As David Dayen points out, one of the perils of non-stop flip-flopping is you might make a statement that’s fact-based and therefore likely to get you into trouble with the Republican “base.” For example, a statement addressing the truth about spending cuts.
Mitt flips, tells truth
The problem with lying is in keeping track of the lies.
Mitt said yesterday that he was going to reduce taxes on everybody by 20% when he became president. Including the top 1%. Today Romney’s people said that he was not going to cut taxes on the top 1% by 20%. He was actually going to raise their taxes by some unannounced percentage. Funny ventriloquist’s dummy this Romney fellow is.
