The concerns republicans have with Romney are legitimate. He changes core political values like Newt Gingrich changes wives. People don't know what they're voting for, and there's no way they can expect him to upheld of all his promises seeing as two years from now, when he would be in the White House, he could be a democrat again for all they know. Trusting Mitt Romney when he says things like "I am a Republican" is reckless because he's done nothing to prove this other than making speeches. His voting record is duplicitous, so there can't be anything that he really cares about other than political gain. Romney's support will never eclipse anything other than "tepid" because he is perceived as being untrustworthy both as a politician, and as a person.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of Mitt Romney. His constantly switching opinions on issues are shady and I don't understand how he has so many conservative followers right now when they can barely keep track of where he stands on the issues they care about. However, even though he hears a lot from the republicans following the race right now about being too moderate, being too moderate is what might put him ahead if he gets chosen as the nominee. He might not be a crowd favorite with the hardcore conservatives but not just hardcore conservatives will be voting in the general election against Obama this coming fall. He's dancing on a very thin line.
ReplyDeleteI agree with this article. The real problem with Mitt is that he's very hard to connect with. He seems moderate at times, and is very bland at times. He never gets anyone fired up about anything. Like come on Mitt, GET ME EXCITED. That's why people started liking Newt and Rick, because they got everyone fired up about what they are going to try and accomplish if elected. In the end however, Mitt is definitely the safe choice. He is the best presented candidate, and he speaks the best. So all the undecided people who have no clue, have no problem picking Mitt, simply because he just looks presidential.
ReplyDeleteIf Romney could stay with one voting pattern, then he would be the favorite by most republicans to win this election. He switches to keep up with everyone else's votes. Romney doesn't want to be on the losing vote, so he chooses the one that will win. If he could change that, and find his true beliefs, then the republicans would vote him to win the primary easily. He also is a bit of a dry character, and needs to open up more and have fun, T this point, people are voting against him only because he switches votes as often as he does. If he didn't do that, he would be the first choice by most republicans.
ReplyDeleteRomney definitely wouldn't be someone I would vote for, even if I was Republican. He is very inconsistent with his opinions and voting patterns. If Romney didn't switch his opinions based on the people's opinions, and he was true to what he believed in, people might actually like him more.
ReplyDeleteConsistency. Consistency is what this mans needs. Continuous changing of his policies will eventually break down his train. The 40% who don't believe that he's a true conservative speaks for itself. To be in a top position he needs to make decisions for himself rather than changing what he thinks just to satisfy the people. You do what you gotta do to win in situations but this isn't the best time to be doing that. You're only in the process of becoming a top contender to run the country. no bid deal?
ReplyDeleteI agree with Liam in that Romney really needs to find some solid ground in his stances on policies---it seems like the only thing that is keeping him from running away with the Republican Primary is himself. I do not think that Romney is the right man to be our president; Romney comes off to me as a political puppet. The man does what his advisors tell him to do and changes his stances on policies based on the public polls.
