The Romney campaign is pointing out a 1994 campaign flyer that's made its way to the Web, and CBN's David Brody uses the flyer to defend Romney as a non-flipper on social issues in a blog entry entitled,"1994 Flyer Reveals Romney's Conservative Positions."
Brody either can't read or I don't get what he's trying to say. Brody writes:
Romney has taken a lot of heat for changing his position on abortion. But you have to wonder: Maybe Romney's been a conservative all along. It's just that in liberal Massachussets, to get elected, sometimes you have to bend a little more than you want to.
Yet when you read the flyer it says Romney's position is "YES" on "Retain a Woman's Right to Choose." To me, that means in 1994, Romney was pro-abortion. Now he says he is pro-life, even opposing embryo experimentation.
The flyer also indicates Romney's position is "YES" on "Fight Discrimination of all Kinds," which is campaign mumbo-jumbo for Romney supporting homosexual rights, even thirteen years ago. Today he says he opposes gay marriage, but is a little more foggy on civil unions.
Why would Romney's camp use this discussion to verify that their man's "been a conservative all along"?
Please enlighten here . . .
