Republicans Standing Tall

Notes made early in October:

Sometimes Republicans stand tall:

Rick Perry when he provides in-state college tuition for children who are illegal immigrants because brought here by their parents, and then speaks in eloquent defense of the need for this action.

Jon Hunstman when he supports science, as in evolution and climate change.

Ron Paul when he rails against the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Mitt Romney when he provided universal health care for Massachusetts residents.  [At the time he supported it as a model for a national program, but now says not, and says he would repeal Obamacare.]
Herman Cain when he was asked about abortion on Meet the Press:  It’s not the role of government to get in the way of anybody’s decision, it ultimately comes down to the decision of the family and the woman, “it is not up to me as president, nor some politician, nor a bureaucrat.”  [But now he says he is prolife at conception, would not allow any bureaucrats to get in the way of the life of the unborn, and that if they give him a bill to defund planned parenthood, he will sign it.  He would also sign a constitutional amendment banning abortion (Note: presidents don’t sign amendments.)
Rick Santorum ???
Michele Bachman ???
Newt Gingrich ???
Chris Christie when he appoints a Muslim to the court system and then defends his appointment and the man’s qualifications.   Then he stands even taller than he is wide.  As well, he supports immigrants, science of climate change, gun control, hmmm, something else.  Which may be enough to take him out of the running for Republican candidate for governor.
