Wow!
His speech comes across as fake at best. like a an animatronic doll.
He loves Michigan trees 'cause they are the right height.
He seems to have left his sincerity elsewhere.

I'm special and don't know how to follow the rules.
-
Be nice to the next guy in line, want more of this? ? ?
-
He probably figures he can cash in on name recognition alone in MI.
He's probably right. =|

Yeah, but if he doesn't, it's pretty bad.

You know the budget trick where Dems propose %X increase and R's propose %X-1 increase and call it a cut? Mitt vs Obama is basically that accounting trick made flesh and blood. Wildly unsustainable big fed.gov expansion, or wildly unsustainable big fed.gov expansion with slightly better management. Romney has already pledged not to touch Medicare or Social Security, and for all his big talk about Obamacare it's hard to take his stance against it seriously when it's his own damn plan just on a federal level.

Smoke and mirrors, baby! =D

It is going to be hell for anyone to try to take on the deficit. All the current candidates have pledged to TKO Obamacare. I understand that people are skeptical of Romney because his Massachusetts plan was apparantly the basis for Obama's.
The bottom line is Romney has repeatly explained that it is OK to do this on a state level but not on a federal level.
And he's against it nationally. At some point, just like any other politician's promises, one has to either believe or not believe them.
Remember Obama's promise to halve the national debt? How's THAT going?
Breaking promises is a LOOOOOOONNNNG political tradition.
We can bugout of the process and stay home on election day.
Or we can hold our noses and vote for the lesser evil.
Despite the fact that I see a very bleak fututre for our country no matter who wins, I am vehemently opposed to Obama and will support Romney, Gingrich, Santorum, or Pee-wee Herman (should he somehow gain the republican candidacy) for president against Obama.

"I loves teh cars!"
Boy, if he said that sooner I wouldn't have wasted time listening to debates.
