Mitt Romney as governor of the bluest of blue states managed to balance the budget WITHOUT raising taxes, and also made a fortune turning around failing companies. Think Romney would do a better job than Obama as president?

No other governor in recent history has managed to do what Romney accomplished, not even Reagan. See:

Yes, but a bag of socks could do a better job than Obama.
The question is, which former Governor would make a better President? One term Governor Romney or two term Governor of New Mexico, the Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson?
Read Romney's record as governor is pretty good, but he knew he could not get reelected in his Democrat leaning state and so he served just one term.
Read Johnson's record as governor. He too has a pretty good record and his Democrat leaning state reelected him in a landslide.
Romney is a great Wall Street Businessman.
Johnson is a great MAIN Street Businessman having started a one man construction / maintenance company and grew it into a multi-state 1100 employee construction firm.
Yes, Romney would do a FAR better job that the unskilled community organizer that is in over his head with his Temp Job as POTUS.
But so would someone that advocates upholding our Constitution and the Freedom and Liberty that it represents.
His lack of backbone on issues will ensure that he flips on every issue other than the one to attack Iran... which is about the worst thing that could happen.
And then there are these reasons:
Make permanent, across-the-board 20 percent cut in marginal rates
Maintain current tax rates on interest, dividends, and capital gains
Eliminate taxes for taxpayers with AGI below $200,000 on interest, dividends, and capital gains
Eliminate the Death Tax
Repeal the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT)
Cut the corporate rate to 25 percent
Strengthen and make permanent the R&D; tax credit
Switch to a territorial tax system
Repeal the corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT)
At a time when our nation is in debt over its eyeballs, we need to be thinking about paying that debt off so that our future generations are not liable for our living beyond our means. Once the debt is paid down, then we can talk about reducing taxes.
But it takes cuts in spending & leaving the taxes where they are or creating a straight across the board flat-tax to get rid of some of that heavy debt we allowed our government to create. Romney is very clearly pandering to his constituency the same way Bush did... the ...

But it takes cuts in spending & leaving the taxes where they are or creating a straight across the board flat-tax to get rid of some of that heavy debt we allowed our government to create. Romney is very clearly pandering to his constituency the same way Bush did... the top 3-8%. Screw everyone else, right? They're the so-called "job creators." With the lowest corporate taxes in decades, why aren't they creating jobs in America instead of supporting Communism by creating jobs in China?
...& isn't it clear why Romney would want a Territorial Tax System??
If he gets in, our nation is screwed.
Of course, if Obama is re-elected, our nation is also screwed.
Let's face it. Our nation is screwed.
It would make sense then that I would support Gary Johnson since Ron Paul is out of the race.
I've always liked Johnson. He's a good, decent person & he is absolutely honest about his politics... which mirror Dr. Paul's in just about every sector.
It's nice to see someone who already knows about him.
Good on ya!

Balancing the budget isn't as important as creating jobs.
Obama created millions of jobs... But, unfortunately for America, the jobs Obama created were for FOREIGNERS, not Americans.
Obama outsourced millions of jobs to China and other countries. Plus outsourced over 3 million more jobs RIGHT UNDER OUR VERY NOSES, by issuing over 3 million work visas to foreigners. Plus Obama unconstitutionally by-passed Congress to issue 300,000 work permits to ILLEGAL ALIENS by executive order!
