Mitt has only been a politician for four years....and you think his pandering problem stems from being a politician?
Why not? W was only a politician for 4 years when he ran for POTUS. (OK, he ran for Congress in the seventies, but didn’t win and worked in the private sector until he was elected Governor of Texas.) Anyway, as Governor he signed a law giving hospitals the right to stop care in terminal cases — then defended Terri Schiavo. I still think W is a good guy and basically honest. He’s a politician and they grow and adapt with the office.
