Most of Mitt Romney's famous flip-flops have come over a period of years, as he ran to the left in his Massachusetts races and is now running hard right away from that record for a national Republican primary. So this 1 minute, 13 second video of a recent campaign appearance is probably a record. Romney begins his response to a question about Social Security by saying quite firmly:

"I'm not in favor of privatizing Social Security or making cuts."

Twenty seconds later, though, it was a different story:

Romney: "The two major paths we have are one, to raise taxes on people, which I don't want to do, and the other is to allow some portion of people's money that they are are now having taken out of their salary to be invested in Social Security, have some of that be allowed by them to be invested." Questioner-"That's privatization." Romney - "You call it privatization, I call it a private account."

In fact, the second Mitt was the one telling the truth here - he's a big fan of Social Security privatization, though he prefers to use the Bush-approved language of "personal accounts." Good for his questioner here for calling him on his attempt to play language games.
