He's too busy to do his own flip-flopping, so he has his aides do it for him:<\/p>\n

Mitt Romney said<\/a> Tuesday he has no plans to push for legislation limiting abortion, a softer stance from a candidate who has said he would \"get rid of\" funding for Planned Parenthood and appoint Supreme Court who would overturn Roe v. Wade.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no legislation with regards to abortion that I\u2019m familiar with that would become part of my agenda,\u201d the Republican presidential nominee told The Des Moines Register in an interview.<\/p>\n

The Romney campaign walked back the remark within two hours of the Register posting its story. Spokeswoman Andrea Saul told the National Review Online's Katrina Trinko that Romney \"would of course support legislation aimed at providing greater protections for life.\" <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And...<\/p>\n


\nAfter the first presidential<\/a> debate at the University of Denver in Colorado on Wednesday night, one of Mitt Romney\u2019s top advisers acknowledged that, as a result Romney\u2019s plan to repeal Obamacare, people with pre-existing medical conditions would likely be unable to purchase insurance.<\/p>\n

The admission directly contradicts the GOP candidate\u2019s claim during the debate that \u201cpre-existing conditions are covered under my plan\u201d \u2014 a contention Romney has repeated on the trail and that his campaign has repeatedly walked back.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith respect to pre-existing conditions, what Governor Romney has said is for those with continuous coverage, he would continue to make sure that they receive their coverage,\u201d said Eric Fehrnstrom, referring to existing laws which require insurance companies to sell coverage to people who already have insurance, or within 90 days of losing their employer coverage.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I don't know what people see in him, because I don't see anything <\/em>there - except his own personal ambition. It's a scary sight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
