Mitt was my first choice for Presidential candidate, as well as Vice-Presidential. I haven’t changed my mind. I have a slight concern about his electability — he comes off as a little false at times. -NutCrackerBoy

A little false -- at times?

You mean when he's lying about owning a gun?
Or lying about being a hunter?
Or lying about his gun-grabbing record?
Or lying about both he and his father marching with MLK?
Or lying about his pro-abortion record?
Or lying about his support for gay rights?

In a word, no. You list flip-flops. While real, I do not for a microsecond accept that they tell the story of a Mitt candidacy for President.

He is a fine leader, smart enough to understand what needs to be done from a conservative point of view (including especially judicial nominations), and I believe that he sincerely wants to serve for all the right reasons.

My misgivings were that he too often appears insincere.

Those aren’t “flip-flops”, they are lies, either you own a gun or not, you are a hunter or not, your past gun record exists or not, you and Governor Romney marched with King or not, your past abortion record exists or not. It doesn’t matter what your political positions are, you cannot state that you own a gun when you in fact do not.

And you must have missed his record on Judicial appointments, it was discussed in detail here, about 25% of them were Republicans, probably none of them were conservatives.

While many of the things I brought up were positions that Mitt changed overnight, none of my points were criticisms of his flip-flops.

I pointed out his lies and deceitfulness, his fakery, his insincerity. Mitt will agree with whatever audience he is addressing regardless of any principles he may or may not hold.
