Romney: "Never Mind"

[Hobbes]

Perhaps the original poster has forgotten that Obubaloo originally promised to hire no lobbyists while he was campaigning in 2008 and then hired a bunch, that he said his administration would be "transparent" and then continues to hide information (along with the wondrous Nancy Pelosi), and that he would cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term but instead has raised it to record levels with the latest being $1.1 Trillion.

So, are you the goose or the gander?

Nope, I remember that. How can I forget? Someone posts it on this forum every day. It's like Groundhog Day.

I don't think that even O can match the Romney record for flip flops though.
Seriously, Romney shouldn't have run the olympics, he should have been in the olympics, for world record flip flop speed.

It took him 17 days to go from "not elegantly stated" to "I was wrong"
And that means that the people here who posted that they agree with him are now officially "wrong" according to Mittworth.

Mitt evolved.

Mitt evolved.

lol.....

 

[Hobbes]

Mark my words.

Between now and Nov 6th Romney will 'evolve' to state that he never vowed to fire big bird.
He was just going to eliminate his job through attrition.

You heard it here first.

politicians say things to get elected.......in other news, water is wet....

When is it flip flopping and when is it actually admitting a mistake? He could've just as easily said he EVOLVED on the subject, would that be acceptable?

He didn't say he evolved.
He said "I was completely wrong". There's something of a difference.


And in only 17 days.

There's at least one more flip flop left in that statement though.
One more slippery evasion route still lurks in that statement even though it sounds at first like it's very definitive.

I'll bet Rick knows what it is.
If Rick doesn't post it by tomorrow I will go ahead do so.

He did say he was wrong indeed. I kind of respect that. Even from Romney. I'm glad he didn't say he evolved because that would just look stupid. You're right, there is something of a difference.

He admitted he was wrong. I don't see a problem with that. When you EFF up, man up and admit it. Then move on.
