I just don’t believe this guy:

Before: Federalism After: No Federalism

No shame. Or integrity. Sam Brownback beats Mitt Romney up on abortion, so Romney flip-flops again. ABC has the full story. But here’s what Romney told Marc Ambinder back in February:

What I’ve indicated is that I am pro-life, and that my hope is that the Supreme Court will give to the states over time or give to the states soon or give to the states their own ability to make their own decisions with regard to their own abortion law.

Yeah. He has lied to the press on a number of occasions about his opponents’ positions. His staff does it all the time too.

[…] … Romney now claims to support the human life amendment language in the Republican Platform. He declined to support the human life amendment in an interview with Marc Ambinder not so long ago; and he now supports the one-size-fits-all approach to abortion he disavowed as recently as last week.
