Mitt Romney flip flops

Mitt Romney’s quest for Republican primary voters is beginning to look like Elmer Fudd’s hunting expeditions. This week, Romney’s attempt to smooth talk hunters and sportsmen into ignoring his record misfired when he told a New Hampshire audience that he had “been a hunter pretty much all my life,” even though his own staff acknowledged that he “had been on only two hunting trips.” Undeterred, Romney made matters worse yesterday in Indiana by insisting that “I've always been a rodent and rabbit hunter. Small varmints, if you will.”

Unfortunately for Romney, his latest hunting accident is just one part of a broader pattern. The voters have already figured out that, on issue after issue, Romney is trying to smooth talk them into ignoring his real record instead of offering a real agenda for America.

From abortion, to gay marriage, to gun rights, to tax cuts, to immigration reform, to Social Security—even his own political heroes—Romney has switched his positions on just about every issue in this campaign. All of this helps explain why Romney remains stuck in single digits in just about every poll—including the latest USAToday/Gallup poll which has him stuck at three percent among Republican voters. Romney even trails two people who aren’t even in the race.
