==Changes in his platform==
*Romney's critics attack his inconsistent track record on issues such as [[abortion]] and [[Homosexuality|gay marriage]] to the point where he has gotten the nickname "Multiple Choice Mitt." A man dressed as a dolphin calling himself Flipper has appeared at some recent conservative gatherings to bring attention to Romney's inconsistent stands on abortion and gay marriage. Although Romney now identifies himself as pro-life and anti-same sex marriage, he claimed to be pro choice and supported same-sex rights as late as 2002. These swaps coupled with his [[Mormon]] affiliation puts him at odds with much of the Evangelical right, but a PollingReport.com chart from September 2007 indicates that Mitt was still polling at approximately 10% within the GOP primary forecasts. <ref>http://www.pollingreport.com/wh08rep.htm</ref>
*Mitt Romney also changed his positions on [[gun control]]. He was originally for it, but recently joined the [[NRA|National Rifle Association]], an organization opposed to it.
*Following the split of the first three major elections in the 2008 primaries, Ron Kaufman, a top adviser to Romney, stated that the battle between the top three candidates "is going to be like the Bataan Death March." <ref>http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080116/ap_on_el_pr/republicans_analysis;_ylt=Agy5R06oAxPw90acSddkhiSs0NUE</ref>
The Bataan Death March resulted in the death of approximately 9,000 prisoners of war during World War II, and has been labeled as a war crime.
Rather than pass on these criticisms as if we endoresed them, let's just describre the changes in his platform.
In case anyone criticized him for '''making the changes''', we can say '''who''' made this criticism and '''on what grounds'''.
For example, Joe Beaverhead said Romney is a horse's ass for softening his stance on abortion. [insert real example and ref here] --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 15:10, 17 January 2008 (EST)
