Adviser says governor faked stance on abortion

[YankeyMCC]

''He's been a pro-life Mormon faking it as a pro-choice friendly," Romney adviser Michael Murphy told the National Review in a cover story hitting newstands today titled ''Matinee Mitt."

This seems like such a stupid blunder, why would NR print this quote? This should essentially kill his aspirations not just here but nationally. Or maybe I'm being to optomistic to think that even anti-abortionists will see this as a sign the guy can't be trusted by either side of the issue and he's just burning his bridges here in Mass.

1. Didn't you get the memo, we don't count only Fundies do.

2. He doesn't want to run for reelection in MA

I don't think he could get reelected in MA at this point anyway. He's got his eyes on DC, the White House specifically.

3. Indeed. Mittens has been trying to pass himself off as everything . . .

Indeed. Mittens has been trying to pass himself off as everything . . . to everybody. Mittens has been doing this since he sent out a *trial balloon* running as Governor of Utah or of Massachusetts. Impossible. Utah is a Mormon state where co-mingling of religion and state is accepted; however, Massachusetts respects the Separation of Church and State.

Romney cannot separate his religious beliefs from stem cell research.
Romney cannot separate his religious beliefs from a woman's constitutional right to autonomy/abortion/privacy issues.
Romney cannot separate his religious beliefs from Right to Die with Dignity (Terri Schiavo issues).
Romney cannot separate his religious beliefs from equal rights of homosexuals as to civil marriage.

None of this is new. None of it.

All that, plus not knowing where the hell Mittens lives, officially! Does Romney "reside" in Utah? or Massachusetts? What an *ss. Totally.
