Sorry, but I spent time in the Eastern Bloc countries. Trust me, you do not want this country going there. And no, we're not there yet. But we will be very quickly if he gets another term.
Biggest problem with Romney as president, even assuming the best that he’s simply a finger-in-the-wind guy and not an ideological liberal, would be how fast he’d go to the left if the Democrats take Congress. If you get an unenthusiastic Republican base in 2014, likely since Romney is likely to be disappointing, then the Democrats could win the Congress like they did in 2006. At that point Romney would do what he did in Taxachusetts, pass everything the Democrats want and claim that “his hands were tied” and he did the best he could with the cards he was dealt. Even worse, an even more depressed base causes Romney to lose the reelection in 2016, like they did in 2008, possibly even to Obama coming back to try again, and that Democrat comes into office with a ready-made far-left Congress with a huge mandate from the public, who has shown an incredible lack of enthusiasm for the Republican party thanks to Romney.
You could’nt be more right about Eastern block countries. Also look at modern day Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain. All are drowning in debt and low productivity. My daughter is studying as foreign exchange student in Spain for a semester and she just had a 10 day break after 3 weeks of school!
I don’t trust him one bit. I think he could come up with someone like her.
I know what we have in Obama. I have not been convinced Romney would be one lick better.
I’ll *never* vote for Obama.
I’m not sold on Romney and won’t vote for him until I am.
