Romney Defends His Flip-Flops: It’s Not Every Issue I’ve Changed My View On…

Only the ones that matter.

(ABC News) — For Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney today responded head-on to critics who say he flip-flops on issues, telling a crowd at a New Hampshire town hall that “it’s not that every single issue I’ve looked at my entire life I’ve never changed my view on.”

While Romney never mentioned chief rival Texas Gov. Rick Perry by name, he certainly seemed to be referencing him in answering a question from a voter asking how to respond to those who question Romney’s candidacy.

Romney at first joked, “Let me give you some brass knuckles, that should help.”

“In the private sector, if you don’t change your view when the facts change, you’ll get fired for being stupid,” Romney added.

    Who are the poll respondents who consistently rate him the top vote getter? It’s maddening! If I didn’t believe in the integrity of polling organizations and those that commission these polls, I might think that something was amiss. /s

    Who supports Romney? Well, the DNC, the media-including Fox, and the RNC. They over sample dems on polls, and they write unflattering stories about Perry while ignoring Cain. At the debates, they ask leading questions to every candidate, but throw softball questions to Romney and Huntsman-and Huntsman really does not even have the numbers to justify him being in the debates.
