“Mitt the Manipulator” is caught in a vortex of his own making.

Wish Obama would talk about the centrifuge/stux nut virus we used on Iran to great effect. Yes it started under Bush, but he kept it going, and it’s been effective. Unfortunately there are some who think every step our government takes should be discussed in public. He should also ask Romney if he agrees with Congressman Issa releasing a report which leaks the names of Libyans that are co-operating with US.

i keep hearing that more and more undecided voters like Mitt’s position. I finally figured it out. Mitt’s position = undecided.

Mittens, the human weathervane! Whichever way the political winds are blowing that particular moment, that’s the way he will be facing!

You guys are missing the point. Mitt Romney has two opinions that have been rock-solid his entire career: (1) to make money for himself at no risk (read about his career at Bain) and (2) to pay no taxes whatsoever (which Ryan’s plan would just about accomplish). As long as he gets that, he doesn’t care about anything else.
Oh, and that he wants to be president. We knew that here in Massachusetts a long time ago. There’s a reason why Romney isn’t bragging about his support in Massachusetts: we’ve already experienced him, and as a result he’s going to get hammered here.

It’s nice to see an idiotic cartoonist and then commentators who don’t realize how bad of shape this nation is now and that Mitt can re-evaluate a situation before making a decision. I would hope he would change his mind a few times. It shows leadership and the ability to realize a certain path may be wrong. Unlike obama who says the same thing over and over and doesn’t realize it’s not the right path for this country. I guess there are a few socialists who comment on here who can’t read or realize that socialism doesn’t work! Yeah, that’s it…let’s tax and spend and not cut programs and be like Greece & other broke European countries!

Yeah, you tell him. After all, Toles is only a Pultizer-Prize winning, nationally syndicated cartoonist, and you’re…you’re…
I’m sorry, what is it that makes you so much smarter than him and everyone else here, again?

Your argument reads as a toddler’s “I know you are but what am I?”

Let’s start the cutting by halving the military budget. If their job was to protect our country, not the world, we could have an efficient force capable of deterring efforts to attack us. Meanwhile the budget gets balanced and we rebuild our infrastructure.
