Romney agrees with US 75% of the time? RomneyCare, gay marriage, same sex adoptions, cap & trade, free cars,insurance,repairs and AAA cards for welfare recipients, vast majority of judicial appointments to liberal democrats,and forcing catholic hospitals to perform abortions. Sounds like a record any liberal would defend. I understand the people who feel they have to hold their nose and vote for Romney, I don’t understand the ones like you who vote with eyes closed and ears plugged. With voters like you things will never change because you are the useful idiots of the liberal RINOs. I will be happy when Obama loses but sad that you liberals will continue to destroy this country.

Romney will force Obama to take the financial meltdown in November after election day. Wall street and entitlements will crumple. 2A rights will remain untouched until the recovery. May take a decade.

“Silly, egotistical, bullheaded and stupid conservatives will give Obama another 4 years.”

I agree.

This childish ‘my way or the highway’ crap will give 0bama another 4 years to finish us off....forever.

I think Romney’s a squish on the issue, but if he wins he’ll likely be accompanied by a substantial Congressional majority, who aren’t going to initiate anything like that. Now the second half of the term, when POTI traditionally lose ground in Congress, might be a different story. OTOH, I have a hard time seeing him losing the House even then, so it may not be a problem.

>Only one question needs to be asked....is he better than Obama?
And the answer to that is a resounding “Yes!”

I'm not sure about that. Romney and Obama have many political similarities, enough so that there is no significant difference between the two. With Obama there is at least the polarizing factor which binds a lot of people [general population] against him; with Romney, however those people will think 'I did something' and fail to follow-through on demanding good changes like government accountability. -- That complacency I think is a greater danger than simply having a terrible man in the office of the President, precisely because it signals to all of the government that they can get away with anything, even selling your children into slavery.

Read it and weep. A Democrat Congress and a Democrat President passed it and signed it. A GOP Congress and a GOP President killed it.

That's factually incorrect, even by your own citation:
The Federal Assault Weapons Ban expired on September 13, 2004, as part of the law's sunset provision.

The Republican Party literally had to do nothing. Why should we give them credit for it expiring, when they say they are for the 2nd Amendment shouldn't that mean that they fight for it? Shouldn't that mean that they actively try to repeal the GCA and NFA? Until then, the Republican Party should get very little to no credit for being "pro 2nd Amendment."

You may choose to shoot yourself in the foot. Not everyone is obliged to make the same choice simply because you have made it for yourself.

Indeed. Those same folks are content to keep the status quo—keeping the DemoRepublican party in power, because they really don’t mind the DemoRepublican party being in power.

Really? Then Romney hasn't pushed socialized medicine? Or implemented gun restrictions? Or appointed liberal [read activist] judges? Or pushed same-sex marriage/union?

There are a few Freepers from Romny's state who will quite disagree with you. And it's incredibly dumb not to at least acknowledge the reputation that he made for himself: saying what he thinks you want to hear; hell, there's a lot of witty political cartoons that tell the truth of Romney (which is that you cant trust what you hear).
