Quote>Too bad Obama doesn't have much of a record to run on.
And too bad Romney has a record the GOP wants to avoid. Romneycare, CEO of Bain while they were laying off people left and right (although he retroactively resigned when he started his campaign), supported abortion then opposed it, supported gay rights then opposed them etc.
On the plus side he has held both sides of many positions, so he can pick and choose which position he wants today.
Too bad for Obama those aren't the most important things people care about this election. Jobs and the economy are what people care about and Obamas record on that sucks, whether the criticism is fair or not. It is what it is.

QuoteToo bad for Obama those aren't the most important things people care about this election.
I think a fair amount of voters would like to know how candidates stand on a particular issue. If elected, which Romney shows up for work? Will it be the Romney who (admirably) brought RomneyCare to Massachusetts, or the Romney who will fight tooth and nail to prevent the rest of the country from enjoying the benefits of RomneyCare? Will it be the Romney who opposes abortion, or the Romney who opposes restricting women's rights? Will it be …
Like McCain before him, if Romney had not taken a hard right turn with his positions, and instead ran as the moderate who has already found success in politics, he'd be much more electable in November. As it is, not only does he come across as too conservative, he also comes across as integrity deficient, changing his views whenever politically expedient, to pander for votes.

Moderate Republicans will be only something we can tell our grandchildren about, and they will never believe our stories that they once existed.

QuoteSorta like Obama.
Not so much, no.
Quote
Second, the Romneys take to heart "to whom much is given, of him shall much be required." Accordingly, they have been extraordinarily generous in their charitable giving, donating over $7 million from 2010-2011 – donating even more to charity than they paid in taxes.
And how much of that was to the Church? I don't view that the same way I do to other charities.

QuoteSame thing with Obama's college transcripts. By law, they are not required to be released. There are lots of people around who think the reason he won't release that information is because he took student aid under an foreign student program.
Do they? That's hilarious, I'd not heard that one before. Since those people are clearly blinkered, partisan idiots it's not relly worth him responding to, is it?
Governor Romney's tax returns show:
First, as a successful businessman, Governor Romney has not only added value to our economy through his investment and business activity, but he has paid millions in taxes every year to the U.S. government.
Second, the Romneys take to heart "to whom much is given, of him shall much be required." Accordingly, they have been extraordinarily generous in their charitable giving, donating over $7 million from 2010-2011 – donating even more to charity than they paid in taxes.
Third, Mitt Romney has scrupulously complied with the U.S. tax code, and his income is reported and taxed at the applicable rates, and he has paid 100 percent of what he has owed.
As the law does not require the release of any tax returns, the release of these 500+ pages of tax returns goes above and beyond what is required.
In addition, Gov. Romney has released numerous financial disclosures since 2002, as required by law – which have also been posted on this site. There are 3 federal Public Financial Disclosures (from 2007, 2011, and 2012), and 6 Massachusetts Statements of Financial Interests (from 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007).

If this is tit for tat regarding the birth certificate issue, it is weak and pitiful.
Bottom line, BHO is not worthy to continue to hold office.
