[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 1041548, member: 18225"] LOL. Which Romney? This guy has changed his positions so many times, to get the nomination, to appease this group or that group, on and on and on. It's a joke. The irony is that the Mitt Romney you're seeing now (the centrist) is probably closer to the 'real' Mitt Romney, for instance: He's not lying when he says he thinks abortion should remain legal, or that women should have access to contraception. (Unlike Paul Ryan, who is the equivalent of the American Taliban, I seriously doubt that Romney desires to impose his religious views on the entire American populous...it's just not good Mormanism, and more importantly, it's just not good business). I doubt he cares about guns one way or another, etc., etc., Mitt will say whatever it takes to get elected, to whomever will listen. He's a Morman for fks sake, of course he cares about everyone: when he was talking about the 47%, he was referencing the people who he [I]accurately[/I] pegged as 'they'll never vote for me anyway', etc. Was it inarticulate? Absolutely. (binders full of women, anyone?). On economic issues, you can believe him or not: I think he really wants to fix things, but there's no serious economist that believes he can deliver on everything he's promising (same is true for Obama). [B]LOOK:[/B] If Romney had just been himself, I might have considered voting for him. If he'd just been himself, the Mormon-Centrist-Business-Leader, socially 'liberal' but fiscally conservative, he would have smoked all those other clowns (Cain? Bachmann? please....). Honestly, I have no idea who the 'real' Romney is...I have a guess about who that person might be, and my guess about that person is that he would [B]probably make a good President[/B]. Instead, he (or his advisors) decided that the only way he was going to win the nomination was to sign that idiot Norquist's anti-tax pledge, get on his knees for the NRA, the Evangelical militant Christian Right, Karl Rove and Crossroads GPS, and pick P. Diddy Ryan as his running mate...someone who is (I'm guessing) about 180 degrees away from who the 'real' Romney is (maybe? hard to tell). So he pretty much lost my vote. I sincerely hope he loses the election and goes into seclusion to grandfather his twenty grandkids, or whatever. He took the wrong lessons from his father's defeat. [/QUOTE]
