Even during his own 2012 primary republican campaign Mitt Romney is strongly flip-flopping. One day he is going to kick out 12 million "illegals" ( during a television debate ) and a few days later he says the opposite in Florida in order to win the Latino vote in the sunshine state.
This is what Mitt Romney said in Florida. Exact Words :
“I’m very concerned about those who are already here illegally and how we deal with those 11 million or so,” Romney said. “My heart goes out to that group of people… We’re not going to go around and round people up in buses and ship them home.”
People in Anger ( 2012 style ) don't want a "Patrician Blue Blood" and "Wealthy Guy" from the Liberal North East, a member of the Highest Class and more exclusive social clubs of the Rich. This is 2012, year of fury, rage, wrath and crazyness. Many Republicans and Tea Party are mad and they don't want such fraud and fake Republican.
I do not share their misdirected and misguided anger and fury, but I can understand it. They are deceived like the guys that were told lies about candidate John Kerry during the 2004 presidential campaign.
Unfortunately Lies and Hypocrisy are very effective !
I got a lot of inspiration to write this note by reading the Huffington Post and one of my favorite political writers and author of books : Stephen of the Great Schlesinger dynasty of intellectuals.

The Republican Nightmare: A Third and Fourth Party?
Some excerpts :
As one assesses the Republican primary race, it seems increasingly evident that Mitt Romney will win the party's presidential nomination. But he will be inheriting a fractured party.
The Tea Party activists have over the past months all but declared that they detest Romney and won't forgive him because of his establishment credentials and moderate views. Herman Cain's recent endorsement of Newt Gingrich is one example of this. The heroine of the Republican right-wing, Sarah Palin, has come out and publicly backed Gingrich. So has one-time presidential contender, Texas governor Rick Perry. Is Rick Santorum next? And influential radio broadcaster Rush Limbaugh, while not outright endorsing Gingrich, is attacking Romney's advertising assaults against Gingrich.
