Mitt Romney: The Anti-Mitt

I remember telling some friends back in 2008 that Big Love Mitt Romney stood a much better chance at the presidency in 2012 rather than 2008 because those four years gave him much more time to make Republicans forget (and ultimately the media) just how left-leaning he had been his whole career.  Well, we would be forced to call a Democrat that was pro-choice, pro-gay rights, supported an individual insurance mandate-- no actually enacted health care reform with an individual mandate just like Obama-- and raised taxes a Liberal Elitist.  But since Romney is a Republican we have to settle as labeling him "left leaning."

Luckily for America, there are a couple really cool 20th century inventions like television and the internets to remind us just how much of a liar Romney really is.

That's what you have to do to win a GOP primary. Rick Perry in Texas has to go through the same thing. He has to transform from a reasonably moderate very pro-separation of church and state Republican just two years ago to a fundamentalist Christian jihadist chosen by God for Republicans to vote for.
