Like Father, Not Like Son: Romney Gets Mocked as “Erratic” by His Father’s Longtime Aide
Mitt Romney’s father, George Romney, was lauded as a principled conservative with strong core convictions. His son, on the other hand, is seen as a totally vacuous 
candidate.
Mitt Romney has reinvented himself throughout his life, behaving as a moderate while Governor of Massachusetts, then remaking himself as a “severe conservative” for the 2012 election.
Now a long time aide of George Romney has come out against Mitt Romney in a stinging 700 word essay, accusing Mitt Romney of shifting his policy positions in “erratic and startling ways”.
Walter De Vries, who worked with Mitt Romney’s father throughout the 1960s, wrote that Mitt Romney’s bid for the White House was “a far cry from the kind of campaign and conduct, as a public servant, I saw during the seven years I worked in George Romney’s campaigns and served him as governor.”
“While it seems that Mitt would say and do anything to close a deal – or an election,” he wrote, “George Romney’s strength as a politician and public officeholder was his ability and determination to develop and hold consistent policy positions over his life.”
Mr. De Vries continued, “George would never have been seen with the likes of Sheldon Adelson or Donald Trump.”

Yes, Romney Hood is erratic. People who worked with him when he as Gov. of MASS…called him a “control freak” and talk about how he had to have his own private elevator…had to control where people sat…etc. We have observed him change like a chameleon. Check out the details of his TAX PLAN –

Did you see how foul Romney acted in the townhall debate? That shows clearly how screwed up he is. He was sickening. Romney bullied the moderator, broke the rules about how the candidates were not to ask each other questions…and really tried to run the show. Candy schooled Romney.
