I do think that as a business man he will work to create policy that is pro business and THAT is what we really need right now. All other issues can wait for another day- but what we need is that other day. All the peripheral issues that can matter in a normal election cycle are simply unimportant given the economic quagmire we are in. So who is best suited to tackle that problem? When I forgot all the peripheral issues and just looked through that lens-Romney stood out.
Well, the last thing I want to see is government ran like a business. But even if I agreed with you on that point, again I have to ask - what leads you to believe he would do any of the things he says? Why do you think he would be any more honest than Obama? OR Bush?
I am not asking for, nor saying that, Romney is going to run government like a business. What I am saying is, that due to his understanding of business, he knows what government can do to get the business engine running again. And I do want a president that can do that...as I am sure you do as well.

No, actually I don't. I don't want a government preoccupied with mashing the gas on GDP. I want a government that worries about matters of justice and protects our freedom to live the way we want. One that stays out of the way and allows each of us the freedom to pursue our own version of the good life - not one that defines the good life for us and pushes us to adopt it.
IN any case, that's a sidetrack from the point I was trying to make about Romney. To repeat: "But even if I agreed with you on that point, again I have to ask - what leads you to believe he would do any of the things he says? Why do you think he would be any more honest than Obama? OR Bush?"

I don't want that. A president who gets out of the way of business and lets them run rough shod over the country is a president who is not doing his job.
You all need to stop thinking of businesses as these kind, benevolent beings. They aren't Santa.
I know that many of my fellow republican's are not keen on Romney. I admit that at first I was not so much either- Then I started listening to him. The guy is just what we need in this economic climate. His ideas WILL work at jump-starting the economy. He understands what kind of policy and legislation is necessary to loosen the purse strings of business and investors.
Does it really matter if he's anti gay marriage? Is gay marriage really what's driving our economic downturn?
We have had 4 years of charm and charisma- Obama the perfect representation of an empty suit. Perry is a loose cannon; Paul is an ideological theorist, important voice- with unrealistic positions. Bachmann IMO is not proving real leadership when she backs down from questions about her evangelicalism and uses TEA Party affiliation as her own personal voting block.
I think Romney understands that the priority needs to be the economy. That he knows exactly how to implement the necessary repairs to start our economic engine.
I'd prefer Romney over Perry or any other repub, but I also prefer any of them over Obama.

But Southerners shouldnt rule out Romney and Romney is certainly right to not give up the South without a fight. Not only did he do well in Florida the last time around, as he pointed out, but, surprisingly, hes also consistently polled well this cycle in South Carolina, the semblance seat of Southern graciousness. Republican voters in the South no less than in any other region want a Republican candidate who can capture the whole country and, right now, Romney looks to be that (he obviously does well in the East, for example, and hes the leader in the Midwest, too). So, too, do they want a candidate who can capture independents. Of course, that could be either Romney or Perry. In Florida, for example, independent voters would favor either Romney or Perry over a president who performed poorly during the debt ceiling debate. Point is: Its hard to see Romney beating out Perry in the South, but it could happen, especially if he keeps his head down and campaigns assiduously across the country. In this, as in anything, humility and hard work go a long way. <snip>

So he's going to do with America what he did to AmPad? You know, fire everyone, take on a shitload of debt, and then pawn off worthless stock on the stockholders before they file bankruptcy while his cronies collect "management fees".
Romney remains the worst person the GOP could possibly nominate, which is why he'll probably get the nomination. The GOP establishment might play to the TEA party and religious right, but have as much contempt for them as the Democrats have. Pass the "Grey Poopon"
Unless, of course, the majority of GOP voters have the good sense to reject them and pick their own candidate, not theirs.

Romney is a Mormon an unelectable. Perry is a whoermonger and homosexual

Over obama? Of course they will. He'll pick a running mate to shore up his weak spots with the South and the religious right.

22% of the electorate won't vote for a Mormon, idiot.
Bad News For Mitt Romney: 22% Of Americans Won
You can't paper over his problem with the evangelicals. They hate the Mormons because they are "heretics".
A lot of them will stay home and others will vote for third parties. Probably just enough to give Obama the edge in Florida, Virginia, North Carolina and Missouri.

When it comes down to him or obama? They sure as hell will vote for him. He'll also have a running mate that those 22% adore telling them it's important they do so. Sorry liberal bigot.

When it comes down to him or Obama-
They could
1) Vote for a third party.
2) Stay Home
3) Vote for Obama out of spite.

Keep wishin' and hopin' liberal bigot. obama's gonna have 8+% unemployment, possibly a double-dip, his signature healthcare plan shot down by the courts, a corrupt DOJ under investigation(s), escalating losses in Afghanistan because instead of listening to his commanders on the ground he made a 'campaign' decision, dopey 20-somethings that won't be 'fired up' to actually vote this time (they usually don't), and a general revolt among the far left end of his own party. And if you make assumptions about the rest of the country based on your own vile bigotry, then you are as stupid as I think you are.

What IS his economic turnaround plan?
Not hating on Obama, I'm sure he's an okay guy. But his policies suck, I don't need to wait until the end of his admin to see that.
Just how is Romney the answer to this country's economic problems? During his tenure as Gov, his state was 47th in job creation. Joe has already mentioned the heinous things he did as a private businessman.
