Other than not being Obama (which could end up being Romney's only strategy), I can't think of one positive thing about Romney. Yet, I can think of dozens of positives about Santorum.
If you belong to the “Anyone but Obama” crowd (and I do mean anyone), Santorum has a fighting chance against Obama. Romney has no chance.
I do agree that there isn’t one positive thing to say about Romney other than he isn’t Obama.
However, I cannot in good conscience vote to make a loose cannon like Santorum the chief law enforcement officer.
What If I get attacked by a black criminal and have to kill him in order to save my life?
Is Rick Santorum then going to proclaim me guilty of 1st degree murder?
Rick Santorum is a lawyer, and he doesn’t even seem to have a basic understanding of what defines 1st degree murder, nor does he understand due process or innocent until proven guilty.
I cannot vote for such a man, and quite frankly, much as I wish I could say something else, all the republican candidates are duds.
Amen to that. Not being Bush is exactly how John Kerry ran against Bush. We know where that got him.
Of course George W Bush cant even come close to how terrible Obama has been as President. I suppose we could consider that but I still don't like the idea of not having any ideas and simply running as the "Not Obama" candidate.
I like ideas. That's why I like Newt. I would vote for Santorum (no problem)if he won the nomination. I do not feel he could win the general election though.
Santorum has very shallow views on issues that are very important to the American people this election cycle. His small goverment ideas would be a plus though.
The Obama machine would crush Santorum. I can see it now. Santorum spending all of his time blaming the Obama machine for his being down in the polls and yelling in an anger-like voice during the debates. It wont be pretty.
On the other hand, there's Romney. Romney's a man who will say anything to get elected. He's the type to be pro-gay in San Francisco speeches and anti-gay in Texas. The man's a democrat running as a republican. Romney is NO different and no more conservative than Mayor Bloomberg. Sad but true.
Newt was the best chance we had.
If we end up with Romney then the 2012 election will be determined by how well or how badly Obama does in the campaigns. There's absolutely nothing positive I could tweet about Romney. No excitement at all for him. I will only be able to support a Romney candidate solely by advocating that others not give Obama another term.
I could not go door to door for Romney. I just do not share his ideals (whatever they are).
