Has Anyone Noticed….about Mitt?

Has anyone noticed how Mitt Romney’s campaign slogans and positions change depending on who is leading in either party, Democrat or Republican, at that particular moment?   As a voter, I cannot figure out which Romney would end up President.  At least, with the other candidates, I have a pretty good idea of the person that I will end up with in the White House.  With Romney, however, his sudden adoration of Ronald Reagan and Bush, even though he ran for governor on an anti-Reagan and anti-Bush platform, makes me question who he really is and where he really stands.  Now that the Democrats have raised this issue of “Change,” Romney has jumped on board and is now billing himself as the “agent of change.”  As a voter, it’s a bit insulting to my intelligence when a candidate assumes that I am incapable of seeing the disingenuousness of such comments.  Even a blind man can see the artificiality of such comments.  Please don’t get me wrong, Romney definitely has a capable grasp of economic issues.  However, we are also facing issues far and beyond the economy, i.e. national security, healthcare, social security.  I cannot say that I know how he would approach such issues.  I do know however, that Romney was not for timetable withdrawals from Iraq…thanks CNN.  Many have speculated that the only reason Mike Huckabee remains in the race is to siphon off votes from Romney…which is a statement that I wholeheartedly agree with by the way (heads-up Huckabee, we’re onto you).  But I honestly think that Romney does not need any help in this department.  One thing that is important to us, the voters, is putting a person in office that we trust. Romney would do much better by deciding what his positions are, where he wants to take the country, and sticking to those principles and ideas.  Pandering to the popular group or slogan of the moment leaves us dissuaded and deterred.
