Can anyone name one position Romney has not flipped on?

[JEDIYoda]

The only thing that comes to mind is not raising taxes but a recent non partisan study from a group Romney himself has cited says his plan would raise taxes on the middle class.

Perhaps his refusal to release more then one year of taxes. I think public pressure will force a flip on that also.

perhaps the doggy position???

This is an awesome thread until you realize that A.) All politicians flip-flop more often then not on many issues and B.) Obama, Romney's opponent has also flip-flopped on various issues when it was not deemed politically expedient to retreat.

I am sorry, what part of "Do you have a link with him saying that?" did you not understand? Your opinion is already well known on this forum and proven wrong 1000 times. It's getting old.

Well, at least you have "deliberately obtuse" down pat, along with a self sealing state of denial.

Do I have a quote?

Did you really expect he'd say "I got mine- screw you"?

Does Romney not use offshore tax havens?

Is something I said about his tax plan not covered here?

http://www.mittromney.com/issues/tax

Did he not exploit the carried interest tax loophole?

http://www.cnbc.com/id/46115127/Romney_s_13_Million_Carried_Interest_Bonanza

Did he not pick Ryan as his running mate, whose tax proposals are as I offered?

http://www.theatlantic.com/business...ercent-in-taxes-under-paul-ryans-plan/261027/

But that's just "my opinion", which has been "proven wrong 1000 times"? Really?

Which bizzarro world in what rightwing-o-verse do you come from, anyway?

One last time. I will go back to your original post.

Romney obviously endorses offshore tax havens by using them, doesn't he? What segment of the American population benefits from that, other than the rich?
.

It's his money. He can do with it whatever the hell he want to. It's not your money. Keep your paws off.

Romney has proposed that federal estate taxes be eliminated, obviously benefiting the extremely wealthy & nobody else.

Also refered to as the death tax which is a double taxation of money and a very unpopular tx. You already got taxed when you made it, you shouldn't have to get taxed when you give it to someone. It's not your money. Keep your paws off.

Romney has proposed reductions in the corporate tax rate, even though the effective rate is now at the lowest since WW2. Corporate coffers are already bulging with cash.

So you propose raising taxes during troubled times? We have never taxed our way out of a recession and we never will.

he's proposed that the max tax rate on earned income be reduced from 35% to 28%. Who benefits from that?
.

Anyone making $200K a year which really isn't exactly striking it rich after state, local and sales taxes. It's not your money. Keep your paws off.

Romney's own fortune was amassed as a PE manager, with the carried interest tax break in that being huge, and his Bain pension is taxed under the same scheme. It's not like he's offered to give that up, or that anybody else should do so, either. Who benefits from that?

Who should? It's not your money. Keep your paws off.

Repubs have become the party of the Rich, for the Rich, and by the Rich w/ delusional hangers-on.

I'm pretty sure you're not rich.

No I am not rich, but here is what the republicans have done for me.

Just because policies benefit the rich, doesn't mean they only benefit the rich.

I have no problem with a politician flipping on an issue, in fact when conditions dictate its a good thing. and yes almost all politicians flip on a few issues when it suits them.

Point with Romney he flips back and forth on every single issue depending on who he is talking too and his future aspirations.

Heh. You didn't go back to my original post, at all. With the rest, you might as well be chanting Mah Munny! Mah Munny! Mah Munny! for all the sense it makes.

Repubs have cut taxes? So what? That's piss-poor compensation for the loss of national income share suffered by median families due to Repub policies.

Here's the deal- instead of a 40% raise over 30 years, you got a 40% income tax cut.

Meanwhile, Mitt Inc. got a 300%+ raise, and taxcuts of their own.

Mitt's retired on $2M/mo, and you're ashamed to claim EITC to better feed your kids.

Figure it out.

It has already been proven to you several times yet you keep bouncing back to it. Median income dropped in the 70's well before the repub policies you blame it on went into action.

"Here's the deal- instead of a 40% raise over 30 years, you got a 40% income tax cut." The government is not responsible for my raises and I wouldn't want them to be.

 

[airdata]

I believe this was covered extensively during the primaries. Dolts however chose to ignore the information because Ron Paul was the person putting it out and we can't have somebody speaking the truth in office.

It's truly sad that Ron Paul is the "crazy" candidate and Romney isn't. At least Paul has clear positions. We still have no idea what Romney's deal is. He's a wild card on almost every issue.

So, uhh, who was elected prez in 1968? in 1972? Were there any other economic shocks at the time, like the end to the Vietnam war & oil embargoes, the assertion of power by OPEC? The Iranian revolution?

By your own charts, the partial decline took place in the early 1970's, with Repub leadership. Every sharp decline took place under repub leadership. Inconvenient, I'm sure.

And it's not like Jimmy Carter was some sort of New Dealer, either. He deregulated the airlines, for starters, even as Marquette vs First of Omaha set off a race to the bottom wrt usury laws. Clinton adopted many Repub ideas, as well. One of Repubs fave whines at the time was that "He stole our Issues!"

Govt is responsible for establishing the rules of play in the marketplace, and those rules have clearly favored the uber-wealthy over all other groups for the last 30 years. The proof is in the results.

[soulcougher73]

His refusal to release his tax records

Im sure he will flip flop and eventaully release them under pressure. You know..once his lackeys doctor them up and what not.

 

[GarfieldtheCat]

I think the only position he hasn't flip-flopped on is his promise to not stop flip-flopping.

I'll bite:

Romney

 

[Mursilis]

I don't think the second implies the first. I'd bet the vast majority of Americans would use whatever legal means available, including offshore tax havens, to shield their wealth, if they had it, regardless of whether they think it's sound policy. It's not like overpayment of taxes is a huge issue in the US.

Well, we can take coffee off that list:

"NANTUCKET, Mass. (AP) — Mitt Romney joins other observant Mormons in shunning alcohol and coffee. He apparently draws the line at ice cream.

The Republican presidential candidate ordered coffee ice cream at Millie’s restaurant in Nantucket Saturday when he bought treats for his staff and mingled with diners. His aides selected flavors including vanilla, rocky road, butter pecan and birthday cake ice cream.

It’s not clear that Romney took more than a bite or two as he shook hands and posed for pictures in the crowded and buzzing vacation eatery.

Mormons traditionally avoid alcohol and caffeine.

Romney aides shrugged off the selection, saying the candidate can have whatever kind of ice cream he likes."

http://www.boston.com/news/politics...e-ice-cream/gk97LWSGEqjZUEtKU3vcVL/story.html

In the grand scheme of things, this essentially meaningless stumble means nothing, it's just that it was avoidable and self-inflicted.
