Re: "Former governor Mitt Romney, who once described himself as a supporter of strong gun laws, is distancing himself from that rhetoric now as he attempts to court the gun owners who make up a significant force in Republican primary politics."   Is this accurate? You be the judge. Lets lay out the time line of Romney's position on Gun Control, and see if Romney has changed or if the Boston Globe is guilty of working for the Democratic party when they assert the above statement   Governor Mitt Romney and Firearms Policy According to his 2002 gubernatorial campaign, Romney "is a supporter of the federal assault weapons ban. Mitt also believes in the rights of those who hunt to responsibly own and use firearms." July 1st, 2002 Mitt Romney signed a permanent ban on Assault Weapons. "Deadly assault weapons have no place in Massachusetts ," Romney said, at a bill signing ceremony with legislators, sportsmen's groups and gun safety ad...

Let's talk about the war. Not the Iraq war. This war is between Mitt Romney and the anti-Romney grassroots groups in Massachusetts. I've never seen anything like this. My email inbox is scorching hot from the rhetoric flying from both sides. But here's where it gets real interesting. Normally, groups like Mass Resistance, led by the leader Brian Camenker get minimal attention. But they have been pretty diligent in consistently pounding home this "Romney's a hypocrite" theme. They haven't received too much attention from the mainstream media but the Boston Globe has run with some of their research and the blogosphere is talking about it. Let's do a reset here. Mitt Romney wants to be President. A Group called Mass Resistance thinks he's a phony. Romney calls himself a true conservative. This group thinks he's anything but citing what they say are his flip flops on gay rights, abortion and a host of other issues. They detail all of their claims...

This is an actual Press Release that Mitt Romney released. We are letting the democrats get away, and no one confronts them. Romney would change this. ~ Myclob July 23, 2004 ROMNEY, DECRYING POLITICS, VETOES SENATE VACANCY BILL Says Democrats are putting interests of party ahead of the people Governor Mitt Romney today vetoed a bill that would leave empty the office of U.S. Senator for as much as five months while a special election is carried out in the event of a vacancy. Romney's veto comes after the Legislature rejected a proposed amendment by the Governor that would have allowed the Senate President and House Speaker a consultative role in an interim appointment. "The bill deprives the people of Massachusetts from continuous representation in Congress," said Romney. "This would put Massachusetts at a disadvantage relative to every other state and would deny our citizens an equal voice on important issues that affect the Commonwealth an...

Boston, MA – Governor Mitt Romney, in direct consideration of the proposed increase in troop deployments in Iraq, issued the following statement today putting an emphasis on the need for clear and measurable strategic objectives. "I agree with the President: Our strategy in Iraq must change. Our military mission, for the first time, must include securing the civilian population from violence and terror . It is impossible to defeat the insurgency without first providing security for the Iraqi people. Civilian security is the precondition for any political and economic reconstruction. "In consultation with Generals, military experts and troops who have served on the ground in Iraq, I believe securing Iraqi civilians requires additional troops. I support adding five brigades in Baghdad and two regiments in Al-Anbar province. Success will require rapid deployment. "This effort should be combined with clear objectives and milestones for U.S. and Iraqi leaders. "...

Romney, unlike I heart Huckibee, supports Bush. Its not only the democrats pooring A-1. Governor Mitt Romney and Islamist "The key issues we face, of course, are first, the conflict with the jihadists. This is a conflict which is going on within the world of Islam, and the jihadists are attempting to overcome the moderate, modern factions of Islam and replace them with a caliphate. It's going to require the involvement of the U.S. as a leader of the world to help move Islam away from that kind of extremism and violence." Governor Mitt Romney, Q&A: Mitt Romney Discusses Iraq War, Reagan's Influence and Gay Marriage "The defeat of this radical and violent faction of Islam must be achieved through a combination of American resolve, international effort, and the rejection of violence by moderate, modern, mainstream Muslims . An effective strategy will involve both military and diplomatic actions to support modern Muslim nations. America must help lead a bro...

"The easy way to fix any problem is to go to the people and say you have to pay more money, but that's not what the job of management is. The job of management is to find ways to permanently and structurally change the costs of our structure such that we can have a balanced budget without always raising taxes every time people think there's a need." Governor Mitt Romney, Boston Herald, March 22, 2002

Selwyn Duke ( SD@SelwynDuke.com ),   re: http://www.americanthinker.com/2007/01/mitt_romney_a_massachusetts_li.html Can you define someone is a "Liberal" with two issues issues? Is that how "American Thinkers" debate? Do you think you were accurate in your description of Romney? What did you add to the conversation that could not be found,   more accurately here:   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governorship_of_Mitt_Romney#Abortion   and here   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governorship_of_Mitt_Romney#Same-sex_marriage   ?   I have never seen a less accurate quote of someone in my life. You say, " Thus, it's no wonder that while campaigning against Ted Kennedy in 1994, Romney said that anti-marriage "is not appropriate at this time."  My guess is that the time will be right when the electorate is left." What is anti-marriage? You represent the "American Thinker"? That is a sad comm...

Quotes from Governor Mitt Romney on the Family Welcome to the site! Please help me maintain a comprehensive list of quotes and actions from Governor Mitt Romney regarding the family. Just ask me for the password, and I'll give it to you. "America cannot continue to lead the family of nations around the world if we suffer the collapse of the family here at home." Governor Mitt Romney ""Experience shows that kids have a far better chance of succeeding if they have a mother and a father at home. Of course, divorce or death means that there will always be many, many single parents; these single parents often make huge sacrifices and their kids can indeed succeed. But let's do everything we can to encourage our kids to have their kids after they've married, not while they're single and in school. We have sex education in our schools. Let's also have abstinence education in our schools. Marriage and two parent families are fundamental to ...

For those who are just starting your observation of Mitt Romney, I would like to introduce you to one of the stupid accusations that you will hear (until 2008, when eventually you will want to bash your brains out). John R. Bohrer of the Huffington Post is the latest zombie who repeats the following: "Romney is more readily identified with the Salt Lake City Olympics and making the state that elected him the butt of his jokes." But no one ever gives you an example of the Jokes that Romney tells about Massachusetts , because there are none. Romney says that there are a lot of liberals there, but that is not a joke. It is an observation. And unlike observations from liberals, it is the truth . There are a lot of liberals in Massachusetts. Why does pointing this out hurt the poor feelings of the poor liberals of poor Massachusetts? Were they trying to keep their presence there a secret? Are they behind in child support payments, and think this information will help f...

Maybe I went a little far in my responses to the journalist below.  However, it looks like WorldNetDaily is goint to be pretty blatantly anti-Romney. Look at the links to the two stories they ran on Jan 2nd.  What a juxtaposition and it solidifies their anti-Romney bias. http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=53598 http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=53615 Some other stuff they've had up: http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=53373 http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=53239 http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=52244 "Sexual fascism is alive and well in the People's Republic of Massachusetts, thanks to liberal Republicans.

Mitt Romney never changed his position on gay marriage.  He has always been against it (in 1994 statements, in 2002, and now).  If his own supporters keep repeating this MSM mantra (lie) then maybe we should just give up hope of combating it?   See below:    http://iowansforromney.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html   GAY MARRIAGE ISSUE CLARIFICATION: A follow-up piece from today's Globe continued the deception: The Times story follows a Globe story published yesterday that reported that Romney told a Boston-area gay newspaper in 1994 that legalizing gay marriage should be left up to individual states, contrasting with his more recent position that marriage should only occur between men and women and his support of a federal constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriages. What Romney actually said: On whether he supported the civil marriage rights of same-sex couples: "I line up with Gov. Weld on that, and it's a state issue ...

Governor Mitt Romney is a flip-floper? Reasons to agree Romney changed his position on abortion . Romney changed his position on gay marriage . Reasons to disagree It is not bad to change your position , or change it back. Being called a flip-floper emplies that a politician is lying. There is no evidence that Mitt Romney lies. In fact there is a lot of evidence that he tells the truth, and keeps his commitments. You have to say what positions he has changed, in order to make that assertion. So see my responses (above) to the only two examples I have ever seen, as examples of his flip-floppery. Governor Mitt Romney does not like flip-flopperyness, and has spoken against it . A flip is changing your position. A flip-flop is changing your position, and changing it back. The only example I have ever heard of a Romney's flip-floping was his so-called change on Abortion. So changing your position once, would make Romney a fliper, not a flip-flopper.

We have a problem in America... Republicans only talk to republicans and Democrats only talk to Democrats. We don't want Romney Supporters to only talk to Romney supporters. Go to this site: http://blogsearch.google.com/ Type "Mitt Romney" and correct one lie about Romney a day. Tell me what you find. You will find some good stuff, and some stupid stuff. I want to hear about it all. ~ Mike

Why I vetoed contraception bill By Mitt Romney | July 26, 2005 YESTERDAY I vetoed a bill that the Legislature forwarded to my desk. Though described by its sponsors as a measure relating to contraception, there is more to it than that. The bill does not involve only the prevention of conception: The drug it authorizes would also terminate life after conception. Signing such a measure into law would violate the promise I made to the citizens of Massachusetts when I ran for governor. I pledged that I would not change our abortion laws either to restrict abortion or to facilitate it. What's more, this particular bill does not require parental consent even for young teenagers. It disregards not only the seriousness of abortion but the importance of parental involvement and so would weaken a protection I am committed to uphold. I have spoken with medical professionals to determine whether the drug contemplated under the bill would simply prevent conception or whether it would also ter...

Quotes from Governor Mitt Romney about President Ronald Reagan 2004 "It is appropriate and fitting to set aside a day to honor the memory of Ronald Reagan, who inspired the nation with his optimism and belief in the greatness of the American people. He led the nation with vision, courage and humor and defended freedom and democracy around the world." Governor Mitt Romney, 06-08-2004 Press Release "And if you think that during the great national policy debate of the 1980's, Ronald Reagan was wrong and Ted Kennedy was right, then by all means send in John Kerry ." Governor Mitt Romney, 09-01-2004 2002 Republican Convention 2005 "I believe people who are in a position of visibility and leadership affect the character of young people and individuals who look to them as leaders. And in some respects just as important as their policies and positions is there character and their substance. What for me makes people like Teddy Roosevelt and Franklin...
