Mitt Romney: The Matthew Lesko of American Politics

"My opponent isn't pro-choice or anti-choice, he's multiple choice."   —Senator Edward M Kennedy on Romney during the 1994 Senate Election

When Mitt Romney came to New Hampshire in June and announced his candidacy, One of the first visceral reactions I had was that Mitt could not win against Obummer. Not for all the conventions and opinings currently swirling about, but for the simple facial evaluation that the man in not honest. He is too phony, fake and disingenuous. His Flip flops are well-documented in the 2008 campaign by the very moderate-RINO that endorsed him...John McCain.

Romney flip-flopped on Second Amendment issues. Always did that which was politically expedient for him to do. In 1994 Romney supported the assault weapons ban, the Brady Bill and a waiting period and went on as Governor to sign one of the toughest pieces of assault weapons legislation in the country. Despite, Romney also having signed some favorable gun legislation measures into law as governor, his track record deems him unreliable to the pro-gun constituency. And just to be sure, shooting at a few varmints as a youth and then shot gunning a quail on a game preserve no more makes him a hunter than  petting a dog or a cat makes me a member of PETA. I am a hunter and I know a hunter when I meet one or see one. Mitt Romney is no Hunter.

Romney once called Republican nominee McCain's proposal on immigration reform, "Reasonable" yet railed against it as "Amnesty" a year later.  Romney leaves in his wake the same inconsistencies in response to Gay rights.

Romney is little more than a big-government moderate who will promise goodies, while touting fiscal restraint.

The one thing Romney has earned this political season is his moniker: The Plastic RINO. What victory do those voting for a republican candidate generate if all the accomplish is running a John Kerry "Can I get me a huntin' license, heeya" phony against a BozObama? Please, he's the worst of the remaining contenders for the throne.
