Hey Dan – thanks for visiting. I can see you’re a Romney man and that’s great that you stand up for your candidate this way.Sure, McCain has some negative things to deal with. I’m not leaning either way right now, but Romney has his share of negative issues to deal with that turns off some conservatives. People are not sure who they will get with Romney. Will they get a his pro-life stance now, or his pro-choice stance from the past? Will they get a protector of the second amendment that he promotes now, or will they get his anti-gun stance from the past? One thing I don’t like about Romney was what he said in the debate yesterday. He said one of the two major things he regrets in life is not serving in the military. Now, being a veteran, I’ve heard this crap from my non-veteran friends before. It does not impress me. Bottom line is he did not. He also compared his sons campaigning for him to men and women serving their country in the military. One thing that many folks are worried about is Romney’s religious beliefs. I have no concerns about it, but his religion scares some people. As governor of Massachusetts, Romney raised fees on things like drivers, marriage, and gun licenses. He increased the gasoline taxes. He increased tuition at state colleges. He promoted issuing marriage licenses to same sex couples. So it seems Romney and McCain have lots of baggage to deal with. It will be up to the righties to see who best fits their idea of a conservative.Thanks again for visiting.
