Mitt Romney is the king of flip-flops. He does it so much that it’s almost pathological.
He not only flip-flops on political positions, but he also manages to do it on a personal level.
For Romney, the usual excuses of “times change,” “gotcha” moments, and “you’re taking it out of context” just don’t cut it.
Some people think Romney flip-flops all the time to curry political favor. They think that behind his George Clooney smile, perfect family, and impressive business record hides his raw and naked political ambition.
Indeed, Romney is the “résumé president” (except for his Mormon faith). He’s got everything you want in a candidate but something just seems off and voters sense it. He goes through the motions, does everything right, but can’t seem to connect with people.

And why is he running anyway? The love of his country? To right social wrongs he saw in his childhood? A sense of destiny from God? Or just raw political ambition, as many suspect.
Of course, we’ll know for sure if Romney is really just a ball of naked ambition masked with a perfect façade. If he is, he’ll never admit it.
Still, Romney’s robotic awkwardness and serial flip-flopping is just creepy, regardless of why he is that way.
Below are 10 classic Romney flip-flops. The list was chosen from mittromneyflipflops.com (which also contains the sources for the quotes).
'I saw my father march with Martin Luther King.'
'I did not see it with my own eyes.'
'I respect and will protect a woman's right to choose.'
