I don't see why you think Romney would bring down unemployment.

Based on his record, he'd help companies declare bankruptcy and ship jobs overseas = job loss for Americans.

No other issue is as important to them than being able to have a legal abortion.

That's not true. You are misinformed.

Why are so many men supporting Romney?



It isn't because he plans on killing jobs.

You're just not listening.

Exactly, and they are unable to recognize it. The fringe is taking over the GOP and pushing out many independents. I voted for Romney as governor in my state moons ago, but the right is just getting crazier with each day. That's not to say there isn't filth and fringe on the left, but there seems to be more room for people in the middle.

I didn't say YOU helen.


If women's health issues are more important to you than the economy then vote for who you think will best take care of you.

Men are clearly voting for Romney for a better economy.

He would increase jobs by reducing taxes on the rich?

He would increase jobs by having more students drop out of college because he would repeal student loan regulations guaranteeing a fixed rate for 20 years?

Maybe that's OK because he'd also reduce funding for all Education in the U.S. so maybe there wouldn't be so many young people actually going to college--- so more jobs at Mcdonalds?

He would increase jobs by radically reducing funding for research and development in America?

He would reduce taxes on corporations, while the last couple of years most companies had RECORD earnings and profits. How would a reduction in tax make them hire any more people?

He would increase jobs by putting a quarter of the amount that Obama budgets for infrastructure repair?--wait that would decrease jobs.

And while he's at it, he'd reduce the number of teachers and firemen sucking the country dry --- maybe more jobs at Walmart for them?

OK, you tell me --- how would Romney increase jobs.

Wow! Well said.

Millions of new soldiers to put their lives on the line in the new wars that Romney is planning to start. Against Iran and Russia for starters. Then his wealthy supporters that are owners of defense related companies will earn massive profits . Basically another Bush war-monger for president.

That's true --- there might be more jobs at Halliburton ! (especially given Mitts already brought Cheney into his inner circle).
