My Chat with Mitt on Economic Policy: The Expanded Director's Cut

Back to blog

Mitt’s economic policies are a breath of fresh air. He’s the fiscal conservative's dream man. His ideas are Reaganesque. The other Republican candidates combined wouldn’t remotely compare with Romney’s economic experience. But none of this matters.

The Republican Party was high-jacked by the Southern Evangelicals who left the Democratic Party in the 80s. Religious bigots they are. They hate everyone who isn’t one of them. And they certainly won’t tolerate a Mormon in the Whitehouse. They believe that they have the moral credentials to determine who is and who isn’t a Christian. I wonder how Christ feels about that. Doesn’t sound very Christian to me.

So get use to having Goober as your perpetual Republican candidate. In twenty years or so we’ll all be barefoot, wearing overalls, pumping gas and parking our 30 year old cars on our lawns.

Romney's The Best On Economy

This fine Q&A proves Romney is so far ahead of any candidate on how to create wealth for all Americans and the economy it is simply a waste of time to listen to the others stumble and mumble about what to do. Romney has more success, experience than the rest combined on getting America's motor running fast again.

Excellent thoughts behind this economic policy and tax discussion. I hope the average voter is willing to be open-minded enough to do a true comparison of how other candidates' populist plans are either not viable options or would negatively impact their future versus how the ideas presented here would help improve the future for our children. Unfortunately, that may not be the case. With both legislative and executive branches of government involved, change is always cautious and slow. The thoughts presented here show that Mitt understands that very well.

Romney is the Guy!

How can you not vote for this guy. Clearly head and shoulders above the rest. Forget this religious nonsense which rears it's narrow-bigoted head every four years to screw things up and vote for someone with brains, who is successful and lives the life (good value good family) all the Elmer Gantry wannabes(sounds like HuckA Bee) try to live. As a Roman Catholic second, to being a conservative first. Keep religion in the home and the church and out of the government. That is the way our deeply faithful and religous founding fathers wanted it.
