He's a flip-flopping Massachusetts liberal. I'm sure that politicians do change their opinions over time, but Romney's changing positions seem to perfectly coincide with his run for the presidency. As little as two years ago, he was pro-choice.

With that said, I don't dislike Romney. I know he won't win the nomination, but in fact, he's my choice for the GOP nomination.
 
I live in MA, I can't say I remember really. He was out of the state most of the time, the only time he ever said anything was during the campaign trail, and the difference between what he said he was into then and what he did is astounding.

When you watch the video from that 1994 debate and then look at his website today the change is incredible.

Abortion, particularly is obvious as he over and over again in that clip said he respects the right of the woman to choose and did since 1970 when his mother was running for Senate.

Kerry, for the most part, was Swift Boated as a Flip Flopper (everyone has minor changes over a long career) but with Romney its like he was spirited away, brainwashed and then re-released.

Doesn't he realize that in the You Tube age his past is not going to go away?
 
Maybe flip flopping, or maybe changing his opinion.

In 2004 he met with a stem cell researcher, Douglas Melton. After learning about the research involving embryos, he claims, his opinion changed to pro-life.

In gay marriage, I suppose he might have just changed his mind by 2006 when he supported the marriage amendment ??

He either has made a conservative turn around... or something's up.

Personally I'd rather have McCain, if I had to choose a republican for president.
