Hi, I'm babylonsister and approve this thread IF

you can think of a reason romney might be presidential material. Gimme one, because I can't think of any.

Even if the "numbers" go to hell in a handbasket, he's the guy to fix it? Ack! Give me one reason to vote for him? Or why anyone would?? Pleeze?

There are folks that voted for Bush.

Being incapable of common sense doesn't remove them from the voting pool (nor should it, because even in America the most moronic idiots have the right to vote).

Hi, Republicans. Hate this (middle finger).

I can't think of a person I would rather guide American into the post apocalyptic Zombie abyss that will follow the end of time post 2012 than Mitt Romney. If their isn't a future then I guarantee you Mitt Romney is the right person to lead us into that non-existent future!

that a Romney presidency might be just the spark needed for a real proletarian revolution here.

I consider myself a revolutionary and not an incrementalist reformer-type, but I don't think taking several steps backward advances the cause of the working class. I always take pains to challenge that Occupy idea when I encounter it on Facebook or the Occupy websites I monitor and post at.

Will give you the reasons, you even know them, and realize we're the choir.

1.- Job creator and leader of industry. (It's code but in a society impressed with the very rich, that has play)

2.- He believes in America, how exceptional it is...you know the drill. Among the America is exceptional, strong and defense crowd, that has an appeal.

3.- This one is critical and nobody wants to really say it, so I will. He's white...there, I said it.

4.- This other one is like important, and like number 3 again, people really don't want to say it...he is not a democrat... (In modern politics that means a good ol' boy)

Number one and two are hitting the paleo crows. Number three and four the xenophobic crowd.

And this campaign has just started to get dirty by the way.

Oh and you cannot think of any reason, the ones I presented to you have a lot of play around the right people, including a bunch of Reagan Democrats.
