The case for Romney is clear - Obama's 2nd Term. It would look just like his first term only with the safeties off. We're in total agreement at the first paragraph. I doubt you'd find a FReeper who had Romney as their top 3 picks during the Primary.

I still do not trust him on immigration, government control, and know nothing of his foreign policy.

I suspect that he's no worse than the last four Republican Presidents on the issue of immigration. It will be states leading the way by passing English only laws for governmental bodies, eliminating welfare and education benefits for illegal immigrants, etc. At the federal level there's a consensus for status quo, plus many immigrants have left for economically growing Mexico. Now is an ideal time for states to make changes to their welfare policies.

On government control I trust few politicians. On SCOTUS I trust only Thomas and we need four more just like him to be certain, five if you suspect he's moving on in less than 20 years. You and I could agree instantly on eliminating both DOEs and remanding that money back to the respective states. I don't see Congress or Romney leading the charge to eliminate any departments, but I'm happy to be wrong on that count.

I pray his foreign policy isn't a redux of Obama's. Hilary's ploy to play giant and "reset" our role with the world was pure theater. Nobody respects Obama and hence America. Hilary's a clown and having her out, along with her boss will only be an improvement.

He grew up in wealth, made more money, - irrelevant to me.

dodged the draft - relevant, but it isn't clear to me that this is what happened.

enacted gay marriage into law - this disturbs me a lot, along with his support of homosexual adoption

has not really come down on the secure borders, failed to support openly Arizona and Alabama - True.

Compare resumes with obama - neither is Christian Romney is a Christian. Obama states that he is, but he attended Rev. Wright's bigoted, crazy Black Liberation Theology church for nearly a quarter century with his daughters and wife. Plus, Obama doesn't act like a Christian,etc.

obama is a communist, race-baiting ne'er do well who has accomplished nothing.

- Agreed.

Romney is a capitalist who does not mind government loans, guarantees, etc to bail out or start businesses. - I don't know about this, but government loan guarantees, etc. exist and you'd be a fool not to use them. I use every opportunity government provides to insure my business succeeds. To do otherwise is stupid. Yet, here I am on FR fighting to get them eliminated. So it isn't clear to me that this is a negative. Actually, it isn't a negative at all.

Choices - choices? - This makes little sense. The choice isn't a hairsbreadth between them, but a Grand Canyon. Romney's the nominee and is an improvement over Obama if he simply gets the economy on track. Let our conservatives in Congress lead the way on everything else.
