Forums - Politics - If Mitt Romney Wins and does a good job.

Honestly, for Romney to do a good job in my mind he's going to have to piss off a whole bunch of his voting base. But if he decides to go back to being more socially liberal and fix some of the issues we have on that end, then sure I'd vote for him in 4 years.

Decreasing people on welfare doesn't mean we're improving the states. It really depends who you're cutting when you cut on these programs.

Also your statement makes little to no sense at all. Just because a candidate is in office when things start to get better doesn't mean the candidate is responsible. His opponent in four years could very well be much more appealing.

 I would argue getting people off welfare does indeed improve the state of things. Just because a candidate is in the office when things are starting to get better does not mean he is not responsible for it.


If you take people off of food stamps who need it at least temporarily, you are hindering their ability to help the economy grow.  There's no sure way to only eliminate people who are abusing the system.  Not only that, but the welfare system accounts for a very small portion of the debt.  It's a much better idea to focus on finding ways to create jobs than to cut people on welfare.

Make those applying for food stamps take a drug test and make anyone benefiting from said food stamps under that household take a drug test too.

So you're under the assumption that all people who are doing drugs that have food stamps and/or on some kind of welfare are abusing it?  I doubt it.

Why does everyone assume he means throw people off of welfare. that is not what was said. There could be less people on welfare because the economy gets better and they get better jobs and get themselves off of welfare.


It is the correct assumption due to the fact that it's completely obvious and the only reason to state it is to mean to throw people off of it.  There was no point in talking about it at all if you include "improving the economy."  It's especially obvious he meant that when the post he made was so short, it's really barely anything.

While I don't think drug tests on everyone on food stamps is an economically viable solution, I do think that if you're on food stamps, and are spending some of your money on drugs when you supposedly can't buy food I think you're by definition abusing the food stamps.

Yes, saving the earth is worse than slavery, the Inquisition, the Holocaust, the Armenian Genocide, Stalin's 5-year plans, the Great Leap Forward, and the Crusades

Your opinion is wrong. You will retract that hyperbole now.

As opposed to like genocide or military imperialism?

Anyway, as for the OP, it would take more than an economic turn-around, which would probably have little to do with either president.  However, if Romney were to actually do a good job, and if he does not attempt to push across hard-line conservative social laws, then I would vote for him.  I think he's a moderate at heart in a lot of ways, anyway.
