re: #466 _RememberTonyC

Mitt Romney is a quality individual, who like many of us has done some things wrong. Some of his positions have evolved and it is not a crime to change on certain issues. He is also a good man who is rational, mature, worldly, and level headed. If he runs for president and gets the GOP nomination, I will strongly consider voting for him.

So it doesn’t bother you in the least that he seems to have completely reversed his opinion on nearly every major issue? I’ll be the first person to acknowledge that I think a politician should not be afraid to change their opinion when presented with new evidence or new circumstances.

But the man has fundamentally changed nearly his entire political philosophy. He went from a man who admittedly was not personally in favor of abortion, but acknowledged that a woman’s right to choose existed, to someone who now supports a full federal ban.

He ran for the governorship of Mass. on a platform of healthcare reform and implemented a system that contains individual mandates to purchase health insurance. Yet now he is fully against the nearly identical reforms being pushed by the Dems.

This isn’t something like changing your mind about a foreign policy issue after new facts have been uncovered and new developments have happened. This is a man who has pulled a complete 180 with regard to fundamental issues regarding the role of the government.
