Romney is a Crosby, Stills, and Nash fan, I guess.

While on the campaign trail today, Mitt Romney showed his true side, both of them. In a one-on-one interview for a national audience, when asked to show an example of his compassion and empathy for everyday people, Mitt used as an example the Universal Health Care Law he signed as governor of Massachusetts. Then, less than an hour later, he spoke at a GOP Romney/Ryan rally and said that the thing that best showed President Obama's love of government over personal initiative is: The Universal Health Care Law signed by the president. Which, of course, was based on Romney's own health care bill. Now, while some are finding this an incredibly fast case of flip-flopping, I happen to think that actually, he is just a Crosby, Stills, and Nash fan. You know the song: Love the one you're with. In other words, Mitt thinks that it's okay to say whatever you think the person in front of you wants to hear. To a group that wants to hear the most conservative, anti-Obama ideas available, that's what Mitt will give them. To a group that believes in moderation and doesn't believe in right-wing dogma, Mitt will give them that.
Yes, the song said that if you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with. And in Mitt's case, it's if I can't be with someone who agrees with what I believe, I'll believe in what the people I'm with believe in. Unfortunately, Mitt, that's also being called being spineless. Ask any woman. Oh, that's right, the GOP doesn't believe that women should have certain rights, like equal pay. I guess you really are a Crosby, Stills, and Nash fan.
