No, I am not familiar with judges appointed by Mitt Romney. I have never lived east of Chicago. May be you can list a few of those judges and I can do research on them.

However the point remains...I am deathly afraid of future Obama appointees. Because I have seen his federal apppointees in action. Obama never worked in private sector, but Romney spent practically his whole life in private sector. I have spent 25 years in private sector including executive positions & 12 years in government, and I can recognize the two types of people a mile away. There is no way Romney and Obama think alike in fiscal matters. I have never met an executive in 25 years in private sector who thinks like Obama.

You never met John Corzine? Warren Buffett? There are a whole lot of liberal businessmen out there. Especially people like Romney who have no blue collar or middle class roots and were actually born into a political family. Especially businessmen liked Romney who never actually ran a business with blood, sweat and tears. He just pushed massive sums of money around in sweetheart deals where he might not always win but the structure of the deals dictated that he COULDN'T LOSE. He's someone who had everything in life handed to him. Therefore he thinks everyone should have things handed to them by a socialist government.

He passed Romneycare. 'Nuff said.

He raised fees and taxes (or as he tells it, "closed loopholes") in Taxachusetts to the tune of about 700 million dollars in new revenue, even while job creation ranked only 47th among all states in the nation.

He had to be dragged kicking and screaming into the 20% across-the-board tax cut he's promising, after his tax plan was described by the WSJ as "timid" and similar to Obama's. We'll have to see if his new plans survived the Etch-a-Sketch shake-up.

His earlier plan said he would not cut taxes for anyone making over $200,000. Obama said he would give tax cuts up to $250,000. So Romney was more liberal than Obama on tax cuts.

He said on the campaign trail that he would index the minimum wage to inflation. I think that's a more liberal policy than Obama's.

He refused to speak up in favor of John Kasich's union-busting legislation when asked.

His vision for the "very poor" is for them to be permanent members of the underclass supported by the "safety net." That is exactly what every socialist's vision includes. They don't believe in class mobility, they believe in class division and class warfare. And their goal is to redistribute income through the state to the lower class from everybody else.

Romney's an economic liberal and a progressive socialist. For some strange reason most Republican voters seem to assume that being a businessman or being rich automatically makes you an "economic conservative." One way or another, Romney has managed to pull a thin veneer of wool Republicans' eyes on that point. They are going to have a rude awakening if this man is elected and they get to find out what his economic philosophies really are.

You can start by reviewing Monday's FR post "Romney Judicial Record: Liberals Running Wild." That is a good starting point to see that Mitt's rhetoric doesn't match his actions, once again.

I don't think that you'll find very many businessmen in Massachusetts who rave about the wonderful Romney years.
