Because Romney clearly has both.Romnesia: (rom-NEE-zha) noun. From the Greek ??ύ??? (meaning 'liar.')
1. A mental dysfunction characterized by an apparent lack of memory over your own (unpopular) policies.
2. Claiming not to hold a position you've actually advocated previously because it will sink your chances of being elected.
3. The act of flummoxing your intelligent, rational debate partner by telling an outrageous, brazen lie on national television knowing that you'll never be held to account over it by the vapid national press.
4. The act of advocating a $5 trillion tax cut to your plutocratic base, and then claiming never to have heard the idea before when you're speaking in front of a broader audience.
See: False-centrista, pandering, liar
Mittzophrenia: (MIT-zho-FREE-NEE-ya) noun. From the latin LENOCINOR ('panderer')/ JANUS (latin two faced deity)
1. A mental dysfunction characterized by holding multiple, usually conflicting political positions at the same time.
2. To claim to be an 'independent' who voted for Dukakis when running for Mass. Senator, a moderate Republican when running for Mass. Governor, a 'severe conservative' when running for Republican Presidential Nominee, and a moderate Republican again when running for President, changing positions accordingly.
3. To say anything and everything you need to say to make a sale to an audience of very stupid people.
4. To find out whatever it is your (immediate) audience wants to hear, and claim to advocate it.
See: JANUS, the Roman god of two-facedness, 'forked-tongue' syndrome.
Etiology: both syndromes are the result of having a spoiled, wealthy, privileged background, resulting in feelings of ENTITLEMENT (ie-entitlement to the Presidency); and facilitated by a background in SALES/retail leading to the idea that you can get anything you want by saying whatever you think people want to hear.
PROGNOSIS: If not treated, these syndromes will cause BIG TROUBLE for the Nation. (Wars, economic ruin, loss of rights)
PRESCRIPTION: shut this assclown up and ship his spoiled ass to the Cayman Islands, so he can be with his money.
***No, I can't take credit for 'Mittzophrenia. I first saw it here:

(8,694 posts)2. with Mittzophrenia
the symptoms include panderizing rustodermititis, the hallmark of which is a strange orange greasy coloring of the face, when confronted by hispanic audience.
Romnesia on the other hand, is accompanied by purulent festering genital boils.

The tendency of your face to turn two shades browner whenever you're talking to an audience of latinos. I'd forgotten all about that, thanks for reminding me!
