The only question I have is who is more economically skilled, Romney or Palin. That is what it will come down to. Who can get us out of this mess? I believe that most people on that ONE issue would pick Romney. Sorry but that is just a fact. Throw everything else in and Palin would be the winner of the Republican nominee. Romney owned a successful company, Saved the Olympics, etc. Sorry but economically he is sound. Blast away!
The most important economic skill a president can have is knowing how to let the people run the markets. No other economic skill comes close to this one.
Romney doesn’t know how to do this, because he wants to control.
All the economic credentials in the world will not save this country. It will take a leader who can inspire Americans to accept the unbelievably tough choices that face this country in the years directly ahead.
Those that can't see that will naturally gravitate to the unprincipled Blue Bloods that have gotten us into this mess in the first place.
No thanks on Mitt Romney. Not now, not ever.
you asked: “who is more economically skilled, Romney or Palin.”
Romney encumbered not just the entire state of MA with state controlled, state mandated healthcare that is already proving to be a catastrophic financial failure, but he encumbered the U.S. taxpayer in order to pay for his MA boondoggle of a healthcare program. And I challenge you to show me anywhere that mitt romney has ever cogently explained his strategy/plans to revive the economy. He actually went on beta-joe scarborough earlier this year complaining/whining to beta-joe that “obama has not created any jobs”. Any businessman knows that they don’t want obama in the way lecturing about job creation. They want free market principles to apply, allowing the market to decide who the winners are, not some soft-handed politician or trust fund boy that was handed 37 million dollars in the mid ‘80’s to invest with. I’d write more but time doesn’t allow.
Ok here is my take.(Take it for what its worth)Romney is no conservative so therefore he is not grounded.He will be pulled to the left like he was a governor(ROMNEY CARE!) and as happened to bush senior as president with raising taxes(HE LOST.For what Palin may lack in economic prowess she more than makes up for it will her conservative views with regards to gubmint.I bet she can pick the very best economic advisor.She will shrink the size of gubmint just as Ronald Reagan did and noone else since.With the gubmint out of the way the economy will take off just as it did because of Reagans policy.The bushes are backing romney as all bluebloods do which is not surprising and is all I need to know.Comes down to having a country club blueblood running the country or a grounded conservative.Its up to you to decide which way you want to go.
And I'm sure that Sarah will be happy to hire him for some position where he can be of use to his country (assuming that's what he REALLY wants to do). But as far as Mitt being in the center seat, I don't think so.
