Your turn. Please post a list of Romney’s accomplishments that you are most proud of and that most qualify him to be president of the US.

Voting for Romney directly advances the godless/socialist/statist agenda.

Jim, what will it take to dump Romney in the convention and have an open convention free-for-all? Is it possible to get that liberal liar off the nominee spot at this point? Or has the GOPe succeeded in placing their liberal under our noses again, as with McCain? Is there any vp selection that could changeMilt’s creds? I don’t see any vp choice changing what Romney has done int eh past, so who he picks as vp doesn’t seem to be a factor. Can he be deposed at the convention? ... I’m still praying that American voters have finally awoken to realize Newt is so much superior to Milt Rominy that if Milt can be dumped in Tampa, Newt just might end upt he nominee, but can it be done at this stage?

You can't say it any more simply than that. It is solid TRUTH.

Well, I dare not disagree with one so convinced of his own arguments, nor will I list my arguments for you. There are many, but what would be the point? Solipsism can be almost as powerful on the Right as on the Left. And nuanced opinion as rare. Your solution to our national predicament is one that is very logical, and one with which I do sympathize, but also one that I find very far-fetched. Reality demands something more of us. And I simply have, or choose to place, more faith in Mitt Romney, the man, than you do, yes, based on much of what he has done (much of it contrary to what you include your list), on what he will do that Obama won’t, and on some personal hopes that are quite immediate. Take Obamacare, for instance . . . one can either damn Romney for what he did in Massachusetts, or believe him when he repeatedly says he will repeal it. I choose to believe the latter, in part perhaps because I have little choice. For reasons too complex to go into here, Obamacare will cost me thousands of dollars, personally, and leave me with no insurance at all, though I am a heart patient, while possibly even causing me to sell my home. I’ll take a very practical and non-ideological chance on the repeal candidate, thank you very much. There are other reasons, other issues. But my faith is also based upon faith, itself. At some point, we place our faiths, our hopes, our more realistic dreams, in men, however imperfect . . . men whom we believe can achieve them for us. And I choose to cling to that belief, now. I admire your idealism, and you are free to reject what I consider to be my own pragmatism, along with my faith, though you think it to be blind, but I hope that we are still free enough in this Republic to disagree.
