FLASH: Romney is a Scumbag

If you haven’t had a chance to see the new YouTube clip of pro-choice, pro-gay Romney in his 1994 race against Ted Kennedy, go check it out right now. It’s an amazing video, all taken from one debate that clearly illustrates how much of an opportunist our former Governor is, totally lacking any core values.

In the debate Old Romney speaks of a “dear family friend” who died from a botched illegal abortion pre Roe v. Wade, and how that experience solidified his support for safe, legal abortions.

I really wonder what the New Romney would say about that now that he believes so much in the “sanctity of life.” Sanctity of who’s life? Since this “dear friend” of the Romney’s died in the process of terminating a pregnancy, does New Romney think she got what was coming to her?

    That’s the real thing to me: not that Romney might be conservative, while I’m a liberal. I can stomach that; Barry Goldwater and Pete Domenici are conservatives, but I see their sincerity. I don’t agree with them, but I acknowledge their convictions.

    However, as you say, Romney has no core values, and that’s what I hope the republican voters start to understand as the presidential primary season begins. I don’t care who the republicans pick to run for president. But I hope for their own sake they aren’t flimflammed the way we in Massachusetts were when we elected Mitt governor.
