Mitt Romney has held so many positions over the years that calling him a "moderate" is a concession to civility, at best.

Were he to be elected by the money of the Koch brothers and the impetus of the Tea Party and the birthers, they would most definitely call the tunes for him.

In short, they'd walk him like a dog.

Oh rly? So if Obama was to be reelected by the money of George Soros and the impetus of the occupy anarchists, would they most definitely call the tunes for Obama? No, the democratic politicians are totally not about that, that's just a republican thing, right?

If President Obama had the history of shifting policy positions that Romney does (even minus the glaring examples of the last two weeks) you might have a comparative point to consider. Given that he hasn't, your apples-to oranges comparison doesn't hold.

I'm talking about being swayed by political contributions, etc, not just policy shifts (even though Obama has had policy shifts i.e, gay marriage). I take it you're not familiar with the whole Solyndra scandal that cost us half a billion dollars? So yes, my comparison does hold because Obama has been bought.
