Mitt Romney: Flip-Flopper or the Answer for Conservatives

Before beginning my study on former Governor Mitt Romney's website, most of what I knew of him came from various news sources. I had heard that he was a Pro-Gay and Pro-Choice governor, but now has switched on those stances over the past few years and is now casting himself as a true conservative. While this doesn't bother me, because people can change their ideas and beliefs over time (I know mine certainly have) it does bother me that it has not gotten the negative connotation of flip-flopping that Gore received in 2000. Then Governor Bush charged and the media incessantly reported that Gore was a flip-flopper on many issues, and that hurt him in the end. Again, I don't think Romney should be labeled this, it is just an observation that this label has largely been unable to stick to Gov. Romney like it did to V.P. Gore. Oh, and that he's a Mormon, which can be discussed in greater detail in other articles. I am not going to delve into whether or not religion should come into play when electing a President (at least not in this article).
