My position is that using the change mantra alone rings hollow.
Bush tried to peddle “compassionate conservativism” and I found it didn’t stir me from my seat to rush to the polls.
Unless you can examine a candidate’s history and at the same time examine their new proposals, there is nothing to vote for.
I find that people vote FOR things, not against.
But he isn't. Romney is specifying some things that the Republicans need to change. Spending, border enforcement and ethics. If you'll note, those are EXACTLY the three things that were being cited here on FR as the cause for the Republican defeat in 2004.
Try ignoring the fact that this comes from a candidate you don't support, and look at the actual proposal. If it were Hunter or Thompson saying this, would you be kicking, or agreeing?

Exactly. I have problems with Romney's history and problems with Thompsons lack of new policy proposals.
