2) cut taxes - again, some pretty public comments.
3) Increased spending and more tax cuts like Bush gave us will give us a bigger deficit - and let's not forget that more people are retiring, the Social Security annual surplus is GONE so the government has to pay back some of those IOUs in the Social Security trust fund. Hence: "make Obama's deficits look like pocket change"
4) but keep the status quo for the very wealthy - The wealthy have shown ample ability to survive these problems. Not so much the middle class.
Romney is certainly no Reagan. Can't compromise -though now that I think about it who knows where his undecided nature will take him (what others call his 'flip flopping').
So what part of that got such a reaction?
Again, remember, I'm no fan of Obama but Romney doesn't look better to me.

First, the biggest one that you failed to repeat this time. The absolutely ridiculous and ludicrous idea that Santorum would create some kind of "theocracy". What a crock of "you know what". I'm sorry DJ, but that just the stupidest thing I've heard anyone (and you're not alone, so I hate to single you out) say this campaign season.
1. "increasing the military budget"; now this translates to "ramping up wars"?? What?, are you hanging with Cindy Sheehan now? How you make this connection is beyond me. You want war?; you want war??......disarm our military and you'll get war. Your conclusion is the exact opposite of reality.
2. Again, the complete opposite of reality. Cut taxes, especially corporate and capital gains taxes with surety and you give business confidence that this is the time to expand and seek their apex. This works every time it's tried. I wish I could resurrect the great Ronald Reagan to explain this to you better.
3. Severely decrease spending and cut taxes. That's your answer. Government has got to get out of business's way. The government cannot create wealth. They only take it.
4. Class envy nonsense. I won't address it.
5. Either Romney, Santorum or Gingrich would be world's better than Obama, with his low view of America's greatness, his battle to turn our free country into a top-down government dominated society with "like intellectuals" (what a joke) in charge of our daily lives.
At least these Republicans with their faults are real Americans, and I'm not talking about place of birth, I'm talking about American in their heart. Obama is devoid of Americanism. He a despiser of the U.S. Constitution which he believes is the law for "old white America", and obsolete and an obstacle to be overcome in the new and brave Obama world of tomorrow.
