Is Mitt Romney Conservative Enough? -continued
January 11th, 2007 by eric
Who’s the conservative Presidential candidate for 2008? Of course we all know that Senator John McCain is really a moderate Democrat that just thinks that he’s Republican. Surely he won’t get much of the conservative Republican vote. Meanwhile, Rudy Giuliani, who supports gay rights, abortion, and gun control hasn’t attracted many conservative voters either. Did Mitt Romney tailor his views to try and fill this void on the right, believing that he could position himself as the conservative candidate? In the wake of recent articles that suggest that Romney did a “flip-flop” on gay rights and abortion, conservative Republicans are left wondering if he is genuine.
I believe that Mitt Romney has always held on to his conservative core. He has been consistant with his values. Let me end with a quote from David French.
No American governor has faced more critical cultural issues than Mitt Romney, Massachusetts’ chief executive from 2003 to 2007. In the midst of Governor Romney’s efforts to rescue his state from a fiscal crisis and create lasting and innovative health care solutions, activist judges and a far-left legislature forced issues of same-sex “marriage,†abortion, religious liberty, stem cell research, and gay rights into the forefront. Each time he was challenged, the Governor not only made the conservative choice, but also did so with an optimistic, unifying message. In doing so, he became a national leader on these vital cultural issues without squandering his ability to govern the Commonwealth. –evangelicalsformitt.com
