FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Deviating from a script that usually focuses on the economy, Mr Romney waded
into social issues and touted his record of fighting against same-sex
marriage in Massachusetts.
After the state’s supreme court declared that its gay citizens had a right to
marry, Mr Romney passed legislation banning out-of-state couples from taking
advantage of the ruling. “On my watch, we fought hard and prevented
Massachusetts from becoming the Las Vegas of gay marriage,” he said.
Mr Romney’s opponents have gleefully attacked his record on abortion, citing
his pro-choice positions during a 1994 run for Senate and did little to
fight terminations while governor.
Today, he sought to defend his record by saying he did as much as he could
while working with a Democrat-controlled state legislature.
“I stood up to those who wanted to call into question the very definition of
life. I vetoed a bill that would have opened the door to cloning and embryo
farming. I vetoed a bill that would have allowed young girls to gain access
to abortion-inducing drugs,” he said.
He promised his would be a “pro-life presidency” and vowed to cut any any
government regulations that provided federal funding for abortion.
He also used him time as a governor to cast himself a Washington outsider,
drawing a contrast with Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum, who both served in
Congress.
“I am the only candidate in this race, Republican or Democrat, who has never
worked a day in Washington,” he said, while implying that his opponents had
fallen “under the spell” of the American capital.
In the course of his speech he did not address his health care reforms in
Massachusetts, which provided near-universal coverage and was one of the
inspirations for President Barack Obama’s own plans.
The speech was his first major address since suffering a triple defeat at the
hands of Rick Santorum in Minnesota, Colorado and Missouri earlier this week
– a blow that once again raised fears the party’s right would never fall
behind the former Massachusetts governor.
His address received an enthusiastic standing ovation but in the packed
hallways of the Washington hotel where Republicans gathered for the annual
Conservative Political Action Conference, there were few signs of grassroots
enthusiasm for Mr Romney.
While young volunteers handed out stickers for Mr Santorum and donned replicas
of his trademark sleeveless vest, support for Mr Romney seemed confined to
small group of suited, older men.
John Sublett, a Santorum-supporting activist, told the Daily Telegraph:
“My opinion of someone who gets elected in Massachusetts is that you have to
be somewhat liberal in the first place.
“You can’t have the same staunch conservative values as someone like Rick
Santorum and be governor of Massachusetts.”
Ann Coulter, the conservative polemicist, received scattered boos when she
commended Mr Romney as the only candidate who could defeat Mr Obama.
