I would be happy to have Newt thump Obama. I would also be happy to have Romney thump Obama. Romney may have an edge in management experience.
I note the difference between unconstitutional federal action by Obama, and constitutional state action by Romney. I further note the difference between the various health care acts that make Obama’s bad and Romney’s good.
It is important that we elect someone who will fire a bunch of people, and close down several cabinet level positions.
Anybody, like Mitt Romney, who has such power and money behind them, will not be a candidate of conscience...but rather, that conscience, will be beholden to others. That's a very dangerous person to vote for because their words are idle and without meaning. Barack Obama may harbor principles that are entirely contrary to mine, but at least he has principles. Mitt Romney has none. He always was, and always will be, the quintessential political chameleon.
