"I like being able to fire people who provide services to me." –Mitt Romney
That my friend,sealed the deal for me,regardless if he made a mistake on the way he was trying to present himself. America DOESN'T need people fired,we need JOBS.
You think it is the responsiblity of government to give people jobs? I would like to see him fire those sit on their a$$ beaurocrats who do nothing but make up rules to secure their own jobs. You think he should not fire those in the GAO and their Hawaii vacations, youtube videos and hot tub parties? Fire them all. Obama would have never seen them if those idiots didn't post on YouTube. Romney would have overseers watching for things like that. He would never allow it in his businesses and would not allow it in government. I also don't think his wife will be taking half million dollar vacations at the taxpayers expense either.

Voting for Romney will NOT change a damn thing!
There's a reason why people call them both OBAMNEY.
They're one and the same! Romney's just putting out those status quo answers because he's afraid to deviate from the status quo!

I went to the link you provided for romney and I will say that in some of his proposals via his website are pretty impressive. I disagree with him on social security with raising the retirement age and the payouts lessened for more affluent retirees. I don't think that the federal gov. should have any hand in health care.
I like what he proposes on taxes I believe: However; there is one thing I am unclear about.
I like what is written on human- capitol and his results with education.
I only agree with some of his positions on energy and again there are some I don't fully understand
I will amend what I said about his business-sense as, after review and if applied to the right areas, I can see where it can benefit.
I just can't get past the fact that he is financially endorsed by what I believe to be some pretty evil (for lack of a better word at the moment) people and corporations.

Mitt Romney's quote wasn't about Jobs. It was about insurance companies and individual freedom for us to fire those companies if we chose to because they provide their services to us. He was talking about the Health Care mandate. I have already explained this above but apparently you didn't read it...

The highly anticipated thread about why I am voting for Mitt Romney:
A few bullet points to get your minds going...
Mitt Romney believes that it is unacceptable for Iran to possess a nuclear weapon.
Believes in a strong military offensive as well as defensive.
Mitt Romney wants to amend the clean air act and any other crazy environmental polices that Obama has enacted in his three years.
Mitt Romney would like to modernized medicare and social security so that they are sustainable for our generation.
Mitt Romney believes whole heatedly in legal immigration, as his family were immigrants. As were all of ours. He knows the system for immigration is broken and he wants to streamline it and take away unnecessary regulations that makes it harder for immigrants to come here. He will secure the border and take away all entitlements which entice immigrants to come here illegally.
Mitt Romney understands that any economic turnaround starts with realistic and attainable goals. Which is why he has proposed his plan which cuts federal spending below 20% for the first year. He will cut $500 Billion by 2016. He will also make congress cut 5% of their budget across the board on day one!
Other plans that affect the economy will be to:
repeal ObamaCare saving $95 Billion as well as individual liberty
He wants to privatize Amtrak which will save us 1.6 Billion
He wants to cut $600 Million in federal subsidies to corporations like PBS and Legal Services Corporation
He wants to eliminate Planned Parenthood which will save us $300 Million
He wants to reduce foreign aid by $100 Million and ask congress why they are sending money to enemies of America. He will eliminate that as well.
For personal income Mitt Romney would like to make 20% tax cuts across the board
Eliminate taxes for those making $200,000 or LESS
For Corporations he would like to make a 25% tax cut across the board.
For Health Care. In place of Obamacare, Mitt will pursue policies that give each state the power to craft a health care reform plan that is best for its own citizens.
Let me know if you want me to include something that I missed and I will surely go back and tell you what Romney wants to do. See, Mitt Romney does not look like Obama so much now does he? While he may not have "revolutionary" plans like Ron Paul, we can't honestly start to fix the problems without first doing something drastic but reasonable and realistic about them!

And my instincts never pushed towards obama or romney...
Failed me once with my fondness to bush, but I was naive then. I didn't know what was going on. Now I do, we are in a heap of shi* and we need to dig ourselves out.
Ha, ha, ha. If you really believe a WORD coming out of Obamas mouth, then you are one of the biggest fools on the planet.

I know exactly what he said,and why he said. No need to regurgitate it. Firing.......represents Job........In the average Americans mind.............REGARDLESS ON HOW YOU OR HE WANTS TO SPIN IT.
I stand by what I said,and why he should have been MORE careful,especially in this day and age,where Firing,and Job go hand in hand .
