Mitt Romney Has Memory Problems

Mitt Romney apparently has no recollection of where he’s been, what he’s done, or who he’s talked to before the year 2004. His self-styled Reagan comparisons may be more accurate than previously thought:

Mitt Romney attended a fund-raising reception for Planned Parenthood in 1994 in conjunction with a $150 donation his wife made to the organization — notwithstanding Romney’s contention that he had “no recollection” of the circumstances under which his wife gave money to the abortion-rights group.

In the photograph obtained by ABC News, Romney and his wife, Ann, are shown in a yellow-and-white tent chatting with local political activists, including Nicki Nichols Gamble, who was then president and CEO of the Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts.

His positions may have changed, but his perfectly coiffed hair has not. From later on in the piece:

“Like Ronald Reagan before him, the governor has changed his position on this issue and changed it in the right way,” Madden said. “Governor Romney does not regret, and won’t apologize for the fact, that he has become pro-life.”

[Then CEO of the Planned Parenthood] Nichols Gamble said she’s surprised Romney has no memory of the fund-raising event.

“I can understand that he might not remember the check — it’s surprising to me that he would not remember the event,” she said. “His main motivation for being there was a political motivation.”

It's almost 2008. How could anybody possibly still be pro-life?

many people are
many non-rednecks
many people who belive in such things as universal health care, ending poerty,fighting explotation, tearing down the corporate run order
many of them are uncomfterbal by the thought of dead babies

considering how much he's forgotten, maybe he'd fit right in in the white house, picking up where bush leaves off. after all, the bush administration doesn't seem to recall much of anything at all.
