Walker Wins!

Of course he did, he made it plain: get elected president and transform the country to his pesonal liking, same with all dictators at heart.

 

I think requiring Congress to control expenses, instead of being bought to spend money would be wonderful. And I apply that to both parties. Also there never has been a law that required the US to have only 2 parties. Part of the problem is the money involved and the fact that it can be spent buying only 2 opinions. And most of that money is spent by the same people trying to buy both sides to their own benefit, as opposed to our countries benefit.

 

Take it easy here, that's like saying Obama wants to join China and Russia under a common red flag: Romney is a businessman, he just wants the country to be on a solid financial footing, that's all. Defense spending and wars are expensive, he'll be extra shy there. Fine with me!

 

Thats not what Romney is saying

Iraq pullout a "signature failure" for Obama: Romney



LITTLETON, New Hampshire (Reuters) - Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney on Thursday attacked U.S. President Barack Obama for a "signature failure" to keep some troops in Iraq to prevent the country falling back into sectarian conflict.

Just days after U.S. troops left Iraq, a wave of bombings killed at least 72 people in Baghdad on Thursday. The Shi'ite-led government is engulfed in a crisis that risks fracturing Iraq along sectarian and ethnic fault lines.

A consistent front-runner in polls of Republicans, Romney said he feared leaving Iraq without a stabilization force could put the hard-earned successes and victories there at risk.

"I hope that risk is not realized. I hope that we're able to see stability there but the president's failure to secure an agreement and maintain 10,000 to 30,000 troops in Iraq has to be one of his signature failures," he told Reuters.

Mitt Romney, Ron Paul clash on Afghanistan pullout




Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Texas Congressman Ron Paul are disagreeing on how quickly to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan.

Romney said at a Republican presidential debate Monday that generals in Afghanistan should guide the pullout schedule based to conditions on the ground. He said the troops should come home as soon as possible under those conditions.

Paul said the president must tell generals what to do. He said if he were president he would begin withdrawing troops almost immediately. He said the United States has no purpose fighting a war in Afghanistan.

Romney says 'prepare for war' against Iran




WASHINGTON — Accusing President Barack Obama of naivete on Iran, Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney promised Thursday that if elected president he would "prepare for war" with the Islamic republic.

In a commentary published in the Wall Street Journal, Romney said he would back up US diplomacy "with a very real and very credible military option," deploying carrier battle groups to the Gulf and boosting military aid to Israel.

"These actions will send an unequivocal signal to Iran that the United States, acting in concert with allies, will never permit Iran to obtain nuclear weapons," he wrote.

Romney, a frontrunner in the race for the Republican presidential nomination, keyed his column to a International Atomic Energy Agency report this week citing "credible evidence" that Iran had worked on a nuclear explosive device.

Iran denies it is developing nuclear weapons and insists its nuclear program is for generating electricity, but the report has prompted calls in the West for tougher UN sanctions and demands by Israel for world to act to prevent Tehran for getting nuclear weapons.

Romney said the United States "needs a very different policy."

"'Si vis pacem, para bellum.' That is a Latin phrase, but the ayatollahs will have no trouble understanding its meaning from a Romney administration: If you want peace, prepare for war," he said.

Bomb Iran? Where Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum stand.

The two strongest Republican candidates to emerge from the Iowa caucuses, Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum, both are open to bombing Iran's nuclear weapons program.


Republican candidates Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum emerged as the twin frontrunners after the Iowa caucuses on Tuesday, and this is likely to have interesting reverberations for Iran.


Why Iran? Because both former Gov. Romney and former Sen. Santorum are hard critics of the Obama administration’s handling of the country that Romney sees as America’s largest threat. Both men have said they would bomb Iran if that country developed nuclear weapons. Both believe that Obama’s efforts to negotiate with Iran sends a signal of weakness. And if one of these men emerges as the Republican candidate to go up against Obama, the Republican party will attempt to play to what it regards as its strength – security and foreign policy – and the rhetoric against Iran is only likely to grow sharper.

Obama’s approach to Iran, of course, is shaped by his campaign promise to abandon the unilateralism of the Bush administration, and to work closely with America’s allies to deal with mutual threats, using methods short of war. While the US took the lead in dealing with supposed threats in Iraq – launching the war promising to go after Saddam Hussein’s alleged “weapons of mass destruction” – Europe has taken the lead in dealing with Iran through “critical dialogue” and reminding Iran of its promises to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons.


Most of the Republican candidates portray this carrot-and-stick approach as weakness, and call for military options.

Romney Calls for More Defense Spending



MT. PLEASANT, S.C. — Standing among retired airplanes on the U.S.S. Yorktown, a decommissioned World War II aircraft carrier, Mitt Romney told a small group of veterans on Thursday that given the global threats to America’s interests, the nation’s defense spending should be increased instead of cut.

Acknowledging that waste and excess spending exist within the Defense Department, Mr. Romney still called for increasing the Pentagon’s budget.

 

Obama's a "fly by the seat of my pants" sort of guy. He can only talk in generalities when he puts forth a "plan". We've seen it time after time. He makes promises and calls it a plan without any specifics or any idea how he is going to get there. Any logical follow-through on his "plans" is <s>almost</s> always missing.

 

His "personal liking"...

either

(A) Transform America into a European-like socialist state... where all of the common citizens have virtually nothing (but as such can't whine, "Wah, wah, wah... somebody has more than me"), or

(B) DESTROY AMERICA BECAUSE HE'S REALLY THE ULTIMATE ISLAMIC TERRORIST...

 

What, is this your first campaign ever? These guys don't ever mean what they say, they lie left and right to get elected. Look at the man, deeper inside: he's a money maker, a businessman. That's his schtick. He'll focus on the finances for the most part, and that's good. If/when other things happen, he'll deal with that the best he can. Judging from his past, we can expect him to delegate foreign policy to a few good men

 

LOL, well done, Scat.

 

OK, take it easy, he's not that smart, especially when he's without a teleprompter

Thanks AK-47.
I dont trust most polls or newspapers, generally speaking.

Even though WSJ,IBD is mostly accurate in its business news. Tuesday WSJ , rounding off to the nearest number had it too close to call[Gov Walker wins 50% to M Mayor 47%,2.8% margin of error

Plus no matter the poll, the King of Egypt & his hellish hosts were;
supernaturally drowned in the green sea? No it was the Red Sea.

Then you have the somewhat typical Chicago media hatred of Baptists/conservtives .''Dewey Defeats Truman.''Chicago paper Headline Lie. Well ,President Harry ''Solomon '' Truman was a conservative Dem,Baptist Sunday School Teacher; but he wins anyway.

No wonder the media hated him- Suicide bomer-phobe, fundy Baptist Sunday School teacher.................. LOL

Wonder if SPLC [So Po Law Center ]would have called Pres Truman a hater/intolerant of suicide bombers/Hiroshima hater
