Suppose Romney.................................. (unemployment, vote, democrat, Republicans)

[hawkeye2009]

Let's say that Romney, in his first term-

1. cut unemployment to 5.5% or below

2. personal incomes of Americans rose

3. personal savings of Americans rose

4. orchestrated a decline in federal spending

5. improved US exports

6. stabilized the dollar

7. housing market improved




Would any liberal vote for him for a second term? If not, why not?

[AnUnidentifiedMale]

Why would anyone believe that any president has that much power?

But the proble is:
1. He won't, it not the job of the President
2. How would he do that
3. Again how
4. How, by cutting social programs or any other program Repubs do not like?
5. Such as what, cash to off-shore accounts, he is experienced at that
6. I do not think he has that power,
7. It already is.

Simple questions which lead to more questions, the problem with your questions is you do not explain how he would do those things, and as we all know, the devil is in the details, oh and that, the end does not justify the means.

Probably not they would say it was Obama's policies that created the success heck even Obama would take credit.

You are just being silly. A lot of things improved under Clinton, but it was not because of him. It is only when there is a Republican president that he gets credit for the improvement.

The fact is that the President does not have that much power, nor should he.

I'm not a "liberal", but since I lean left on some issues, I'll answer anyways.

It depends on several factors.

- What, if any policies did Romney put in place to force such change, or did he simply end up in office in the right time.

- If he had pushed/passed any legislation that I disagreed with.

- Who the Democrat candidate was.

There you go.

His cutting of Federal spending in the middle of a economic downturn would tank the economy.

OP takes the partisan assumption all these good things will take place if we just cut more taxes and cut spending.....LOL

It's likely things will get worse if the GOP gets to put their budget measures in place.

If he wins a first term, and did all the above and kick is his right wing supporters and their fellow travelers to the curb. I might consider it.

Like that's going to happen.

Didn't everything in the OP's fantasy, and several times the better, occur under Clinton's administration? So what are republicans trying to prove with this hypothetical?

[urbanlife78]

Sure I would vote for him if he did that and didn't attack any social issues in the process. But how would he do any of those things in the first place? He has been intentionally vague with everything he says and he has Provence himself to say anything you want to hear for a vote.
