Honestly, I had completely forgotten that Mitt Romney existed. But after reading about his economic policies, I agree just about completely. However, I disagree with so many of his social policies (especially the death penalty), that I'm scared away from him. Obama's an awful choice as well.

I guess I'd vote for Romney, but I'd hate it.



 

 

I'd rather have Ron Paul myself.



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.

@Montana - Romney circa 1994 was very liberal. He still holds some liberal viewpoints on econ such as adjusting antiquated taxes for inflation but has adjusted for a national race. He will run. My friend was campaign manager for Barbara Comstock (recently elected GOP VA Delegate) and she was a top staffer for his campaign (basically it is a given to insiders that he will run). Also, doen't his PAC look like a campaign site even now? http://www.freestrongamerica.com/grade



I'd like to think that the American people would be nice enough to not vote for Mitt Romney because he's a giant douchebag. But the pessimist in me thinks that perhaps the American people would not vote for him because he's a Mormon.

Of course, if Obama fails to get Healthcare reform pushed through, his duck just might be cooked.

But come on, Romney is a commically weak candidate.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

Jan 10 PPP poll.

1000 sample; +/-2.8 MOE.

Romney is not a weak candidate in the least.  I would watch to see what he does this Dec (most likely he will turn FSA into an ExpComm).



What's that got to do with anything? There's no campaign right now. No one is listening to Romney's speeches and debates. The guy won't make the Republican candidate, let alone President.

Ugh, neither. Especially never again to B. Hussein Obama.



Everyone needs to play Lost Odyssey! Any opposition to this and I will have to just say, "If it's a fight you want, you got it!"

Given the choice... I'd probably vote Obama... because they both seem like poor choices...

and I'd rather not people bitch that Obama didn't get two terms so that's why stuff like his healthcare plan didn't work right... why we're still in both Iraq and Afghanistan and why FISA still hasn't been repealed.

Why doesn't anyone care that FISA hasn't been repealed?

 

Plus, as poor a President as Obama has been.  It hasn't been ALL bad... and I imagine him being president has had some helpful sociological benefits.

 

 



Still, I agree with Stof that if he passes THIS healthcare bill he's screwed.

I mean, it's so unpopular the Dems lost an election in the State that is for Universal Healthcare more than any other. (They in fact have their own.)

Not only that... but it was the seat of a beloved Democrat who's one great regret in life was he never accomplished Universal Healthcare. Ironically all he had to do to pass it was agree with the Nixon plan instead of his own. Richard Nixon's plan would actually be considered way left wing then Obama's current plan. Yet still I bet way more palatable to Republicans now a days.

The Republicans know this is his weakspot too... they keep hammering at him for not keeping his word. I just saw a senator say for like 20 minutes the other day "We should go back to what Obama said he wanted, renegotiate the whole thing and put C-SPAN cameras in there... open it up to the public."

The republicans are playing the transparency card on Obama. Not a good situation for him... really his problem is... he's let congress highjack his important legistlations and he doesn't want to look weak/lose congress support by getting the reigns on it. The Democratic Congress doesn't respect him...

I gotta hope he gets his balls back... I actually think he wanted to change washington... but he's let his own party bully him rather then act like the head of the Democratic party.

Ironically if the Democrats lose a crapload of seats in the midterm election... or in 2012... it may be the BEST thing for Obama... since the Congress won't be able to have so much sway over him anymore... and theoretically a lot of those replaced should be Republicans that lean Libretarian and would be willing to go along with some of the "change washington" stuff.
