is he the perfect candidate? no. has there ever been? no. was he a good choice? ya.
i like paul ryan a hell of a lot more than romney. but obama is ruining this country so much that i would have voted for whoever the republican candidate is/was.
Romney wasn't my first choice (my #1 choice didn't run this time for Pres but looks like a possible/probable 16 candidate should Romney fail to win). I think several people didn't/don't feel Obama is beatable so they didn't get in the race. I also think the Reps have a better/deeper bench for the future than the dems (Rubio, Rand Paul, Martinez, Haley, Jindal, Christie, Ryan, etc...) Look incumbents have an incredible advantage (especially the President). They get to fly around in Air Force one on taxpayer's dime on "official" business when everyone knows they are REALLY campaigning (both parties do this).
He also wasn't my #1 choice in the primary. By the time we got to TX the thing was decided so I cast my vote for Romney. I have "issues" with Romney. However, unlike some on the right I give him "some slack". Look the guy ran for office and governed in TAXACHUSETTS! Having lived in RI for 4 years its another planet up there compared to Red States. As such, he had to "play games" on a # of issues that cause him problems on the right. (see abortion)
The problem this now causes is people aren't 100% sure where Romney stands on various issues. I actually think he is a conservative on most issues and will govern as such. I cast my vote for the most conservative candidate that has a realistic shot of winning.
In sum, Romney = not perfect (noone is) but actually a really good candidate particularly given the issues of the day (the economy) that he is uniquely qualified to handle and hopefully turn around. He also picked quite possibly the best candidate for the other issue of our time (the debt). If they can solve the economy and the debt Romney/Ryan could set up a LONG run of Reps in the White House.
Love me some "Buffet Rule Act". :nod: I believe Huckabee did something similar while governor of Arkansas calling it a "tax me more" law that generated like $100 bucks in extra revenue.

The truth: liberals want to raise taxes on anyone well except me but here go after that guy!!!! He's EVIL!!!!!
I look at it more this way... Can we take four more years of Obama's policies? You have to imagine what this guy can do to in four more years knowing he does not have to worry about getting re-elected. You could pretty much stick anyone with an R beside their name and I would vote for them.

During a Wednesday broadcast of MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” which airs weekdays at 1 p.m. (EST), the show‘s host said she wouldn’t air the 1998 audio of President Barack Obama claiming he supports “redistribution” because it hasn’t been “verified” by her network.
:D
NBC verifying something? :fp:

Before he judges other people about paying federal income taxes, Gov. Romney should come clean about the tax returns he's hiding from voters."
If you do not see the irony here, you probably do not follow politics closely enough.

I've had more. Easily.
Not that something like logic should stop stuff like this from being talked about ;)
Pssh, that's like a pocket of pennies for Romney.
Then whatever you do, do not Google Joe Biden + Donations. Apparently he disagrees with you, as do most limousine liberals, because charity should start at taxing the rich so government can do what is best with your money. They know better than you, just look at how profitable federal government run operations are. The postal service just posted a 5.2 billion quarterly loss last month. Meanwhile UPS and Fed Ex are growing. Care to guess who the biggest supplier for the USPS during the last 9 years?

Spoiler: show
And what is the reason why they posted a $5.2 billion quarterly loss last month, that is not required of ANY other business or organization run by or affiliated with the federal government?
"Whatever you do"? Really? Yawn. You misunderstood. I applauded him for giving some of the ridiculous amount of can't-possibly-need-this money that he has, to charity. The fact that charity is now a political football is sickening. The fact that is a dick-measuring contest is worse.
Yes, it's pathetic that I give more to charity than Biden does. But I also know there are plenty of ulterior motives whenever anyone who is rich is giving to charity. Except maybe Bill Gates. So I'm not exactly going to just take Romney's donations at face value. On the flip side, it doesn't surprise me in the least when people don't give to charity (e.g. Biden).
I agree completely Jeff, especially the political football/dick measuring contest part.
As for me, I give very little monetarily to charity, but I give my time a lot. Work-related wise, I give a lot of time and a lot of money. Our two campaigns at work, Christmas for Kids (toy drive for local kids/families) and Neighbors in Need (food for local food pantries), I regularly spend the drives working 12+ hour days Monday through Friday, and anything involved with the campaigns that I am not sitting in a studio at work for (which is 90% of the campaigns as I much prefer being out in public helping at live drives, we do not put down hours for on our weekly timecards or get paid for. So there are easily well hundreds of hours every year, last Thursday of October through middle of December, standing on streets all over NW Ohio collecting money, new unwrapped toys and non-perishable food for both campaigns.
I've been involved with both campaigns since 2005, originally as a volunteer through one of the organizations I was involved with while at college, and originally was only supposed to volunteer one day, during the kickoff drive of one of the campaigns, but instead personally got involved and help out with and stayed with the rest of the campaigns that year, and went back the following years, and then have been involved with them as an employee of Clear Channel since 2008. From 2005 through 2007, I gave well into the thousands of hours of my own personal time, time I could have spent studying for classes and finals or having fun at college. And since 2008, I have given well into the thousands of hours of my time and well into the thousands, if not tens of thousands, of money that I would have received in my paychecks, but instead voluntarily forfeited by choosing to go out personally to live drives instead of sitting in the studio running the board for the remotes (which I basically have my free choosing of whatever hours I want on board during the campaigns and whatever I choose to not do, those hours get tossed to the remaining board ops to pick and split, god bless seniority and higher ranking in the office).
So I already donate hundreds of hours of my time and thousands of dollars out of what would have been money in my paycheck to the local charities we help (and as opposed to national charities, every single cent collected during the campaigns stays completely in NW Ohio, and every single cent collected goes to the local charities, corporate completely covers any and all overhead costs, so all the money collected goes directly to the charities instead of money taken out of the totals for overhead), so I generally donate very little to other, national, charities, at least donations that I can claim on my taxes.
I have never cared nor been concerned with what others choose to do with their money. I am concerned with what others choose to do with my money.
On the Biden v. Romney topic. Romney gave 1000X as much to charity in ONE YEAR as the Veep gave in the LAST DECADE.

It's all over but the crying for the commies.

Funny how no one mentions that ALL of Romney's charity givings go to his "church" for his "religion" and nevermind that his "religion" believes in magic underwear and that the profit was some blond haired country bumpkin in the 1700s. :fp:
Just a walking, talking, living, breathing mouthpiece for the left I see. Did you copy that from Chris Matthews blog? Now let's look closely at the "all" remark.
Watch as I use a source.
