The reason Romney is struggling is because the Democrats, with the help of the media, have been very effective with their campaign of distraction.

The OP asked for reasons. I gave one.

Now, it's very easy for you to dismiss my reason as an excuse, but without providing your own facts to dispute me, your dismissal is impotent.

Virtually every bump in the road the Romney campaign has had has been at its own making. The Obama team has been able to just sit back and watch Romney self destruct.

You were complaining the real issues aren't brought up. So I was bringing them up. But it is a trick question, Romney has never clarified how he's going to pay for anything with all these tax cuts and increases in government spending.
 
Re: Voters say they’re worse off after four years of Obama, so why is Romney struggli

As long as the republican party clings to a platform that's heavily cloaked in religion, they're going to struggle and struggle and struggle to find a candidate that people who truly make the difference in elections will get behind.

The undeclared, the independents, those who are unaffiliated with either party, the swing voters....those are the people that decide elections.
As long as the Reps are bible thumping church AND state parishioners, they're going to have difficulty gaining any popularity outside their own base.

We're in need of a fiscally conservative - socially liberal candidate who can grasp the idea that religion is a private matter, and not a tool for governing the country.

Well, that's cool, I guess. You used a trick question for a non-issue.

I wasn't complaining about anything. I was answering the OP's question.

Regulating morality is limiting freedom no matter which side it comes from.
Don't carry guns, no same sex marriage , no smoking, no salt on foods, all examples on limits on freedoms.
Romney needs to articulate how his fiscally conservative plan will help out the economy.
The social issues are just that social issues, and should not be the concern of the Government.
 
Re: Voters say they’re worse off after four years of Obama, so why is Romney struggli

there is a policy difference between Romney and Obama?

Looks like the US corpocratic propaganda system is fit and healthy

Good luck with voting in the up coming puppet and clown show

This is now the 2nd page in which you claim your opinion to be a fact. Demonstrating you have zero concept of the difference between a claim and a a fact. Why do you struggle to debate like this?

And you continue to have a problem with plain English.

I have NEVER claimed my opinions are facts.

Looks to me like YOU are the one having trouble debating.

America is at a crossroads. you either vote for the Mormon or the Kenyan. there is no middle ground since people hated on the Constitutionalist, Ron Paul.

Here is your opinion

¨You know, I don't think Kerry enjoyed the same adoration or assistance from the media that Obama has been getting. Too bad for him, eh?

Anyway, your attempt to deflect to Kerry to dispute a point I didn't make kind of fell flat on it's face, didn't it?

At no point did you provide a single fact. You posted your opinion and then assumed that it was a fact. Do you know what the word implication means? Finally, here you are presenting you opinion as a fact

I don't present excuses and I base my opinions on the facts I see. Such as the fact that Obama's whole campaign has been based on deflecting from his record toward all the inconsequential or false issues he can concoct about Romney and such as the media's tendency to splash these bogus issues that Obama comes up with all over the news while hardly mentioning any attempt by Romney to address Obama's record or the issues that are really of interest to the People.

Anyway, before you start making predictions about what I'll do in the future, you should get to know me without letting your bias get in the way.

I will have to go with the Mormon then, Every Mormon I have ever known has been a decent person.
Strong values, and not pushy about what they believe.
I don't think I can say the same thing about our current President.

Seriously, dude...you either have a BIG problem with comprehension...or you are intentionally being obtuse. Either way, I stand by my contention that my opinions are not fact...they are only my opinion. Now, to be sure, my opinions are based on a lot of things and some of those things are facts, but my opinions, themselves are NOT facts.

Anyway, it's obvious that you would rather rank on me than talk about the topic of this thread and, since I'm tired of your shennanigans, as I do with you liberals so often, I'll dismiss your posts.

Because they aren't being offered an alternative that seems better.

If things aren't going to get better, maybe they feel Obusha will be more sympathetic to them as they struggle.

Just an opinion, of course.

I think that's probably it. Romney's whole thing has been "No really, I know this economy stuff. Trust me." While I'd tend to believe him somewhat, for a lot of people "Trust me" or "At least I'm different" aren't going to cut it. Especially after buying into "Hope" and "Change," "Trust me" ain't enough.

He opens his mouth and he finds himself in trouble.....we can't afford a president who doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut or fails to know how to speak with tact.....every time he opens his mouth he manages to insult groups of American people or our foreign allies.

You just stated you opinion is a fact:

How to pay for increases in government spending while cutting taxes at the same time when we are fueled by debt is a "non-issue?" Seriously?
 
Re: Voters say they’re worse off after four years of Obama, so why is Romney struggli

Neither one of them has a clue or a plan. Neither one offers up honesty. This is a struggle for power and has nothing to do with making America better.

Yep. It's a non-issue in respect to my comments in this thread.

You said "a trick question for a non-issue" the question was regarding how Romney plans to pay for all his promises, so you were referring to that not your comments in this thread which you hadn't mentioned before this point. And trying to imply that meaning to your original post is completely silly, it makes no sense whatsoever.

Why is it that Romney must come up with every single metric in his campaign, when Obama won't even articulate what his own record is, much less what he plans to do?
