See Mitt Romney flip-flop

His convenient and implausibly explained reversals on issues say all we need to know about his character. He will do or say anything to become president.

We're all for transparency these days, and if anything is transparently clear about American politics, it is that Mitt Romney will do or say anything to become president. The best guess is that at heart he is an old-fashioned moderate, business-oriented Republican (just about the last one standing). But there's no knowing for sure. He may have no sincere beliefs at all.

There was a piece about Romney on the front page of the New York Times on Sunday, and what amazes me is the deadpan frankness with which the article exposed him as a phony, and then went on to discuss what Romney might do to solve this problem.

He was criticized last time for being a stiff, so this time he is not wearing a tie. Ever. Even on occasions when every other male is wearing one. Problem solved, as Romney sees it.

"To Quiet Critics," says the Times headline, "Romney Puts '12 Focus on Jobs." In other words, change the subject! "I like President Obama," Romney told the Times patronizingly, "but he doesn't have a clue how jobs are created." Did Romney have a clue in '08 but lost it? One little difficulty with Romney's new emphasis on his expertise — and Obama's lack thereof — about job creation is that Romney doesn't actually say what he would do differently to create more jobs. He just repeats that "I spent my career in the private sector. I know how jobs are created." The nearest he comes to getting specific is to say that in the business world, "the three rules of every successful turnaround" are "focus, focus, focus."

I think back to the 2008 IOWA Republican Debate. The question, “Show of Hands - if you think Climate Change is a serious problem and is caused by man”

Mitt Romney's hand shot straight up without any delay. Then When Fred Thompson said “I'm not playing hand games” Mitt lowered his hand and you can hear him say “I'm with him”. Shows how much of a non-leader Mitt really is, and how he has been dupped by the Global Warming scare.

Backstabber in Chief Milt Romney is the DNC’s wet dream.

Romney NEGATES RomneyCARE, TARP, and being ineligible.
Well, done by the Romney, who even walked with MLK.
