I don't want Romney but will have to vote for him if the only other choice is Obama or just throwing away my vote on some Libertarian.

America is a basketcase farce, and the politicians to fit that description, who have been placed into government by red, white, and blue morons.

Romney has already expressed his belief in projecting American power abroad.

Why?

We have more than enough issues at home to attend to. Let's take of ourselves, a strong, capable defense DOES NOT require a display of offensive saber rattling.

Romney, after emerging victorious in one of histories most-massive landslide-elections, WILL make a great president - for 8 years. By then, we'll be back on our feet, scraping the Obama-dung off of our shoes, and moving forward again. I can't wait for America to be, well, America Again!!!!!!!!!!

Romney is incapable of upholding his oath to the US Constitution. His policies/ideology are very close to Obama's. His anti-2A record as Gov. of Mass. speaks for itself. Furthermore Romney, like Obama, supports the Patriot Act and the unlimited detention of US citizens under the NDAA.

While Romney may have a good business head on his shoulders he has yet to address the shortcomings of the US monetary policy and the real problems which brought us to this economic tailspin we continue to experience.

Ron Paul would be the only candidate capable of keeping his Presidential oath of office to uphold and defend the US Constitution from enemies both foreign and domestic. Ron Paul was the only candidate who saw the 2008 economic crisis coming and attempted to address it. Not Romney, not Obama, nor any of the others in the race today.

He would also be the only of those who are running to actually serve in the US military during a time of war. Obama-Romney, Gingrich, Santorum have all failed to serve in our military but are all to willing to send our troops to fight, bleed, and die for the Unitied Nations/NATO, the world banks, and Big Oil.

IMO, a chickenhawk is not a capable POTUS or Commander-in-Chief. YMMV

You are confusing the powers of a state gov't with those of the federal gov't. It is perfectly acceptable for a state to offer healthcare (Romney-care), but NOT at the state level. For assistance, consult Amendment X, USC.

3. Keep unemployment below 8% with the stimulus our kids will pay for
4. Make government transparent
5. have all bills on line for 5 days before they are voted on

This is the worst recovery in modern history. Unemployment would be much higher if his dept was not manipulating the numbers by taking hundreds of thousands of unemployed out of the calculation.

Good with money does not make one a good President, learn some history.
He was a mining engineer. Hardly a leading financial expert.You should crack a book once in a while.

How did Mitt Romney make his money? Buying undercapitalized or failing companies, firing employees, pushing the remaining ones to work, then sell the company. How would that work as a business plan for the country?
How? He would take a government that is spending us into bankruptcy, get rid of the dead weight, then grow the economy by eliminating stupid regulations including Obamacare.
