The problem of the discussion of flip-flopping was that many of the claims were lies, distortions and exaggerations.

So everything mentioned in the OP were "lies, distortions and exaggerations"?

Pretty much.

As I see it, Romney flipped on one major issue and two minor ones.

The major issue was abortion.

The minor ones were the "don't ask, don't tell" policy and Federal anti-discrimination laws for gays.

In 13 years ago, he said he did not think the "don't ask, don't tell" policy would work. After seeing that it did work, he changed his mind. Big deal.

Back in 1994, he supported anti-discrimination laws for gays at the Federal level. Now he thinks they're more appropriate at the state level. Big deal.

And that, my friends, is the sum total of his flips. That's a pretty short list for any politician.

He never actually flip-flopped, as far as I can tell.

Don’t be stupid. How can “many of” be read as “everything.”
