Serious question: Why Should I Vote for Romney...?



To be honest, it seems that I see lots of talk of voting against Obama....that doesn't help me...

so, here's your chance....Convince me Pro-Romney folks...

First off you shouldn't vote for him. And I don't think anyone could convince you by the way. No matter the reason given, I don't think you would be swayed.

Two party system isn't about voting for anyone, it is about voting against the other guy. Don't like it either, but that is the way it is. You can either vote your conscience, and know that the person you least like may get elected, or you can vote against him with the candidate most likely to beat him...I hate it. We should have literally an unlimited amount of options for president. I am not sure why party affiliation is even needed.

He might bring on Bobby Jindal for VP, and then we'd have someone to perform exorcisms for us! Seriously usamamasan is on his 8th candidate for prez and he hasn't even named a running mate. I can't wait to see the circus around that. Remember when Sarah Palin was considered downright articulate after she spoke at the Republican convention, and a real challenger to Obama for minority voting. Then we kinda got to know her a little better. Whose it gonna be this time?

you may be right that my vote is pretty much set...

please know my intention in starting this thread is that I really wanted to read what folks really see in Romney...it seems folk who support Romney are doing so based solely on the fact he's not O-bama...and that's fine...I did the same when Kerry ran...

I really wanted to see and hear some specifics about how Romney would benefit the country...

as for the two party system...not sure what to say about that...it's true and has been for along time...I guess I just accept it...

you can vote for romney because he lies his ass off...like saying that obama does not want troops to be able to vote early...

Or saying that the president's very pro-small business speech about how it's America's duty to do all they can to support small business was REALLY saying that small business owners didn't do any real work and that the government did it for them. That was so lamely-transparent that it just made everyone from his camp look like dolts.

If someone is going to be THAT obvious when trying to mislead you, do you REALLY want them to be the leader of the country?

(not to mention Romney bragging about how he had delivered a "$100 Million Surplus" for the Salt Lake City Olympics but forgot to mention that was after taking $2.4 BILLION in federal government money. I mean really...?)

i think i should vote for him because he is rich, so he must be good at business, so he must understand the economy, so he must know how to create jobs, which will make him a good president.

that is exactly why he won't be a good republican president. He still believes he can "create" jobs as president of the United states.

EDIT: Corrected the percentage of the population who would see a tax increase from 98 to 95.

You do all realize that Obama already raised taxes on a portion of the lower/middle class right? Those making $250K generally already have health insurance and will have no need to pay the Obamacare tax.

So, if Romney were to repeal it, he'd already be lowering taxes for said folks.

Good luck with your sound bites. Obama is the one offering to raise taxes. If you think 250K is "rich," you should try living in the Northeast. Yes, it is well off. Nobody making that much is complaining. But 250K is not the same everywhere.

AND without lowering spending, it's spitting in the ocean.

If you're voting based on tax plans, Romney is the clear favorite.

If you're voting on spending cuts, the tooth fairy is the clear favorite.

If you're voting on the accomplishments of the last 4 years or the economy/job market as it currently stands or foreign relations, who knows what Romney will do? Though we already lived Obama. So, while the original post said why Romney? I'd flip that and say, why another 4 for Obama?

And for those that have said - well, Congress is stopping him at every turn - so what? Isn't part of being a leader figuring those things out? He's not the first President to have Congress held partially by the other party. As a matter of fact, he's one of the very RARE Presidents to have control of both houses for 2 years AND control of the Senate for all 4. You'd think a good leader would figure something out. That's what leaders do.

At least Romney has successfully led a business. At least he's run a State. If you thought a community organizer with no real experience is qualified to set the economy straight, I'd think a successful business man and someone elected as a moderate to right leaning person in a totally liberal State has the goods to be deserving of a chance (given the real choices at this point). Saying one thing is good for a liberal State like Mass is not necessarily good for a moderate/diverse COUNTRY is not flip flopping. It's understanding the different constituencies and being able to adjust to the role. And also points to the fact that he understands that certain things are Constitutionally States rights and other things are Constitutionally Federal rights.
