Romney increased spending He doesn't have any plan whatsoever to cut spending and actually increased spending in Massachusetts. http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/12/31/clarification-on-huckabee-and-romney-spending/ Romney increased taxes He has no plan to cut taxes and increased corporate tax revenue by $300 million, and also raised fees by $400 million. http://www.boston.com/news/globe/editorial_opinion/oped/articles/2007/10/11/mitts_no_tax_mirage/ Romney did not tackle the deficit The fact of the matter is, he went into office with a $1.2 billion deficit and left with a $1.3 billion deficit. http://www.factcheck.org/some_new_some_old.html http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9F00E5D61E31F935A25750C0A9619C8B63&pagewanted=all Romney supported the $700 billion TARP bailout If he's actually willing to admit that he will allocate taxpayer dollars to big companies, just imagine how much money his campaign contributers will get? (See video at bottom) Romney likes mandates. He thinks mandates work. Not only has he publicly stated this, but actually implemented the blueprint for ObamaCare in Massachusetts, and has said that he would support the plan nationally, although he's trying his best to cover up the hypocrisy and is recently saying that it works great for states but not as a national plan. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBFQKxLMPy4"]Health Care: Mitt Romney flip-flops on Health Care - WhichMitt.com - YouTube[/ame] But he's a businessman, and he created lots of jobs, right? In Romney's four years as governor, Massachusetts ranked 47th in jobs growth. Perhaps he doesn't understand that government doesn't create jobs, but the free market does. You allow the free market to create jobs by letting them allocate the funds rather than the government by cutting taxes and spending. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/mitt-romney-tries-to-play-the-jobs-card-2010-02-23?pagenumber=1 But he's still a good social conservative, right... ? Romney supported "a woman's right to choose" He advocated to "keep the status quo" when it came to abortion laws (See video at bottom) Romney supports "tough gun laws" He supported the Brady Bill, assault weapons ban, and said that he supports the "tough gun laws" in Massachusetts for "our safety."

The two italicized stances I have no problem with. The fact that he has flip-flopped on them is an issue. However, there is nothing wrong with being pro-choice and pro-gun control on a state level, where they have the right to legislate such matters.
Herman Cain, Colin Powell, Allen West, Marco Rubio... all non White Conservatives that White Conservatives would vote for.
Point being that Conservatives will elect a non White president, provided that we like their ideas, and stances on various things. Btw, don't forget that Obama is not Black, he's bi-racial... it's just that for some reason he relates more with his African heritage than his European heritage... and his supporters/foes alike, are curiously quick to forget that he's not actually Black.
How to use a two-product strategy against low-price competition This strategy foresees a second, lower positioned product to be added to the existing higher positioned brand product, which is targeted directly against the low-priced competitors. The most important aspect of such a strategy is that the two products are differentiated strongly enough to minimize cannibalization. This can be achieved by differentiating brand, quality, price and/or distribution. A two-product strategy has proven successful in many countries and markets, but can also help in a less competitive environment by opening new distribution channels or offering more customized products for specific market segments. http://www.simon-kucher.com/Interne...932e4509cd6e9a44c12566880050e411?OpenDocument Romney would understand what this stratagy is talking about and other strategies that utilize competition and name branding as a way to maximize profits. It can be applied politically and my theory is that it has already been done. I do not give credit to Romney for any of this only that as a seasoned business man i am confident he is aware of it. I will not vote for Romany primarily because he has no integrity. The only constancy he has is in his ability to change views while pandering to the public for political power. As mentioned above by other posters his ACTIONS point toward a very liberal agenda that also protects his business associates. That to me points to just another corrupt republican who would push the party further to the left. It would make the party pretty much dead to a lot of conservatives today. And liberals should wake up to the fact that Obama has pushed the Democratic Party heavy to the right. We all need to wake up to whatÂ’s happening.
