Why I'm Struggling with the Idea of Voting for Romney

[Amnorix]

I'll say it -- I like him personally and I like him politically. I think he's smart and can be an effective leader. There are things I like about Obama, but things I dislike. As our deficit/debt balloons, I put increasing importance in reining it in.

But when the test comes, Republicans CONSISTENTLY ignore the deficit and instead focus their attention on social issues -- which are diametrically opposed to my positions on such issues.

This article well summarizes why I find it hard to vote for Romney. I'm still undecided, FWIW.

He's a great pragmatist of our time. Direckshun already has him rated one of the 5 best presidents ever.

Now, now, you know Barack Obama is not truly middle of the road...but center-right. Direckshun has told us so repeatedly.
