Always refreshing to read an articulate comeback to a political cartoon. Seriously, Tigger, “1000%” is an oxymoron. The biggest problem, for me, with Romney is his unpleasant tendency to give very different speeches to different audiences, so that it’s difficult to decide exactly what he stands for, and when he stands for it. He might be a moderate posing as a conservative, a conservative posing as a moderate posing as a conservative, or just another idiot Republican who doesn’t believe in science, mathematics, or the predictions and advice of learned scholars.
Simply put: The GOP is mocking the intelligence of America: Mitt and Ryan are their tools. (Okay, Issa, Braun, Peter King, , Inhofe, Conrad, Hastings, Boehner, Cantor, McConnell and a couple dozen others are fighting for bragging rights on distortion and/or stupid.)
Romney has no courage to stand up to the most extreme elements of the GOP. And we all know how dangerous they are. They will take us back 100 years in social policy.
“All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you name it. That that’s an entitlement. And the government should give it to them.
And so my job is not to worry about those people. I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives."-“It’s not elegantly stated, let me put it that way. I was speaking off the cuff in response to a question. And I’m sure I could state it more clearly in a more effective way than I did in a setting like that.”-“In this case, I said something that’s just completely wrong.”-I guess this is not an example of a flip-flop. Also an example of ‘If a Republican does it, it’s okay.’

Not a flipper, or even a top, MItt is a high speed centrifuge on “policy”.

So O just became “enlightened” when he suddenly changed his position on homosexual marriage or was that political flip-flopping?

HO, look who’s talking, Tig! One minute YOU’RE calling Obama Bush v2.1,…and the next you’re calling him a socialist.

Maybe one of the Willard supporters can identify one or two positions that their candidate is firm on.
