That's false. The independent website ontheissues.org graphs candidates' ideologies according to their positions on the issues, and this is how they label Romney and Obama. Romney is the image on top and Obama is the image at the bottom: Link http://www.ontheissues.org/barack_obama.htm

I suspect they rated Romney on what he says (when pandering for the nomination) and NOT what he actually has done when he exercised power.

If you believe he is a far right conservative, I have swamp land you might be interested in buying for your retirement home.

Independent? OntheIssues.org is based in Massachusetts. Could be wrong, but I bet it is linked heavily to Romney.

Anyway, an analysis that wrong certainly calls their credibility into question.

Those things are always based on the platform and positions someone says they have. They’re not based on the record of what they did. If you believe Mitt Romney has “gotten more conservative as he got older,” i.e. during those key “formative years” of age 60 through 65, then, allow me to ROTFLMFAO.

Those graphs are completely worthless, as are the labels "left", "right", and "moderate".

I want to see both plotted on a 2D chart, with the abscissa as the candidate's record on their desired amount of government control (0-100%, anarchist to totalitarian) and the ordinate the candidate's record on their desired amount of public employment (0-100%, total private enterprise to utter fascism).

Betcha Romney and Obama are in the same quadrant.
