It’s not just Democrats who are attacking Mitt Romney’s support over the Blunt Amendment, which is being voted on Thursday in the Senate. Romney told an Ohio reporter he was against the bill, then said the question had been confusing and his campaign clarified that he supported it, prompting a Santorum spokesman to write: “We all know Romney’s liberal record on this, so when he’s asked a question about a bill that would protect our religious freedom – and Romney’s gut reaction is to say he’d oppose it…” He also reaffirmed Santorum’s support of the measure: “Rick Santorum was asked the same question, but he wasn’t confused because Rick Santorum has consistently supported religious freedoms.” Rick Tyler, spokesman for the Red White & Blue Fund tweeted: “Par for the course – Romney Says He Opposed Blunt Contraception Bill, Then Campaign Backtracks.”
