He's big money and big corporations anyone who likes this combination will always have handlers and will always look out for their own best interest. Obama doesn't have his fortune and look how much he caters to them.
No doubt in my mind he will be just as un-consitutional in his direction as he supports intervention, sanctions, the Patriot Act, and the NDAA. I believe he will be going after your property rights well as as he pushes through his agenda of making himself richer.
If the constitution is not important to you - you're only going to get more of the same of what we already have with each new administration being worse than the last. Not supporting the constitution is allowing the continued taking down of America for profit.
Romney avoids many of the questions but looks to blame instead ...
Q: List three or more specific programs that will put American people back to work.
ROMNEY: Let's go back and talk about, first, what you do to get the economy going. We've spoken about our tax code that's out of alignment with other nations.
We've spoken about the fact that regulation is overwhelming us that we need to become energy-secure. We have to open up markets, and we have to crack down on China when they cheat. But I'd like to talk about something else that President Obama has been doing. He's been practicing crony capitalism. And if you want to get America going again, you've got to stop the spread of crony capitalism. He gives General Motors to the UAW. He takes $500 million and sticks it into Solyndra. He stacks the labor stooges on the NLRB, so they can say no to Boeing and take care of their friends in the labor movement. This president is biggest impediment to job growth in this country.
We have to replace Barack Obama to get America working again.
Now tell me "honestly" did he answer the question!
He will go after property and state rights ...
Oil tycoon Harold Hamm, chairman of Romney’s Energy Policy Advisory Council and hosted a recent quiet soirée netting $50,000 apiece from approximately 200 Romney supporters backing the Keystone pipeline. Do you know when complete the northern section of the Keystone pipeline will connect to Hamm’s oil field, giving him a 1,700-mile conduit to the Gulf of Mexico?
Hamm ranks 33rd on the Forbes’ wealth list and is worth around $12 billion. Keystone XL — which would run down from Canada — would expedite his ascent up the billionaire ladder.
When asked about the fundraiser’s attendees who came to hear Romney Hamm wouldn’t mention names but told The Oklahoman he "knows a lot of oil folks" and "invited everybody" he knows. Hamm and his publicists did not return calls to The National Memo.
Another presidency being bought to further the downfall of America for profit?
To the GOP supporter he can’t possibly be a socialist but simply a capitalist and good man; and like Obama’s followers believe, he is only trying to buck the system of injustice. Riiiiight.
The simple fact is thousands of homes and peoples’ land will be seized by the government using eminent domain. Are you ready to support such a federal project (oh by the way Obama supports this too) that will crush the privacy and individual freedom of more Americans by stealing their land or paying them to to run a pipeline of oil through their property with their own tax dollars? Or allow them to get away with it for votes?
I look at those who follow the Obama as their "great hope" no different than those who follow Romney believing he is the "true great hope" because anyone is better than Obama.
If the Constitution and your rights are not important to you … You will reap what you sow.
So what makes you like Romney so much?

Their rhetoric may be different, but in the end they are all constitution-ignoring, banker-friendly, executive branch expanding, over-spending war mongering narcissist.

Sadly when Dr. Paul's message started to get out the GOP grabbed hold with the Tea Party Express which has really set about a mixed message. But you can tell the difference quite clearly ... the Grassroot Patriot can never be identified as a NeoCon.

For those who continue to support the status quo, you send a clear message to Washington that our Constitution, it’s Laws, and the value of liberty just doesn’t matter and in return they send another wannabe liar-in-chief for the 2012 election. Is this what you want for America’s future?
If voter preference continues in the direction of the status quo we won't just have a median senate of socialist and globalists, they will be all one-minded socialists and its very unlikely this country will see any libertarians or constitutionalists that can make any difference in Washington. We know for a fact Ron Paul and about a handful of around 20 have been going up against the majority of 500 or more for a very long time. Its time we stopped being afraid and get some people in Washington who actually will adhere to the constitution and our founding principles. Sometimes its more than just winning a campaign but all about winning the war against tyranny.
If the people don't wake up now ... it will be too late.
Best case scenario is Paul either endorses Gary Johnson or agrees to run as his VP ... you still think he won't have a majority if he runs as his VP? Gary's record is awsome and makes Romney look even more incompetent as a governor.
IF he doesn't run as his VP ... it will still be bringing the message forward for the 2016 run ... meanwhile every DEM, NeoCon, and RINO out and not another one in from the town dogcatcher to the senate (every level of government) for each voting cycle for the next 4 years.
Question where is Romney so different that you feel safer?
Globalist / Socialist / NWO = the take-down of America, her Constitution and founding principles for Power and Greed at the cost of liberty to a people who have been raised as free men. Wake up!
"Romney's Achilles' heel is a moral one. It is the sum of all of the cheating that has been done in his favor by the party. For example...
In Oklahoma, party officials pulled out a ballroom divider to cordon off Ron Paul supporters and shut them out of participation. Later they turned out the lights. Voice votes that were clearly lost were declared won.
In Alaska, party officials defeated the majority by retaining the committee which "interpreted rules" and later, after taking the delegation, reluctantly gave up the party control to the new majority but transferred all of the money out of the Republican Party accounts.

Vote Ron Paul 2012 ... he's the ONLY one with any integrity at all and he's the only candidate running on the Constitution and founding principles ... that SHOULD speak volumes!
Voting the status quo only tells Washington tha you accept it so nothing will change. Nothing.

As Rand Paul said, "So what’s wrong with limited constitutional government? What’s wrong with restoring our country to its founding principles?
What’s the matter with fighting for a renewed respect for free markets, sound money, individual liberty, and an America-first foreign policy?"
“Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must undergo the fatigue of supporting it” ~ Patrick Henry
Just like Obama he will be the "Bain" in the existence of America.
Come to think of it, I just don't like tax 'n spend liberals knowing how better to spend my money, while getting filthy rich in the process, well, like O'BOzo and Bubba "off the porch pooch" Clinton.
Oddly we had the same choice when we got Clinton.......Let's not be stupid again.
Did you read the blog?
It's called "Politics", not "ethics" to our great shame to be sure, but the nice little guy just won't do, and if Romney can't get elected president, Paul can't be chosen the soccer team captain of 3 rd grade.
If the Constitution is not important to you ... you will reap what you sow ... the same direction, the same policies, the same unconstitutional mandates while watching the take-down of America for profit. Voting for Clinton or Gore and not standing for the Constitution back then can be attributed to what we have today. Clinton on steroids ... and that is exactly why you don't vote the status quo.
As I said Clinton ran against Bush 41 with Perot 1.0 as a third party candidate, split the vote and Clinton won. Clinton never ran against Bush 43, no wonder you want Perot 2.0.
and Bozama will appreciate your vote, truly, Keep up the good work though, my wife, brother, sister and mother voted for Perot 1.0, hope they aren't as stupid this time.
You stand for your constitution as you say ... then stand for the only one standing for you!
Hope we can agree on the next topic...have a great day.
Iran has always said it was about nuclear energy. It's always been the fear and war-mongers who have made it something more ...
Here's some good news for you....
But here's a Rasmussen poll of likely voters......
"...Tuesday, May 15, 2012
Voters now trust likely Republican nominee Mitt Romney more than President Obama on all five issues regularly surveyed by Rasmussen Reports, especially when it comes to money.
A new national telephone survey finds that 51% of Likely U.S. Voters trust Romney more than Obama when it comes the economy, while 39% trust the president more. Ten percent (10%) are undecided......"
