"Romney seems to have the ability like the joke about a great diplomat-- he'll tell her to go to hell but have her looking forward to the trip."

Yes, very much like Reagan.

“Or maybe it was the inundation of homosexual propaganda that filled the public schools of Massachusetts during Romney’s four years as Governor.”

That was going on long before Romney became Governor.

Gov. Romney said he would increase the military budget, from 3.6 percent of our GNP to 4 percent. He said he would increase troop levels from 1.5 to 1.6 million people, an increase of 100,000, this is where his budget savings would go

I'll give you the short and sweet of an analysis of the above statement.

Romney, says he would increase the military budget The budget, is more than payroll, equipment plus. Any action on the budget will have to approved by congress. This a Mitt wet dream.

Next even if he asked congress for a payroll increase, and it was approved, no guarantee he could increase the troop levels.

His reference to the GNP is used car salesmen speak. Most voters don't know what GNP stands for or how it is computed.
