This is why you and your liberal colleagues have ZERO CREDIBILITY. The sad part is that you don't even recognize it.
Hmm hmm.

flip flopping is change positions back and forth. Yes Obama has changed positions such as with gay marriage but he didn't flop back based on the political winds. On Abortion alone Romney has changed his position several times.

Once again you need to do your research. Indeed, Barack Obama has changed positions on gay marriage multiple times throughout his career. And your claim that he doesn't "flop back based on the political winds" is the funniest thing i've read all day. This President is the KING of tailoring his position based on the political filter inside of his head. NOTHING...and I mean NOTHING.....comes from his mouth without some sort of political consideration attached.

I'd be curious to know how old you are? Rhetorical question....don't answer....but you seem to be devoid of much experience in the political analysis arena.

Romney says one thing one day, 24 hours later he flips and another 24 hours has flips back.

This is totally spot in, the Article, as to why, I've lost a lot of respect for Romney. If he wins (yuk) and moves back towards the center, like a Snowe, or the way he more or less was in MA, than I can sleep a little easier at night. The pick of Paul Ryan though, tells me, that is very unlikely.

Too many Mitts | The Salt Lake Tribune
Yes, that the principal newspaper in the stronghold of the LDS would endorse the President for re-election ... should cause many people who say they're undecided to straighten their backs and take note.

Is there any indication at all that Mitt Romney will govern in a hardcore conservative way? NO! All this blather about him taking America back to 1950 is just mindless tripe put out by leftist media to scare people such as yourself into a frenzy. There is nothing to back up these assertions AT ALL.

Actually, what this proves is that Mormons are not monlithic in their views and approach to the world. If they were a monolitihic cult group thinking, acting, like progs like to shriek, then, of course they would have automatically endorsed Romney. Same could be said for the mindless drivel about Evangelicals not supporting Governor Romney, because he is not a C h r i s t i a n. Or that all conservatives are of a lesser gene pool. All any of those prove is that progressives are the monolithic, group thinkers, without an innate ability of discernment. That, or the progs who post here are just a bunch of sniveling trolls, without principle.

Now, find one, just one, African-American media outlet (web, broadcast, or print) that endorses Governor Romney, or even advocates that Blacks just not vote.

Romney has taken all sides of issues, right, left, center, so it's hard to predict how he will govern.

I guess you don't realize that America is an Apathetic Playground. 99% of America could give one damn about who the Salt Lake Tribune endorses.
