Really, Mitt? Really?
Mitt Romney, who has touted his support of gun owners since launching his presidential campaign, yesterday acknowledged he did not become a member of the National Rifle Association until last August, campaign officials said.
A former advocate of gun control, Romney during his 1994 run for the US Senate backed measures the gun-rights group opposed, such as a five-day waiting period on gun sales and a ban on certain assault weapons.
A cynical opponent might use his flip-flopping as a way to subtly keep Romney’s religion into the campaign.
For example, negative ads pointing out Romney’s flip-flops closing with “What does Mitt Romney really believe in?”
Or a similar ad asking, “Is Mitt a REAL conservative?”
Keep asking, “Is he one of us?”
I’m sure his opponents can find cleverer language with the appropriate ‘dog whistle’ signals to question whether Romney is really a Christian without actually doing it so blatantly.
Not that I’d condone such tactics, but if his rightward opponents took such tactics, I would not be surprised.
To be fair, I think his position is gun owners should not be allowed to have abortions except when they do.
Jeez….Was he even a Republican before he started his run for President….
Keep asking, “Is he one of us?”
Do you mean human?
