Funny little cartoon, I like it more that it does not focus on his religion, but on the real problem with his candidacy, constant flip -flopping. In an election where minorities are the majority of candidates, and where the microscope has never been so deliberate on the attributes of those running, I think it is really important to keep the attention on the type of politician a man, or woman is, rather than the type of beliefs or physical characteristics of the person. In the beginning, after reading the series of Mitt Romney from the class website, I actually grew quite fond of him. He does not share all the same political beliefs that I do, but I liked his business acumen and his determination to overcome tough odds, such as the 2002 Winter Olympic games, and running for Governor of Massachusetts, a state dominated by Liberal ideology. Then came the stories of his reluctance to answer questions about his religion, which even though I discourage the idea of that serving any importance, I do not belief he should run from the critics, as well as his inability to stick with one side. I understand he has a struggle right now to maintain votes and he wants to please as many people as possible before the primaries, but I do not think that changing your mind whenever someone new asks you a question is any better than sticking with one choice regardless of who agrees. At least the media was able to take some of the pressure off Mitt in regards to his religion, but Mitt is on his own with this latest obstacle.
