well, we’d better get excited dang quick.

We need to go into this election with great enthusiasm... every day Obama proves more and more that he is a serious danger to this country.

What is the point in continuing to bemoan Romney?

Let’s look at him in a positive way.

He has a name, also.

He’s not ABO any more. He’s my candidate name of Mitt Romney.

Newt is still going to Aug/Fl, but not campaigning, so his support of Romney was from other ‘mitt reports’ and Newt’s support was vague but throughout his debates/campaign was for defeating obama, while mitt’s was on trashing Newt and taking him out.

Nothing is set in stone till Aug and my support for Newt will stay the same until August but always against Mitt. Everyone/because of media bias, has declared mitt a winner since the beginning and now many just continues eating their propaganda - even though they ‘supposedly’ know better. It’s the media that wants to/has given us our candidate or rather they think they have.

The only way he could lose my vote is if he DID name you as vice president. :)

Normally, politicians address their message to the voters based on the voters' concerns. All the major polls show that people are most concerned about the economy and jobs. Those are the number 1 issues. Romney is correct to focus on those issues.

There are also concerns about the huge national debt and annual deficits of over $1 trillion a year since Obama took office. He has amassed more debt in four years than Bush did in 8 years. Our entitlement programs are unsustainable. They will bankrupt us. Property values have declined precipitously with millions of housing foreclosures. The unemployment rate for the young is the highest in over 60 years. Our credit rating has declined. Government regulation has stifiled business and the use of our own natural energy resources.

I could go on and on about the issues. Romney must have a clear message and one focussed on just a few things. In addition to jobs and the economy, I would go after the debt and deficits and the hugely unpopular Obamacare. You can infuse discussion of these issues with the conservative philosophy of limited government, individual liberty, fiscal responsibity, and national security.

We’re not excited. We won’t get excited.

So, the issue becomes putting conservatives in the house and senate.

That’s another reason I can easily vote for Goode and not worry about the Obama presidency.

With conservatives in the house and senate, the agenda of Obama will be dead on arrival. Romney, on the other hand, will gain a bit of party loyalty, and he’ll get his stupid liberal agenda passed. When the conservatives won’t work with him, he’ll overturn to the rinos & democrats, and he’ll get his agenda passed that way, too.

So, in reality, a radical, liberal, social corporatist like Romney is actually a bigger threat.

Conservatives in Congress is the key.

Romney doesn’t care much about the Tea Party either.

I would vote for a dog turd enthusiastically if it meant an end to Obama’s Presidency.

If you vote for Romney, that's about what you will be doing.

Romney: ‘I’ll take a lot of credit’ for auto industry success [bailout]

Another reason to not vote for this socialist.

The bailouts were completely unnecessary. All that would have been needed was for the government to guarantee post filing financing.

If anyone recalls, the bailouts were sold as a way to avoid Chapter 11 bankruptcy, but they filed anyway.

The governments cash was nothing more than Obama's way of buying a seat at the table to protect his union buds, screw over the bondholders and control the companies for the balance of his presidency.

If you are really a conservative and not one of the Mittens who come here to sing the praises of Romney, I can assure you that you'd like my political views far, far better than Romney's. I'd actually attract conservatives to vote for me and not just because I'm not Obama (which appears to be Mitt's only redeeming qualification). Like Sarah Palin whose political views probably most closely mirror mine, I can say conservative things like I believe them because I really do.

I'm absolutely confident that Romney won't name me as VP, so you won't have any internal conflicts to overcome. ;-)

Exactly right! I would vote for a dog turd enthusiastically if it meant an end to Obama’s Presidency.

Me, too, but I won't vote for Romney. [That joke was blatantly stolen from another FReeper who I would attribute if I could remember who it was.]

The race is between a Democrat (Romney) and a Communist (Obama).
