9. You're not going to get "Ultra-Conservative".

He's wooing them, but he's not one of them. I would say that he does not have a good plan for reviving jobs, except perhaps deregulation. He supports even MORE tax cuts, which don't do much for anyone who isn't making money, but does a lot for those who do. He has blatantly said that he doesn't care about the "very poor", not realizing that the "middle class" is becoming poorer. If you're on food stamps and you vote, you can't be considering Romney because he intends to slash government programs.

So here's the thing. Romney is interested in doing everything possible to protect the wealth of the richest Americans, and all he's got to do to win is PRETEND to be ultra-conservative long enough to win the election.

And I'm sorry, but I can't encourage you to stay home, because we need a Democrat in the Senate.

Romney is right-wing, elitist, clueless, and devoid of scruples, but not "conservative" DFW Jul 2012 #16

I agree that "conservative" is, if taken literally, something of a misnomer. But... lwcon Jul 2012 #17
