How can we conservatives tolerate Romney's campaign messages which are devoid of specific plans and full of cheerleading sound bites like "I'll fix all the problems when elected"? These empty sound bites are so easy for Obama to attack. On the other hand, Obama would have a very difficult time attacking the fact-filled plans of Newt Gingrich. See the Cspan link below.

Come on Conservatives! Before it is too late, get behind Newt for President.
In Newt’s answer to the last question, he says, “You can’t understand America if you eliminate God from our history”. I think this is vitally important in view of the revelations revealed in the book, “The Harbinger”

What are Romney’s plans?
Work the crowd; work the crowd; work the crowd.
If you are really serious instead of just posting a vapid vanity, you could go look at Romney’s website? Plenty of yadayada on there for you to pick through.
I agree. For someone who has sold himself as this great healer of the economy, Romney’s economic and tax plan is flat anemic, compared to Newt’s. Slightly lowering the marginal rates while closing loop holes will not have much net effect on the economy.
What are Romney’s plans? To tell you whatever it takes to get your vote. He’ll deal with the consequences after he gets elected.
Romney has plans?
Continue the Obama plan.
What are Romney’s plans??
I’ve said before that Romney’s my 3rd choice for nominee, but give the guy a break. Here’s his energy plan outline from his website:
*****
The first step will be a rational and streamlined approach to regulation, which would facilitate rapid progress in the development of our domestic reserves of oil and natural gas and allow for further investment in nuclear power.
•Establish fixed timetables for all resource development approvals
•Create one-stop shop to streamline permitting process for approval of common activities
•Implement fast-track procedures for companies with established safety records to conduct pre-approved activities in pre-approved areas
•Ensure that environmental laws properly account for cost in regulatory process
•Amend Clean Air Act to exclude carbon dioxide from its purview
•Expand NRC capabilities for approval of additional nuclear reactor designs
•Streamline NRC processes to ensure that licensing decisions for reactors on or adjacent to approved sites, using approved designs, are complete within two years
How do you know this is a plan he would carry out, his entire political history is one of spin and flip flops.
There is not a position he has maintained even the slightest bit of constancy on.
“Compared to Gingrich’s Energy Drilling, Personal Social Security plans, what are Romney’s plans?”
Status quo,
Don’t do nuthin’,
Go with the flow!
Romney doesn’t want to make a “list”, says it wouldn’t be long enough for Conservatives anyway. Says we should trust him to do the right thing because he’s severly Conservative.
Let me start with jobs: If I am the nominee, with your help, I will ask the entire Republican ticket to campaign with me on the pledge that when the Congress comes in on January 3, it will stay in session, and by January 20, when I am sworn in, it will have repealed Obamacare.
(Applause).
GINGRICH: It will have repealed Dodd‑Frank.
(Applause).
GINGRICH: It will have repealed Sarbanes‑Oxley.
(Applause).
GINGRICH: All three of those are job killing bills, which centralized bureaucracy in Washington DC and increased the corruption of the political system. All three should be repealed and held at the desk until I am sworn in. That afternoon, on the very first day, we should sign the repeal of all three. That's a reasonable start.
(Applause).
GINGRICH: Two hours after the Inaugural Address ‑‑ that was just the hors d’oeurve. We haven't got around to serious work, yet.
After the Inaugural Address, I will spend it signing executive orders and presidential findings. All of them will have been published by October 1. The country will know precisely what this campaign is about.
The very first executive order will abolish all of the White House czars, as of that moment.
(Applause).
GINGRICH: We will sign, that day, an executive order, which as of that moment, approves of the Canadian pipeline to Houston, period.
(Applause).
GINGRICH: My message to Prime Minister Harper and the Canadian government is simple: You do not need a partnership with the Chinese. Give the American people a few months. When we beat Obama on election night, you can start buying equipmentbecause we will approve it on January 20th.
(Applause).
GINGRICH: There will be an executive order to move the State Department, to put the embassy in Jerusalem as of that day, period.
(Applause).
GINGRICH: We will, that day, reinstate Ronald Reagan's "Mexico City Policy" ‑‑ No money for abortion overseas, period.
(Applause).
GINGRICH: And we will have an executive order to repeal every act of religious bigotry by the Obama administration period.
My goal, with your help, is that by the time President Obama lands in Chicago, we will have repudiated at least 40 percent of his government on the opening‑day.
Nobody will be able to argue that Romney will actually do anything he has promised. We don’t know the future.
While Newt is still viable, there’s no reason to compromise.
But we know what Obama has promised to do. And we KNOW that Obama won’t do what we want.
As a general rule, I’d rather vote for a guy who promises to do what is right, even if I don’t trust them, than vote for a guy who promises to do what is bad, in the hopes they actually do right instead.
For example, I wouldn’t vote for a pro-choice candidate — how could I give my vote to a guy who promises to support abortion? But I can vote for a candidate who promises to support pro-life positions, if the opponents are pro-abortion, even if that is a change from past positions, since I am voting for the promise. Then I can hold the candidate accountable for breaking the promise.
