I guess that puts a hole in your theory that the GOP would do anything different than what Obama is doing right now. LOL. I never made such a theory. How do you come up with these conclusions? The real news in Mitt Romney’s interview with Mark Halperin, as Charles Pierce points out, is that Romney openly repudiated the central argument his party has been making against President Obama for the last three years: that he spent too much money and therefore deepened the economic crisis. Indeed Romney himself had been making this very case as recently as a week ago (“he bailed out the public sector, gave billions of dollars to the companies of his friends, and added almost as much debt as all the prior presidents combined. The consequence is that we are enduring the most tepid recovery in modern history.”) But in his Halperin interview, Romney frankly admits that reducing the budget deficit in the midst of an economic crisis would be a horrible idea: Romney is everyman..............he says one thing to one group and something quite contrary to another. Right now, he is quickly tacking back to the center. Its why he's been coined a flip flopper. And btw, the Rs screams for austerity are not getting great reception from many Americans particularly when they combine those screams with calls for increased defense spending and maintaining the Bush tax cuts. Even Americans see thru the deception.
