Romney's "Reverse-Macaca" Moment

Mitt Romney is a die-hard conservative. Right? Why don't we ask Mitt Romney himself... 12 years ago (when he was running against Ted Kennedy for the Senate). This video posted by Wonkette does just that:



...and reveals Romney to be, er, have been a die-hard supporter of... gay rights, affirmative action and abortion rights. As to the last, Romney helpfully adds, "you will not see me wavering on that."

Riiight.

Wonkette called this Romney's "reverse-Macaca moment."

(Thanks to Emma for the lead.)

FYI: For those of you not following the 2008 horse race that closely, Romney is the Republican governor of Massachusetts and a highly likely candidate for the presidency.
