Evaluation of the policies of George W. Bush and his Republican conservatives on America.
Published on December 16, 2007 By COL Gene In Politics


Today on Meet the Press Mitt Romney was on the griddle. Tim Russet did a great job of documenting the areas where Romney flip flopped. Romney responded “that a person can learn and then change” which is true for most people with the possible exception of President George W. Bush. The fact is that most of the changes in the positions of Mitt Romney about Abortion, Gun Control, Stem Cells, Taxes and Health Insurance correspond to when Romney was running for Governor of Liberal Massachusetts and now that he is courting the Conservatives.

Russet asked Romney if he thought he would have been elected Governor of Massachusetts with the positions he takes as a candidate for the GOP presidential nomination. Romney did not answer that question.

It looks like what Romney believes depends on what office he is running for. If it is in a more liberal state like Massachusetts his views are more centrist. If he is trying to win the support of the conservatives he shifted to a very different stance.

Yes Romney is a flip-flopper to fit the office he is seeking and what the people he is courting want to hear!

I might if he were consistently correct. However since he and his policies always fall short, he is not one to admire!

so i guess the one you admire never did a thing without a poll.

The hypocrisy from gene is simply amazing.

Gene, tell us when you will start writing about someone like Hillary who "courts" people based on what they want to hear?

I would lump her with the GOP Candidates. I would like to see Edwards or Obama or even Biden. They have been telling us we must change to solve the issues facing us!

They will produce the change people want. They will increase taxes on the upper income and give tax cuts to the middle income Americans. They will push health care. They will move on energy changes. That will sell in November 2008! They will also get our troops out of Iraq which again will sell well in November 2008! They are more in line with the changes people want. The majority do not want another 4 years of policies that look like the Bush policies!

What about the people who don't want tax increases? What they want doesn't count?

They will have to accept what the majority wants and will see how the majority has felt during the past 7 years! The difference will be that this time the policies will agree with the majority and help the middle class not the wealthy! Edwards and Obama have also made some specific suggestions to fund Social Security which the vast majority want done! Edwards has suggested lifting the income cap for Social Security Taxes like Medicare.

It is the GOP in the Senate that is blocking the energy bill that passed the House!

You don't know what people want.  Edwards and Obama are floppers too.

The only thing important to gene is taxing successful Americans and employers.

The Democrats will help more people into the middle class and move the poor toward the middle class. The wealthy will still be wealthy just like they were during the 1990's. The majority will benefit and the wealthy will sill be doing just fine!

The important thing is to have policies that benefit the all Americans not just wealthy Americans!

Cute. Real cute. So you agree, the solution to health care is to make criminals out of Americans who don't have it?

Wait a second. You keep insisting you're not in favor of increasing taxes, you just want to "roll back".

Ironic, on an article talking about "flipflops" of a Presidential candidate!
