Letter: Chameleon
Mitt Romney has changed color again! In the recent debate he effectively changed, and few even recognized it. Damn good chameleon!
In Massachusetts, when running for Senate, Romney was pro-abortion and for women’s rights. Color: dark blue. Now he is pro-life, abhors abortion and is mum on women’s rights. Color: Deep South red.
As Massachusetts governor, he worked with the Democratic state legislature for near universal health care. He thought it wonderful: American apple pie with cream. Color: a pretty blue. Now he calls it poison, his angry face a rightwing Republican red.
Two weeks ago, he was cutting taxes for the rich, which left his budget in the red. In the debate, he started closing unspecified loopholes (though not too many for the very rich!) to try to balance his budget. His budget is still in the red, though he colors it purple, to attract independents.
A low-tax supporter, he left Massachusetts $1 billion in debt, with increased taxes. Makes one go green and vomit!
Romney is one persistent color as he turns around. Those who do not recognize it make a big mistake. He has no courage and no firm convictions but changes them to suit the audience. Anything to win! Color him yellow. He simply displays cowardice and avarice.
Big Bird likes catching chameleons and dropping them from a dizzy height. No problem for Romney. He is filled with hot air.
