http://search.yahoo.com/r/_ylt=A0oG...s-Romney-Turnaround-Utah/2012/02/01/id/426250 Big difference in media view in 1998 as opposed to today. Didn't realize he was such a cheapskate. If he did to our economy what he did to the 2002 winter olympic budget we'd all be in trouble i guess. Dirty ass mormons. Lazy non-working wife. All he cares about is his own paycheck and doesn't give a shit about the taxpayers. Maher/Moore for Pres/VP!!
I don't see how anyone can be realistically thinking about voting for Mitt Romney. He says he knows how to create jobs when his venture capitalism does nothing but eliminate jobs and put dough in his own pocket. He cares nothing for the common man, and if he is elected I will seriously think about moving to Canada.
I swear I'll never understand the knock on a guy who turned inefficient bankrupt companies around and made them successful. It's bizarre.
He's exactly the kind of a guy you would look for to be a corporate CEO. I'd never knock that. But a President does not operate like a CEO and his job is not to run a corporation. He runs one of three government branches with checks and balances. He can't just order stuff done and fire anybody who disagrees. The best Presidents have had long political records including holding national offices, something we have a track record to go by. Romney had no national political track record and his state political record is one he conducted as a moderate and yet denies it all now. Will the real Romney please stand up. The only CEO with no national political track record that we have elected was Jimmuh Cahtah. How did that work out? I just don't trust Romney. He won't answer straight questions. He sounds like a TV used car salesman, not a statesman. And I don't think he's all that bright.
Honestly, I think Romney is still a moderate but, Lord knows, he could have never received the Republican nomination if he ran as a moderate. Every now and then he slips and makes a comment like, "Well, of course we cannot just slash spending right away.....that would throw the economy into a depression," and the real Romney stands up. You can tell that his "handlers" are encouraging him to be non-specific about policy issues because he virtually refuses to take a stand on anything of substance like immigration. Instead, he has made his entire campaign the "Obama is bad" campaign without providing details about what he would do. For this reason alone he will not beat Obama in November. It will be close becaue there is a great deal of Obama anger out there but Romney will not be our next President.
Your boy was a senator for two years. I'll take a governor, head of the olympics, etc over a community activist when you're talking about experience. And if you trust any politician, you're dense.
and the only thing he's done is improved his golf game and cost taxpayer another 5+ trillion dollars.
blah blah blah blah blah......he played his 100th round since taking office last week. 100 rounds of golf over the course of roughly 1300 days in office which, by my calculations means that he has played golf 1 day out of ever 13 days. This is roughly once every two weeks. When you are President you do not have to wait to tee off either so I doubt that a round of golf amounts to more than 2-3 hours ever two weeks. I think the guy, whether Republican or Democrat, deserves that and I do not consider that too much. You are correct, the national debt has increased by 5 trillion or so since he took office. Do you know how much of that is due to the two unfunded wars, tax cuts and medicare part D that he inherited from the "fiscally conservative" Republicans? In the neighborhood of 2 trillion by conservative estimates, more like 3 trillion by more liberal estimates. Either way, please stop acting like Obama cranked up 5 trillion of spending since his first day in office because it hasn't exactly gone down like that. You add another trillion and a half for bank and auto bailouts that were do or die situations resulting from the policies of GWB and suddenly Obama doesn't look like such a wild spender after all. Listen man, we all get it: NO ONE LIKES DEFICIT SPENDING OR NATIONAL DEBTS! The point that I, and Red, have been trying to make is that we are currently in no position to stop spending in a hastily conceived way. We have to wind down the wars, we have to change the tax codes and raise taxes on everyone, we have to reform entitlements and slash defense spending but we have to accomplish all of this in a well timed manner or risk throwing the economy into further despair.
