[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Mitt is a superb administrator, and arguably a fiscal conservative. I would call him a social conservative in the sense of not having the government intervene in family or religious life. He is not hostile towards gays or other unconventional types, he just doesn't want to use the government to advance their agenda. He's not as libertarian as I would prefer, but we can all agree, he's a dammed sight better than the incumbent.

You're out of your effin' mind, the only difference between 0bama and Mitt-Witt is that 0bama (if re-elected) will continue to pour the bottle labeled 'socialism' down America's throat against our will, if Romney somehow gets in there (unlikely), the same bottle of socialism will continue to be served up, except in exquisite crystal goblets.

0bama is a pro-abortionist pig, Romney ran to the LEFT of that child-murdering fat slob Teddy Kennedy while proclaiming that he not only didn't want to see Roe v. Wade overturned, he did not want to "return to Reagan-Bush", and as for him not wanting to "use the government to advance the [homosexual] agenda", that didn't stop him from using the governmental apparatus of the State of Massachusetts in May 2004 to proclaim "Youth Gay Pride Day".

Fiscal conservative? Don't kid yourself.

- Gun permits raised from $25 to $100, in fact state fees overall increased by 500 million during his time as governor and corporate tax rates went up nearly 400 million.

- Let's revisit that homosexual issue too: when Romney was Governor of your fine (snort) state, refused to consider GOP lawyers for 75% of the 36 judicial vacancies he had to fill, preferring to appoint Democrats or independents, including two homosexual lawyers who were advocates of expanding same-sex 'rights'. Now ask yourself what sort of SCOTUS nominees a 'President Romney' would make? NOT MUCH DIFFERENT than Snootomeyer, Kwazy Kagen, et al.

- During Romney's tenure as Governor, the GOP lost more seats in the Massachusetts house than at any time since the Civil War.

Had enough yet? Oh wait:

"he's a dammed sight better than the incumbent."

GIVE ... YOUR ... HEAD ... A ... SHAKE.

Bottom line he has weak personality, stumbles when he speaks, which gives me the impression he is a lier. He is not a fixer, plus his Romney Care never-mind it’s ties Obama Care. If it is not Newt we are finished.

...but we can all agree, he's a dammed sight better than the incumbent.

Uh, no; we can't.

To say that he SEEMS better would be closer to the truth.

What did we KNOW what OBAMA would have brought us; 4 years ago??

Change that line to:

Did we know what OBAMA would bring us us; 4 years ago??

No.

Romney is a dyed-in-the-wool MORMON; who is convinced (some might say DECEIVED) that Thomas Monson is a Prophet of GOD.

I would guess that he ALSO believes that Joseph Smith; founder of his chosen religion; was one, too.

...the presidential campaign of Mormon Church founder Joseph Smith in 1844: “Challenging Democrat James Polk and Whig Henry Clay, Smith prophesied that if the U.S. Congress did not accede to his demands that ‘they shall be broken up as a government and God shall damn them.’

Smith viewed capturing the presidency as part of the mission of the church.
