My issue with Romney is not knowing or trusting his position on almost every issue.

Yup on this. Stewart pointed out that during one of the debates, Perry called him out for hiring undocumented workers. Romney explained the lawn contractor thing, how his contractor hired them indirectly, and how Romney fired the contractor as a result. His reason? He said, "I'm running for office."

Not "hiring undocumented workers is illegal." Not "you should personally be ashamed of taking advantage of these men." Not any reason but that he, Mitt Romney, was the only person worthy of consideration because he was running for office.

Jon Stewart said it was like the mask dropped just a little, and for a moment we could see the real Romney. Everything else seems just a calculated facade.
