Mittens, The Shape Shifter



When narcissistic plutocrat Willard "Corporations Are People" Romney speaks these days, he wants you to believe he's now reborn as Willard 3.0, Champion of the Poor.  Just two years ago, he was caught on video disparaging "47%" of Americans that he views as moochers and "dependent on the Government." He claimed that minority and young voters wanted to reelect President Obama because he gave them "gifts," in the form of Government programs and tax breaks.  His 2012 running mate that he chose and embraced, Rep. Paul "Lyin'" Ryan, was responsible for proposing a budget that the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops denounced as failing the "moral test" of protecting the poor.

As we saw in 2012, Mittens was willing to dump on his record as a moderately conservative governor, and proclaim himself "severely conservative," running to the right of such reactionaries as Rick "Frothy Mix" Santorum and Newt "Poot" Gingrich.  An advisor of his compared Mittens' strategy to an Etch-A-Sketch toy, where he would win the nomination by appealing to the far-right mouth breathers in the base, and once he was nominated, reboot as an electable, moderate conservative.  In other words, Mittens would be whatever it took to win the nomination and the election, because as we know, it's all about Mittens and his messianic belief that he's entitled (dammit!) to be President, regardless of what the moochers voters keep telling him.
