Mitt Romney says his health care plan in Mass. was a win for women

Romney said that as Massachusetts governor, he had helped women by guaranteeing coverage for them — and men as well — by enacting that state's health care coverage legislation. Romney has pledged that as president he would repeal Obama's health care overhaul law — which is similar to the Massachusetts statute — but Romney said he was proud of that accomplishment.

Sorry, Mitt, but no matter how hard you try, you are not going to be the candidate of women's rights in this election. And as for bragging about Romneycare while promising to repeal Obamacare, it's just so perfectly hypocritical, which makes it so perfectly Romney, doesn't it?

is apparently not good enough/ok for women in the other 49 states- according to Romney's tortured logic.

trying to pass himself off as a champion for women is a colossal joke.

There were ads by the Kennedy (Ted) campaign for Senate in Massachussets when Romney was running against him. The ads bear a striking resemblance to today. Bain Capital and flip-flopping. Kennedy referred to him as "Multiple Choice Mitt". People couldn't trust him then, so should they have reason to trust him now?

I don't trust Mitt Romney on ANYTHING whether it's tax reform, Medicare, Medicaid, Welfare, Education, Women rights, etc. You name it, what he talks about at breakfast may be different by dinner time. His staff can't be blamed on gaffs, they just can't keep up with him constantly changing his position depending on who he is speaking to.

How do you change your "core" position from moderate (Republican) and go to the far extreme right? All I can surmise, is that he must not really have any core values except to be Multiple Choice Mitt.
