What is all the whining about? I for one am glad to know that Mitt's priority is not raising tax rates. I hope the death tax rates will be abolished, too. This is good medicine for the economy by enhancing capital formation. I want a capitalist in the White House, not a socialist Democrat.

I know, the guy comes out says he's pro life and against rasing taxes and he gets attacked. People keep forgetting Ronald Reagan was a Democrat once.

Keeping tax rates low will actually raise total revenues. Laffer curve and all that. Romney is also great at reducing unnecessary expenses given his experience with Bain Capital, the 2002 Olympics, and and the Mass legislature. Reducing the Federal Deficit is a priority for me, something we Republicans can do "for the children" whom the Democrats are always talking about.

You are entitled to your opinion, no matter how silly it might be.

As Jacob Weisberg of Slate.com put it in a recent blog

You quote the words of an avowed Liberal in a Liberal Magazine to tell conservatives how they should view Mitt???

[Rameumptom]

I agree. I never said Jacob Weisberg was middle America. But many middle Americans will read his words

Sorry cc Posted bfore I read the entire thread.

I think the "silly" opinion, is that there are people here who are "paid" to write bad things about Romney. In truth, I suspect the converse is more accurate: there are probably paid Romney staffers posting here.

But I wouldn't think of trying to discredit an opinion, solely on the basis of their motivation for posting. That's a classic ad hominem attack. You hear the Left use that kind of crap everyday: that Global Warming is real, because all the scientists who disagree, are "paid" by the oil companies.

Exactly how was your remark about "paid anti-Romney FReepers on this forum," any different than that? Ad Hominem is Ad Hominem, regardless of which side of the aisle you're on. I would hope those on the right side, were above that kind of nonsense.
