Mitt(Liar) Romney Won't Abandon 'Severely Conservative' Record To Win Independents In 2012 Race


OK< I added the liar to the title.

WASHINGTON -- Mitt Romney will need independent voters in November, but he isn't abandoning his "severely conservative" record.

The likely Republican presidential nominee has embarked on an aggressive campaign against President Barack Obama that straddles two sometimes-conflicting political ideologies.

On some days, the former Massachusetts governor is a social conservative and social moderate, a right-wing conspiracy theorist and promoter of political compromise. With the primaries over, it's an evolving balancing act that, so far, is leaning decidedly right.

Romney spoke out Friday against China's "one-child policy," in an apparent nod to social conservatives. But later in the same Fox News interview, he defended his decision to hire an openly gay staffer who just quit under pressure from social conservatives.

...run away or towards what he's said during the primaries.

I doubt after seeing his poll numbers that he'll care about the latter
