“He’s demonstrated that in the past, many times, and he’ll do the same as president - and he’ll likely go over the heads of Congress if the Dems try to stop him, just as Reagan did.”
When, exactly, did Romney demonstrate anything like that? He broke every promise he ever made in Massachusetts and even left them with a new government entitlement permanently enslaving a large part of the citizenry in his state to the government.
I also still do not understand what huge differences there are in Romney’s and Obama’s economic “plans.” Except for a slight lowering of taxes on the top, apparently to be paid for with a closing of “loopholes” and “deductions” like for people who pay state property taxes, the progressive nature of the tax system is maintained and no significant gutting of the government takes place. Recall how he helped Massachusetts. He promised not to raise taxes, so he raised fees instead. He has promised to cut 500 billion from the deficit, but even on this his promises on how he will do it are so utterly vague that there is no way to even verify that it is true. Meanwhile he wants to increase defend spending. Listening to Romney is like listening to Obama’s Hope and Change pre-Presidency speeches all over again. Talking much but not saying anything at all. I doubt that there is a man alive who can pull up some part of Romney’s “plan” without having to go look it up first on his website, and even then it’s never the whole story since Mittens in “closed meetings” says different stuff! That’s where I got the whole closing of “loopholes” for property taxes thing from. A speech to some donors he made, but you won’t find that stuff on his site. That’s really the whole problem with Mittens. He never gives the whole story for anything he plans to do! And you guys just aren’t seeing how familiar this is, even though we condemned the liberals and the feckless masses for falling for it when OBAMA did the same thing during his run.
I for one am tired of anonymous Presidents, but that’s exactly what we’re getting. I honestly do not think there is a future for the country that doesn’t involve an economic collapse at this point. Our last chance to get out of this comfortably is lost with Romney. To be honest, when I think further on it, it was probably lost during the Bush years. It’s probably already toolate, and it makes no difference who is elected, even if we had gotten a radical Ron Paul type. Whoever will be President after this election will simply be the captain to ride the Titanic down to the bottom of the ocean.

Olympics, SLC. They were a mess - he cleaned it up. Same with Bain. He made bucks because he knew where to put the money.
As governor...forget it.
