I really like Romney highlighting a plan to reinvigorate our military. When respondents are asked if the candidate is conservative or some other label, the results are not statistically different than a candidate from a red state.

Forty percent of respondents consider Romney conservative while for example about forty-two percent consider a red state candidate conservative.

Consider our recent crisis of immigration, threat of terrorism, and uncertainty of foreign affairs, I’m not too keen on what exactly a real conservative is.

When I look at the record of the newest Washington insider to enter the campaign for nomination, I see a candidate from a safe state that spent decades planning and executing poorly thought-out legislation of chain migration that pandered to the cronism of Washington.

Then you have some in leadership positions that ran away from confronting their state’s medicare problems. And the state had to call in a McKinsey or a Bain to tell them their system was broken.

I don’t even begin to understand those conservatives with their friend McCain that brought us campaign finance reform.

You said “I really like Romney highlighting a plan to reinvigorate our military.” Highlighting a plan? His statement is highlighting a plan....not. He has no plan.

I like that Mitt has said in no uncertain terms the illegals are going home. He has a concrete plan.

I don't want to hear vague promises by a politician who says that "people of good will will sit down together and work it out." That's a cagey way of saying amnesty. Those of us who don't agree will be bigots and people of bad will.
