Romney is very much a moderate but the devil with politics is that as a nominee you have to at least give some lip service to the party platform. Does that make him "unprincipled"? I don't believe so....he's just politicking. I like that his main focus is going to on the economy, creating more jobs and opportunities for business instead of creating some massive entitlement that sink us financially faster than Medicare and social security combined.
I do find some irony that people on the left refer to Mitt's "moderateness" as though its bad and that voters should run from especially when he was the last choice for the tea party, conservative crowds. Just be grateful that its Romney and not Bachmann, Cain, or Santorum that has a 50% chance of getting elected next month to lead this country.
