Romney is a rich elite socialist championed by Fox News. Ron Paul is much more electable than him.



Fox News is for Santorum. Murdock has publicly stated hes supporting him and if you were objective at all you would see that. Also, in 99% of polls Ron Paul is destroyed in a head-to-head with Obama, whereas with Romney in most polls he's either beating Obama or tied. I don't know what planet you Ron Paul people live on, but obviously reality doesn't exist there.

Romney is a technocrat, a pragmatist, which is why he comes off as robotic. He doesn't give rousing inspiring speeches. He's cautious, not brash. Its true though that the average bovine american voter is too shallow to recognize or appreciate this. They want the hollywood feel-good story. They typically vote for the most "likeable" guy. But look where that has got us. GW Bush was more likeable than Gore - in a nutshell thats what put him over the top. Same with Clinton before him. And now, we have a likeable personality as President who is very good at making rousing speeches, and making bold promises, and he's in way over his head, and borderline dangerous.

I think this country needs a boring, pragmatic, technocratic leader for a change.

Wow...no he wasn't. But the rest I agree with.


I won't vote for Romney for the simple fact that he will have to do things to placate his base, and the majority of his base are mouth-breathers.

Most people wouldn't notice much difference in policies between having Obama or Romney in office. Neither one of them stand for much of anything...except getting elected. All the hype from either side of the aisle is just that. Hype. Whatever either man actually believes is both beside the point, and irrelevant. Both of them are pragmatic, realist, cowards.

That said, the people who would be able to notice a difference, would be able to point out that even though Obama bows to the corporate interests and money tossing lobbyists on almost everything....Romney doesn't get to put an almost in there.

The USA has no moderates or liberals left in power, so it's a fight between barely right of center "conservatives" (Obama) and farther right of center "conservatives" (Romney).

If Democrats were actually "leftist, socialist, liberals", they would nominate a guy like Kucinich. They aren't, they are the party of do stupid stuff that doesn't matter then claim it's a big deal.

If Republicans were actually "Small government, fiscally prudent, conservatives", they would nominate a guy like Huntsman. They aren't, they are the party of do even more stupid stuff that really is a big deal then convince people that it's in their best interest to get screwed over while waving a flag and holding a bible.

Both options suck. Republicans suck more. I'll vote for Obama even though I hate the bastard. Some choice eh?
