    Ok, so I don't have a problem with someone changing their mind on certain issues when they learn more. But this guy is unreal. If anyone watches Boardwalk Empire, there is a scene in season 2 where Nucky Thompson is speaking to a group of people saying one thing. Then cut to him speaking to another group, he is saying the exact opposite. That is Mitt Romney, and he just thinks no one knows. This dude is a foul piece of shit, and although I do not approve of the first term of President Obama, he is CLEARLY the lesser of 2 weevils.

    The people who voted for the black guy don't need to validate voting for him again. They are going to again in spite of how terrible he is

    Let me know when someone flip flops theitvactual vote. People justifying theirs is all everyone does but no one changes their thinking objectively.

    The economy matters. Nothing else is a close 2nd. Romney is terrible as well but better for the economy clearly.

    While I am not defending Mitt,

    Name one guy who has never done this?

    Can you?


    I mean, there are just as many examples of Obama doing this as there is Mitt.

    I will speak to the health care, Mitt was on RECORD of saying he supports the health care reform at the STATE LEVEL....

    To sum up: "My guy does this, but the other guy does it a little more (I think) - so he is the worst."

    thats pretty much every political discussion ever. no one is here to actually learn anything or evolve their opinion.

    not all flipflops are created equal. there are good reasons to do it--like new information or perhaps significant event. but most of them seem to be for bad reasons---to get elected.

    seems like mitt's are the latter. some even occur during a campaign run and is a 180 from one day to the next.

    but mitt's flipflops make him more palatable because i know he is really fiscally conservative and socially liberal. he wont put in scalia on the scotus. and mitt will work with dems.

    im more concerned with keeping the senate with the dems.
