I love the smell of “You Republicans will be sorry” in the air. It’s the smell of Victory.

I think Romney wont be able to keep many of his promises. I think his first priority will be to get the budget deficits under control and he is going to have to expend a lot of political capital to get the entitlement and defense cuts. However, he can do a lot to help the economy by just rolling back a lot of the Obama regulations and doing everything possible to promote energy independence, which will create thousands of high paying jobs. I think if Romney went all-in just on concentrating on energy development, that will have a massive multiplier effect. I dont think he will be able to roll back Obamacare, but he could probably make a deal with the Democrat Senate to reform the more unpopular parts and keep the rest. As far as I am concerned, I am just happy that Obama wont be able to appoint anymore federal judges. If he can get the tax cuts, I will be more happy, but I am not counting on it. He may be able to get some stuff pushed through, but we'll have to unseat Dingy Harry as the top flea-bag in the Senate. On the flip side, just stopping all the grenades that Zero keeps throwing will be an improvement all in itself.

Not that anyone gives crap but my vote for Mitt Milquetoast will be the last for me as a Republican. I plan on switching to Independent after this election. I cannot be in a party that has shifted to the left of where the Deomcratic Party was just 30 years ago. JFK was to the right of Mitt mAsshole. It’s a party that has very little respect for me and my values and is ashamed of me. I am tired of being abused and taken for granted. AMF Republican Party.

“Romney has a solid record”
Tell me that Romney is the only alternative to Obama but please don’t try to portray Romney’s record as anything but a liberal.
Go to F.R.s main page and click on “RomneyTruthFile”.
Facts are facts.

Don’t even need to read the article. It comes from the Atlantic magazine. The Atlantic....full of old wrecks, fish sh-t and crabs.

and weaken the social safety net.Before the "social safety net" (government dependency) there was charity, freely given. Since RATs don't want to give of their own store, they prefer the government to take from others.

Thank you for the suggestion on the TruthFile. He actually wasn’t my first choice either as you say he is the only alternative to Obama at the moment. And he has started to grow on me especially after he picked Ryan for his running mate and seeing him in action against Obama. And at least he is better than McCain who I have always had a problem with.
