    1. Tell us step by step, the EXACT ACTIONS that you will take to create 12 million Jobs? EXACT, SPECIFIC ACTIONS, put in bullet points!

    ...and don't just say..."Cut taxes, wait for trickle down".

    2. Tell us EXACTLY what will be cut to balance the budget after you spend $5 Trillion on tax cuts and $2 Trillion on extra Military, BE SPECIFIC?

    3. Tell us EXACTLY what tax deductions you will cut when you lower the marginal tax rates, BE SPECIFIC?

    Your questions may have some bearing on people if you had held Obama to that same standard.

    Obama's not planning to cut taxes and eliminate deductions, Romney is. Obama is not planning to increase military spending. He is planning to raise taxes for some to help cut the deficit, He is planning to hire teachers and move money from wars in infrastructure to create jobs, and YES! Government CAN CREATE JOBS...he also talks of tax breaks to bring manufacturing jobs INSIDE THE USA, so he's given some details, while Mitt only says, 'trust me, I've done it before'...NO DETAILS.

    Romney offered a very responsible response if you had been paying attention.

    He stated that you can't lay out a specific plan since any negotiation is likely to change it. He said the prudent course is to lay out your goal and then strive for that goal with the help of Congress. If he lays out exact specifics and something changes during negotiations you will accuse him of not doing what he said.

    Look at all the specific crap Obama couldn't do (Gitmo) that he promised he would because of Congress.

    Romney, unlike Obama, realizes that Presidents do not write legislation, Congress does. The President is there to help them steer a course to a specific destination which in this case would be lower taxes.

    Romney is trying to LIE and OBFUSCATE his way into office. His credibility SUCKS, and he should NOT be elected to office in light of the same.

    WAKE THE FRACK UP PEOPLE!!

    That doesn't cut it for me, since I'd like to hear SPECIFICALLY what he'd like to do even if it's hard to do and also, since I think "trickle down" is a scam to help upper income people pocket more money without anything getting any better for anybody else, I'm not impressed with any plan that includes "Cut taxes, wait for trickle down". The thing is, in trickle down, nobody is obligated to invest in anything that will specifically create jobs, so the vast majority don't, so the benefit is very little if at all, as proven over 30 years-it's a FAILED IDEOLOGY.

    Your response did not answer my accusation. That's because you cannot answer it. You're demanding specificity from Romney, but it's crystal clear that you know exactly as much about what Romney wants to do as you do about what Obama wants to do.

    Yet no such whining about Obama. This is because you like and trust Obama, and dislike and distrust Romney. Through that rationalization, you justify your obvious double standard.

    This allows me to conclude the following: it doesn't matter at all what Romney offers you with specifics, as it will have only two possible effects: you'll either continue to whine that he is not specific enough, or you'll attempt to pounce on the specifics as "bad for America", because you've already concluded that the general path Romney wants to take is bad for America.

    You don't want specifics for any constructive purpose. You want specifics as fodder to further the liberal narrative.

    Fail, OP.

    You keep repeating trickle down as if you believe that if you say it enough it will become the truth. Romney does not believe in trickle down and I'm sure you would like specifics but considering the man hasn't met with Congress and listened to what they want also that is simply not the rational thing to do.

    Romney has worked with democrats before and understands that anything specific he says is likely not to be the end product of negotiations so why talk about it with only half the facts. Its better to lay out the end goal you want to achieve and leave the actual specifics for once they have been agreed to by both sides.

    Its like asking a new football coach for specifics on how he is going to win games. He says he plans to improve this and this with the hopes of achieving victory yet your screaming for an actual number of laps the people are going to run, how long every practice will be, how much weight each individual player is going to bench press.....your missing the bigger picture.

    Why?
    Does the President have a 'plan' he is keeping secret?
    Or are you simply afraid to hold romney to ANY standard?

    He is going to TRY and lie and obfuscate his way into office, but he will fail.

    Using big words doesn't give your post any more validation you know.

    He doesn't? He absolutely does! He thinks the answer to creating jobs is to just cat taxes on the wealthiest people and hope they RANDOMLY DECIDE, if they FEEL LIKE IT to invest in something that will create jobs, what exactly is that, if it's not rickle down. WOW, just WOW! Romney supporters are just like the man himself, just lie, deny what you said yesterday, or the day before and make ccrap up on the fly, depending on the audience.

    you say..."Romney doesn't believe in trickle down"...LMFAO!

    No he didn't were you paying attention?

    So the same thing with his tax returns, 'if I tell you you will be mad, so I'm not going to tell you'?? And somehow you're OK with that?
    Lets turn it around and pretend it is a Democrat taking that tactic, will you be OK with it then?

    Yep, you *********s threw a fit over it., Now you're trying to hold it against him, saying he 'lied'. Do conservatives and *********s have and credibility, morals or ethics at all?

    Lower taxes? They are at an all time low now, thats why we are in so much debt, when will you people figure that out?
    Lower taxes does nothing but raise debt.
    romeny is the worst choice anyone could make and I thing deep down even you know it.

    And did Romney say he only wants to cut taxes on the wealthy or did he actually say that everyone should see their taxes cut?

    You are spot-on correct. The people backing Romney care primarily about the MONEY America might afford them, they surely do not care about 'people'. Only "corporations" are 'people' to Romney and the like.

    I really think people when they get in the booth will say to themselves that while they may not think we are in great shape that electing Romney is too much of a risk as he has not spelled out how his plan adds up and will play it safe and re-elect the President.

    He says lots of things, then he changes them, then he says something entirely different.
    Thats the point, romney is like nailing jello to the wall.

    Yes. And I also think a lot of 'women' aren't going to tell their husbands they disagree with the overall agenda surrounding Mitt Romney.

    And minorities generally know better than to trust someone like Romney.

    I think you are correct. I work at a very large company and what I am hearing is the romney frightens people because no one really know what he will do.
    I've cast my ballot and I am encouraging everyone I talk to, to at least vote and to really think about their choice.

    So if Romney always says something different then why do you believe he will cut taxes on the wealthy?

    Have you seen what he did for wealthy people when he was Governor? He closed corporate tax loopholes which effectively raised the corporate tax rate in that State by 85% and made Massachusetts one of the most business unfriendly States in the nation. Does that sound like someone who believes in trickle down?

    What good is it for middle class people to get their taxes cut a few hundred dollars a year if the benefits and services cut from them to pay for the big tax cuts are worth multiple times more? To give the little tax cut to middle class people, pay ton$ more for military and then BALANCE THE BUDGET, you need to cut a lot of stuff, I doubt what the middle class person gets back in a tax cut is worth what they'll lose on some other end, whether it be through medicare, medicaid, education, health care, home owner deduction, you name it.
