Sniffing that all the things Romney "changed his mind" on over the years aren't that important to you personally is missing the OP's point: Romney HAS no core values. He is a total hypocrite who changes his position to suit the times and the audience.

THIS is the reason no one can stand him, why his own party is thrashing around desperately for someone, ANYONE else. Not because of Romneycare. Not because he's a Mormon. Not because his real first name is Willard . But because no one knows what the hell he really believes. They do not trust him.

If you don't think Romney's character is going be an issue in the campaign, just watch. In a cycle where the incumbant is as vulnerble as any in history, I give Romney no better than a 50-50 shot.

(BTW, I'm not a Republican )

So he was for it before he was against it, right?

What is wrong with changing your mind on such a highly debated issue like abortion? Humans are not robots.

That's what I love about you "new R's." You've turned the "big tent" party into something about the size of an umbrella in a fizzy drink.

I'm voting for Huntsman. I'm doing more than voting--my family will be actively working for him as hard as we can. He's a smart, practical, reasonable guy, and you know EXACTLY where he stands. That said, because of the far end of the base, he has a just about zero chance of winning the primary. I have no idea what we'll be doing in the general, but it won't be voting for Romney.

Romney and Obama are two sides of the same coin. Their goals and policies are largely the same.

The Real Romney? - YouTube
another example of what one can do with YouTube: this is many years ago, plus who ever said it would be a slam dunk???

His first name is Willard?

Somehow, I can't wait to see a Vote for Willard bumper sticker. I wonder, will the partisian hacks start referring to him as Willard like they call Obama, Barry Hussein?

You can't blame you-tube. It's his record and he has to be able to explain why he's flip flopped on so many values issues. You-tube just makes it a whole lot harder for him to say "I was misquoted."

That would explain his being the frontrunner and all...lol. I have heard or read nothing disdainful about Romney's character actually.

Keep trying though, you look desperate.

I don't know who you are calling a "new R"...lol. I have been a Republican more years than you have probably been alive.

You should support who you choose, it's no big deal to me. I am not sure the Huntsman campaign needs people like you representing them, but go for it.
