re: What if Romney were President?

I don't think Romney would have been better in foreign policy and his effect on the economy is debateable.
I think with Romney we've got more troops on the ground than we do now. I'm not sure how he would have done for the economy. I think he knows what the right things to do are, I also think he was bought and paid for by big business who have no interest in increasing competition.

I don't think they are Marxists. One is liberal, the other not so much. Plus as someone posted they were there before Romney could have won.

So why are libs so obsessed with Fox News? Jesus, look ar at all the left-wing/hate websites that do nothing more than point out Fox News biases with their own.
Why is the adminstration so obsessed with James Rosen and his emails?
Do you REALLY think ABC,NBC,CBS,CNN and MSMBC don't a bias with their news coverage? I'm not talking about op/ed shows which for some reason the left cannot distinguish from the rest of the news on Fox. Do you really think Shep Smith is some type of right wing idealog?

You mustn't have researched into which corporations donated to Obama's campain funds to state this? How many of these," the company is too big to fail" schemes transpired under Obama? All candidates are bought by big business.

Romney might not be another Ronald Reagan, but I think he was probably more uniquely qualified to be president at the time he ran than any other candidate we've had in recent history
I have never seen a man more qualified to be POTUS at a time when we needed exactly the qualities he possessed than Mitt Romney in 2012. He was my candidate in 08, but couldn't beat out McCain.
Romney's problem was/is that he is too much of a gentleman for today's smear-based political morass. The same quality that doomed GHBush in 92.
Our political environment has been so debased that to break thru the ignorance/malice, you have to get down in the mud. Something about the aristocratic persona just doesn't allow that, and if they try, they come off as non-genuine. Good decent people just have to try appealing to the better nature of people, when most of the people are motivated by more base qualities - greed, lust, envy, sloth, ignorance, idle entertainment.
We almost need a complete collapse of everything that brings comfort and pleasure to break thru to the consciousness of the '47%' - which is getting closer and closer to '51%,' at which point the collapse begins in earnest.
I wish Romney would run again.

The only difference would be judicial appointments which is why I would never vote a Republican again.
Which is the precise reason I would never vote for a DEM.
Judicial appointments have been my touchstone for all elections since Roe v Wade. I firmly believe it is the judiciary that has usurped congressional authority by 'interpreting' the constitution to mean whatever the latest DEM mantra desires.
We need strict constructionists at all levels of the judiciary. If you have a really really good idea of what everyone else should have to do to make you feel really really good about yourself, then go to the congress to pass a law to that effect. If the constitution somehow prohibits it, then fine - go to congress to get an amendment. If you cannot convince enough other people to go along with you - then either live with it or get the hell out.
Period.

There's some idiot in this thread who would never vote for a Republican because of judicial nominations?
Take the last 4 on SCOTUS - Roberts and Alito vs. Kagan and Sontemayor.
Anybody who prefers the last 2 of that group is a pure fricking moron and you and your kind are the problem. You are like roaches or cancer (take your pick) infesting/infecting the body politic.
As for Romney, there's a 99.5% chance he would have to be at least somewhat more competent and he wouldn't be nearly the petulant whiner so at least he wouldn't be as annoying,

I have monitored SCOTUS appointments since the late 50's.
ALL appointees by DEMs have been disasters to the constitution - and SOME of the appointments by GOPers have been disappointments by going leftist once on the court.
IF we had had nothing but DEM type appointees since then, our nation would not now exist as a free state in any recognizable form. We are almost unrecognizable now, but only the conservative judges have saved us from complete abandonment of the constitution.
I will NEVER vote for a DEM for POTUS until the SCOTUS has returned to its proper role of constitutional arbiter rather than that of a constitutional tinkerer. And I cannot live long enough for that to come about - it would probably take 30 years at a minimum.

We'd have a plutocrat who cares nothing about common folks, and who thinks the way to prosperity is to cut taxes for the ultrarich, even after the Reagan and Bush experiences show us that trickle down doesn't work.
Certainly, you would not have had a Democratic Party pow-wow on his very first day in office vowing to automatically obstruct everything Romney tried.

What's more common than the middle class? Obama has done everything in his power to destroy it.
Posted on 6/29/14 at 8:17 am to Rex
So Obama cares about regular folks?
Is that why he is putting more and more people into poverty every single day?

On THIS planet he has tried to protect working people. I don't doubt he cares little for the common folks in whatever bizzarro world you dwell.

There are far less working people since Obama took over. Those stats are easily obtainable on this planet and others!
