Mitt Romney = Hypocrisy


We have a Republican candidate for president, Mitt Romney, who wants to overturn Roe vs. Wade. Yet, in 1994, when he was running for the Senate, he came out in favor of choice for women. He admitted to Mormon feminist Judith Dushku that "the Brethren" in Salt Lake City told him that he could take that position, and that in fact he probably had to in order to win in a liberal state like Massachusetts. Pandering triumphs over religious belief.

The Mormon church has a history of changing long-held beliefs in order tyo gain power or economic advantage. They gave up multiple wives to become a state, for Moroni's sake. So one should not be surprised that Mitt would change his tune in order to get votes. Giuliani has changed his mind, or his public stance, on several issues, in order to appeal to a broader audience of intolerant assholes, but he at least doesn't pretend to have any principles.

I read a quote, about a mountain man who came to town to vote. He was arguing about his choice in the local saloon, and said to all within earshot, "Sir I will vote for the revealed devil, he of horns and filed teeth, over the candidate who hides his bifurcated tail under a suit and coat, and his sulphurous odor under a layer of cologne".

Paul,

It might save us some time and certainly bandwidth if you'd just profile the NON-HYPOCRITE candidates.

I think that would cut the discussion down to Paul and Kucinich.

Just a suggestion.

CLINTON SLEAZE WILL INVIGORATE GOP, DISPIRIT DEMOCRATS AND SINK DEMOCRATIC TICKET
.
It is possible that Senator Clinton is the best candidate. However, even though many may like the policies that Senator Clinton proposes, they should also consider her record, just as Senator Clinton insists.
.
The last Clinton Administration, when faced with the fact that protection rackets where assaulting, torturing and murdering people with poison and radiation, chose to avoid its responsibilities to incarcerate the criminals and to protect the citizenry.
.
Instead, they made a deal with the criminal gang stalker protection rackets to leave them alone and to consequently abandon the citizenry.
.
Do we want a President who sells out the citizenry for votes?
.
Do we want a President who sends a \"crime does pay\" message to society?
.
Would you vote for a President who signed nonaggression deals with the KKKlan or the Nazi party? Gangs that torture with poison and radiation are much like the KKKlan and Nazi Party.
.
We do not need a sellout President. We need a principled leader President.
.
If you are one of the few who do not know what the above refers to, do a web search for “gang stalking” to see the tip of the dirtberg. Please do it before you decide to reply to my post. Here let me make it easy for you: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22gang+stalking%22.

Political pandering has triumphed once again. The last Prez not to pander too much was probably Ike, and I'm sure that you can even remember how he pandered to McCarthy, at least at first...
