I didn't remember. Very good thing you did there.

I really can't lay claim to that man. He was all our friends, really.

Thank you, I was happy to.

Sorry Mitt, I am off the bandwagon.
I'm sorry, Mike, but I'm going to have to ask you for some more substance.

Exactly what convinces you Romney is unprincipled?

That his views conveniently change in an expedient way. What would possess a Mormon family to donate to Planned Parenthood other than political expediency?

I don't know... but that seems like something you'd do. Or homeboy or hoya... maybe you all can enlighten me.

Not me. I'm anti-abortion. I don't think there is moral justification for it.

But that is just it- you would expect me or homeboy to donate to them based on what you think we believe about abortion. But you wouldn't EVER expect a Republican nominee to donate to them, particularly one who takes such a strong stance on abortion today.

Re your sig line, Tex, how does it make you feel what you've turned this place into?

It's bizarre. When we were discussing Giuliani's donation, I actually remarked to Soonercoug, "I guarantee you Romney's never donated to Planned Parenthood." oops.

Romney is correct in his assertion that he has the right to "change his mind." However, his mind changes are rather frequent, and suspiciously conveniently-timed.
