You mean as Governor of my state?
People can make arguments on both sides as to whether he was a good Governor, but I can tell you one thing for sure, after doing his time, he not only abandoned the state, he made fun of it while doing so. He did absolutely nothing to help Lt. Governor Healey campaign against Deval Patrick, Obama's good friend. The Governorship amounted to nothing more than lines on a resume for him, and you think that gives him an edge over someone who not only supported Reagan, which Romney didn't, but carried those principles to the House of Representatives, which in itself was an historic achievement.
What has Romney ever done to further conservatism in any way. Who has he voted for and supported that would indicate he has any core conservative principles.
What has he ever done or said that would lead you to believe he could articulate...clearly, concisely, and agressively...the distinction not only of himself to Obama, but the distinction of people like you and me.
Whomever you vote for, you are going to be voting for a naked candidate, and by that I mean, regardless of how much money the candidate has behind him, or how many people there are to assist him, he will inevitably be left to his own devices and wit when presenting their case to the American public via debates.
I would rather have a warrior for that role, and I can not for the life of me understand why people just don't get that. I want someone who, when asked whether the factual statement they just made was offensive to certain people, will say no without beating around the bush and while looking you straight in the eye.
When has Romney ever displayed the will that will lead you to believe he will resist being hampered and handicapped by political correctness.
This is a war, which isn't over yet, and we need a warrior. At least with Newt, I know for a fact that he at least was a conservative. Contrary to what Mitt Romney says about himself now, when was he ever a conservative?
They old saw is “They taught Mr. Ed to talk.”
I submit that we have an orator now. I don’t like it. I don’t want to vote for an orator. The TOTUS apparently manages by getting position papers that have two extreme positions and a middle position. He checks the middle box.
e.g.
Position 1. Murder all the Jews.
Position 2. Encourage Iran to Murder half the Jews.
Position 3. Encourage Israel to murder all non-Jews.
And he checks the middle box EVERY TIME.
Of course the guy who writes the middle position has wide latitude in building that ‘middle position’.
I would vote for Mitt over Obama. I would vote for Newt over Obama. I would vote for a syphilitic camel over Obama.
Romney with a Republican House and Senate would be more conservative.
We need more conservative house members, to stop the crazy spending. We need more conservative Senate members to stop the crazy spending.
With that, the Republic might just be saved. I keep my wookie suit ready anyways.
Making fun of Mass? I am guilty of that myself. Insulting Mass? I find that beyond my poor powers.
Romney seems to be a good manager. I don’t think much of Obama or Gingrich as managers.
