Mitt Romney: Invertebrate

CLAIM:
"Most people who have been successful in the public arena have a position that people understand and appreciate. It doesn't change depending on the crowd."
- Gov. Mitt Romney (R-MA) promoting what he says are his positive traits, 3/1/05

FACT:
"Governor Mitt Romney backed away yesterday from his proposal to give the state's top revenue official new discretion to pursue corporations that lower their tax bills by transferring profits outside Massachusetts, as national antitax groups chastised the governor for his broader, three-year quest to close what he calls tax loopholes benefiting corporations."
