How did Mitt Romney win the Republican Nomination?
-Bill, otherwise known as Kraichgauer
And the Democrats play on your fear of the Republicans, as evidenced by your oft repeated mischaracterizations of them seen above. You've bought the Dem line hook line and sinker, or more likely were simply spoon fed it since birth. Don't get me wrong, I'm no fan of the GOP either, I'm just a stickler for reality, and the reality is that the average conservative is a lot more like Hank Hill than Fred Phelps, liberal propaganda aside.
Really, what would Obama have to do in order to lose your vote? Aside from breaking every campaign promise of note, he's actually killing Americans and then putting every aspect of the process behind a veil of secrecy, so I'm really not sure what he'd have do to lose your support, perhaps something involving camps. Whatever it was, I'm sure he'd get your vote right back by blaming it on Republican intransigence and/or Fox news, especially if it was something he did unilaterally, like say starting an air war.
Open your eyes man, at least know it when you're getting used. I voted for the guy myself, remember? A mistake I won't be repeating, because I try to only get fooled the once.

Bill's characterization was correct. Just listening to the Repug propaganda is enough to scare normal people into voting against them--while the Greens or Socialists might be more appealing, it would be unpatriotic not to cast one's vote for the Democrats, and give the Repugs a chance to run the nation into the dirt.
If he were to work to destroy Medicare and Social Security, to promise tax cuts for millionaires and tax increases for the poor, then there would be no difference between him and the Repugs, and I would vote Green or Socialist.
He did pass the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which was a "big deal", as our Vice President put it.
His predecessor started the wars. He did pull out of Iraq. Romney wants to stay in Iraq longer, and start a war with Iran.
Not at all.
Open your eyes man, at least know it when you're getting used.
Why did you vote for him the first time?

Mitt Romney is a skilled liar. He can boldly lie and then immediately turn into an attack posture. That makes him a good politician, whatever his other failings. He'll confuse people into thinking he's won an exchange. His campaign also dumped enormous amounts of money into negative ads to tear down any opposition.

Right, they don't like him. He's just "next". Enthusiasm for Romney is low.
A Texas congressman jokingly said of him, "But let me just tell ya, if you are not sure about wanting to support Mitt Romney, whether you are liberal, whether you are very conservative, you ought to be excited because he’s been on your side at one time or another,”

I was kinda hoping for your opinion Bill, that's why I asked you.

Sure the Democrats are preying on my fears of the Republicans. I'm glad they've informed me on that there's a lot to be afraid of. The Ryan budget calls for cutting medicaid, food stamps, school lunches, education, subsidized housing, and everything else good and proper the government offers - and yet increases the Goddamn tax cuts for the rich. As for social security - - the plan, according to Senator Ryan, is that the elderly would get a coupon to cover for the first two months of nursing care or assisted living, and then would have to fend for themselves the rest of the time. This is not Democratic hyperbole, this is what the Republicans figure will save the country. Well, save the country for the wealthiest of them. Add to that union busting - which is happening in Wisconsin - the vilification of the poor and Muslim Americans - which is no longer being hidden behind code words - and barely concealed racism - which is behind the anti-illegal immigrant campaign in Arizona and elsewhere to prevent the "browning of America" - among other matters. There is plenty to be afraid of.
