Rethuglican weather vane and profile in courage Willard "Severely Conservative" Romney has been trying to convince his party's reactionary base that he would sign a repeal of the Affordable Care Act if presented to him. Sadly for Willard, his record keeps popping up. The latest evidence of weird Willard's convenient conversion to the radical right was a op-ed piece in USA Today in 2009 that urged President Obama to adopt individual mandates for his health care plan. Federal "mandates" are, of course, poison in the minds of the wingnut world, and weird Willard has been campaigning fiercely against the advice he gave to President Obama.
Willard can't claim that this was his position in Massachusetts as Governor (2003 - 2007); this was less than 3 years ago. While his campaign will try to spin this development, it's a serious problem, and one that further illustrates that "severely conservative" Willard has no core "convictions" that can't be changed for political purposes.
