A video from CBS, of all places, that paints a picture so positive about the person and character of Mitt Romney you won't believe your eyes.

Nice piece....but I don't think the issue is who the real Mitt Romney is as a person. I'm sure that he IS a very nice guy. The question in this election is WHO IS THE REAL MITT ROMNEY as a CANDIDATE. Therein lies the problem for Mitt that has earned him the title "Mr. Etch a Sketch". The problem is, it is impossible to know who the Real Mitt Romney is because he has no principles that he sticks to. He waffles and flip flops from issue to issue depending upon who he is campaigning to. This leaves America with a lot of trust issues about the man who wants the highest position in this country.

You just described the Clinton Presidency TO A "T"!!

That one didn't work out so bad, IMO.;)

Not even close...but nice try. There is a reason that Mitt Romney is known as "Mr Etch a Sketch"...even his own campaign has conceded the point that Romney reinvents himself depending on the election focus. It really is a shame. I actually kinda liked the old "moderate" Romney from his Massachusetts governor days, before the wacko fringe of the party got to him. I'm hoping that if, god forbid, he is elected that he will reinvent himself once more and reject the far-right extremist policies that he has embraced in order to get the nomination and will return to the more moderate Mitt. The trouble is....no one really knows WHO the real Mitt Romney is.

You are correct to a certain extent. One of the main issues that I had with Clinton is that he often tried to be too much of a consensus President rather than fighting for a cause. However, I think the difference is, Clinton didn't really flip flop on the issues in the same way that Romney has. I think Clinton was a much more principled person.

Please.

Clinton went from championing government run health care(Hillary Care) to proclaiming "The era of big government is over" all within the course of about 2 years. An about face that has no equal in the history of the Presidency, I do believe.
 
I will be very proud to vote for Mitt.. good decent man..

OErkle is such a dweeb Marxist wannabe... cant wait to send him back to Chitcago..

Not at all...you were the one that was saying that you would vote for the guy with one real name. I'm just curious who exactly you are talking about?
