Would Romney really be that bad a President?

[TruthSeeker56]

He'd be better than Obama.... I wouldn't say he would make a "good" president tho.

Let's just say he is the lesser of the two evils...........

During my lifetime of almost 60 years, EVERY Presidential election has been nothing more than choosing between the "lesser of two evils", with the lone exception being 1980 and 1984, when I happily voted for Ronald Reagan twice.

People voting that way has been fantastic for the country, hasn't it?

Voting for radical community organizers with zero experience has been far worse, moron.

I tend to think so. A lot of Republicans do too. He doesn't seem to exhibit any real understanding of the pressures that most Americans face. Not that President Obama has his finger on the pulse of America but if we expect our President to be somewhat engaged, Romney doesn't seem to be the guy.

I find it rather amusing that someone thinks Romney doesn't have an understanding of the pressures that most Americans face at the same time supporting a President that flew off to Martha's Vineyard to play golf for ten days after announcing that those same Americans under that pressure would have to wait to hear what his "sweeping" jobs plan would be and then returned with nothing more than a watered down version of the first stimulus.

Obama has taken being "disengaged" to a whole new level.

Say what you will about Romney...he's proven that he can work across the aisle to get things done. What other candidate out there running today can make the same claim? The President can't.

 

[TruthSeeker56]

To liberals he would be the WORST.

Not because he would truly be a bad president, but because this nation has become so divided and so unable to compromise on any point whatsoever, that we have become two countries who are vastly divergent.

That's the lefts fault.

The left wants to take a totalitarian position and compromise with authoritarian.

This is what happens when the left elects wolves in sheeps clothing...

Romney is no more RINO than the RINO's from the 80's and 90's - progressives on the other hand are moving toward totalitarianism at a mindboggling rate.

It's almost like the leftists have taken the ball from Stalin and now want to continue to run with it...

What the progressives/leftists/communists/Democrats/liberals (I put them all in the same putrid barrel) fail to understand and fathom, is the FACT that the United States has the world's LARGEST standing army. This army is called the "citizen's army".

MILLIONS of people own firearms, and MILLIONS of Americans have had enough of dealing with the FORCES OF EVIL (aka "the politicians").

The politicians apparently don't understand the concept of ARMED REVOLT, don't understand that there is a LINE they dare not cross, and don't understand how CLOSE they are to crossing it.

There is a breaking point.........a point of no return.

Stalin did not go so far as to declare pregnancy a preventable illness.

I agree, I would love to know what that breaking point is tho...

Obama is ruling like some sort of socialist dictator and people sit with their thumbs up their asses.

Do we wait until the tyrannical government comes for our guns??? because they wont do that - they will just indoctrinate people until they willingly just hand them over...

At what point do people say: enough is enough?

IMO, we're 20 years away from being Stalinist Russia...

No he just put bullets in peoples heads via his execution orders...

Stalin had too much fun killing those out of the womb..

He was too busy culling, purging and starving people to death - that and stealing countries..

He had too much on his plate to think about pregnancy being a preventable illness..

Romney is the archetypal corporatist. As President he would put the finishing touches on the union movement and the middle class. Our economy and social structure would revert to those of the Gilded Age and the U.S. would consist of a monied aristocracy and a servant class.

Romney is a moderate Republican who has been successful in both the private sector and the public sector. He was the Republican Governor of a heavily Democratic State and managed to work with the other party to run Massachusetts efficiently. Instead of the bombastic language about what you "think" Romney is going to do (Gilded Age? Really?) just take a look at what he HAS done.

I agree. We should want a President who does not treat the left like Obama treats the right. This politics of divide and conquer really just needs to stop. Romney - of all the Republicans on offer - has the experience, and the brains, and the backbone to do it.

Hilarious responses...thanks to you all.

Hilarious responses...thanks to you all.

You're the one who started a string by asking a question and then answering it. If you don't want a different opinion then don't ask the question in the first place.

What I find "hilarious" is that you think Barack Obama has his "finger on the pulse of America." He's a man who went to an exclusive private school in Hawaii...raised by his well to do Grandparents...then used Affirmative Action to get into Columbia and Harvard Law School...used his selection as the first black President of the Law Review to get himself a six figure book deal, a token job with a prestigious Chicago law firm and a teaching position at the University of Chicago...parlayed that into a State and US Senator's job and ultimately the Presidency of the United States and a Nobel Peace Prize...all without doing ANYTHING noteworthy in his entire adult life. Now THAT is hilarious!

As I said, hilarious. If he beats Romney and maintains the Presidency will you give him some credit for doing something "noteworthy" then? LOL.... As if getting into Columbia and Harvard are not "noteworthy". I'm sure your junior college rejection letter really stands up to it.

Romney may. Or Romney may not.

But Obama certainly acts like he does not.

So we have a choice. We have a guy who may or may not understand the pressures Americans face but does understand the pressures businesses face, and what businesses need to be more confident to create jobs, which helps alleviate the pressures Americans face.

Or, we have a guy who appears to neither understand the pressures Americans nor businesses face, thus seems to be at a loss on how to get job creation going again, and thus alleviate the pressures Americans face.

It doesn't seem to be that much of a choice if you look at it that way.

The guy who bets another guy $10K is "in touch"? Okay...

If that is "in touch" I'm curious what characteristics may signal being aloof.

Guess we will never be able to do that 'comparison' now will we???

Obama's records are sealed

Wonder why

Would Romney really be that bad a President?

The problem isn’t Romney, it’s the people he’d ‘bring’ into his administration; the judicial appointments, the various administrative postings (administrators, btw, who develop and implement the actual day to day policies, much of which a given president isn’t even aware of), and how those administrators would reprioritize and reorganize various policies.

Romney’s likely a decent man, but he’s too weak and indecisive, there’d be some Cheney-type running things from behind the curtain.

Besides, it’s too soon to go back to the nonsense of a republican administration, they’ll be back soon enough; the Nation needs another 4 year break from the idiocy of the GOP.
