"We have tough gun laws in Massachusetts; I support them." - Willard Romney in 2002.
"I will preserve and protect a woman's right to choose and am devoted and dedicated to honoring my word in that regard." - Willard Romney in 2004.
"I proposed that everyone must either purchase a product of their choice or demonstrate that they can pay for their own health care. It's a personal responsibility principle. ... It applies to people who are excessively using the free-care pool, and some incentive to avoid that is appropriate. But it's not a tax." - Willard Romney in 2006.
"Let Detroit Go Bankrupt." - Willard Romney in 2008.
"There was a fear that the whole economic system of America would collapse -- that all of our banks, or virtually all, would go out of business. In that circumstance, President Bush and Hank Paulson said we've got to do something to show we're not going to let the whole system go out of business. I think they were right to do that." - Willard Romney in 2010.

Romney's full name. Oddly enough, he didn't like being called Willard, and chose to go by his middle name instead.
His father, George Romney, named him after hotel magnate J Willard Marriott and his uncle Milton Romney (nicknamed Mitt).
