen he comes on and says he’s pro-life and yet he signed a bill that gives a $50 co-pay for an elective abortion in his state’s health care plan.”
“FACT: Under State Law And Court Precedent, If The State Is Funding Health Care Benefits It Cannot Refuse To Provide Abortion Coverage:
“In 1981, The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court Ruled That The State Constitution Required Payment For Abortion Services For Medicaid-Eligible Women. (Moe v. Secretary of Admin & Finance, 1981)
According To The Decision, When A State Subsidizes Medical Care, It Cannot Infringe On “The Exercise Of A Fundamental Right” Which The Court Interpreted As Access To Medically Necessary Abortion Services. (Moe v. Secretary of Admin & Finance, 1981)”
(end of excerpt)
As for the appointment of “homosexual activists” to the bench, that’s a bogus claim too. Both of the appointments in question were to the lowest rung, District Court, because they were known for being “tough on crime,” which involves their job, and have NO chance to rise to the Supreme Court or even close. One of them, Abany, who is gay, was appointed as ASSOCIATE. The other, Hinkle, isn’t even homosexual.
Romney did, however, refuse to re-appoint a real activist homosexual (Gorton) to a position that mattered (Commissioner of Appellate Tax Board) because of his “questionable ethics and his outspoken gay activism negatively influencing his job performance.”
Romney also has ties to, and has donated to for years, the Federalist Society.
So much for your spin.
So he appointed homosexual activists, but you say it’s not important, and he put $50 copays into his healthcare program but that doesn’t matter because he had to (did he “have” to do the program at all — no!). Sell it to someone else.
You just can’t refrain from spinning the facts, can you? I don’t see why you should continue to since he’s out of the race anyway.
Hope you’re very happy with McCain.
Interesting analysis. I'll have to give it more thought as I consider whether I want to get behind McCain. This is not an easy choice for me.
Because those plenty others don’t have high enough IQ’s.
LOL!
