Romney at a Glance

Mitt Romney has gone out of his way to be hostile to conservatives. He will not make a pledge on low taxes. He is in favor of gambling casinos. He is not pro-life. (No one denies that the law on abortion must be followed by the Governor, but Romney has gone far beyond that. Did Ronald Reagan not follow the law when opposing abortion?)

Romney apparently does not believe in traditional marriage and has said nasty things about the Protection of Marriage Amendment, which his wife, son and daughter-in-law all signed. If he is afraid of that issue because he is a politician, an intelligent response would have been that this issue is now in the hands of the people and we should respect the Constitution and their decision. Even if we forget the ethical values, that would have been a much better political decision than alienating the 60% of the voters who favor the Amendment. That shows terribly poor judgment.
