Mr Romney did indeed endorse Murdock. Murdocks comments were unethical and flat out wrong. But Romney has also distanced himself from him knowing it will hurt him in the election. That being said he can't change the abortion law even if he wanted to, a supreme court justice has to die or retire.

As for the 47 percent remark that's open to interpretation. You may think he meant something cruel but I'm not sure that's entirely the case. People want to make him out as some sort of monster when they won't see another point of view. I am not a republican or a democrat so I try to see something from both sides and make a judgement. I personally don't think Romney meant to cast out half of America as freeloaders. It doesn't make sense. A man who's trying to be president of the united states. Romney is not perfect but I certainly don't think of him as an idiot. That's not fair to make that assessment
