So there goes Willard Mitt Romney, still riding his Rocky Mountain sugar high, and he injects abortion back into the national political conversation.
We cats realize that Willard is racing to the center, trying to convince Americans that as President, he wouldn't be held captive by the crazy right-wing base of the Republican Party. Which is why he told the Des Moines Register, "There is no legislation with regards to abortion that I'm familiar with that would become part of my agenda."
A pretty weaselly answer — and more proof that, goodness gracious, you never know which Willard you're dealing with, do you? Isn't this the guy who assured Fat Mike Huckabee that he supported "personhood" amendments? So how could he not take action against abortion rights if he were elected? As teabagger Congressman Raul Labrador recently pointed out, "If Romney comes in here [to Washington] and feels like he has to capitulate and govern from the middle of the road, not only will be it disheartening: I predict that you will see the conservatives in the House rise up."
We'll have to see how this plays out. But we cats quickly beamed into our nutty friends at Free Republic to check on their response to this latest Willard news. This comment just about sums it up:
"Imagine, we’re totally on a roll, and all of a sudden abortion again raises its ugly head, ready to sink our ship. Hopefully this doesn’t become a side show...If the women folk really felt that abortion rights were in jeopardy, they’d vote for a straight-out socialist if that’s what it took. That’s why we could never win on this issue."
"Women folk"? Hm. We cats have a dirty litter box that this Freeper guy can step in. Barefoot.
