OMG. Typical Republican spin!

Watching a special on Mitt Romney on CNN. They talk about him being anti-abortion, but running as pro-Choice for MA Governor. Then, when it's time to sign a State bill for Stem Cell Research, he vetoes it.

The Republican shill they're interviewing says "I wouldn't call it a flip-flop, it was a matter of the personal vs. public persona".

I can't believe these people.

I can't see how anyone who watched this show would consider voting for Romney. You simply don't know what you're getting!
