Whatever the audience wants to hear

“Governor Romney would of course support legislation aimed at providing greater protections for life.”; Romney spokeswoman, Andrea Saul, Tuesday Oct. 9, National Review Online.

“There’s no legislation with regards to abortion that I’m familiar with that would become part of my agenda,”; Mitt Romney, Tuesday Oct 9, Des Moines Register.

That could be said about pretty much all politicians, including Obama. Pointing it out in one you dislike just shows your bias.

Please give an example of where Obama contradicts himself so obviously.

Seems that Romney thinks his supporters are like the White Queen: "Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast".

Why does the word 'Gitmo' start flashing before my eyes? Not sure.

Meanwhile, my ears are ringing with, "I actually voted for the war before I voted against it."

I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

You assume.

I am not a Romney supporter. Can't stand him anymore then Obama.

I didn't claim you were. I wrote nothing about you.

It's NOT all about you

Not sure what you mean by "six impossible things" quote.

Is it impossible to believe that most politicians say what their audience wants to hear and that pointing it out in one only shows your bias against said politician?

For years and years he (and his spokespeople/publishers/PR folks) lied and said was born in Kenya. Gave him a different audience and a better story of success. Then he said he was born in Hawaii. I believe the latter. But it sure caused a lot of problems down the road.

My wife is hotter than your wife.

[DanG 1]

Obama never said he was born in Kenya.

Jeez john that was close. If you could only catch Mitt actually saying those 2 things in the same day, everyone would see what a fool they've been.

Please don't dent the planet.

Let me explain.

The Romney campaign, on the same day, made mutually contradictory statements about his stance on abortion legislation. To believe that both are true at the same time is to believe an impossible thing.

Easy, really.

Well I never disputed that. I just pointed out that I think that is pretty typical of all politicians.

OK, give an example of another campaign that made mutually contradictory policy statements on the same day to different audiences.

I don't keep track of all the times politicans lie, so I can't give you an example that fits your criteria. I don't think it takes that much of a stretch to think that other politicians haven't done the same thing. Consider all the promises Obama made when he was running for president that he didn't keep. Gitmo is one that was mentioned earlier. Politicians lie, Obama has lied, Romney has lied. Just because Romney was caught saying contradictory things on the same day is not such a surprising thing. So A politician was caught lying!!! I think that's just politics as usual.

So you claim it's "typical" to say contradictory things on the same day, but when challenged can't come up with another example.

Got it.

Defense of marriage and the gay issue

Sorry

I gave two glaring examples

if we falter and lose our freedoms,
it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

So which of the Romney campaign's 2 statements yesterday is the accurate one, that he WOULD or WOULDN'T support legislation on abortion?

I am more focused on the Obama admins (and Obama himself) lies about the 4 dead at our embassy.

But of course, you dont care

Oh, and I am looking at your lie about Romney
It is either a lie or you cant read or comprehend what you read

"America will never be destroyed from the outside,
if we falter and lose our freedoms,
it will be because we destroyed ourselves."
Abraham Lincoln

[Gravitymaster 0]

The accurate one is the one in which he says "I will be the next President of the U.S." Get used to saying "President Romney".

By typical what I was meaning is it's typical for politicians to lie. The time between contradictory statements is meaningless.

Failed campaign promises are really in a different ballpark. There's a lot of Monday morning QBing on failed attempts and candidates make a lot of talk that when it comes time to actually implement they realize 1) it isn't that simple or 2) they can't get it passed by Congress. Obama had a lot of items in the #1 category. Hardly a surprise given his lack of experience prior to taking office.

Then you have candidates who try to ride the fence on polarizing issues, or to escape prior statements that have fallen out of favor.

But let's not mince words here. Romney completely remade himself as more of a hardliner because the GOP wasn't going to nominate a moderate Mormon, former governor of MA who passed a universal health care plan. And I defy you to find any candidate in the past 3 decades who has been on both sides of as many issues. He's in a place by himself in this regard.
