I believe Mitt Romney to be just another opportunistic politician, willing to do whatever it takes to get himself elected. He changed his position on abortion to appeal to voters in Mass, and heartily agreed to sign on for the Massachusetts health plan.

One thing that has stayed with me since the Olympics in Salt Lake City: during the games, en route to attend an event in Park City, a security guard, performing his duties, was directing traffic when Romney’s motorcade came to the intersection. The poor guard, unfortunately for him, didn’t recognize who was in the car, and directed the motorcade where he was told to send the regular proles. Romney would have none of this, and personally exited the vehicle, berating the guard, using foul language, and used the “don’t you know who I am?” card repeatedly. When it was reported in the news, and there was a resultant firestorm of criticism, Romney “apologized” to the guard’s supervisor, not to the guard he publicly berated.

Conclusion: Romney is another elitist blue-blood, he has no underlying convictions or ethics, and he would do anything to get elected and stay elected.
