Overall I think it was a lot easier to get away with things in 1968 than it is now. In a world where every move you make leaves a trail of some kind and where there are countless would be sleuths (amateur and professional) out scratching the ground and the Today show will chat with anyone who knew you in 3rd grade, I just don't see how Mitt Romney's past could be that sordid without someone broadcasting it. He's rich, but he ain't rich enough to buy them all off.Originally Posted by peggy
I'm no big Romney fan peggy. Truth is I'm pretty neutral about him, no big high or low. The main reason I will probably vote for him, like I said above, is that I think he has a better shot at leading the US in a direction where we (IMO) need to go. I think we have a better shot at it with a Republican administration than we do by reelecting the President. Money isn't the answer to everything and throwing money at a problem hardly ever works, BUT in terms of the government everything DOES run on money. I believe our spending is out of control and unsustainable. I believe our economy is in very bad shape. There is too much debt, public and private. Until the economy recovers we won't be able to truly fix anything else, but I don't believe Mr. Obama feels that way. To be sure the President has had a hard row to hoe in the last 3.5 years and the stagnation in Congress is not all his fault, but I have simply not seen the kind of leadership from him that I had hoped for. I never hoped for him to fail because that means we all failed, but he has not succeeded with what I hoped he would so I plan to vote for someone who will take a different approach. We talk about the lesser of the evils. Unfortunately for me that is exactly what this election is about. I probably didn't help my chances to land a job on the campaign with that one, huh?
