Re: "Moderate Mitt Returns"

To the editor:



David Brooks hails the unveiling of a 'more authentic version' of Mitt Romney during the debate being the 'man (I think) he truly is' (Moderate Mitt Returns, 10/5/12).  Hope springs eternal for Mr. Brooks.  Are we really to believe that Governor Romney's attitude towards those in need was more truthfully conveyed in his televised performance than in his spontaneous comments to a group of his supporters? While I appreciate Mr. Brooks owning his view as his own, I regret that he is doing with his readership precisely what Governor Romney did in the debate - engaging in spin. I hope the American public can look at these contrasting images of Governor Romney and consider what is says about a man who can harbor such contradictory views.
