Why vote FOR Romney? (Help!)

Honestly, I don't know, especially after he lied about his tax returns too. The only half legit reason I have seen people say is that they do glide the job Obama has done.

My comment on this discussion is,I will not be voting for either one! Both are idiots! Obama,the longer he is in office,the more crap I hear he is not doing or totally ignoring! Romaney I just don't like! Never have! I beleive if he is elected he'd mess the country up. In his special own way!

The reason to vote for Romney based on what he has done and what he says he will do is because you prefer an white Obama over an Black guy. I wish I was joking or maybe you would rather the have your form of Democrat be called an Republican because really you can call Obama an Republican and it would fit with what the party supports and you could call Romney and Democrat and it would fit perfectly both of them are equal when it comes to the level of Evil they both are.

He has proven he's smart with his money; and if he wants to be reelected for a second term, (should he be elected this time) he will be smart with our money, unlike our current President. Our economy being as it is, we can't afford another four years of someone so inept financially.

I would have to agree. I can't think of a single reason to vote for Romney, other than Obama is horrible. But then again... Obama *IS* horrible. So that is a fairly compelling reason. Heck, if GW Bush ran for a 3rd term, I'd vote for him without any doubt at all.

No one who has commented has shown any reason that Mitt Romney could be considered "presidential". They have mostly parroted fox news and right wing website talking points without doing much fact checking. Every time I try to view Romney as a good person and a good family man, more is revealed about him that takes away from that immediately. The people commenting on this thread and other forums like it who happen to support Romney for his "economic policies" are also the same people who voted the tea party in under the premise that they were going to get jobs, jobs, jobs. We were downgraded as soon as they were voted in, and for two years, I have worked harder than the do-nothing republican congress while they consistently refused to put any pragmatic jobs bills through. As Bill Maher put it some time ago (spot on!) - "The strength of [the republican party] is their ability to turn a mistruth into something people will believe." With the way Mitt Romney has flip flopped, I don't even know how anyone can make a firm comment about him. They see he has a few houses and multiple cars and they ooh and ahh about what a good businessman he is. He was cut throat and gave no concern to the people who lost their jobs, homes, livelihood, when he bankrupted and sold off the companies they worked for while he pocketed millions. That should actually be a tell-tale sign of what his presidency will be like, if his leaked video didn't provide enough proof already.

There is one very simple answer, anyone would be better than Obama.

To be succinct - It's the Economy. I assume that your reasons to vote for Obama are your proposed Romney reasons in reverse, but all those things are secondary to the biggest problem facing this country. Our economy is suffering, we have businesses shutting down, we have done nothing to secure energy for the future, money is being wasted, the debt is growing and 23 million Americans are unemployed. Why elect Romney? Because of all the things that we know about him, one thing we know for sure is that he knows how to create jobs - he's been doing it throughout his business career. We know that the present occupant of the White House does not know how to create jobs, he's never run a business, he never ran anything before he became president. And now, four years later, that lack of experience and expertise is showing. The real world doesn't run on hopeful slogans. It takes real solutions and real decision making and someone who knows that just throwing money at a problem doesn't work. You have to fix what is broken. Romney knows how, we know he does because his company turned around a lot of failing businesses. We need to turn around a failing US economy. All the social issues, all those concerns of special interest groups - well, all that stuff is not very important in comparison with the possible collapse of the American economy. If people are really voting in this critical election based on someone's position on one very narrow issue that is personal to them, then they are fools. It won't matter if anyone gets those very special rights they think they ought to have if there is no country left to exercise them in. This is serious, this election is serious. It shouldn't be decided by the people who think David Letterman and Jon Stewart and political analysts and economists.

Romney is a businessman who has made money even when he didn't have money. He's more experienced in politics than Obama.He says what he means even if some people don't like it. He doesn't have to read everything from a teleprompter. More importantly,why would anyone vote for Obama a second time?

I have been trying to understand the logic myself but can't come up with anything except them having the lack of common sense! Which unfortunately alot of people especially in the midwest and southern states seem to be without. I'm just hoping and praying that the women, gays, all miniorites, the poor and middleclass will have enough common sense to do the right thing come November 6th. If not, we are in alot of trouble.
