He really is setting himself apart from the pack. Win or lose, he's currently the only candidate out there offering specific ideas and solutions.

Better look again: Fred Thompson has many new ideas, solutions to problems and policy statements. http://www.ImWithFred.com or search for Fred Thompson on YouTube.

He is SUCH a CEO! I’ve worked for so many, and he just strikes me as an efficient, hard-driving CEO.

We just need to replace/get rid of mr gut” your crazy not to have signed on to the amnesty bill” feeling.

1. Remodel DHS to be more like the KGB;
2. Copy Hezbollah for social welfare outreaching;
3. Make Amtrak more like what Mussolini achieved;
4. Govern America like Romney did Massachusetts.

Well I guess its an improvement. If I had my way I would get rid of the entire “Homeland Security” department altogether along with the TSA and other entities pushed on the public during the hype of post-911. I frankly cannot see why the Defense Department cannot fulfill the role of “homeland security” as it did for over 200 years.

He also said we should model ourselves after Hezbollahstan. Sort of hard to know where his ideas are going sometimes.

[Rameumptom]

Restructuring companies is why he was called the best busienss man in North America. He is good at it.

[Dante3]

I agree with him on this important issue.

Mitt Romney pledges to personally lead a top-to-bottom review of federal government programs, agencies, procurement and spending to eliminate waste, inefficiency and duplication.

Heaven knows we need that.

FALSE You mean Duncan Hunter is the only candidate offering specific solutions.

Remember Mitt only offers ideas, bigger government ideas, like his Romney Care.

Romney says there's a lot of duplication of effort in Washington and he would like to "take the place apart" and put it back together -- smaller, simpler and smarter.

The first half would yield the greater benefit. Much of what is done Washington should not be done in Washington, and most that should not be done by government anywhere.

If he were president, Romney says he would shift department dollars from an emphasis on first responders to prevention through intelligence.

But the emphasis on response allows the Congress to play Red Cross, and spend billions of dollars of our money (a la Katrina) to buy themselves votes.

IMO most of the first responder role should remain with the states. Does not the National Guard (which is under the state) have the capability to do the big things that local government cannot? In the rare events (again Katrina) where the event overwhelms state resources (either because it is so large or, as in Louisiana during Katrina, the chief executive of the state is not up to the challenge), the National Guard can be federalized with Guard units from other states or regular military filling the breach.

While I wish Mitt were more conservative, I do not question his competence as an executive.
