Thanks for your service, Navy Vet. I hope you come around, hold your nose (like me) and vote for Romney. He ain’t perfect, but neither was W....and W gave us Alito and Roberts...
Excellent points. This election is about the economy ... something Obama knows nothing about. That's one thing that Mittens does understand. Now, I'm not sold on his ability to appoint conservative justices ... his track record doesn't support that idea ... but we know beyond a doubt what kind of justice Obama would appoint.
I will cast my vote against Obama ... even if that means checking the box next to Mittens' name.
I see a good little Republican sycophant lemming memorized an official Karl Rove talking point!
How can an election be "about something" that entails abandoning the very core foundational principles of your philosophy, such as being pro-life or being against homosexual marriage? I guess we're at least lucky Mitt isn't "cool with" sending Jews to gas chambers, because we wouldn't be allowed to oppose it or even talk about it, because this election is "about" the economy and nothing else matters?
Even Dennis Prager pointed out that if the Republicans make the election "about" the economy, they're going to lose if the economy starts getting better. Elections should never be about such fleeting, temporary issues. They need to be about the fundamental divide between decent, freedom-loving individuals and godless socialists. That's the only way our cause and our movement can make lasting gains. Otherwise you leave the public with no reason to ever boot out an incumbent Democrat if the economy happens to be good at that time. Of course it's doubtful Mitt would ever want to talk about other issues either because he doesn't understand conservatism vs. liberalism or he at heart agrees with liberalism.
Besides, Mitt is as liberal on economics as he is on everything else. See socialized medicine Romneycare, raising taxes and fees, indexing the minimum wage to inflation, not caring about leaving poor people in permanent welfare programs, his state ranking 47th in job creation during his tenure, etc.
