Ahh, so now we're attacking Mitt for not being progressive enough. Do we forget he's a Republican? I applaud this move, and I think what muon2 said about not seeing things in just black and white is a good sign that Romney will be a competent president.
This stupid argument is still kicking around this place? Romney holds contradictory and flip-floppy positions on all sorts of things, so this means he's some sort of technocratic moderate who sees things in nuanced and enlightened ways? Get real. I cannot believe that smart people would actually think something that just sounds like denial. He's being attacked in this thread because it's a completely contradictory position to hold.
There is no amount of spin and moderate hero wishing that can turn "I don't support gay marriage because the traditional family setting is that of the mother and father, but gay adoption is totally fine" into the wise words of some sort enlightened philosopher that only sees a world of grey. They're just the conflicting words of a man with literally
no principles.
And while we're at it, how about making holding the
right position the honorable and enlightened thing to do, in all things? Instead of just immediately trying to split the difference?
