Romney Versus McCainHere's
a good article on Mitt's attempts to spar with John, who mostly seems to be ignoring him. As usual, it notes Romney's attempts to remake himself into a conservative of the Ronald Reagan mold:
Last month, Romney accused McCain of being "disingenuous" for opposing gay marriage but not supporting a federal constitutional amendment to ban it.
"Look, if somebody says they're in favor of gay marriage, I respect that view," Romney said in an interview with the Washington Examiner. "If someone says like I do that I oppose same-sex marriage, I respect that view. But those who try and pretend to have it both ways, I find it to be disingenuous."
However, Romney, when he ran against Senator Edward M. Kennedy in 1994, held the same position McCain does now: that it should be up to states, not the federal government, to decide whether to outlaw same-sex marriage.
