Well, the people who were already going to vote for him LOVED that he told the truth. The "fence sitters", depending on whether they are left leaning or right leaning will either love it or hate it.

It will turn off as many people as it endears. People (even some so-called liberals) are a little sick and tired of paying for the deadbeats (i.e. victims) in this country.

He was also a supporter of a war his country was involved in as well as the draft used to man it yet conveniently avoided both. He's a spoiled little man.

His solutions are displayed everyday on www.mittromney.com. You seem to be able to use the internet but, it is strange that you can't find his plan. Just picked up an pamphlet for Romney a couple of hours ago. Here's a little bit about his plans. There are more on his site. Even though you will probably just ignore it:

-End obamacare so that it will save the horrible $716 billion cuts to Medicare benefits. And then replace it with commonsense health care reform.

-Reward job creators by cutting their tax rates and reform the tax code.

-Put work back into welfare.

-Increase access to domestic energy resources by streamlining the permit protocols, eliminate regualtions destroying the coal industry, and approving the Keystone pipeline.

-Cap federal spending below 20% of the economy.

I've looked on obama's site and his "solutions" look like they are the same as they have been. So, if you like having a trillion dollars a year being spent in your tax money...if you like the idea of cutting seniors Medicare...if you like all the Americans being killed overseas...if you like no economic growth...if you like more people being dependent on the government...if you like to continue our dependence on the cess pool we call the middle east...then vote for obama. I personally think the only thing obama would improve over the next four years, is his golf game.

Not stupid at all. Just because the fed has major issues does not mean the frigging world or this nation is coming to an end. The 50 states are more important than a defunct fed. One third of those who have contributed to FICA never receive the benefit, they die.

I'm sorry, but it is the EPITOME of moronic to suggest that because some deadbeat pays a tax on a pack of cigarettes that he's suddenly a contributor to society.

but what most of us would like to here is what comprehensive health care reform, by his own admission what he did in Mass. as far as health care was Obamacare in a nutshell only the state didn't have to pay for it...there's already rules that say you have to work 20 hours a week or 80 hours a month...though i wouldn't mind seeing that going up

I would have liked to have heard what obama care was going to be about, before it was passed too. But, we were not allowed by esteemed leader to see it. And what Romney did in Mass does not cut into Medicare to pay for able-bodied people to have healthcare. The laws for working for welfare have been changed by obama.

Today's daily poll show Romney 48%, Obama 46%. I was expecting to see something drastic.

How about we focus on what people actually do, and not what they say in some off the cuff comment?

You folks just refuse to look at what Obama has done to our country, and hope some offhand comment by Romney will matter at all, when it is meaningless when compared to this disastrous Obama economy, which has been "the worst economy since the Great Depression" for four years now. /runonsentence

BTW, Michelle is not fat, she is just husky.
