What are some basic/general concrete points of him vs Obama that a liberal may understand. Not just blanket statements of *he's better" "Obama sucks" or "he'll fix the economy". Those sound like leftist statements with no backing.
Have a family dinner later and I'm sure politics will come up and if I can't keep my mouth shut... I know I'm not going to convince them but regardless |

Why is stainless steel?
If your aunt had balls would she be your uncle? Magnets, how do they work? Dummycunts want to grab your guns as a party platform, they want to close off off-road vehicle acess to public lands as a party platform, they want to give your hard earned money to welfare whores, crack babies and hood rats as a party platform. |
| Liberals shouldn't have too hard a time accepting Romney. He's certainly much better than Obama at getting people to work together and kept his largely uber liberal Massaschusets constituents happy when he was governor. He know he needs to lead the national constituents a little broader and more traditional.....he's want's to back the fed off and let the state's have their own autonomy. |

Mitt Romney wants you to have the ability to decide how to spend the money you earn with the opportunities life presents you.
Obama wants to determine the opportunities for you, along with the outcomes, and dish out "social justice" to those who make no effort to achieve success for themselves. |

I think through this campaign he's started to "get it".
He might not align with me 100% politically, but he's a successful businessman who has a track record of putting others ahead of himself, working for what he believes is right and turning down monetary gain. He believes in American exceptionalism, personal responsibility, and individual effort. I think he truly wants whats best for the country and understands the magnitude of the office he will be filling in a few months. I wasn't thrilled when he won the nomination and decided to vote against Obama. However, in the last couple of months, I've changed my position to voting FOR him. I honestly believe he's being chosen "for just a time as this". |

He has a successful track record and experience with taking failing, border lined bankrupt entities and turning them into profitable ones. That was his job for 20 years. He is precisely the guy we need at the helm to get the country on track for debt reduction. |

Which one has been officially endorsed by the American Communist Party?... Yeah.
Which one has been endorsed by just about every 'evil' world leader? (Putin, Castro, Chavez...)?... yeah. Which one openly supports forced removal of wealth to give it to other folks? yeah... At this point, if folks are blind enough to support the Chairman, I consider them a lost cause. It makes me fear for the future of our country that so many folks will willingly walk down the path laid out in front of us currently.

Barrack is all about jobs.
Except for that Gulf drilling moratorium, and not drilling off the West Coast, and not drilling ANWAR, and not approving the Keystone pipeline, and having the EPA wage a war on coal fired electric plants, while also roadblocking coal exports. He is for technological development, if you are a democratic bundler, you can get gov backed loans for Solyndra, A123, etc. He runs a justice dept that won't prosecute individuals standing in front of polling stations with billy clubs, but will sue every state in the union that tries to enforce immigration laws or voter id. Sad to think that Iraq (where they dipped their fingers in purple ink) has more voter fraud protection than the US. Has swelled the rolls of SNAP (food stamps), unemployment, disability. Vowed to cut the deficit, did the opposite. Did nothing to address entitlement reform when he had a supermajority in congress. Campaigned on transparency and almost instantly abandoned the idea. Campaigned on bipartisan cooperation, and instantly was more polarizing than any other president in history. The man is a liar and a buffoon. As a radio host once said, "I would vote for a can of orange soda over Barrack Obama." |

He is not from the Conservative wing of the Republican Party.
He was opposed by the Tea Party Coalition in every primary. He has a proven record of working with Democrats in Massachusetts to get things done. Note that this partial list is for selling Romney to a liberal––they might see these things as positive. |

| Romneycare and keeping the AWB in Mass going make me sick, I respected Bob Dole and John McCain both combat wounded veterans, one a POW. If anyone should be POTUS they should have paid their dues and know what real sacrafice is, not some Yankee elitists one a left leaning Chicagoad and the other a moderate from Mass |

Because the idea of NO CAPITAL GAINS for people that make less than $250K per year will do a LOT for incentivizing private investment in the stock market, business ventures, real estate, etc. My wife and I make a combined $140K per year...I'm paying back student loans, and have really sacrificed to become debt free, save a truck payment. That sort of 'incentive' would cause me to do a few things that I've been thinking about. 1. Buying houses and developing them as rental properties. This will get some 'movement' in the real estate market from people that are not 'the rich'. 2. Invest in options that are not tax deferred...so I'll STILL have paid payroll taxes and still have to pay income tax on that money...but it's also money I'll have immediate access to, and will spend on capital expenditures, PRIOR to hitting retirement age. 3. Property developers (small ones) will start pumping money into the country to build things. Aside from the fact that Obama is a complete failure in foreign policy, domestic policy, and everything he's attempted...Romney's putting this in his platform is what clinched this for me. I am 40 years old, and the next 20 years for me are going to be a SERIOUS crash course in saving and investing...changing this part of the tax code would give me one hell of a chance to move up and 'become the 1%'...it would CREATE opportunity for me and my household.

For this site? He's the one with the (R) beside his name. This! Besides; Obama has supported gun control, bailouts and socialized healthcare. No patriotic American would vote for a guy like that...right? Correct and I was going to add - he isn't Obama |

He's the former governor of Massachusetts.
An appallingly large amount of leftist criticism of Bush centered around the fact that he was from Texas and had this cowboy image(which is funny because the Bushes were originally from CT). Romney's not a cowboy, a few years ago he was running what's probably the most liberal state in the nation. Don't make the mistake of assuming that they care about the issues, so just talk about Romney's image, and what kind of bumbling fool they'll be voting for if they vote Obama. If you do touch issues bring up the Patriot Act and other positions that Obama has co-opted from Bush, ones that the liberals supposedly hated. |

CVN Very interesting as I'm pretty much in the same boat. My wife and I save as much as we can and are debt free. We just started thinking about a rental property. No capital gains or dividend taxes would be a huuuge game changer for our investment savings as well. Romney is a capitalist and Obama a socialist. In fact there's not a single issue I agree with Obama. That's not to say that I 100% agree with Romney, I don't. But of course I'll never vote for the socialist Obama. |
