Romney not crazy enough for some on the right



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Oh dear, Mitt. Are we going to see another position change to reach out to the extremists who dominate the primaries?

In the heated debate among conservatives over whether Mitt Romney deserves their vote, the focus has been largely on whether his big swings to the right on social issues are sincere.

But on the charged issue of stem cell research, he's facing conservative criticism of a different shade: that he hasn't swung far enough.

Unlike many on the right, Romney supports research on excess embryos created during fertility treatments. Because couples are making embryos to have a baby, he reasons, it is ethical to use the leftovers for research when they would otherwise just be discarded.
I'm smelling another position update.
