Romney revises paperback version of book to take harder line on stimulus, ObamaCare?

Without having compared the hardcover to the paperback myself, I’m duty-bound to add a question mark to the headline. But his spokesman is quoted in the piece and didn’t push back hard against the allegation, so I assume it’s a fair cop.

On what planet does he gain more by doing this than he loses?

In the original hardcover, Romney tried to carefully distinguish between the Massachusetts [health-care] law and the national version that was nearing passage as he wrote.

But the Massachusetts model has become Romney’s bête noire among conservatives, who loathe the national reform they call “Obamacare.” The rewritten paperback swings much harder, proclaiming that “Obamacare will not work and should be repealed,” and “Obamacare is an unconstitutional federal incursion into the rights of states.”

Asked about the changes, Eric Fehrnstrom, spokesperson for Romney’s Free and Strong America PAC, responded by e-mail: “The book was originally written in the months immediately following President Obama’s inauguration. A lot has occurred over the last two years, and these updates reflect those happenings.

That’s true. Of course, it’s also true of many other topics in No Apology, virtually all of which is reproduced exactly from the hardcover.

Follow the link up top to see how he tweaked the stimulus section as well

For books, it’s ‘flip-flapping’. Regualar every day stuff is ‘flip-flopping’. Which makes Mitt a flip-flopping flapperists.

They call him Mitten, Mittens, faster than lightning,
No-one you see, is smarter than he,
And we know Mittens, lives in a world full of wonder,
Flipping there-always, always you see!

Mitt Romney: "I'm not running as the Republican view or a continuation of Republican values.
That's not what brings me to the race.

(Romney Video, accessed 9/19/07)



"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party
 over to the traitors in the battle just ended.
We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged
 to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support.
Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates
wouldn’t make any sense at all.""

--  President Ronald Reagan

Gosh ... I found Rome's rant pretty cathartic. I agree with him 100 percent.

Romney is bad news for the GOP and for America. He needs to be STOPPED.

I think Mitt will get a lot of votes from Dems in open primary states.
That will be their version of Operation Chaos.

A Romney nomination and a Tea Party challenger are Baraq’s best hope for being re-elected with a Clintonian plurality.
