		<description><![CDATA[Just because I don&#039;t think Romney should have been the nominee doesn&#039;t mean I won&#039;t vote for him.

It also doesn&#039;t mean I won&#039;t voice my dislike for his liberal background and incessant lying during the nominating process. I don&#039;t trust or like him and I resent the fact I have to vote for him if I want the most treasonous president ever sent back to Chicago. I don&#039;t expect conservatives will be happy with Romney decisions in many areas including in his campaign. 

Give me one reason I shouldn&#039;t resent being forced to vote for someone nominated by an ill informed electorate and pushed on us by the Republican establishment. Only Romney own actions will make me change or keep my present opinion of him.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s one that we who are supporting Romney more than in spirit are counting on.  Although we know more about him than we know abut Obama, even today, we don&#039;t know exactly how he thinks.  We only know that he &lt;i&gt;does&lt;/i&gt; think, just not with quite the perspective we&#039;d like to see.

Anyway, this situation neatly sums up Romney&#039;s primary problem with his base--we don&#039;t know just how &lt;i&gt;reliable&lt;/i&gt; he will be as a &quot;conservative&quot; President.  That makes the Leavitt appointment very troubling, even to we who are in Romney&#039;s corner.  At best it reveals him to have a tin ear to his public&#039;s voice.

If he doesn&#039;t reverse it quickly,  Mr. Leavitt needs to be &quot;Harriet Miersed&quot; back to the sidelines.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[But I misinterpreted &quot;harsh&quot;.

Actually, I like Connie Mack&#039;s penny plan, which cuts spending by a net of 1% each year, and balances the budget before 2019. But it&#039;s be best if we started slow, and the size of the cuts gradually increases as we approach 2015, before slowly dropping off again. The BCA would have to be amended, of course, and fiscal restraints will also have to be imposed beyond 2020.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[But then again, the thing about this perticular GOP primary, is that with the exception of the Paulies, the one thing all the candidates knew is that no matter what they did in the primary... How mean they were, or what they said....

It&#039;s not like any of us - their supporters - would remotely think of voting for Obama....

That&#039;s probably a good bit of why it was such a hard-fought race... No need to worry about alienating future supporters... You&#039;re running against Prez Zero...

I also like the idea of having a venture capitalist as our candidate, when the theme of the campaign is &#039;Save Bankrupt America&#039;... 

Romney&#039;s argument to be elected is &#039;Hey, I&#039;ve done this before - sure, on a smaller scale... But I can do it again...&#039;

		<description><![CDATA[agreed by his winning the nomination. I really don&#039;t understand the continued reluctancy to support R when first and foremost, we need to get this country back on it&#039;s financial footing and R has exactly the qualifications to do that. We still need both chambers to get it done and if we don&#039;t have both, R like anyone of the former candidates will have a hard time getting his agenda thru to make substantial changes. 

No he won&#039;t please all on social issues or any issue for that matter, but no prez ever has, not even Reagan, and never will. There is no perfect candidate now or ever. 

I say give the man a chance and so far so good on his campaiging.]]></description>

?provide coverage and cost sharing protections against excessive out-of-pocket spending that are at least as affordable? as Obamacare; and

		<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s simple. Because the liberals never stop working.  They will squeeze every dollar and register every voter they can find between now and November, and we don&#039;t have time to sit around and wring our hands over the fact that our own candidate didn&#039;t win the nomination (mine was Gingrich).

I worked a local GOP event this past Saturday and registered more than one voter after convincing them we can&#039;t afford to sit on the sidelines. One woman in particular said she&#039;d vote when I could find a candidate who would just promise to &quot;try&quot; to change things, but she didn&#039;t believe any of them. By the time I was through, she was registered and promising to vote for Romney in November. Will she follow through? I don&#039;t know, but at least I know I did what I could to convince her.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[right of all the Repubs. No one seems to have noticed.   It may matter a great deal some day to all of us, like in the Straits of Taiwan. Bbut thats another subject for another post.  When Romney in Reaganesque fashion  says he wants a bigger Navy and more musdcle in the infantry, he is setting a classic trap for the Dems.  They think about the economy in zero sum game terms and we almost follow them - &quot;how you gonna pay for it?&quot; they whine, admitting thus that Obama **has** left us broke with declining revenue from contracting economy . The smart answer I hope Romney gives is,&quot; after we pass more tax cuts, the Laffer curve will bring much more revenue to the IRS, and the burgeoning new millions of workers re employed, wll pay more payroll tax.  We **will** have more money to work with to bolster defense.  This is not hopeful theory,it&#039;s historical fact.  it succeeded exactlly like this, wildly, in the first Reagan term.  IIRC federal revenue about doubled in just a year. May the Dems try to spring, and fall into, this trap of history and economic theory.]]></description>
