Personally, I can't think of a single reason why you shouldn't vote for Romney. As for the rest of the nation, I can think of hundreds.

They have all the judgement in the world for Mitt Romney (who's not even president yet) but they won't even take the time out to critically judge the current one in office. That's typical behavior of brainwashed individuals.
In my opinion, we aren't voting for mitt because of the republican party in general. There is a general view that the party has moved so far to the right they can't see straight and that their only mission in life was to make Obama a 1 term president and that they refused to work with him. The articles I read is that romney was forced to move to the far right to prove he was conservative enough, and if thats the case, thats not a party we choose to back.

The reasons not to trust Romney aren't feelings...they are facts.

He's lied about nearly everything he's ever said...or he's simply changed positions.

Look at his positions on Guns for example.
Or his ever-changing positions on Abortion.
Or how about his position on healthcare?

Or simply the fact that he's trying to buy the election, tries to pass himself off as a regular American when he was born into vast wealth, or the fact that he says that he didn't have any help getting to where he is even though his father was a well-connected CEO and Governor.

Or how about we simply look at his home state where he was governor. Why would such a great governor not have the support of his home state when he's running for President? Don't say it's because Massachusettes is a Democrat state and Romney is a Republican. California voted for Reagan and Arkansas voted for Clinton in their respective post-governorship presidential elections.

Finally, his tax plan is idiotic. He wants to cut taxes on the rich even more! Considering the fact that Supply-side economics has been proven to be wrong, why would anyone with half a brain support someone whose main idea is to enact more Supply-side economics?

But then again, I know you as a poster here and know that you support him because you are scared of the Liberal black man and want a country where Abortions are illegal for everyone and Christianity is preached in public schools.

Right, four more years of this racist, socialist, divisive, arrogant idiot of a president is the best this country has to offer.

Default Why should I not vote for Romney?

Because he is clueless, out of touch.
Mainly because he has been rubbing elbows with the wealthy and affluent all of his natural born life, he has no idea of what it's like to be middle class or poor.

He doesn't know what it's like to try to make ends meet, payday to payday.

He does know how to take over, downsize, and fire people.

For the record he did NOT change his positions. He is "evolving" just like Obama.

If the president can do it, so can everyone else.
