Considering the Republican record on stock market growth and job creation over the last 50 years, I'm guessing it's a bit more advanced than rocket science for the average Republican Administration.

It's really not rocket science. With Republican obstructionism there will be little to no growth. The Republican's WANT America to fail. They've been attacking it since the early 80's.
5Million huh ? You really going to buy that ? Next you will be telling us 16 trillion $ debt is a good thing
because it could be soooo much worse, right ?

The lower taxes and restrictions have been in place for about a decade now and all that happened was more difficulty finding work. If this method hasn't worked in the last decade, I don't see how it's going to work in the next one either.

Can Romney claim he'll create 12 Million jobs if he believes Government does not create Jobs?!
He'd have no problem claiming that he could easily ship 12 million jobs overseas if he were President.

Does is it make you feel warm and fuzzy for voting against a "socialist" who presided over one of the most substantial job losses in government, while the stock market roared, and the rich captured most of the recovery gains?

Government has shedded over over half a million jobs since Obama took office, and inequality has only increased. Rich people, like the Koch Bros, have done surprisingly well under the Obama administration while the middle class gets pounded.

I would hate to see what happens under a "non-socialist" President.

Yes, it's not government but rather government poilicies that nurture an enviornment that is friendly to business and investment.

Obama's policies do the opposite, paralize business, regulate them to death, tax them the same way.

No ojne wants to put the captiol out when you have those things hanging over your head.

Note Obama promised and even claims such but he didn't do that.

Trickle down theory was Reaganomics, actually, and was a big part of his platform. George Bush, Sr. called it 'Voodoo economics' and he distanced himself from Reagan's policies in his election.

With that out of the way, Mitt Romney is not Reagan - And I don't mean that as an insult. Mitt Romney is a technocrat. He's a problem solver who uses existing tools to resolve issues.

The US issue right now is that manufacturing has been bleeding away from American make for decades, now. That reduces US military and middle class might. Mitt Romney is seeking a way to bring back manufacturing - Every one of his gaffes with regards to the middle class has been based on this fact. Let Detroit go broke? With bailout after bailout, Detroit is hemorrhaging both jobs and hope. The entitlement mindset of the area has created a no-man's land where business fears to tread. 47%? There's the entitlement mindset again.

I don't know if there's a solution to those problems, but Mitt Romney believes there is and I believe Mitt Romney and am willing to give him a chance.

What he's not saying, is he's going to go full throttle at lowering the minimum wage to $5, and bingo: 12 million new jobs!

Or he may get the minimum wage lowered to $3.50 a hour and create 20 million new jobs!
