Guess who just flip-flopped? Mittens is against Roe vs Wade today.
I guess his aid was not wrong after all when he said that Romney lied in the 2002 campaign.

Now that Santorum has withdrawn from the 2008 race, is Romney trying to replace him?

I found his excuse to vetoing the bill totally surrealist.

Romney vetoes law on pill, takes aim at Roe v. Wade
Opinion article reflects a shift from '02 view

By Scott S. Greenberger, Globe Staff | July 26, 2005

Three years after expressing support for ''the substance" of Roe v. Wade, Governor Mitt Romney today criticizes the landmark ruling that legalized abortion and says the states should decide separately whether to allow it.

...

Romney said he had vetoed the emergency contraception bill to fulfill his 2002 campaign promise not to change state abortion laws.

1. He's a jackass.

He hasn't announced he's not running for re-election, but this maneuver says it loud and clear.

He could never win here again. He clearly cares more about the good opinion of the wingnuts than about the opinion of the people of his own state.

2. Mittens is nothing but an opportunistic liar
I was listening to the local evening news yesterday, and a reporter commented that Romney said he supported wider access to emergency contraception when he campaigned for governor. In response to his veto, she asked him what sort of 'emergency contraception' does he actually support. When pressed, he admitted that it doesn't yet exist. :banghead:

Because the bill passed with a veto-proof majority, his veto will be overridden. This is just Mittens grandstanding for the wingnuts on this.

To folks who encounter Mittens-the-presidential-candidate in the 2008 race: He is an opportunistic liar who will say anything to get elected. :puke:

3. And he's a friggin retard to boot
Edited on Tue Jul-26-05 11:17 AM by TayTay
I can't stand that lying, two-faced, phoney-baloney, POS out-stater who lied to get elected and now is lying in order to get, in effect, un-elected by the good citizens of Mass.

And to top it all off, he goes away to NH and leaves Barbie in charge of the State. (But he doesn't trust Barbie to get the job done on important things like denying women the reproductive right to control their own body so he toodles in from NH, vetoes the legislation and then goes back to lazing around Winnepausaukee. What a guy!)

What a friggin arseh*le. And we still have Kerry ('Barbie') Healey hanging around the state, ready to try and convince innocent voters that she is not a lightweight. (Good luck Barbie! If you want to spread horseshit like that around you ought to be on a farm, ya friggin bimbo.)

Honestly, I would laugh at those morans, if it wasn't really serious stuff they are desperately trying to disrupt.

EDIT: Any other Massholes here think that Kerry Healey is really just rented by the MA Rethugs to give Mittens a blond bimbo for photo-ops?

"Hey, Mitt, we need to get the women's vote, but you kinda suck and no real women will pose with you, not even if you take your shirt off again. What do we do?"
"I know, let's call Rent-A-Barbie and get a blond over here. Trust me, it'll work."

Grrr, I can't stand these people. Does it show.

9. Ok,
Edited on Tue Jul-26-05 11:45 AM by whometense
Just wrote a blog post. Tell me if you think it's mean enough: http://toughenough.org/2005/07/why-mittens-is-wanker.html

Good one here: http://www.chimesatmidnight.blogspot.com/http://chimesatmidnight.blogspot.com/2005/07/crash-of-whip-part-ii.html

Edited to add: I always thought the reason Kerry Healey existed was to make Mittens look intelligent.

11. Thank you,
thank you. Yeah, as you can see, no love lost. I think he's dangerous because he has that slick blandness that voters-who-pay-no-attention seem to love.

4. When did Santorum withdraw from the 2008 race?
If Santorum has withdrawn from the 2008 presidential race, I'll be doing a happy little Snoopy-dance around my cubicle. :bounce:

5. Allegedly on CNN last night
He did this as he was busy imploding with more idiotic remarks about birth control, the place of women and how many miles to the gallon his covered wagon gets. (Highway/city)

GOP Sen. Santorum Rules Out 2008 Bid

The Associated Press
Monday, July 25, 2005; 4:59 PM

WASHINGTON -- Republican Sen. Rick Santorum said Monday he has no intention to seek the presidency in 2008.

The Pennsylvania conservative, who recently wrote a book titled "It Takes a Family," said he couldn't imagine putting his family through another campaign after his re-election bid in 2006. Recent state polls show Democrat Bob Casey Jr. leading the two-term incumbent.

"I have six children ages 4-14. And the idea of coming off a race of the intensity that I am engaged in at this point and turning around and running another two-year campaign for president is not something that I believe is in the best interest of my family," Santorum said in an online interview with The Washington Post.

7. Sorry, I thought I heard it on CNN
Must have been all that Romney Madness knocked it out of my head.

I think the covered wagon gets 3 or 4 miles to the bale of hay. It's the most progressive thing he owns.

8. I 'm sure he said that many times yesterday...
He probably needs this promise to hope a win in PA. We'll then see if he is more reliable than others on these types of promise.
