hat tip to Kosovian Bob Love
My headline is a paraphrase for the sake of brevity , so here’s the actual context and link..
Judith Dushku is a Mormon feminist and FORMER friend of Romney as well as a member of the same Mormon congregation in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Judy Dushku: Then in 1994, when Romney was running for the Senate, he came out in favor of choice for women — which was surprising to me. I was pleased and called, asking to see him. I told him I suspected that we had our differences, but that maybe I could work with him if he’d come to a really good position on women and childbirth.
And he said – Yes, come to my office.
I went to his office and I congratulated him on taking a pro-choice position. And his response was – Well they told me in Salt Lake City I could take this position, and in fact I probably had to in order to win in a liberal state like Massachusetts.
Suzan Mazur: Who’s “THEY”?
Good question! Bad answer.
Judy Dushku: I asked him the same question. And he said “the Brethren” in Salt Lake City.And I said, Mitt, it doesn’t make me happy to hear that. What you’re suggesting is that you’re not genuinely pro-choice. It’s a position of convenience.
He said – Oh no, I actually had an aunt who died of a botched abortion. So I have some positive feelings about choice, but basically I know that I have to take that position.
Translation:
“I know (and The Brethren know) I have to take this position to put a Mormon into a powerful political office in a Liberal state.
Another Romney quote you will no doubt enjoy..
“I’m happy to learn that after I speak you’re going to hear from Ann Coulter. That’s a good thing.
Watch this Mother of All Flip Flop videos.

2007 Pro Life campaigning to be the next wingnut-in-chief.
Coulter: “He [Romney] is probably our best candidate. Romney tricked liberals into voting for him. I like a guy who hoodwinks liberals so easily.”
Is it OK to lie to the American People?
Maybe “they” said it was Okay.

This dude frightens me. He is a perfect nothingness in pursuit of power for some reason. What is the reason?
coulter thingy
😉
He has no use for women other than as props. And he’s a
weasel too. Four years of him as Gov. was four years too
many. Yuk! Look forward to seeing him go down in flames.
(And when I calm down I’ll tell you what I really think) 😉
Look into that, and you can sink Huckster’s showboat.
