Republican presidential candidate Mitt "Multiple Choice" Romney has changed his positions on key political issues such as health care, abortion and gay rights—most recently shifting onm climate change twice in the same week.
But the former Massachusetts governor tells the Nashua Telegraph that his positions have remained "consistent" ... everyone else is changing the goal post.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney says he hasn’t changed in the years since he lost the 2008 New Hampshire primary. Instead, he said ... that it’s the political conversation that has shifted. ... Asked about the accusations of flip-flops, Romney said he has stayed consistent on the issue of same-sex marriage. "I don’t believe in discriminating in employment or opportunity for gay individuals. So I favor gay rights. I do not favor gay marriage," he said.
Does Romney's vague support of "gay rights" include the Employment Non-Discrimination Act? Promises, promises ...
After supporting gay rights for many years, Romney re-invented himself as the "best" candidate to "stop the militant gay agenda" in the 2008 election. Romney said that even a dead parent was better than a gay one in a now-infamous 2007 campaign speech.
The Granite State passed its marriage equality law in June 2009. The newish Republican legislative majority has made good on their campaign promise to target the state's marriage equality law. The New Hampshire will begin debating repealing in 2012. Romney supports the repeal.
