More likely to vote for anyone but a Mormon

[Cow Poke]

But he does think that open gays should be allowed in scouting. Makes me want to vote for someone else...

That HAS to be a "peer pressure" response. He can't REALLY believe that.

Romney had outlined his views in 1994 during a political debate, and that his stance has not changed.

“I support the right of the Boy Scouts of America to decide what it wants to do on that issue,” Romney stated during the debate. “I feel that all people should be able to participate in the Boy Scouts regardless of their sexual orientation.”

I just saw it yesterday... ruined mine too. It sucks that we have to vote for the lesser of two evils... because the lesser is STILL evil. I don't think Romney is fit to be a social conservative, and that has nothing to do with his Mormonism (which he seems to disagree with current Mormon leaders on nearly every social issue anyway )

Old, dated excerpt from back when Romney was running against Ted K.

How much vomit did you regurgitate over Ronald Reagan's pro-abortion stance? Did that prevent you from voting for Reagan in 1980? Lemme guess: You couldn't make it to the polls to vote for Jimmy Carter that year, because you were throwing up too much over Reagan's erstwhile support for abortion rights?

His press handler declared the other day that his view has not changed.

How much vomit did you regurgitate over Ronald Reagan's pro-abortion stance?

As conservative columnist Warner Tood Huston has written, "In light of the evidence it cannot be said that Reagan was ever an ‘adamant’ pro-abortion supporter."

Isn't it common knowledge that Reagan was at one time pro-choice (as Cal. Gov.) and later underwent a "change of heart" and came out as newly converted to the pro-life cause?

[nrajeff]

How can a pro-life conservative admire the baby killer Ronald Reagan?
As Governor of California in 1967, Reagan signed into law what was then the most liberal legislation regarding abortion.

As president, Reagan nominated the pro-choice Sandra Day O'Connor and the other pro-choice Kennedy!

Not a true conservative in my book!

In the 2005 book "Essential Ronald Reagan," writer Lee Edwards points out that Reagan felt duped into signing the measure because his legal advisors told him it would leave the vast majority of abortions illegal.


He writes that Reagan came to "deeply" regret signing the bill.


In a period before Roe v. Wade, Reagan didn’t have the advantage of knowing that abortion advocates and courts would misuse the health exception in the bill to allow virtually all abortions to become legal. That wasn’t Reagan’s intent at all, despite Creswell’s presentation of Reagan as an abortion advocate whom pro-life voters would distrust.


Reagan’s most able biographer, Lou Cannon, writes that Reagan have never really grappled with the issue of abortion, but that he experienced regret as soon as 1968 over signing the bill.


Reagan said that "those were awful weeks" when he realized the fallout from the legislation and that he would never have signed the bill if he had "been a more experienced governor."


As Edwards points out and Creswell leaves out, "When legislators in 1970 proposed new liberalizations in the abortion law, Reagan successfully opposed them."


Then Governor Reagan eventually wrote a constituent a letter making a now common pro-life argument.


"Those who summarily advocate a blanket population control [Reagan's emphasis] should think carefully. Who might they be doing away? Another Lincoln or Bethoven, an Einstein or Edison? Who shall play God?" Reagan wrote.
