Why is Romney the best GOP candidate?

mitt romney can't relate to anyone but the super rich. He was born with a silver spoon. He thinks everyone's parents have thousands to loan their kids at will. He's an idiot. I hope something horrible happens to him. Maybe he'll hang himself with his neck tie and money will come flowing out of his lifeless hanging corpse' ass. One can only hope he does the right thing for all of us.

Also, his wife doesn't even work and never has. He donates all of his money to his crazy cult religion, no real charities. He's a top level scam artist. He's scum. He puts on a fake face and says what he thinks people want to hear to gain popularity. He's a fool. He's a stereotypical rich douche bag. What kind of person ties their dog to the top of their car.... FFS people you have to seriously be rich or be getting paid to support him. Or you just don't care about any of these things.

*Pssst...*

I have a secret to tell you. He isn't.

It appears I am the only Romney supporter here on ATS frankly because you are all Ron Paul supporters. I have met a few who don't vote and few who don't care from other countries. So what is this thread political baiting?? You knew the facts that there are no Romney supporters but me on this forum, so I wonder the true intentions of this thread. I'll tell you why I am voting for Romney because I don't like Obama's socialist policies, nothing in Romney's plans suggest that things will be as bad as under Obama. Ron Paul's stuff is not going to work I have been trying to explain that in my other thread, but then I get loaded with out of context Romney videos or anti-romney political ads. You can call me a brainwashed idiot all you want, but I can say the same to anybody voting Ron Paul or Obama and I do!

How does electing someone honestly into a corrupt establishment help defeat the establishment??? I don't get it.

If what you say is true, that you are the only Romney supporter on ATS, then might I suggest that it is not only here on ATS. Perhaps the percentage of support Romney shows here is a micro level representation of his true support in the real world.

LMAO

You are a shill.

He wants to give the power to the states to decide.

find me a real conservative who wants to legalize all drugs and blame america for the 9/11 attacks. Only Ron Paul and his sheep do that. I believe you posted this thread just to bait us non-ron paul people. Because it's clear you don't want to debate others who have different opinions than you do. You just want to call them trolls.

VERY WELL SAID!!! I could not agree more. Its useless having a discussion with a RP supporter, about isolationism, legalization of drugs, electability, etc etc etc. Because they put their fingers in their ears and sing la la la la la.......

I am still waiting for an answer as to why I should vote for Mitt Romney.

I am wanting a legit argument as to what good he will do, not why Ron Paul will do bad.

I made a list of questions, but no one is able to answer them.

How did this turn into a Ron Paul thread? Can we stay on topic? I want to hear about Romney.

There's just not much to say about him. Might as well be talking about Obama, Romney is just tyranny under a different label.

I would be stupid to vote or support him in any way, the man isn't going to stand for anything but harm towards me.

How about the success and education he has. Not just academic education but a vast background in business and job builiding. His lively hood depended on the success of his business. He knows what it takes for companies to succeed, and why they fail. Sounds like this is exactly what we need in a president now. Someone who knows how to build jobs. Period.



Oh, and how many bills has RP passed in congress? 0? or was it 1? I forget. Proving the uneffective methods he has in getting the job done! Again proving why he is not electable.

Because this is the only argument the Romney "supporters" have, at least it's all I've seen.

edit on 7-5-2012 by RSF77 because: (no reason given)

I'm with you. I would never consider voting for him, but I still want to see where all this "frontrunners" supporters are and what they think. If they actually exist that is.

Okay, sharpen your tongues as I am going to take the bait. Which is what this entire thread is about......looking for someone to bash who disagrees with you. I am set to you all calling me stupid, a "sheeple", shill of the NWO, paid by TPTB, brainwashed, blind, and all the other insults you can throw. I expected, because, like I've already said, that is the purpose of this thread.......looking for someone to bash.
Officially, I label myself politically as a conservative. Usually that means I vote for the Republican candidate for all national issues, like President, Senators, and State Reps. However, for state issues (I am from Indiana), I usually vote Democratic. On local issues, I look only at the candidates qualifications and behavior, past and present.
I will be voting in the primary for Mitt Romney, because I think he has a better plan for the country for the next four years. I think his four years will improve the nation as a whole more than the Obama has done with his four. In all parts of my life directly affected by the Federal government, I think we are worse off now than we were four years ago.
MR was elected to lead a very, very liberal Democratic state. Which means he has had the only job which directly accounts as experience for the POTUS. And the closest I've seen to mudslinging about his personal life if that he is rich (which most politicians are, including Obama) and that he is LDS. Sorry, but being rich in our society is not a valid smear. Neither is being Mormon.
I am not rich (far from it), but I am a Mormon. I chose my Church freely and independently, choose to follow it's teachings freely and independently, and continue in my choice freely and independently. And proudly. As do all the Mormons I know and have known for the last 35 years. We are good people as a group. We are intelligent, honest, hard-working, and charity-driven. If we were not, we wouldn't be Mormon. One follows the other. It's also what is expected by each of us...if you meet a fellow Mormon, you know that your values and ethics are the same, even if your religious philosophy is not. That MR is LDS means he will try his best to do the best job he can, to make the US the best nation he can, by making people's interaction with the federal government the best he can.
I know that is what every candidate says.....but very few have been able to actually do all they claim. My election day shirt in 2008 said "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups." I think in 2008 they won. My election shirt this year has the Dem Donkey and the Rep elephant with piles behind and the caption "Everyone Poops."
I'm tired of smelling Obama's. I expect Mitt's will reek a lot less.
And I am old enough that RP evokes LaRouche. And I think he has as much chance of winning.

It's a paradigm shift in politics, the "old guard" is wavering and support is diminishing. The support for the established order just doesn't exist much anymore. As more and more become aware that THEY can actually get up and do something about it, more and more politics will change from the ground up. Eventually a visible line will be drawn somewhere and it will be visible for everyone to see just who is on whose side.

They say "you cannot stop an idea whose time has come". I think this is just the beginning of what could be some radical changes in the way America functions, some much needed changes.

People like Romney and Obama are just the last fleeting attempt to try and keep America in the dark ages and the money in the hands of those who already have it.

I hope you are wrong, that this thread was a trap of sorts for unwitting Romney supporters so that they could be bashed. I am here and not for that reason.

reply to post by stars15k


Thank you. finally a legit argument.

reply to post by notquiteright


The point of this thread is to give a voice to the legitimate Romney supporters.

I am not a Romney supporter, but this is AMERICA and anyone with a legitimate argument deserves to voice it. The problems I have seen is I haven't seen very many of the supposed Romney supporters say why they think Romney is the right man to vote for, instead all they do is try to get us not to Vote for other candidates. This only makes me want to vote for the other candidate all the more.

Very interesting sir. I have a Mormon friend and she is the same way you describe all Mormon people. I think she might vote Romney too, only because she doesn't like where Obama has led us. So, this was exactly my feeling and I only worded it a bit differently but apparently your answer was better according to the very bias opinion of the OP.

I want to vote for Romney because I don't want to vote for the others....Is that too hard for you to understand? Now, your going to say why don't u want to vote for the others and the cycle continues...

Why do you think my reasons for voting for Mitt Romney are bad or not legit?

reply to post by jjf3rd77


because that is not what I am asking in this thread. I want to know what Romney brings to the table. How will he help our economy? what do you feel he has done in the past that will benefit us?

I don't want to know why you're not voting for so and so, I want to know what good qualities he brings that will make America a better place to live.
