Romney Pro-Choice Again for Matter of Hours Today; Now Anti-Choice Again.

[kpete]

The formerly pro-choice Mitt Romney briefly went pro-choice again today when he told the editorial board of the Des Moines Register:

“There’s no legislation with regards to abortion that I’m familiar with that would become part of my agenda,” the Republican presidential nominee told The Des Moines Register in an interview

.

That, of course, comes after Romney's very publicly renouncing his earlier pro-choice position prior to deciding to run for president. It also conflicts with his prior statements that he would seek to appoint justices that would overturn Roe v. Wade.

In response to Mitt Romney's latest flip-flop, he flip-flopped right back with Katrina Trinko of the National Review tweeting the following:

1. Mitt just fucked his glory week up

Almost made it all the way through Tuesday. But it's tough when you're living a lie.

2. When abortion comes up at the next debate this gives Obama a great opening

No need to wait for the debate however, the Obama campaign needs to attack this hard starting immediately.

3. Yup. Ad entitled "Flip Flopper for President" - show yes/no

quotes from Romney - and ask the voters if they want someone who's more consistent or someone who changes his mind every other day...

4. We need to find out what triggers his shape-shifting

Werewolves shape-shape during a full moon. Was the planet Kolob somehow involved today?

5. He thinks he's presenting a moving target

Brilliant!

6. Willard is not flip flopping...

Throughout this campaign he has deliberately delivered very different messages to different audiences. Every time Rmoney has delivered a moderate message to a mainstream audience his campaign has quickly released another message to his conservative base reassuring them of his severely conservative core beliefs.

Two faced, yes - flip flopping, no. His tactics have more sinister motives.

7. UR correct, sir! here is your reward:

8. As long as Roberts is the CJ they won't overturn RvW anyways.

He already said he wouldn't do it. This is just sleight of hand by Romney to get the votes, but we should point out to all Repubes we know that he is pro-choice and has been his whole life. He's still pro-choice but wants to get elected.

9. "Would support" vs. having legislation already in his agenda

Not a direct contradiction. Both can be true. But definitely tailored for two different audiences. They give opposite impressions.
