Romney's Character (A Willingness to Lie)

A person's character is shown when they are challenged. When they can't keep the face mask on, what person really comes out?

Many of us have questioned Romney's authenticity in his pro-life stances for several reasons:
  • He's flip flopped
  • In the time he claims to have been pro-choice only because the state was and he wanted to enforce the law, he was also going to and contributing to a pro-abortion organization, which now he claims he doesn't recall the donation his wife gave from their JOINT account?
  • His zeal is just as strong now as it was when he was supporting gay rights and pro-choice. If he had sounded disengenuous before and now he sounds sincere, that would be comforting. The problem is that he delivered his pro-gay pro-abortion message with an equal amount of passion, conviction and promises as he does when he delivers the exact opposite message now.
Now he has made clear his willingness to twist the truth, for political gain. Newsweek uncovers his deceptions in this article. This shows intentional deceptions, false news article quotes. It is pretty bad. So if Romney is comfortable giving false news article quotes in a TV ad, can we trust anything he says?

When he has stood firm against everything we believe, can we now believe he has repented when he STILL shows a willingness to lie?
