He doesn’t constantly flip-flop and change his stance on _everything_ to the point of absurdity because he is lacking any convictions or beliefs of his own or real moral fiber; no, he has been _Lying for the Lord_ this whole time.

I wasn’t aware that Mormon doctrine had anything to do with economic policy or climate change. Are you claiming that lying for the Lord translates into lying about everything? I’m an atheist, but we bought our house from Mormons, and there were zero lies in that transaction. I think given the views of the Republican base a much better explanation for Romney’s actions is blindingly obvious. ---

I think Occam’s Razor would suggest that Romney simply tailors his stance on issues to the presumed voters. Hence, Massachusetts voters got Centrist Romney and Republican primary voters are getting Conservative Romney. While I found the wiki article to be pretty accurate, it is also pretty irrelevant to Mitt Romney. ---

Perhaps I erred, if so the mods will take this down. But given the circus-like atmosphere of this year’s Republican primary, I didn’t think a little tongue-in-cheek humor was out of line. Perhaps MPSIMS would have been a better forum, but that ship has already sailed. ---

Got anything from a source that isn’t quite so blatantly biased? ---

Ugh, reminds me of that Pamela Geller shrew. Of course tongue’s in cheek; head’s up ass. ---

Since this doesn’t seem to have worked out, I’m closing it.
