I'd like to hear what people here think about Romney's Homeland Security credentials and what other candidate has strong credentials as well. (And I already know that a lot of people here dislike Romney because of certain issues, abortion, Massachusetts politician, so called "RINO" etc . . . but I'm mostly interested in the matter at hand).

Fire away!

So called? His support of socialized medicine and gun control pretty much paints him as an all out RINO.

Homeland Security credentials? The Biggest mis-alignment of pathetic governmental institutions since Truman? Sorry, it doesn't bear any weight with me. He's just another political toad (and a RINO).

Romney would make one hell of a liberal democrat, he has their views already.

No. No. No.

His negatives outweigh his positives.

We need a conservative. We need one now more than ever.

Being able to run an Olympic Games is scarcely preparation for running this country, and his tenure as governor of Taxachusetts is notable only for his ill-conceived attempt to institute mandatory "Hillary-Care" for all. Should make anyone there feel nostalgic for Cuba.

As to his candidacy in a short: NO WAY!

Exactly what crisis did Romney lead the country through? The Olympics? Advisory Board meetings? Congressional testimony? If he runs against Giuliani, the listed "credentials" will be laughable by comparison.

As far as health care that everyone is compelled to buy under the law, a hearty no-thanks!

This is my anti-Romney rant. I will post it as often as I can, so folks out in the country will know what a bad guy he is.

In 2005 there were significant floods in the North-western part of the state--in the Greenfield area. There was a state of emergency declared, many hundreds were homeless and there was loss of life.

It was not a huge disaster, but you would think that the Govenor would do the "fly out to the location and see what is being done" thing.

Nope, not Mitt. Mitt got on a plane alright. He flew to a republican fund raiser in South Carolina. He was more interested in getting votes in a primary three years from now than he was in making sure his own constituents were being taken care of.

This guy talks well, and he is a good business person. But, he is NOT a leader. He doesnt have a vision and he doesnt have the brains to see where the morale and well being of his state takes precendence over a fund raiser.

Was this a big deal in the local and national press. No. Did it really matter to the people in the area? Nope--they didnt care if he was there or not. However, it would have been the "right" thing to do. You make sure the troops are taken care of. You make sure your people are safe and sound, before you run off to do something else. It was one of those defining moments when a person's true character shows through. And it wasnt a pretty site.

He is a loser. He would be a loser no matter his political affiliation, religion, or race. He is another of those well dressed, smooth talking, good looking, fake conservatives.

Stay away from him.

Romney could be strong in this arena (we really don't know until something happens and HE has to react to it), but his stances on other issues just won't fly with enough people for him to get a serious run put together to get there.

Giuliani is a case where he WOULD be a decent choice if and ONLY if this were the big thing, but this election will be held in 2008, not 2002 or 2001, when Giuliani would've won handily (I think).

Neither one will get a big run put together.

I still think it will be someone who isn't even getting much run right now.

I saw him today at our 4th of July parade. He was riding his bike behind the crowd.

Nice guy.

What's the point of Romney?

If people want a Massachusetts liberal with Security credentials, they can have John Kerry. He's a Vietnam War hero, albeit on the wrong side....
