If you are a Mitt supporter, why?

Do you think that he is the 'only' candidate running who can compete against the POTUS Obama? If so, why?

I'm just trying to figure out if there are Mitt supporters in OT, and if so, why?

Explain to me why Mitt would be better for America than 4 more years of POTUS Obama, if you will.

doesnt matter who is competiting...if the economy is improving he will be re elected...if not then the republican will most likely win.

he wont...no one will...president is just a figurehead

.

This might be the first time i dont vote for either party.

It seems like the older im getting, the more i hate each major party equally.

I'm just trying to figure out what is going on with this election process.

There will be two candidates for President in November

Barack Obama
Not Barack Obama

Playing the role of "Not Barack Obama" is Mitt Romney.

this appears to show some kind of failure of the process

a candidate no one can really support is getting the support

but why? He's just the best of the worst?

The people who support him aren't represented on this board. Anyone who wants the status quo, namely Wall Street and the military-industrial complex, want Romney and since they have a lot of the money to spend on a candidate, they can influence the election quite a bit. Couple that with those who will vote for anyone other than Romney and you have an "electable" candidate.

Obama with a Republican controlled Congress would do less harm than Romney with a Republican controlled Congress.

No shit, some fucking actor looking dude with an actress wife or some shit like that... a big lug of a fool who you could run out there and he'd just charm the fucking pants off the room while looking all presidential, and his ex-actress wife just worked the room like fucking rocky on drago in the 10th round in the middle of ice cold russia.

yea, yea

I understand.

I thought the same thing the other night. So I did some research on him as a person and what he has done as a CEO. He is know as a turn around specialist, he has brought a few companies from the brink, and also he was appointed to lead the Salt Lake Olympic committee after all the scandal and turned around the whole project to actually net Salt Lake millions from the Olympics, they were actually thinking about scaling a lot of it down and possible losing the Olympics before he came on.

Personally I am not fond of someone with his stature within the Mormon church leading the free world. I don't want another Bush forcing his moral choices on everyone, as if we were Mormons also. I don't care if he was loaded his entire life. He has worked closely with people of lessor income. It's his leadership and ability to pull the government back to a reasonable level that I want. He has the background that I think I want as the CEO of our country.

CEO provides zero experience to be president. How can people be "conservative" but then say they want someone who knows how to run the economy? I thought conservatives wanted the government out of the economy?

What? No, we want small government. We want the government to leave a lot of issues to the states. And much more. My question to you is, "what experience does make a good president?".

LOL... This has to be a level.

Lets all not jump down jhesser's throat right now like we're John Holmes and he's Oral Annie.

I asked for people to help me understand their support, or reasons that they might support Mitt. Jhesser is a class of 05er with few yearly posts. Lets not scare him back into lurking by attacking him too hard.

Ask for clarifications, but lets keep it discussion based, and not personal.

I'm really, actually, interested in pulling out those lurkers who DO SUPPORT Mitt's run for the presidency. I know they exist on here. Lets see how many will share. It should be an important part of the process. And when you ask for a clarification, lets aim to keep it all from degenerating into silliness.

Please.

This is exhibit "A" as to why American political discourse is mired in a state of remedial nonsense.

I honestly don't know, and I'm feeling too lazy to look it up.

Not that I know of.
