I refuse to vote for Mitt Romney

Don't see saved anywhere in this quote from Romer's report, please point it out to me. where are those 3-4 million jobs created?

"the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office released a report in August [of 2010] that said the stimulus bill has "[l]owered the unemployment rate by between 0.7 percentage points and 1.8 percentage points" and "ncreased the number of people employed by between 1.4 million and 3.3 million."
 
The problem is that Mitt Romney is NOT A CONSERVATIVE!!

You might as well vote for a democrat!

Sorry, if the choice is Romney vs. Obama, the choice is clear, Romney and Coulter nails it

This is going to be a tough election, and a man with the presence of Rick Lazio is not the strongest candidate to send in against Obama. Santorum is more assistant-manager type than presidential material.

So it was a relief to see that when the first votes in the Republican primary were actually cast -- even in a caucus system ideal for zealots, fanatics and mobs -- reason prevailed. Romney won.

Not a professional politician, Romney has created a lot of jobs and also knows how to fire people, something heretofore untried in the federal workforce, except briefly by Reagan.

Having spent his life turning around companies in the private sector and not sitting on some Senate committee spending money, he'll get to Washington and be as shocked as the rest of us are at how taxpayer money is wasted even by conservative senators like Santorum.

Iowa shows that Republicans are still the party of normal people -- normal people who are determined to defeat Obama.
 
Right, saw how I was busted by bea.gov data, LOL, Maybe you aren't as smart as I want to give you credit for.

You've been busted on the bea.gov data countless times. :lol:

Tell that to BLS as apparently they got it wrong. how can there be a 1.4 million to 3.3 million job increase and still have a net job loss?

Saved or created....
 
Saved or created....

That isn't what Romer stated, there is nothing in that report talking about saved jobs, it was 3-4 million created. you really are brainwashed aren't you?

I don't see saved in the CBO report. Do you always make things up that aren't there? you don't increase employment by saving jobs

Man Coulter! :lol:

Romney not a professional politician? What has been doing for the last 12 years? He's either been serving in office or running for office for over a decade. And that's not including his previous failed campaign against TK.

Of course you don't see it there because you're choosing to quote someone paraphrasing rarher than relying on the quote from the actual source.

And this would be yet another instance of you lying since I've already shown you in the past were the word "save" was used.
 
The choice ISN'T Romney vs Obama. You have Gingrich, Santorum, and Perry still in the race... all of whom ARE conservative. Vote for one of them, or stop calling yourself a conservative.

People like you who are giving in and voting Romeny are selling the conservative movement down the river.

BS, everyone of them have said or supported something that isn't conservative. Gingrich....AGW anyone? Santorum....never saw an earmark he didn't like. Perry....was a friggin Democrat for crying out loud not to mention he's Bush/Mccain Redux on immigration.

Everyone of these candidates are flawed in regards to conservatism. Everyone one of them, including Romney, would still make a much better President than the current individual that resides on occasion in the WH.
 
Iowa caucuses confirm evangelicals and very conservative reject Romney.

"Evangelicals: Mitt Romney, the winner of the caucuses by just eight votes over Rick Santorum, clearly has a problem with evangelicals. Mr. Romney won just 14 percent of those who describe themselves as either evangelical or born-again Christian, while Mr. Santorum won that demographic, with 32 percent. That won’t matter much in New Hampshire, but it’s important in the South Carolina primary on Jan. 21. It also matters in northern Florida, which is part of the Old South. Florida’s primary is on Jan.

Conservatives: Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts, also faces a deficit among those who self-identify as “very conservative.” He won only 14 percent of those caucusgoers, down from 23 percent of that group in 2008. Santorum, a former senator from Pennsylvania, won a plurality of the “very conservative” with 34 percent. Romney beat out the field among voters who are “somewhat conservative” with 33 percent and those who are “moderate,” with 38 percent. But in a cycle fueled by conservative angst about government spending and the economy, Romney needs to win their support if not their love."

There you go again. Maybe you should do something other than just look at the pretty pictures. From Roemer's report:
More than 90 percent of the jobs created are likely to be in the private sector. Many of
the government jobs are likely to be professionals whose jobs are saved from state and
local budget cuts by state fiscal relief.

As stated, you don't increase employment by saving jobs, try again. Please explain why it is the taxpayers of my state's responsibility to save jobs in your community?

Ya think possibly people in other states might possibly buy one, two a few of the trucks that are assembled at the GM assembly plant in Arlington Texas........

You claimed that Roemer's report didn't say anything about saved jobs and you were proven a liar again. Now you want to change the subject, which is par for your course.

In terms of unemployment there is no difference between saving a job and creating a job.
 
Romeny is FAR to the left of the others. For what it's worth, I support Gingrich and then Santorum.\

Here is Romney's record.

On Jobs and Growth: According to the Wall Street Journal... "it shows how timid Romney's plan is in comparison (to the others)" and called his jobs and growth plan similar to Barack Obama

Taxes:No significant tax reform. Raised taxes and fees as Massachusetts Governor.

Defending Life: Expanded abortion services in Massachusetts and REQUIRED that planned parenthood be given power to have a seat on MassHealth Payment Policy Board.

Guns: "We do have tough gun laws in Massachusetts, I support them, and I don't intend to chip away at them" - Mitt Romeny

Contract With America: "Let me tell you... in my view it is not a good idea to go into a contract... I'd rather let's say let's get together and work together" - Mitt Romeny

On Republicans: "Look, I was an INDEPENDENT during the time of Reagan/Bush. I'm not trying to return to Reagan/Bush" -Mitt Romeny


MITT ROMNEY IS NOT A CONSERVATIVE. AT BEST, HE IS A MASSACHUSETTS MODERATE... I WOULD GO AS FAR AS TO CALL ROMNEY A PROGRESSIVE.

Too bad dealerships weren't saved, as those are jobs in the community but then again those aren't union jobs.

Is that what they teach you in liberal school? What is it about liberalism that creates this kind of loyalty. Stop being an ass, you don't increase employment by saving jobs, period. The issue wasn't unemployment it was a a commitment to increase employment. Do you know the difference?

Mitt Romney vs Obama? Hmmmm, let's see, now who would you vote for? I will take the Romney record in a heartbeat over Obama's and in fact, people ignored the Obama record and resume and voted for him anyway. We all know how that has worked out.

That's just what anyone with a lick of common sense knows. If someone is fired, that's one person unemployed. If someone is hired in a new job, that's one person employed. If one person is fired, and another person is hired, there's no change. Pretty basic arithmetic, even for a conservative.

Your surrender is accepted.

FYI GM assembly plant Arlington Texas......Texas is a right to work state!

LOL, pretty simple math, you have 100 people employed and you save 10 jobs does that mean there is an increase in employment? The employment remains at 100 so no increase. Really, Adam, what is it about liberalism that creates this kind of loyalty? Do you really want this country to be like Europe?

How does it enhance the conservative "movement" by re-electing Barack Obama? Didn't say it was Romney, but if it is Romney vs. Obama what do you do?
