Remember when Obama said he was closing Gitmo... ?
There is a very big difference between complete ideological flips and running into the political realities of difficult pledges. This is not to say that any politician SHOULD actually be so steadfast that they never change their mind (God, I would hate a person who is so obstinate as to never change their opinion), nor is it to say that any of the previous presidents never changed their minds (you can find examples of all of these things). But what Romney has done is largely an about-face because of the current GOP climate, moving from a very middle of the road, very liberal conservative to very suddenly being a staunch defender of Tea Party values. These are politically motivated switches, not the changing of one's mind over a period of years, not the falsely attributed inconsistency that is personal growth. This is why people are so frustrated by Romney.
All that being said, though, I would FAR rather Romney in office than Gingrich or Paul. I'd be even happier with Huntsman, but that is never going to happen. The poor fool believes in science.
Eh... watch any debate containing Obama from late 2008 and you see the same thing. Romney is trying to win the nomination and influence Independent voters. This is just the reality of ridiculous politics in our country right now.
I would be perfectly fine with Huntsman in office, to be honest. It's frustrating that he doesn't stand a chance right now.

United Kingdom is not a country.
Yay, the side taking shit slinging is already beginning. I hate election years. Everyone is a concerned expert citizen who know what is best.
I think you see it much less. It most definitely was happening, and it has happened with every president, this I agree wholeheartedly. I simply feel that the changes Romney has affected in presenting himself feel very disingenuous.
I don't agree but seeing as this point is relatively subjective, it's not really worth
It's not the point of the video and you know it. The process involved firing people, liquidate assets and file for bankrupcy. This was no accident or bad luck, it's what they call "creative destruction". Destroy jobs and industry for quick profit is fair game. You know very well that some of the companies you mentioned would also be killed, if that were the most profitable thing to do.

Huntsman is done muphuckas
No, I don't. You now have a case of four companies where the people who worked there think this happened. Good job.
Now watch this video.
Three out of the four companies stayed in business for more than 3 years after Bain Capital acquired them. Two of the companies mentioned were purchased by other entities for more than 10 times the money that Bain Capital took out of them. Two of the companies had no problems prior to Romney leaving Bain.
This is just another case of people twisting the truth to fit whatever ridiculous point they are trying to make. The other GOP candidates are blaming Mitt Romney for being a capitalist in one hand and then clamoring for more capitalism in the other hand. Height of hypocrisy.
