ROMNEY: Flip-Flopping is my plan and it will work...


For anyone that watched the last debate between Romney and Obama, you may have noticed that Romney tended to agree with Obama on most issues. This may seem strange to people who remember hearing Romney disagree with everything Obama said not too long ago.

The obvious Romney strategy has been to talk tough at the beginning so as to get nominated and then moderate his views as the election approached so as to appear like a moderate not unlike Obama and therefore acceptable to the general electorate and not just to radical Republicans.

It is a good plan even if it requires a lot of flip-flopping on issues and I think the plan has taken the Obama people by surprise.  The Obama camp developed a strategy to oppose and challenge Romney’s extreme views but now Romney suddenly says I don’t hold those views anymore.

The Romney strategy is quite slick and many pundits say that positioning himself as a moderate blurs the difference between the two candidates except that one is white and one is black.

If you say that his injecting race into the campaign is absurd I say that if Romney is willing to boldly lie about his views on issues, he is capable of surreptitiously injecting race into the campaign without seeming to do so; he is after all pretty smart and slick even if he doesn't act that way.


Romney obviously wants to be president in the worst way and he is willing to flip-flop at the drop of a hat and promise everything to everyone…to me that is not presidential material but works great if you are a con artist.
