Romney Hit the Target @ NRA Speech

Romney spoke from the heart on many issues that conservatives care about today and did so in a convincing way in my opinion. To me it was heartfelt. I say that since “everyone” says BHO is such a great speaker but when it’s teleprompted, it never seems heartfelt, unless he’s angry which is all the time lately.

The point is, Romney covered a lot of topics but the gist was he wants to restore America to the land of liberty. And it was believable, to me, even bringing a couple of tears when he talked about the soldier returning home in a casket at Logan. He talked about following the Constitution if he were to be elected. Maybe he has changed his viewpoints over time like most people in their 40′s plus have done so based on experience and knowledge.

So before you verbally beat me up as a RomneyBot, which I’m not if you’ve read any of my posts, I hope all will view the speech and make your own observations. I think he hit this one out of the ballpark.

    But it’s true – I know many friends and relatives whose politics and values do a 180-degree swing as they move into middle age.

    It was an uplifting speech, and Mitt hit Obama hard. I just hope he is ready for the bare-knuckles fight that’s coming.

    It really was a great speech that seemed very true to American values and came from the heart. I think he is a good man with nothing up his sleeve to trick us later. Thank you Zachv!

    Second Amendment types (I’m a life NRA member) can be single-issue voters. Most don’t trust Obama on guns because of his “clinging to religion and guns” remark. Good for Romney. Smart political move.

    We all have issues with his record, but humor me on a possibility for a moment:

    He knows if he is elected that he will be on a short leash…particularly if we elect strong majorities in the House and Senate. How do we know he won’t surprise many and move to the right?

    Look at what he is saying on taxes…the 2nd Amendment…energy…and a host of other issues.

    We can’t know whether his words match his action until we work to elect him, but we do know one thing: If we don’t elect him, we KNOW what we’ll get from 2013-2017…Obama x 1000.

    I suspect he’d govern much like Reagan, who really wasn’t a hard-right conservative.

    Americans favor conservative values when not distracted by the propaganda machine.
