Mitt Romney is a good man. But there are many differences between us on the issues. I am for a three state political solution in Iraq. He is not. I am pro-life. He is not. I am opposed to gun control. He has not been. I am for a flat tax. He is not
Recall that Romney had actually taken out an ad in 1996 against Forbes’ flat tax proposal.

Romney isn’t opposed to the flat tax, it’s just not his plan. Get your facts straight.

Romney opposed it in 1996. He even took out ads in the New Hampshire and Iowa papers:
