Admits changes in the climate caused changes to claim that Romneycare should be model for nation
With great confidence and smooth delivery during last nights debate, Mitt Romney denied changing the text of his book, No Apology, saying, One reason to elect me is that I know what I stand for. Ive written it down. Words have meaning. [1]
Hours after the debate, Romney retreated from his written words, admitting the paperback edition of No Apology was scrubbed to remove the Romneycare reference: We can accomplish the same thing for everyone in the country. [2]
This morning on Fox News, Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul attributed Romneys fluctuating positions to changes in the climate. Updates of course are going to be made to reflect changes in the climate, Saul said. Those changes were reflected in the book. [3]
Mr. Romney talks a good game, but just cant shoot straight about Romneycare being the father of Obamacare, said Perry spokesman Ray Sullivan. Time and again he changes positions and policies to suit his political needs. Mr. Romney promised no retreat from his book. Now his campaign admits he changes his positions to match changes in the political climate, such as denying Romneycare should be a national model now that Obamacare is a job-killing disaster.
Mr. Romney said during last nights debate: Please dont try and make me retreat from the words that I wrote in my book. I stand by what I wrote. I believe in what I did. And I believe that the people of this country can read my book and see exactly what it is. [4]

yep called me(until then a leaning Perry supporter) one too
What is a RINO? The term has been so overused and misused it no longer has meaning.
I don’t want Romney for the nominee, but I will vote for him against Obama. (see tag)
John is a newbie.
This is the central reason why I will not under any circumstances vote for Romney. While a big government socialist who seems to like America is a step up from the current big government socialist who hates America, that’s just not enough to earn my vote. It’s not just health care either, it the idea that government is the solution to problems, whether or not government has the authority to intrude into that aspect of our lives. Romney doesn’t believe there should be limits on government, and RomneyCare is one manifestation of that perspective. I cannot vote for that man, no matter what.
Yes. Federalist #70:
Energy in the Executive is a leading character in the definition of good government...
There can be no need, however, to multiply arguments or examples on this head. A feeble Executive implies a feeble execution of the government. A feeble execution is but another phrase for a bad execution; and a government ill executed, whatever it may be in theory, must be, in practice, a bad government.
Feeble perfectly describes Perry's debate performances. A feeble debater is a feeble communicator. A feeble communicator is a feeble President.
So now we can be certain that Mitt Romney is for climate change? Wait, the climate changes so the words don’t matter and the health care is better when the change comes and the sickness goes......????
In fact, we do not need other candidates at Republican debates. All we need is Romney to debate Romney. Myth has taken every possible position on the major issues so he can be considered the “perfect” candidate. His views are so nuanced and convoluted as to make him completely spherical in his political philosophy. That is to say, he has NO political core excepted to get elected and rule over his “subjects”.
Didn't they misspell "waffles"?
At any rate, I'm shocked, shocked, I tell you!

I’m no Romney supporter, but Perry would better serve himself by justifying his own actions instead of trying to pick on someone else’s.
No one knows how to grow government, regulations and bureaucracy like progressive Republicans. They know better than anyone how service the Washington establishment, and deliver big government.
Huntsman is at 1%. I think it would turn into a free for all with Bachman, Cain and Paul 1, 2 and 3 with Gingrich a distant fourth followed by the also ran candidacies of Huntsman and that stoner from New Mexico....I forgot his name.
For me, in the primary it’s Cain because his views and my own match quite well.
AKA Ill say whatever I think the people will vote for. Now theres guy who has a core set of principles that could use as President doncha think? /s
He sure did! My favorite was when he called me heartless.
Yeah, me too. What an Ahole this guy is. I wouldnt vote for him for dogcatcher. Well, maybe dogcatcher.
I don’t know he might show preferential treatment to Mexican chiwawas..especially the puppies of Mexican Chiwawas..?
I like Cain, I’d be happy if he’s the nominee. He earned the straw poll win. I think he would have still won even if Rick Perry hadn’t had a lackluster debate performance. We shall see, there’s a long ways to go yet.
Romney didn’t say he would “issue waivers.” He said he would “waver on that issue.”
I somehow think you would.
