I’ve successively supported Cain, then Perry, but the choices are getting difficult now.

Ron Paul - domestic ideas are fairly solid but due to foreign policy he is DOA in my books. Can’t vote for him.

Newt - insider politician, family values laughable, egotistical, lobbyist, divisive. No executive experience.

Rick Santorum - thinks in big government solutions by default, too much of an emphasis on family values when the economy and foreign matters should be a strength instead. No executive experience.

Perry - like the guy, but polling at 1% and I don’t think he has the intellectual fire-power to take on O.

I can’t see for the life of me why Mitt is such a bad option. He understands the economy, has served as a savy business executive for years, and has some good ideas about how to decrease unemployment. He’s squeaky clean and has a good family, no moral skeletons in the closet. He’s a member of a minority religion, so he will definitely protect our freedom of individual right to worship as we please. On healthcare, he did what he thought should be done at state level in MA, and has said repeatedly that the federal government should leave those decisions on the state level; he has specifically said he would repeal Obamacare.

Given the mess that the economy is in, I have a hunch that the tables will continue to tilt in Romney’s favor..I wish Cain were still in, but I can’t see why Romney is such a horrible option...I’m keeping my eyes open and evaluating info as it comes out, so definitely not a so-called Romneybot here, lol.

Romney has a record of changing his position on a variety of important issues when it’s politically experdient to do so. While I’d vote for him over Obama in a general election, I believe there are better candidates in the GOP field. That doesn’t make Romney a bad option, just not the best option.

Taking on Obama? Sure. Eating Jell-o with one hand? Maybe not.

Throwing a tantrum because FR doesn't support Mitt or your Fave RINO?
Aren't you precious
Aren't you Precious.

For those who support FR, click here to show it!
For the perpetually offended and the WHINERS, click here instead.

Savvy executive?

Try bean counter of the Xth degree. He did not make a nickel through his own ideas or work.

He was a take over artist, the likes of which are best viewed in the last half hour or so of Wall Street. Remember the guys in the conference room taking apart the Airline Company? THAT was Mitt.

He might be good at firing people and using theories on how to run a business, but he was no Alfred Sloan, or Steve Jobs. Charismatic leader? Not on your life.
