How reassuring! Please remind me why the war-weary public should vote for this jackass again?
They shouldn't. He has no answers and nothing to offer...

See, the Leftists who didn't squawk when obama did it really don't have a leg to stand on now.
It's SO obvious that Obama's masterful handling of the Libyan situation causes you so much anguish. But it shouldn't. Not a single American casualty. The president answered the call of our NATO allies and carried out a swift, effective mission that resulted in Qadaffi's downfall.

Such a stark contrast to the Bush quagmires. No wonder it sticks in your craw.

It's not nearly as impressive as Obama's masterful handling of the economy, not to mention the budget, the national debt, health care, and every other major domestic policy.

Your boss is getting fired in five short months. I hope you're ready to seek alternate employment. But just remember: President Romney will inherit a huge mess from Oblama that will take decades to fix.

For the record, so does our present ruler, Barack "insane" Obama.

Of course it will take decades to fix only because Romneys economic plans stink too and it will keep us mired in the current conditions. Increased spending is not the answer when the problem is over spending.
In the early 1920's we got out of a similar if not worse depression in 2 years. Unemployment went from 12 to under 4 when we cut taxes and spending by 40 percent.

Romney has already declared he wants to go to war with Iran. If he is elected there is a good chance that is exactly what will happen. The thing is it won't be his children that go off to war. No, it will be our children and grandchildren who will be killed and disabled. Romney's children will be in college or working for their church trying to recruit new members just as he did to avoid the draft. Romney is a person who never experienced war or anything like it yet he is very willing to put your child on the battlefield to die. While thousands of men and women died in Vietnam Mitt had a college deferment paid for by his daddy. Once he graduated you might think he would have volunteered to fight along side our brave soldiers. Instead he got another deferment to work or his church in France and in a recent interview compared that service to the distinguished service of a decorated veteran of Vietnam.

I find it hard to believe that America would allow this draft dodging bum, Romney, to be elected to any office let alone selected as the republican presidential candidate. If elected Romney will have no issue with placing your kids on the firing line but you sure won't find his kids there.

War with Iran, will be the economic nail in the coffin for the USA.

They have not caused American blood to flow.

Anyone and everyone can swing their fists.
That ends at the tip of my nose.

No but he has stated that he has no problem going to war with Iran which should scare most sane people.
