At best Romney is a Clinton-like figure, totally dishonest, without convictions, will say anything to get elected, and will shift his positions to go wherever the polls go. You might say that’s less risky than a pure liberal, but how do we know which way the polls are going to go? He already abandoned Kasich when his union fight was unpopular, he wants to keep Obama’s higher taxes on the rich, he defends everything liberal he did in Massachusetts because it was “popular,” etc. Romney is not a guy who is going to move the country in a conservative direction, maybe not in any direction at all. It’s more likely that he’ll go whichever way the wind blows.
However, we can be sure he will keep the status quo alive and well for the elite ruling class which he is a member of. Those are probably the only core convictions he has.
You can say that again. The man bears absolutely NO resemblance to a conservative (even a flawed one), and is only a Republican for reasons of political expedience. He doesn't have a core value anywhere in his body.
Mitt is a weather vave who will go whichever way the polls blow. He wouldn't make a good president even in a time of relative peace, security, and economic affluence - let alone in a dire time such as this.
