To the Editor:
Shall we trust that Mitt Romney will betray his campaign stances on Israel and Planned Parenthood? What is an election for if not to choose a candidate whose positions on the issues of today foretell her/his responses to challenges yet unforeseen as we go to the polls? Now is the time for American voters to choose, and to know whom it is we're choosing. Is it e.g. the Mitt Romney who promised to defend a woman's right to choose? Is it the Mitt Romney who is severely pro-life? Centrism should not mean a facility with lies. Americans want a candidate who believes something. We just don't want a candidate whose beliefs are extreme--and we each reserve the right to define what is "extreme".
