    Pro-Family Group Says Romney Not a Conservative

    Pro-Family Group Says Romney Not a Conservative

    Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney is positioning himself as a conservative in his bid for the 2008 GOP presidential nomination, but a pro-family group from Romney's home state says the governor's newfound conservatism is style over substance.

    A pro-family activist group in Massachusetts is warning that Governor Mitt Romney is not the conservative politician he's portraying himself to be. The group has unveiled a lengthy document titled "The Mitt Romney Deception."

    Mass Resistance founder Brian Camenker says the Republican presidential candidate has been "posturing" himself in other states as a conservative, pro-life, anti-homosexual "marriage" candidate -- but his record, says the activist, tells a much different story. Camenker has followed Romney since his first political campaign against Ted Kennedy in 1994.

    "I watched him on television talk about how he was for abortion and how he would be more for homosexual rights than Ted Kennedy himself," he shares. "I mean, we watched him say this on television. And when he ran for governor, we all watched as he claimed to be just as pro-choice as his Democrat opponent."

    In "The Mitt Romney Deception," Camenker states that Romney's "new found conversion" to conservatism "very likely coincides with his candidacy for the presidency." The document, says the activist, is necessary because of a "calculated effort" by the Romney campaign to "revise his history and portray [him] as far more conservative than the record shows." And that record, writes Camenker, "indicates that [Romney] has spend his entire career speaking and governing as a liberal."

    Camenker says he does not see how a conservative group or publication could take Romney seriously.

    "It really shocked me how gullible a lot of these conservatives around the country have been," he says, "and part of it has been because of Romney's very impressive PR campaign into which I guess he's pumped quite a lot of money -- probably millions of dollars -- and the fact that a lot of people just didn't see what we saw here in Massachusetts."

    According to the Mass Resistance spokesman, homosexual newspapers have praised Romney quite a bit over the years. In addition he notes that the Log Cabin Republicans, a pro-homosexual group within the GOP, endorsed the governor in both elections while he ran as a liberal.

    Romney's office did not return calls requesting an interview with the governor.

    LOOK...
    I am not for abortion..and would never aid or abet anyone to get an abortion but ...
    The Supreme Court ruled that it was not something the government could regulate or enforce..It was a moral issue
    The Court expected that the moral fiber of America..Mother Love would prevail and abortion would be an aberration..
    However abortion..being legal ..has become "moral" and acceptable..
    So I supported Roe v Wade in the beginning and then changed my mind..
    Many people have changed ..many because they resent and regret being pressured into aborting children...while they were too young or too uninformed to know better..and many more because it is not and never will be moral..and if not enforcable..at least it can be illegal so a person will take more care and thought about getting an abortion..
    So this isn't going anywhere..
    Romney may be for plural marriage..and gay unions would open the door to that..but I am not going to worry about it
    Some flip flopping on serious moral issues ..especially when young..is a sign of thoughtful analysis..
    I am not defending this.. he has a bad record on abortion, guns and marriage..but McCain has a bad record on the same issues..
    Fred Thompson has a good record on this..

    We all have candidates for president that we'd prefer. In case the one you back doesn't make it, or doesn't turn out to be what you're hoping for, don't forget the importance of the people we'll be sending to Congress, or back to Congress, in '08.

    If a Democrat becomes president, sending some solid conservatives to Congress, will be crucial.
