Will the real Mitt Romney please take a step forward? We know the latest Mitt Romney is much more conservative than the old one, you know; the one he left back in Massachusetts as governor.
Of course, the new, more conservative Mitt Romney was what was needed to win the Republican nomination for president. Now that Mitt has it in the bag, all he needs to do now is shake, shake, shake, that political position's etch-a-sketch and come out smelling like a moderate. He has to do this to pull in those independents that might not like the sucking-up-to-the-Tea-Party-crowd, "severely conservative" Romney.
Romney should be warned; the American people are not idiots so they're not going to go for this quick switch. The upcoming debates should be a perfect opportunity for the debate moderators to ask Mitt the tough questions, such as:
Why did you support a woman’s right to choose before, but now you don’t?
Why did you support gay marriage before, but now you don’t?
Why did you support a health care insurance mandate when you were governor but now you don’t support that same kind of mandate in the Affordable Care Act, fashioned after your own health care law in Massachusetts?
Why did you support an immigration policy that provided a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants but now you say that there should be “no special pathway to citizenship”?
Why did you once believe in global warming and now you don’t?
This is just a short list of some of the issues that Mitt Romney has flip-flopped on but they're some of the more important ones that affect a lot of us Americans. If he is elected president, will he be the president he promised the conservative voters during the Republican nomination debates? Will he do what he can to protect that 47 percent that he so disparaged in the now-famous video? Yes, perhaps he will be the newer Mitt Romney, who says his campaign is about the 100 percent. Still, there are some questions.
Just which Mitt Romney will become president, is what millions of Americans would like to know.
Why is it that the Romney campaign doesn't seem to have many specifics when it comes to what they will do if Mitt Romney does become president? Another question would be; why doesn't Romney release at least ten years of his tax returns, if he required ten years of tax returns from his VP choice Paul Ryan, to be vetted?
It would seem that we have more questions than answers when it comes to Mitt Romney. I hope that the debates will give us a much clearer view of what this man intends to do and if he is going to change his positions yet again, once in office if he is elected president.
I watched Romney's performance on the debate stage during the nomination process and he should know; the audience is not going to be loaded down with just Republican diehards like the Republican nomination debates, but Americans of all stripes. The audiences booing the moderator's tough questions are not going to work this time around, because if there is booing; there will be cheering I'm sure, just as much.
What I am really hoping is, for Mitt Romney to make clear what he will do for our economy if he is elected president. Will he cut more taxes for billionaires while cutting social programs for the needy? Will he repeal ObamaCare and leave tens of millions without health care?
He should explain to all of us what he wants to do, so all of us can make a wise choice when we visit the polls next month. Just let us know Mitt, which Mitt Romney will be president, is all we're asking for.
