To: Still Thinking

I don’t disagree with anything said here. I think #9 hits it home for me. Mitt calculates, ponders... then acts. There is nothing wrong with that, and in a CEO he probably is very very effective. Sarah needs to be more like that. Maybe she is.

But here is the point. I know there is much venom shown on this forum against Mitt. We need Mitt. Maybe the place for him is a working VP, this country needs some hardboiled systematic leadership in the business sense.

I don’t think Mitt is the President... he is the go to guy..He is the half back....and I think he can take a hit.

The republicans have a fine cross section of doers. I don’t want them to destroy each other. They need to lift each other.

I don’t know if Sarah is going to run. Bringing Perry into the mix pretty much satisfies the conservative thinking. She can’t say that there is NOONE carrying the message.

She might be the bigger star in the background as REagan was with Goldwater.

Perry is a strong seasoned governor of a successful state. Texas is what California was.

I wholeheartedly disagree. If for no other reason than, at best, Romney's dishonest and willfully ignorant.

Romney has held every positions on every topic than I can count, and often shows a frightening level of dishonesty on certain issues. He shows a frightening level of ignorance, to be charitable, on others.

Like saying that he's always been pro-life. That is a lie.

Or saying that he's been a life-long hunter. As if it were true (it isn't) or as if that is what the 2nd Amendment is about (it isn't).

And by saying that he wants to get rid of weapons of which can be used against the police. No one is advocating hurting a police officer, but all guns are lethal, so he's advocating banning pretty much all of them. Except when he says he isn't. That is a lie and/or misdirection, and/or an inability to think or speak clearly. Or all four. Take your pick.

Please tell me why we "need" that? I'm not asking for a list of what you feel his strengths are. I am asking exactly why we need a liar and/or someone who practices misdirection and spouts ignorance to lead us?
