JohnnyD, I do not know much about what Romney did as governor, if that is what you are referring to. But since you are not one here who is prone to lies or exaggerations, I believe you that Romney has done some pandering.
I don't see that he's doing much pandering now. Did you see the speech he gave at the NAACP last month? Zero pandering. I mean, you and I both know that the easiset thing in the world for a politician to do is pander, and tell them what we know they wanted to hear. Romney did the opposite, telling the audience that what he was promising was the opportunity for them to rise out of poverty if they were willing to work for it. It was a very brave speech, which is why he got booed.
Biden spoke to the same audience a few days later, and right out of the liberal playbook, he told the NAACP that none of the poverty was any of their fault, and that they better be afraid of the GOP who wants to keep them in poverty forever (as opposed to welfare, which has done such a great job in eliminating poverty).
Johnny, I have zero doubt that your claim (that Romney has been a panderer) is valid. But I also believe you give credit where it's due...he sure as hell didn't pander to the NAACP, and it might have been politically wise for him to pander to them...
