[…] You see for months Romney has taken it on the chin for his previous stances on abortion. Whether it was RedState’s Erick Erickson abandoning all hope for Romney because of his wife’s paltry donation to Planned Parenthood. Or EyeOn08’s outrage over supposed “lies” from the Romney camp about abortion. Or Joe Carter casting his vote elsewhere because of the dog incident. But the outrage apparently stops only at just at Romney’s door. […]

[…] Mitt Romney’s campaign has a problem with them misrepresenting his positions. Romney has misrepresented his position on abortion, as has his spokesman. Now, Jay Sekulow, one of Romney’s advisors on social conservative issues was asked by a student at CPAC how Romney stood on the human life amendment. See what he said: […]

[…] I am being told these days by numerous fence-sitters and Romney supporters that I should wait until Romney officially declares his candidacy before demanding a serious explanation for his absolute about face on abortion which came as he prepared for a Presidential run after he’d already been elected in Massachusetts after he spoke with his people about stem cells harvested from embryos. Let us wait and see, these people say, what Romney has to say when he hits the campaign trail. Fine. I’m willing to grant that, provisionally, although I don’t know why we should expect a more compelling explanation than the one he gave at the time; namely, that he was uninformed about abortion, but as he studied the ESS issue with knowledgeable people, he came somehow to the conclusion that abortion was wrong.* I do hope, however, that we are going to get an explanation, and not merely bald-faced lies like this one which was uncovered by eyeon08: […]

[…] The National Review Online’s White House Correspondent, Byron York, details some of the big problems Mitt Romney is having in South Carolina, not just for being pro-choice at one time, but for flip-flopping on the issue and then having his South Carolina spokesman try to say he’s been pro-life the whole time. Romney’s past statements about Ronald Reagan are also coming back to haunt him. Some social conservatives in the important primary state of South Carolina are expressing skepticism about Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney after reports of statements from the Massachusetts governor that were pro-choice, in favor of expansive gay rights, and dismissive of Ronald Reagan.

[…] In other words, Romney raises the issue of his religion to imply he’s a conservative (when he or his staff doesn’t just lie about it outright) I have said before that it is better for Romney to talk about Mormonism than it is to talk about his record. Article 6 Blog tried to sell this same proposition today by saying that Mormons and Southern Baptists have more in common, politically, than people who share similar theology, like Southern Baptists and the Sojourners crowd. Romney’s problem is that his politics haven’t been driven by his belief, as the quote above demonstrates. […]

[…] This was an especially odd formulation coming from Hugh, because during the very broadcast in which I was his guest along with John Podhoretz, he claimed Gov. Mitt Romney would creep up on Sen. John McCain (my client) and Mayor Rudy Giuliani (a subject of JPod’s most recent book) precisely because social issues would be so important to the 2008 presidential primary (the broadcast came one day before the New York Times revelation that Gov. Romney had flip-flopped on gay rights, just as he has on abortion). […]
