In what ways will the US be better when Romney takes office?

Hairytic said:
The military doesn't support Romney. That is a blanket statement you can't prove. I know a lot of military that support Obama. Michelle Obama and Jill Biden have worked hard to help the troops returning from war. Barack Obama tried to get a jobs bill for the vets passed. The GOP blocked it. Romney says nothing about how he would help the veterans. The foundation of this country has nothing to do with solving all of our conflicts with war. Liberalism didn't cost this country troops. Greed cost this country troops. Halliburton and the defense contractors make more money when we are at war. That is why the Iraq war was our longest war. Bush didn't win that war. He created more problems for the US. Bush made the US look like war mongers. Obama showed strength in going after the terrorists and he didn't have to wage war to do it. We are much safer now than we were when Bush was in office.

It’s my belief that Romney will try to promote growth in industry and business, he has the experience to accomplish this. Growth in industry and business, in turn means jobs. Which in turn means a stronger middle class. All these things are needed .


Obama promised to reach across the aisle and work with Republicans, he has not done that, and shows no sign of doing so. Romney has proven that he can do that with his term as Governor of Mass. This is something that is needed and badly needed in Washington .


I think that Romney will be able to, not repeal the health care bill, but to tweak it hard enough to make it something that is more suitable for all.


Romney is a businessman, and a highly successful one. I don’t think anyone on either side can deny that. If you have a company that is in deep trouble financially, you need to increase revenue and decrease costs.
If you look at our country, it has the same needs, we need to increase our tax revenue, and decrease our spending.. Something that Romney has shown he is capable of doing. Running our country he will have a much larger parameter to do these things. But once again, Romney has the experience on doing these things.


Last is his tax plan, I believe it’s a good thing that he wants to simplify our tax codes. I also believe that you can lower the rates of all Americans, eliminate some deductions and come up with more tax revenue then our present system

Romney wasn’t just a business man. He was a venture capitalist. They do not care about job creation or how they effect the economy. They just look at profit. Romney also shipped jobs to China. That isn’t very patriotic and it doesn’t show a concern for American workers.
Next, it would be difficult to trust that Romney would do what he says he would do because he flip flops too much.
Obama did reach across the aisle to the point of angering his base. Obama can’t force people to work with him. I don’t see that Romney would get any better cooperation from the Democrats that Obama got from the Republicans. The far right isn’t willing to compromise, and you can’t work out deals like that. The Democrats will not work with the far right.
Romney will repeal Obamacare. His party wants it repealed, and he is a puppet. Romney promised his based that he would repeal Obamacare on day 1. Do you really think he will go against his base?
The way Romney ran Bain was not how most businesses run. Romney was about making money at any cost. A lot of the businesses he got his hands on where stripped of their resources and Romney ran the debt up on them to make more money. Once the company was insolvent, he let the companies go bankrupt leaving a big mess behind.
Romney isn’t proposing to increase our tax revenue or decreasing our spending. What Romney wants to do, based on what he has said, is to decrease spending on social programs and increase military spending to excess.
Romney’s tax plan makes no sense at all. He wants to cut taxes by 20% and close a few loop holes. There is no way he can cut taxes by 20% and close enough loop holes and eliminate some deductions to generate more revenue. It is impossible.

So just exactly how is Romney going to "fix" the situation in the M.E.? exactly.

Since Romney left office in January 2007 and the election was in November 2008 your statement doesn't seem to have a lot of merit

All the Obama lovers stay out of this. I want the romney or republicans to tell me when Romney gets elected what i can expect to get better. I want you to be as specific as possible.

Interesting how he didn't bring up any of those so called kept promises during the debate with Romney. Guess his teleprompter wasn't there to tell him what to say and distort.

Obama's real facts aren't resonating with the public as the latest polls show. Only the true Obama believer who buys the rhetoric believes that having 22.7 million unemployed/under employed/discouraged, 5.4 trillion added to the debt, record numbers on food stamps, 1.3% GDP growth is a positive achievement.

He filed the exploratory paperwork 2 days before leaving office, so it seems you are mistaken about the merit of my statement.

LOL, all of two days before leaving office he filed the EXPLORATORY paperwork? Wow, he really cheated the taxpayers, didn't he. Rather like Obama running for office after being elected to the Senate?
 
Romney's been unemployed since 2007. I'm not going to vote a lazy guy who doesn't even work to be president!

You think he would have filed that paperwork without stumping for the job in the first place. That's just silly.

So your statement is based upon what you think? thanks. We all know how non partisan you are. What is it about Obama that creates this kind of loyalty? Are you really that supportive of the Obama vision for this country?

A) Exactly HOW will he go about executing on that? A1) Does Romney, believe that 47% of the country is Long or Short Division?B1) Does Romney, believe in the Progressive Tax Code?A3) Will he be working across the aisle when he fulfills his first campaign promise to repeal National Healthcare, that Democrats in both the House and Senate voted into law?B3) Will he be working across the aisle when he seeks to increase Military Spending to an excess of $1 trillion, when Democrats in both the House and Senate want current or lower spending levels? A4) Will Romney, have an annual calendar filled with dates for meeting with Foreign Heads of State that he engages through out the year on a constant basis, regardless of who flies into New York City on any specific day of the year? B4) Will Romney, meet with Vladamir Putin, irrespective of his beliefs that Putin [himself] 'endangers the stability and peace of the globe'? A5) Will Romney, publicly announce that his Party takes its share of the responsibility for setting Rome on fire?B5) Will Romney, every take a vacation for the purpose of rest and relaxation given the rigors and the demands placed on the position of Commander In Chief?A6) Does this mean that had Romney, been the President of the United States on September 11th, 2012, that the Ambassador would still be dead?B6) Did President Obama, attend a fund raiser on the same day of the attacks -or- did President Obama, attend a fund raiser the day after the attacks?C) Does all of the North and East African unrest that just flared-up recently, during the 2012 Presidential Elections, seem a bit odd in its timing? A7) Will Romney, accomplish this in the same way that he "promoted U.S. exceptionalism" during his trip to Great Britain before the Olympics? A8) Will Romney, demonstrate his leadership by taking 100 vacations to properties valued at over $8 million, while Rome burns?Romney Criticized for Vacation at Multimillion Dollar New Hampshire Estate - Ken Walsh's Washington (usnews.com)

I will be voting for Romney because of his resume and his record. Did you ask many of those same questions when Obama was running and why aren't you asking Obama the tough questions now? What you fail to understand is that none of the results today have anything to do with Romney and your support for the failures of Obama is noted.

You think that 22.7 million unemployed/under employed/discouraged workers, 5.4 trillion added to the debt, 1.3% GDP growth, record numbers on food stamps, over 100 million dependent on the taxpayers for assistance, failed green energy policies, failed foreign policies trumps your claims and questions about Romney? Apparently the electorate isn't buying your opinions

Romney left Mass. on 212 days in '06 - The Boston Globe

Not what I think, but what everyone but you seems to know. Show me where my non-partisan statements are. This thread was supposed to be about facts that make Romney better than Obama, but I have see them. Just a whole lot of personal opinions and rhetoric.
 
Chaddelamancha said:
I think the problem with this statement is in the context with which it was brought up. Calling out Obama's flexibility with Russia as a bad thing and then labeling them our number one foe sounds like a person stuck in the cold war. How are we to believe that he can successfully negotiate with Russia if that is the case?

Are you kidding, the "flexibility" Obama has for Russia is the kind that allows him to bend over when Putin comes to call. The Russians laugh at Obama and he thinks they're thanking him for the nice DVD boxed set.

Romney balanced the MA budget and took the unemployment rate down to 4.7% which in MA is almost full employment. Romney was successful in his business career and has a record that trumps the Obama failures. That is reality and you saw it last Wednesday night what an empty suit Obama is.

You won't see Romney telling the President of Russia that he will be more flexible after the election

It's easy to lower the umemployment rate when people are leaving your state in droves. What I saw was Mitt lying through his teeth.
