This election cycle, Willard M. Romney has been repeatedly criticized for dodging reporters' questions (sometimes rudely) and flip-flopping on the issues. The Willard M. Romney of 2004 took a stance against being so "conflicted."
Speaking the Iowa Delegation to the Republican National Convention, the then-Massachusetts governor spoke out against then-presidential nominee John Kerry and his flip-flopping ways. He explained to the audience how the Massachusetts senator "is a person incapable of coming down firmly on one-side of a key issue," unlike any politician "that you have experienced before."
"He is drawn in two different directions, and very powerfully," said Romney. "He's with an audience he wants to identify with and satisfy that audience, and will say what he thinks they want to hear."
Romney ended his speech by sharing a Conan O'Brien joke, one he "thought was kind of cute," on Kerry's dating habits. Some things never change.

Willard "Mitt" Romney for President...Really??? C'mon folks, this dude makes the word "fake" sound authentic. Four years of that dude??? NOT. A Corporate Cyborg with no heart-chip (no "Core") installed. I know that many of you secretly racist caucasion folk are tired of the professorial black dude (Obama) being in authority, but to vote against your own 99% self interest (financially & Ideologically) for this this Corporate stooge, would be tragic and sad. No amount of racial animus SHOULD be worth that choice. Romney for President....Really People!!? C'mon. I got my issues with the "Cowardly lion-like" Obama too, but I'm not going to knowingly cut my own throat (financial & Ideologically) by sitting 2012 out or voting for Mr. Bain of my existence...eh hem, ...I mean Mr. Bain Capital, Willard "Mitt" Romney. C'mon people, let's push the President that we have. Yeah, I know he's a bit timid and vacillating, but Romney & Gingrich he is not. I welcome your hateful and your agreeable comments on my post. Just think about what I'm saying, would ya? Romney for President, C'mon people.
