Would you say there are 50M illegal immigrants to MY face? In a crowd of informed people? If you said such a thing, everyone would just laugh at you. There would be no need for me to crack a joke. PS...I guess "PC jerk" and "coward" aren't "names."
Funny thing is, his church was divided on its stance about gay marriage until the leader of the church came out and expressed gay marriage as a devaluation of the institution of marriage. It wasn't just Romney that changed his mind when the leader said that.
If you couldn't handle having a heated discussion face-to-face, why are you in a politics-oriented forum?
Well, if you're busy digging up what you see as the personal dirt on me, I should have the same liberty.
[Sigh] It's not always about you all the time. Just that it's very illustrative now that we have a GOP front-runner who is a much greater flip-flopper than Kerry ever was in 2004 and suddenly, flip-flopping is a sign of maturity, flexibility, being principled and a leader. Now, it's something that all candidates have to aspire to. Unless it's a Democrat.
With Mitt, you know nothing about what he'll do because he's changed his stances so often, in order to win whatever election he's be in.
This is where it's a good thing no-tolerance-for-crime Guiliani won't get elected: even an implied threat like this might get you tossed in jail!
For the most part, I think Republicans hated Kerry for being a Democrat. Flip flopping was just the excuse they had to discredit him. Strangely similar situations, don't you think?
Can you guys take your fight to some other thread? The Hillary thread would be a good site for this... This thread is for news of Mitt Romney's campaign, that is leading in early Florida primary polls...
No, not really. Kerry changed his mind (sorta) on his vote on the war (from which his opinion was based on faulty intelligence). Romney changed his mind (after 40 YEARS!) on the single most intensely argued, divisive subject in American politics, at the exact moment it became politically beneficial.
