You Can Never Meet The Same Mitt Romney Twice?!!

[/SIZE][/SIZE]To a skeptic, the most remarkable aspect of Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign has been
how so flexible a politician can represent so dogmatic a party. Contemporary Republicanism is
ideological to its core. Everybody who watched the GOP primary debates between Mitt and the
Seven Dwarfs (or were there nine? I forget) understands that there’s a black-and-white party
line on almost every imaginable topic from tax policy to global warming.
Romney, on the other hand, appears to have no firm convictions at all. How anybody purports
to know what he actually thinks about any issue other than the size of his own offshore bank
accounts beggars my poor imagination. That most Republicans have temporarily persuaded
themselves to trust him reflects mainly their fear and loathing of President Obama.
Equally remarkable, however, is the way the Obama campaign has let Romney get away with it.
How can his evasiveness not be an issue? For that matter, how can it not be THE issue? Early on,
a strategic decision was apparently made to depict the GOP candidate as the “severely conservative”
politician he affected to be during the Republican primaries.
Well, it ain’t working.

Well, that's just too fucking bad, ain't it? Seems you're out of time for a new strategy!
