I just read this article by William Rivers Pitt and it blows me away. Please read -- it is a good one.
"Non-doctrinaire" has translated into abject flip-floppery on a scale that beggars comparison. He was for his own health care plan before he was against it, and believed the mandate he created was a tax before he didn't; he was for stem cell research before he was against it; he was for a woman's right to choose before he was against it; he believed humans bear responsibility for climate change before he didn't; he was for giving undocumented workers a path to citizenship before he wasn't; he wasn't the biggest NRA fan before he was, and said he owned a gun before saying he didn't; he was for the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" until he was asked again, at which point he decided he was against it; and he was against Grover Norquist's no-taxes pledge until - you guessed it - he signed the pledge after declaring his intention to seek the presidency.
"Business experience"...where to begin? This has been the lynchpin of Romney's 293-month presidential campaign, until the Obama re-election crew went ju-jitsu on him, and in a matter of minutes turned his seemingly greatest strength into a water-kneed weakness that has sent his entire operation into a tailspin of nonsense that makes the McCain '08 campaign look like a collection of steely-eyed ninjas by comparison.
