Romney is liberal in every sense of the word. Gun Control, Abortion, Big Government... and on and on and on.<br /><br />The concept that just because he is a successful businessman he must be a Republican is laughable. Soros, Buffet, and Bill Gates (Sr. AND Jr.) are all successful businessmen and they're liberal Democrats through and through.<br /><br />We should be trying to convince people to support Santorum, not jumping on the Romney bandwagon to slightly slower growth of government.TrueBluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05802656732420897274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-33780367897332690002012-02-05T04:28:04.886-05:002012-02-05T04:28:04.886-05:00Romney won Nevada today and I am jumping on the ba...Romney won Nevada today and I am jumping on the bandwagon. Newt comes across as a hypocritical manipulative, big-govt mastermind type with an ego bigger than the national debt. I really learned so much about these two candidates and my esteem for Newt rocketed - straight down - with everything I've learned about him. He was IN on the Freddie and Fannie scheme which caused the bankruptcies, then bailouts and then tea-party in the first place. I used to be a NO-Romney Republican but as the campaign progressed he fell into the good enough category and then graduated up to the best of the bunch from among the 4 Republicans. I love Paul on economics and domestic but have no faith in his positions on state sponsors of terrorism pursuing wmd and putting the world and humanity in jeopardy. I don't buy his blame-America first nonsense at all. Do people know what overseas military operations and military discretionary spending upon which our security rests accounts for about 18.7% ? This means that 81.3% is going into everything else! History has shown that tyrants terrorists and fascists must be put in check and discouraged from acts of expansion proliferation aggression and terrorism because if they are not they will only gain ground and power from which it will only become costlier more dangerous and difficult to face. Looking the other way and not interfering will NOt make America's enemies love liberty and civilization. That is the REALItY and it ain't pretty. They only respect strength, and military strength more than any other kind. I like Santorum but we're wasting time money energy with this extended primary I think its gone on long enough and I believe the best candidate from the four has emerged ( I was for Herman Cain) which is why today I decided on Romney.defendithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07323978874600181457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-37683204886490799272012-02-05T04:27:32.538-05:002012-02-05T04:27:32.538-05:00Romney won Nevada today and I am jumping on the ba...Romney won Nevada today and I am jumping on the bandwagon.

Personally, I like boring when it comes to politicians.<br /><br />Odds are things would have kept going good if so much of the country hadn't been borrowing 2/3 of the money they spent on speculating. Massive lending and borrowing caused the Great Depression (not Coolidge's policies)... kind of like the massive lending and borrowing in the housing market crash.<br /><br />On a related note to the housing topic, keep an eye out for another possible crash in the college sector as the federal government plans to increase student loans by over 50% in the near future. All that lending and borrowing, without income to pay it back...TrueBluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05802656732420897274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-32814163529330340642012-01-24T13:04:20.023-05:002012-01-24T13:04:20.023-05:00I am sadly, reluctantly, resignedly going to have ...I am sadly, reluctantly, resignedly going to have to agree with you.<br /><br />I like Santorum generally on policy, but his demeanor comes across as whiny and moralizing. That isn't going to fly these days.<br /><br />While I would love *LOVE* to see Gingrich obliterate Obama in a debate, I am not sure what else I can count on with him. He brings so much baggage that the country is full of people who will not vote for him in any circumstance. And that gets us four more years...Jennynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-5877079337819053632012-01-24T12:11:52.701-05:002012-01-24T12:11:52.701-05:00Sorry but you are wrong.
