Comments on: Romney Defends Charges Of Flip-Flopping

Says He Will Keep Campaign Promises Despite Changing Views On Abortion, Same-Sex Rights

[hungry1968]

%u201CFreedom requires religion, just as religion requires freedom.%u201D



For that statement alone, he should be banned from running for office. He should not be allowed to impose his hysterical religious beliefs on the United States. If he can''t separate religion from politics, then he shouldn''t be allowed to run for political office.

Does CBSNews have a "Comedy" section? If so, this belongs there.

Romney says, "he had learned from experience and could be counted on to keep his campaign promises if elected president."

SO, what he''s trying to convince us is that he has now acquired ALL the relevant experience, that it is not possible to learn anything more, and so now, FINALLY he will keep his promises because NOTHING could change his mind at this point.

No matter how you look at it, THAT''S NOT GOOD!

He was a flip-flopper, but now he''s a stubborn a$$. He promises us he will never learn anything new.

Yikes! What a re.****!

And, BTW, when your religion was founded by a con man, and you claim to be a "Christian" but the things you believe are opposed to what other Christians believe, and your religion used to support polygamy (and still does, secretly) and it once declared eternal vengeance on the USA, and you wear "magic underpants" to "protect you" from something or another, ..., well, then I''d say your religion IS A SIGNIFICANT FACTOR in determinining whether or not we should vote for you. And I say, "Vote NO on Mutt Romney."

Magic Underpants: No Thanks!

[hobbes1831]

huck got reemed for asking if mormons thought satan and Jesus were brothers....when on THEIR OWN WEBSITE, mormons say they do believe this. hmmmm...

[hobbes1831]

flip flops go well with magic underwear.

[rafterman1]

I''ll say the same thing about Romney that I did about John Kerry in 2004 - flip flopping charges are stupid. What, people aren''t allowed to change their minds about issues? Time and experience can change a person''s view of the world. Only an idiot locks into a view and never changes it, even if new evidence comes up. Prime example, Bush. Bush never changes his mind about anything and "stays the course", even if that course takes us off the edge of a cliff. Accusing people of flip-flopping is usually just politcal garbage attacks.

Mitt Romney.....Pander Bear.

[joyous88]

If you liked the last eight years of criminal neglect in the white house, the lies, the theives, the torture, the anti American evangelical bent, the Faith Based Bribe for the mindless christian vote----

than you will love this scumbag

[micma-2009]

Romney has flip-flopped on every major issue in his campaign. He''s all ambition and not principle.

Lorinkundert,
Does it really matter what comes out of their mouths?
Gone are the days of Citizen Kane. Many Americans don''''t realized that the coupe has taken place. The Bushwacker has railroaded the U.S. Constitution very subtly and quitely with no resistence from the Justice Department/ U.S. Supreme Court, and the Corporations with the help of the National Security administration have manipulated the Truth to the point that all we see is deception.

Yes, the old saying "believe only half of what you read; nothing of what you hear." Well, today it''''s pure propaganda - corporations and the government dictate what our eyes and ears can have. In the day of Rome, only the Generals and their armies could overthrow the Emperior - Bush always s*u*cks* up to the Generals. I am really surprized how these kids (soldiers) come back deformed and maimed just don''''t realize they have sold their bodies to the Beast.

You still stupid people who think its about Republican and Democratic leadership and party politics are really dopes. I have seen both Presidents betray their own ethics, politics and fellow Congressmen. These elected A*s*S*holes don''''t care about you. All they care about is their own wealth.

In truth, Bush should be hanged for treason, falsying testamony, tappering with elections, violating the U.S. Constitution, profiteering, and murder. But the dictator has the U.S. Supreme Court in his back pocket.

[libertarian5]

"Romney has defended Bush against Huckabee''s criticisms of his foreign policy. On Sunday, he went a bit further, labeling the charge "an insult" and calling on Huckabee to tell the president he was sorry."

So he thinks the pres is sorry. So do I.

[merlgrey]

he can flip my burgers and thats about it. huckleberry hound can be the fry guy. mccant can be the nervous suspicious night manager. fred can sit at the register and take 12 hours to order a burger.

get the richies and power mongers out of washington. they serve no-one but thier own interests.

in other news since it apparently isnt newsworthy... ron paul is at about 16.1 mill in his fundraiser today at 7:30 pm et. of course it must be aliens that are contributing... not actually individual americans who want thier country back... because that would be news yes. well- time to get back to reading about girlianni the crossdressing day manager.

[perception5]

All of the candidates running for president can be called Flip Floppers.

Because ALL of the folks running from either party has flip flopped. And several of them have flip flopped alot more than Mitt Romney.

So what''s the point?

Mitt is the most qualified candidate running from either party.

Maybe that''s what the liberals at the Associated Press should have told everyone.

Because "that" statement is a fact.

[jsilver2th]

Romney: He said it would be a mistake if a candidate "stubbornly takes a position on a particular act and says, ''Well, I''m never changing my view based on what I''ve learned.''"

So now, isn''t that exactly what he says that he will do? Never change his new positions?

This guy has been talking to himself so long he''s started to believe his own press releases...

He''s not a flip flopper- he''s a flipper flop.

[jn122736]

Romney has flip-flopped on at least THREE major issues since deciding to run for president (a few months), ostensibly because he has learned things he didn%u2019t know previously.

Voters might find credibility in that claim if it were only about one issue, but THREE??

The republicans made a huge talking point about Kerry%u2019s statement about %u201Cbeing for it before he was against it%u201D and that was only one issue, the Iraq invasion, which after learning about all the misinformation, a majority of Americans later changed their minds about.

Where are all those republicans now?

[soldat44]

"At the same time, Romney insisted that as governor he kept all of his campaign promises despite changing some views, and said he would stick to his promises if elected president. "

Clueless - absolutely clueless

[cyberus-2009]

Romney and Clinton have this in common .. flip flopping in an attempt to follow poll numbers.

[lorinkundert]

They are all a bunch of flip floppers who claim that they are listening to the voters. The Voters demand to know in uncertain terms where the candidates stand regardless of who is in the audience that day.
