AZ for Mitt

A blog dedicated to informing Arizonans about Mitt Romney and the campaign for the 2008 presidential nomination.

Thursday, January 11, 2007

For any Arizona conservatives who are disenchanted with McCain, but think that Romney's decade long evolution of becoming a true conservative is merely a case of flip-flopping for political gain, you might be interested to note that Kansas Senator Sam Brownback, who is trying to position himself as the best conservative choice for the GOP, changed his position on Iraq in less than one month!

Not even Hillary or Kerry changed their minds that quickly.

The following is an excerpt from a December 16th article in the Kansas City Star:

The military should get additional, temporary troops in Baghdad if it asks for them, Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback said Friday.

Then here is his official statement yesterday from his website:

U.S. Senator Sam Brownback today commented on President Bush’s proposal to increase the number of troops deployed to Iraq.

“I do not believe that sending more troops to Iraq is the answer,” said Brownback.

Sen. Brownback, who himself, like Reagan and Romney, has changed his stance on abortion to now be fully pro-life privately and publically (Romney was always privately pro-life), seems to have as much flip-flopping ability as the best of them.

I grant anyone the right to change their mind, as long as they accord others the same right, which Brownback has seemingly hypocritically been unwilling to do with the other GOP candidates, namely Romney. You can't have it both ways Sam.
