Unfortunately, Governor Romney has been forced to deal with many misinformation campaigns. As many others may continue to wrestle with these questions, here’s a quick synopsis of the points mentioned in the article above:

1. Governor Romney has NOT changed his position on Gay Marriage. Don’t believe the spin. Not only has he never supported this, he has fought more vehemently against it than any other candidate. The facts are these: in 1994 he supported treating Homosexuals fairly. Back then the “Gay” agenda was simply having the right to visit your significant other in the hospital. But thanks to many years of Clintonian tolerance and acceptance, the gay agenda has drastically expanded to include marriage, adoption, etc. When the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court decided to read something into the Massachusetts constitution and force the state to start performing gay marriages, Governor Romney sprung into action, denouncing the decision, dusting off an obscure law that disallowed couples from other states to come to Massachusetts to avail themselves of this new found “right”, and labored tirelessly to have the state constitution amended to close correct this judicial overstep. He testified before congress in support of a Federal Marriage amendment, and even brought suit against the Massachusetts state legislature to force them to begin the process to amend the state constitution (this has since floundered because the liberal democrats that now control the state have scuttled his efforts). So, no flipping or flopping from Governor Romney on this issue. Times have changed since 1994.

2. There has been no change on his position on embryonic stem cell research either. When this came up (for the first time while he was governor), he studied the issue, saw that it cheapened the value of life, opted to oppose it, and has remained actively opposed. So again, no flip nor flop, and no explanation necessary.

3. Now, about abortion. Governor Romney has been very forthright on this issue. I can’t say it better than he has, so I won’t try. Needless to say, he has admitted that he was effectively pro-choice (even though he was personally opposed to abortion), but has moved over to the pro-life camp. Many find it refreshing to have a candidate who doesn’t hide from their past, but is honest enough to admit his mistake and move on. For the record, when it mattered, he made the right decisions. Every action he took as Governor, every single time he was faced with this issue, was on the side of life. This was not a popular position in Massachusetts, but he held steadfast. You need not doubt his resolve. So here we have a flip, but certainly no flop. The flip flop label is for those who move back and forth on an issue for political expediency (e.g. I was against the war, before I was for it, then against it again. And more recently, I’ve always been for the Bush tax cuts, even though I voted against them, but was for them, but still am proud to have voted against them…)

So you can see the only reason a misplaced Flip Flop label may haunt him is because people don’t bother to do their own research and opt instead to believe the media and the other campaigns. When honest voters do even rudimentary research into these assertions, they find the flip/flop label simply does not apply.

Now, why am I supporting Governor Romney? Because he is the right man for the times and is the only candidate with a credible record of bringing about positive change. He has the experience and extensive track record of success that he needs to tackle the issues we face at home and abroad. He knows what makes this country great, has the vision to lead us to even greater heights, and he knows how to get the job done. This endorsement is profoundly right on that score.

That is one of the main reasons I am supporting Mitt Romney — he is a man who brings a team together to ruthlessly analyze problems, then ruthlessly brainstorms solutions, and then puts the solutions to work. AND, if the solution don’t work, has the courage and humility to go back to the drawing board to find a solution that DOES work.

He is a CAN DO and WILL DO kind of guy! That is my kind of guy!

That is the kind of man we need in the Oval Office - NOW!

Go Mitt!
