Here is the body of an e-mail I sent to one of the writers at
EVANGELICALS FOR MITT (Romney)
J.D.B. AKA KNIGHT OF THE OLD REPUBLIC
________________________________________________________________________________________
Dear, Mr. ********
I wanted to pin a response to something you said. The simple
fact of the matter is that the evidence Governor Romney is beholden to
concerning his flip-flop on abortion shouldn’t be an issue. If Governor Romney
believed in the right to life then, he as a principled man should have stood by
that regardless the consequences. The Governor himself and his supporters would
have fewer questions to answer about his stand on abortion now had he practiced
consistency through out his run and subsequent tenure as Governor, and now as a
presidential candidate. I think that these concerns from people who have
withstood the Romney campaign wave are legitimate. He clearly has stated he was
a proponent of a woman’s right to choose, and in a manner of a few years, has
completely reversed himself. Again, I reiterate that I'm not questioning
Governor Romney's heart; I’m simply questioning him based on what I know to be
true.
Please show me the error of my ways. Show me how my logical
conclusion of political expediency (either then or now) is wrong concerning the
governors change heart. Show how it is right to compromise ones alleged beliefs
in the name of politics (either then or now.) I have no hatred for the governor;
I wouldn’t be a Christian if I did. But I’m just looking for answers that I
have yet to find. His Mormonism aside (and that is another grave concern of
mine) He would be a reasonably good candidate, and had I not already made my
mind up, I think I would might consider him, if only it weren’t for the
questions concerning his consistency on
this particular conservative principle that is of the utmost importance.
