The Debates

Only time Rocky ever used a passive strategy was in Rocky 3. Every other time was the outmached aggressor who just outlasted his opponet.

I think you mean Rocky 4. In Rocky 3, wasn't the strategy to hit so hard, so fast that Lang would go down. I even remember Apollo saying that Rocky wouldn't last much more than three rounds at the pace he needed to go.

After he left Mr. T wear himself. He egged Mr. T on and than was passive and limiting the damage he took.
 

ROmneys Abortion "flop"

The Boston Globe on July 26, 2005 quoted Romney saying, "I am pro-life. I believe that abortion is the wrong choice except in cases of incest, rape, and to save the life of the mother. I wish the people of America agreed, and that the laws of our nation could reflect that view. But while the nation remains so divided over abortion, I believe that the states, through the democratic process, should determine their own abortion laws and not have them dictated by judicial mandate."[230] At the May 2007 Republican Presidential debate in South Carolina, Romney stated that "Roe v. Wade has gone to such an extent that we've cheapened the value of human life." He followed by saying "the people should make [the abortion] decision, not the court."[215] Romney's spokesperson has indicated that had Romney been the governor of South Dakota, he would have signed into law the controversial law banning abortion, but he would include exceptions for cases of incest or rape, which the South Dakota law excludes.[231]

Guns

In 2005, Governor Romney declared May 7 to be "Right to Bear Arms Day" in Massachusetts,[296] that date having been chosen to coincide with the annual banquet of the Gun Owners' Action League (a Massachusetts gun rights advocacy organization affiliated with the National Rifle Association).[297] Romney's top aides then began meeting almost monthly with members of the Gun Owners' Action League.[296]

In August 2006, just before declaring his candidacy for the 2008 Republican nomination for president, Romney joined the National Rifle Association (NRA) as a lifetime member.[290][298][299] Seeking the endorsement of the NRA, Romney made several statements during the campaign regarding his proficiency with and support for firearms

ALot of his healthcare "flops" are not flops at all.

Pre existing conditions where in the Romneycare act. You could possibly get him on the mandate but he changed that before obama changed his gay marriage stance.

If you want to say that he is doing it to get elected thatn I'd brign up the timing of Obamas pro-gay marriage announcement and his suspension of deporting certain illegals.

I would never argue that Romney's positions don't get simplified and mischaracterized; that is the nature of the media. Are you saying that the positions he is supporting now are all basically the same positions he took in 2011/early 2012 in the Republican primaries, or that he had said his positions were evolving? I'm not sure why you think this was parallel to that.

Obama campaigned against an individual mandate in his primary race, among many other flip flops. It's necessary to win the primary and general election, & I actually want the candidates to lie to their absurd wings before gravitating back toward center in the general election.
 
Which wing is more absurd?

Judging by the mouthpiece last night who couldn't wrap his pea brain around the notion that lowering rates while cutting deductions is revenue neutral on the rich?

In seriousness, the absurd right has been pretty marginalized the last ten years while the left has received a hall pass on just about everything. I'm going with them since all they have to do is lie to get off the hook.
