(It’s not going to end well, folks – promoted by Colorado Pols)
Denver talk show host Bob Enyart has said Mitt Romney is lying to the GOP base when he says he’s a “pro-family, pro-life” conservative, and Enyart launched a national campaign to spread to spread the word.
Enyart has also been a tireless supporter of Colorado’s “personhood amendments,” which would have codified Enyart’s belief that life begins at conception.
So, now that Romney is on the record saying he “absolutely” believes, like Enyart, that life begins at conception (and Romney would sign a Constitutional Amendment to make it law) has Enyart’s view of Romney changed?
“Romney needs the Republican base and so he is happy to lie to them for their votes,” Enyart emailed me. “But of course, slavery ended here and elsewhere in the world even though many who eventually supported emancipation in reality hated the slaves themselves. Similarly with child killing, the goal is to make open support of abortion unthinkable, regardless of the hardness of one’s heart.”
With the vote on Personhood taking place today in Mississippi, reporters should find some way, somehow to ask Romney what he thinks about Personhood supporters like Enyart, who has national standing on this issue, who say he’s lying. Or, for that matter, what Romney thinks of Democrats who say his support of Personhood makes him unelectable.
Enyart is the only media figure in Colorado who’s been tracking the Mississippi Personhood vote closely.
On a Nov. broadcast, Enyart interviewed his wife, Cheryl Enyart, who’s on the ground in Mississippi, along with Colorado Right to Life Vice President Leslie Hanks, fighting for passage of the Personhood, called Amendment 26, there.
Bob Enyart asked his wife to compare the response she’s getting in Mississippi to the response from Colorado.
“It’s overwhelmingly positive, whereas in Colorado we didn’t get as much positive response,” Cheryl Enyart replied.
In Colorado, her husband joked, “The most common response is migrating birds, whatever that is.”
“Out here, it seems like some doctors really are supporting the amendment, whereas we didn’t receive that kind of support back in Colorado.”
“Of course, there were some in the medical community that were pro-personhood,” Bob said, “but it seems basically a different culture there [in Mississippi]. And we can thank God for that.”
You’d expect campaign workers like Enyart’s wife to be optimistic, but whether Personhood wins or loses in Mississippi, today and tomorrow would both be good days to see more in the media on Romney’s thoughts on personhood.

Here is one person who will proudly stand up and say he is pro-choice till the day he dies. And guess what Bob, I go to chruch every week and serve in many capacities at my church. I know it’s wasted breath Bob, but get out of your bubble and see what’s happening in the real world.
PS. Don’t bother to start another file on me, you already have one. If you look, I’m sure that you’ll be shocked to learn that I used to be the Republican Chair and Vice Chair for Jefferson County.
I think Romney will ditch personhood one week after he wins the nom. It took Ken Buck several weeks. It won’t take Romney as long.
“I support the right of each state to make this determination.”
It’s the economy, stupid.
Please let your partisan smear merchant side hang out!
Tell me you can’t be for this nonsense or tell me that women who have abortions and doctors who perform them need to be put to death? You’ve only got two choices. So tell us which one? You don’t get to be logically inconsistent with me. Which one? And just so you know, which ever one it is, I’m going to rip you a new one.

Sorry to all you ultra-conservative types out there, but apparently not even in Mississippi does the Eggmendment pass muster with a majority of voters. Time to pack it in.
Measure fails 42-58.
If they can’t pass this bill there, they can’t get it passed anywhere! There’s a reason is was attempted there first.
(And I believe in South Dakota, where they passed it legislatively only to have it overturned via initiative… – could be wrong on that one.)
