He ran a multi-million dollar company from the ground up. He saved the Olympics. He is the best we have for the economy. As governor he was able to go from a budget deficite to a budget surplus. He might be sketchy on social issues which I don’t believe but it seems you do. He is the Reagan of our times and you are willing to waste it away picking canidates that are weak (McCain) and allowing the Democrats to win. Not a good strategy my friends.

What utter BS from you. You are truly a world class liar.

Can you read? Apparently not.

When Massachusetts' economy was roaring-- Romney busted it,
and got a "C"-rating from the Cato Institute.
And that was even before Romney's fascist socialist RomneyCARE was installed.

Romney also betrayed President Bush. Here are the facts.

"As U.S. real output grew 13 percent between 2002 and 2006, Massachusetts trailed at 9 percent.
* Manufacturing employment fell 7 percent nationwide those years, but sank 14 percent under Romney, placing Massachusetts 48th among the states.
* Between fall 2003 and autumn 2006, U.S. job growth averaged 5.4 percent, nearly three times Massachusetts' anemic 1.9 percent pace.
* While 8 million Americans over age 16 found work between 2002 and 2006, the number of employed Massachusetts residents actually declined by 8,500 during those years.
"Massachusetts was the only state to have failed to post any gain in its pool of employed residents," professors Sum and McLaughlin concluded.
In an April 2003 meeting with the Massachusetts congressional delegation in Washington, Romney failed to endorse President Bush's $726 billion tax-cut proposal."

By your logic, we should nominate George Soros or Warren Buffett because they are great investors...much more successful than Romney.

He saved the olympics by asking for federal aid.

You also can’t tell me that romneycare was fiscally conservative. What else comes to mind during his term...the Big Dig. OK...

First and foremost, I opposed McCain in the primaries, and did so because of his deserting conservatives on social issues just like Romney has.

Second, the question is this: what exact policies are you contending Romney wants to institute on a federal level, and what effect are you contending those policies would have on the national economy?
