(25,415 posts)1. Fascinating really.
I read the entire article and was just left scratching my head. Was Mittens pretending to be more centrist and moderate to get elected in Mass? Or was he really that person to begin with and then pandered to the right to win the nomination? It is hard to tell because nothing about this man feels genuine. Almost all politicians change around some positions to fit with their party but Mittens just did it in such a calculated way that it feels slimy.
