I'm going to "HOPE" Romney can "Change" the embarrassment the President Obama has caused our country.

And it will be for Wall Street again. That would be a quick and easy way to create a bubble economy, claim "economic growth" and blame others when it collapses. We have seen that before. We will be seeing that again. Slow and steady growth is no longer acceptable when "quick buck capitalism" is in progress.
There is Wall Street and there is business. Some of Wall Street is buying and selling like a casino as some people like to gamble. The internet bubble was like that. People were buying internet stocks regardless of the companies earnings or even products potential. It was irrational exuberance. You can't stop that part of Wall Street it is the herd mentality and is human nature. The other part of Wall Street is the function of raising capital for viable businesses so they can grow. You libs don't seem to understand that or approve of that. For the most part what is good for business is good for America and for workers that need the jobs businesses provide. And without businesses there would be no funding for government.

Why? Are you a Conservative committed to Conservative principles, or are you not?

The answer is simple.

Romney is more conservative than Obama.

I've stated over and over that Romney would do it and that is a reason I will not vote for him but then you continue acting like you are saying something special.

Obama inflated the markets but this time it did not find it's way to main street because the last two times we did not allow the markets return to their natural level.

You can slow it down by raising margins and taxing transactions.

Yes, what is good for business is good for America but what is good for Wall Street isn't always good for America.

Basically because he is conservative .Just as Clinton was liberals. Both just not has much as say Goldwater or Obama respectively.Certai there is a wider gap between Rmoney and manty past elections between himself and opponent.Bascailly the reason he didn't get the nomination is same as why Reagan did the first time;it take backing and organization.From what i see many Democrats are asking themseleves why they didn't pick Hillary Clinton over Obama now.Certainly when Bill Clinton speaks he is listen to mroe than Obama who is the president.

Because the alternative is worse than 4 years of a moderate republican Romney.

1. Romney is not s socialst.
2. Romney loves America.

What other reasons do you need?

I don't see a whole lot of ardent support for Romney here, which makes me wonder just how DID he win the nomination? If nobody particularly likes him and most admit he's not really a conservative, who the hell voted for him in the GOP primaries and why?

I mean...after all...there were some truly more conservative candidates in the race, yet the lukewarm conservative with no apparent principles was CHOSEN by GOP voters who describe themselves as conservatives? That doesn't make sense.

Most of y'all say, in one form or another, you'll vote for Romney simply because he isn't Obama. OK, fine. Then why did you vote for him in the primaries?
