Video: Mitt Romney publicly supports Audit the Fed. Poll: Do you believe him?

In a clear nod to Ron Paul’s growing influence within the Republican party, today Mitt Romney publicly took a stand in favor of auditing the Federal Reserve at a town hall in New Hampshire. Do you believe him? Vote in our poll, below.

Very plain and simple, the answer is yes. The Federal Reserve should be accountable. We should see what they’re doing.

However, Mitt Romney did maintain the status-quo position of “keeping the Fed independent.”

I don’t want to have Congress run the Fed, by the way. I want to keep it independent…There are very few groups that I would not want to give the keys to. One of them is Congress.

Is this just another flip-flop or do you believe him?
