How Romney’s extreme policies insult us all - Katrina vanden Heuvel
At first glance, it might seem as if Mitt Romneys path from voting in the 1992 Democratic presidential primary to being the 2012 Republican presidential nominee was linear. But over the past, winding, 20 years, Romney has held every possible view on every possible issue often at the same time. When it comes to policy, hes been downright promiscuous.
He was for a womans right to choose before he was against it. He was for tax cuts for the rich before he was against them. He was for no, he wrote health reform before he was against it
before he was for the parts that everybody liked.
This isnt a platform its a punchline.
Now, 18 months into the presidential campaign, countless campaign events, interviews, a convention and a debate later, one thing is clear. Mitt Romney isnt etch-a-sketching or flip-flopping. Hes being dishonest. And at Tuesdays town hall debate, its time for the American people and the president to go the way of Joe Biden and call out his malarkey.
