August 25, 2012 Mysterious Mitt The Economist absolutely rips Mitt Romney. "All politicians flip-flop from time to time; but Mr Romney could win an Olympic medal in it (see article). And that is a pity, because this newspaper finds much to like in the history of this uncharismatic but dogged man, from his obvious business acumen to the way he worked across the political aisle as governor to get health reform passed and the state budget deficit down. We share many of his views about the excessive growth of regulation and of the state in general in America, and the effect that this has on investment, productivity and growth. After four years of soaring oratory and intermittent reforms, why not bring in a more businesslike figure who might start fixing the problems with America's finances?" "But competence is worthless without direction and, frankly, character. Would that Candidate Romney had indeed presented himself as a solid chief executive who got things done. Instead he has appeared as a fawning PR man, apparently willing to do or say just about anything to get elected. In some areas, notably social policy and foreign affairs, the result is that he is now committed to needlessly extreme or dangerous courses that he may not actually believe in but will find hard to drop; in others, especially to do with the economy, the lack of details means that some attractive-sounding headline policies prove meaningless (and possibly dangerous) on closer inspection. Behind all this sits the worrying idea of a man who does not really know his own mind."

The fact that you might consider it possible suggests it is not much ado about nothing. The fact is you think it's significant ONLY because some Republicans think is significant. Otherwise, you wouldn't care at all. The Dem senator in WV has questioned Obama's birth place so its not just Rs but its mostly Rs. And its significant because Rs are willing to call the POTUS and the state of Hawaii liars in order to win this election. No one seems to be as racist and duplicitous as Rs. And when people like yourself play pretend and claim its not that big a deal, its infuriating. This country is heading for a major break up and/or a civil war. Our only hope is that the more moderate Rs take back control of the GOP and kick the radicals to the curb. The radical Rs are wrong and dangerous to the Union. This country can not survive with them dictating the terms of our future.
