Witness the last four years under President Obama.

Obama's negativity is the reason that Mitt Romney will win 0n 11/6/12.

The Vietnam War was a Democratic war - in case you hsve forgotten. If Barry Goldwater had been elected in 1964 - 50,000+ Americans may not be dead.

I don't think that Obama is a "funny name" and what do you have against hockey mom's?

Are you anti-women?

Mitt Romney is rather moderate - if your honest - there is no way that you can accuse him of being an "extremist".

he's sure went that way to get the nomination and he'll run the next 4 years as an extremist conservative to get re-elected, maybe after that he won't...both parties are going to have to lose some of their bases...before nutjobs on both sides totally ruin this country...aka bush and obama...i really hate it when people make either one of these sound great or better than the other...they're not the litmus test they both brought this country down horribly and i don't see either party changing without being forced to

The real Romney might be a moderate and would probably be doing better in the polls. However, to win the nomination Romney had to pose as a right wing extremist. The GOP primaries were essentially a contest to see who could be the most extreme social conservative.

I can't quite figure out who Romney is

Ron Paul was my choice and the establishment was afraid of him... That's why we had Santorium and Newt stay in the race so long, they took away time from Ron in the debates and votes in the primary's...

The real Tea Party isn't going away just because boobs like Beohner and the media would like us too...

Im not in a swing state so I will have the satisfaction of knowing I never voted for Romney no matter what happens...

I think they should allow him to debate with the other candidates.

I was very interested in the GOP primaries - and i never thought that Mitt Romney went so far as to be an "extremist".

I wanted Rick Santorum to win the GOP nomination.

I I will settle for Mitt Romney.

He is better then President Obama.

A Rick Santorum supporter is not equipped to recognize right wing extremism. Santorum is the epitome of a religious nutjob right wing extremist. Santorum would like the US government to function as a fundamentalist Christian theocracy akin to an American Taliban.

The last true president we had was JFK and he is a Democrats. He was going to end the war, talk to USSR, and Cuba, then he was assassinated. The next one who try to stop the war was Reagan, a Republican. The same power who assassinated JFK almost assassinated Reagan, and since that event, Reagan become a pro war machine and big spender.

If a president truly do good for the country and the people, then it doesn't matter what party they belong to.
