I hear ya.
For me its that Romney is such a proven capable leader.. at key things like cutting duplication and waste, which the government badly needs. In some cases we have 40 agencies in charge fo doing the same thing, which is insane. But people without executive experience its doubtful they can make the government much more efficient. Hes a turnaround expert with proven experience in doing exactly that.
Ideologically hes so so to me. Hunter is far better in that case. If it was a non-executive position like Senator or congressman I wouldn’t be supporting Romney.
I think Romney is a little too in love with the idea of being Prez, kind of like Clinton, he loooves the limelight. If elected I don’t see him coming into government and slashing government waste, etc. I see him flashing his big toothy grin
and hoping to be known as the “most handsome President”, that’s how I see it, I could be wrong ;)
That was one cool thing about President Bush.. he wanted to be President but wasn’t in love with the limelight.
Nice poodles btw I couldn’t believe how huge that one was next to the desk on your homepage!
Badeye: “From what I can tell, those raising hell about a Romney nomination are doing so based on one issue, abortion.”
‘Then you haven’t been paying attention.’
Hundred or more posts on the topic shows otherwise.
” Add to that his promotion of the homosexual agenda and gun control.”
I haven’t heard that in any debate so far.
“And all the slugfest aside, hope your trip to Gettysburg went well. (I believe it was you who was going.)’
It was a great trip, thanks for asking. Caught great weather the entire time. And I highly recommend the Battlefied Guides offered by the Park Service, even if you know about the battle, they are full of insights and backstories of all sorts.
Thank you Radix, couldn’t have said it better. Maybe we need to start pointing out Romney Derangement Syndrome?
Accusing your political opponents of mental derangement is a Stalinist tactic. Really, you can do better than that. Can’t you?

Lighten up Francis
You might want to take your own advice.
Badeye, the $50 I spent on one of those Gettysburg tour guides who drove our car was the best money I spent in the entire 10-day trip...Gettysburg, Fredericksburg, Petersburg, Williamsburg, Jamestown, Yorktown, Ft. McHenry, Mt. Vernon, Valley Forge, New York...
As to Mitt’s promotion of the homosexual agenda and gun control, suggest you Google. The homosexual agenda has been as voluminous as abortion, I’d guesstimate, and certainly so in my comments about him.
Gun control just as much at issue, if not discussed as much as abortion and the homosexual agenda.
Mitt was endorsed, for example, by the homosexual Log Cabin Republicans.

Its up to $70, but well worth it. He had some very good stories about the making of Gettysburg, btw...and told me about the scene in the movie with ‘Chamberlain’ and his brother talking the morning of the third day up on Little Round top. He said ‘We always crack up noting the statute of General Warren hidden behind a screen of branches...”
I went back and looked, and sure enough, if you know to check, there is the monument to Warren on Little Round Top - the outline is clearly visible behind the faux ‘brush’ they put up. I’ve watched the movie two dozen times, never noticed it til now...(chuckle)
Yep, our guide was a U.S. History professor working at the battlefield in the summer, whose great-grandfather won the Medal of Honor at Gettysburg. (He was just a touch biased in his presentation, and being a Tarheel native — “First at Manassas, Furthest at Gettysburg (over the wall during Pickett’s Charge), and Last (to surrender) at Appamatox” — I more than forgave him nonetheless.)
Good stuff re: the movie. Much to my kids’ exasperation, we watch it every July 4th. I’ll have to go back and look at the Gen. Warren scene.
As far as I am concerned, anybody who would even consider wasting time reading columns by Joan Venocci is suspect.
If EV wants to post her BS out here then he is fair game for a rebuke.
It happens to be a fact that I admire EV very much. I also think that he is determined to do some serious boat rocking out here.
It is true that I have not read her (Joan’s) latest BS column. Nor do I intend to do so in the near future. Why should I? She is a liberal nut job!
Joan Venocci is lost soul. In fact, she is also an a$$hole about it.
You can read her nonsensical columns and contemplate her mind set all day, but when you deem that it is appropriate to post her BS out here on FR.com, well then, you make even yourself suspect.
I have never accused my old friend EV of being an anti-Mormon bigot.
Hell, I might accuse myself of being an anti-mormon bigot.
That because Mormonism is just about the dumbest cult that I have studied next to the so call adherents of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society.

Its the sequence just before Chamberlain is ‘relieved’ at on Little Round Top.
