Debate Mitt-flop Watch: Stem Cell

4 May, 2007 (11:23) | Uncategorized | By: soren

Mitt Romney tried to dodge a question on embryonic stem-cell research, but Chris Matthews asked the tough questions. Again, Mitt flopped. Last night he said:

MODERATOR: And you won’t take any from these fertility clinics to use either?
ROMNEY: I’m happy to allow that to [...]

Debate Mitt-flop watch: Church and State

4 May, 2007 (10:59) | Uncategorized | By: soren

I was going to write on this but Deal Hudson beat me to it, and more articulately. Romney’s record:
As governor of Massachusetts, Romney ordered Catholic hospitals to administer emergency contraception to women who claim they had been raped.

Romney’s words last night:
I don’t say anything to Roman Catholic bishops. They can do whatever the heck [...]

Romney’s flip-flops take a village

17 April, 2007 (13:42) | Uncategorized | By: soren

Mitt Romney opened his mouth and inserted his foot again. However, it turns out that he was replacing Hillary Clinton’s words with his foot, so it may well be a trade up.
You see, back in 1998 he said that Hillary Clinton was "very much right" that "it takes a village:"
Hillary Clinton is very much right, [...]

Brownback campaign: Romney misleading voters

12 February, 2007 (17:41) | Uncategorized | By: soren

I think that this press release just about says it all. No need to comment. Apparently this was triggered by the Romney campaign circulating statements comparing Sam Brownback and Mitt Romney’s record on abortion:

 Mitt Romney’s Campaign Misleads Voters about Senator Brownback’s Position on Abortion

"Mitt Romney’s flip flops are enough to make John Kerry blush."

Alexandria, VA [...]

Is Romney telling the truth about his stem-cell position?

6 February, 2007 (13:19) | Uncategorized | By: soren

In the recent kerfuffle over the relationship between Mitt Romney’s universal health care plan and abortion, the Romney campaign issued a response in the "Myth vs. Fact" mode (although, I tend to think of them as "Mitt versus Reality"). At the end Romney said that he had a pro-life record, had defended the culture of [...]

Did Romney mandate taxpayer-funded abortion?

5 February, 2007 (11:15) | Uncategorized | By: soren

The latest attack on Mitt Romney’s abortion conversion narrative involves his signature healthcare plan — which he now is distancing himself from. The question, raised by Red State and The Prowler and based on more information from Mass Resistance, is whether the healthcare plan expanded publicly funded abortion, which Romney was on record supporting in [...]

Romney attacks conservative activist for flip-flopping

12 January, 2007 (10:35) | Media | By: eye

This can’t be smart. There goes Romney’s good media week. Romney launches an ad hominem attack against Brian Camecker, author of the the Mitt Romney Deception piece. Romney has been bleeding from that and an AP story about it.
In an attempt to undermine Camenker’s credibility, Romney’s campaign says:
Camenker Admits He Used To Be "A [...]

Fisking Mitt’s YouTube defense

11 January, 2007 (07:02) | Media | By: eye

The YouTube video of Mitt Romney during a 1994 debate with Ted Kennedy shows him to be an eloquent defender of gay rights and abortion rights and dismissive of Ronald Reagan. Romney released a YouTube video of his own (per David All’s best practices) claiming that he had been wrong on some issues in the [...]

EFM tries to cover up another Romney flip-flop-flip-flop

5 January, 2007 (12:19) | Uncategorized | By: eye

Evangelical for Mitt’s David French (whose wife and co-blogger lied to the press about funding people for the Southern Republican Leadership Conference) has written another apologetic on Mitt Romney’s record. In this case, a concerned Evangelical writes in and says that he read Mass Resistance’s "Romney Deception" piece and cannot abide by Romney’s record. So [...]

Romney attacked as a flip-flop-flip-flop-flipper on abortion

19 December, 2006 (12:02) | Uncategorized | By: eye

Jerry Zandstra, a member of Sam Brownback’s exploratory committee, sent the following letter to a (probably very) large number of Michigan conservative activists.  Some excerpts and the whole letter:
Excerpts:
Mitt Romney, current governor of Massachusetts and likely presidential candidate has had a tough couple of weeks.  It isn’t what others have said about [...]
