The Washington Post ran an editorial yesterday about Willard Mitt Romney's campaign finance hypocrisy. You've undoubtedly heard about Romney's secret million-dollar slush fund, disguised as an end run with a dummy corporation around campaign finance laws, which may be illegal.
Romney's backdoor acceptance of this massive cash largess is in direct contradiction to his position during his unsuccessful 2008 presidential run, when he railed against "political spending [that] has been driven into secret corners, and more power and influence has been handed to hidden special interests."
I'm continually amazed at how Romney's supporters look away when his many hypocrisies are brought into the spotlight. Time after time he gleefully underscores his own easy equivocation. Given he's more likely than not to be the GOP's 2012 nominee, it will be curious to see how the Republican faithful try to contort and gyrate themselves around his many reversals and flip-flops. After all, there was his hypocrisy about health care. Then there's his hypocrisy about immigration. Then there was his hypocrisy on Iran investments. There are many more.
Maybe Romney needs to grab this bull by the horn and make it a campaign slogan. Vote for Mitt Romney -- if you don't like my political positions, don't worry I'll soon change them.
