Mitt Romney

It makes no difference who wins the US presidency because they're all working for the same people. That's why nothing ever changes, even when someone different gets voted in.

No they are saying he will 'bomb' Iran. Slight difference.

But anyway, I'm not too au fait with how the US system works but I'd be surprised if Romney by himself could declare nuclear war on another country without getting it through the senate and house of representatives (which would be made up of a fair few democrats). I'd suspect the UN would have a few things to say as well.

Don't forget their system is based on ours, ergo despite them having a president, it's actually the three arms of government that have to all agree to get anything done. This is specifically designed to stop a mad man (or party over here) getting into to power and doing bonkers things.

For example, Obama has struggled to get some of his stuff through because of this. The US president doesn't have absolute power in the same way the cabinet don't have absolute power here.

I'm sure the Commander in Chief can engage militarily with whomever he likes, regardless of whether it's with or without Congressional approval.
 
The US media are really playing up Romney's campaign but I honestly think they are just trying to keep the race interesting. Remember, boring race = no ratings.

If you look at poll numbers, Obama is going to trounce him in the electoral college barring any major gaffs.
 
Mitt Romney believes that Jesus visited America and that the Garden of Eden was in Missouri. His foreign policy is going to be a disaster.

Romney is the preferred choice of the zionist lobby hence why all the media are supporting him.

Romney bowing to Israel
 
Mitt Romney has to be one of the stupidest people alive.
They should ban religious extremists from politics, else it's like saying "lets live 2000 years ago, **** all the progress we've worked so hard for!"

As much as I think it's bad we have conservatives in this country, I'm certainly glad we don't have these republican mental cases.
 
im not actually that surprised at some of these if they are true.

I'm not too worried about Romney. The GOP is a total fail train right now, and most of his own party have written him off and were using the RNC to showcase themselves for potential 2016 candidates. Also, the evangelical right (a big part of the GOPs power base), are a dying breed.
 
The funny thing is that Romney for some reason actually believed that one of the other utter retards in the Republican primary actually had a chance of being being nominated, and so for some daft reason recreated himself as this uber-right wing conservative and thus has fallen into the 'appeal to the base' trap well-trodden by the likes of Michael Howard, William Hague, Ian Duncan Smith etc - spending all his time appealing to people who would vote for a potato if it was Republican or not-Obama while utterly alienating the independent swing voters who actually decide elections.

The irony arising that if Romney had run as Massachussets-moderate Romney (i.e .who he actually is, instead of who he is pretending to be), in favour of compromise, getting things done, Romneycare as well as a successful businessman, then the hard-core Republicans would still vote for him as a non-Democrat potato, he would be far more appealing to independents and would probably be on course to win this election. :p

Actually he was trying to appeal to Tea Party types who are even more conservative than normal republicans. What he said about income tax payers is exactly right and should resonate with them. It basically comes down to producers vs consumers, and he doesn't have a chance with the consumers. He needs to get the people in the swing states who would otherwise write in a vote for Ron Paul or not bother voting at all.
 
Except he didn't need those guys to win the primary, and arguably looking at current polling he doesn't need those guys to win the election, he needs the votes of moderate independents in swing states, not rabid minimalists who are generally based in solid red states in any event and unless Ron Paul is nominated will either not vote or vote for the not-Obama potato in any event.
