You may think that Romney may not be the best representative the Republicans could have selected. At least I know what religion he is, and that he won't desecrate the flag, bow down to foreign powers, or practice fiscal irresponsibility. I know he has the ability to turn this financial debacle that the current regime has gotten us into. We won't like all the things necessary to recover from this debt, but someone with Romney's background can do it. But, on the minus side, He never was a "Community Organizer", never took drugs or smoked pot, never got drunk, did not associate with communists or terrorists, nor did he attend a church whose pastor called for God to ........ the US.

And while on the Obama subject, how about a list of Obama’s accomplishments. What businesses did he start, or run, or even work at?

Yes Sam many good things about him. He also supported abortion and gay rights as Governor of Mass. Ok he said he was wrong back then we can forgive. However just a few months ago he said he was fine with gay couples adopting children.

No way.

Any man that would be that callous and throw innocent children into the custody of homosexuals certainly does not need to be President.

Is he better than Obama? Sure. That dont mean I must vote for him.

I'm not voting Republican until they learn to straighten out their progressive selves. If they never do that, fine. Let it sink or swim without me. I don't care anymore. They will have a real revolution on their hands in time to come.

Romney isn't going to fix what is broken. But, good luck with that anyway.

For a little clarity - what I am trying to say is that even if Mitt wins, we will still be facing many problems that have crept into our society over the past 50 years. Because of Mitt's flip-flopping record, I don't believe he is the man to fix any of it. Some of his past policies have contributed to the problem. We need someone who can go bold and Mitt is not it.

Nailed it! I believe we need to make a switch.

Romney's Tax Confusion

For conservative optimists who think Mr. Fehrnstrom misspoke or is merely dense, his tax absolution gift to Mr. Obama was confirmed by campaign spokeswoman Andrea Saul, who tried the same lame jujitsu spin. In any event, Mr. Fehrnstrom is part of the Boston coterie who are closest to Mr. Romney, and he wouldn't say such a thing without the candidate's approval.

Perhaps Mr. Romney is slowly figuring this out, because in a July 4 interview he stated himself that the penalty now is a "tax" after all. But he offered no elaboration, and so the campaign looks confused in addition to being politically dumb.

Mr. Romney promised Republicans he was the best man to make the case against President Obama, whom they desperately want to defeat. So far Mr. Romney is letting them down.
