and I think it is a pretty smart move. We have 4 months and a couple of debates plus 2 conventions before the election. Anything he says now can be taken out of context, turned around or can back him into a corner. Now if he doesn't answer any questions directly prior to Nov that would be a different story. He will, his advisors will help him. Romney is no dummy!!!!

Default What do you think about Romney's response?

Romney's NON-response is completely in line with his campaign plan.

He's purposely being very evasive about specifics of "his" policies. Because they aren't "his" policies. He'll be another neocon puppet if he wins. And he'll be Dubya all over again. With less personality and slightly more intellect.

His handlers have decided to try to make the campaign solely about Obama not cleaning up Bush's mess fast enough.

So you believe the millions of voters sitting on the fence, thirsting for something of substance from Romney should be held in suspense until then? Are you serious? This is the worst strategic play to make. The news media is already crying about his lack of position on immigration. They would rip him a part. He needs to stand firm on issues instead of trying to pander to everyone. He has no courage to lead with conviction.

Yeah, no reason to actually take a position on any issue or issue a platform. Do you really believe this hogwash?

Romney should provide answers now. There is a reason why he is called an empty suit, flip-flopper, or etch-a-sketch..

I won't hold my breath.

I cannot speak to whatever Romney said with regard to the Arizona ruling yet.
However, I just went to the Romney website today, and I thought it was laid out in a thorough and organized way.
You want to know what he thinks about any given subject, and what he intends to do about it? Just click on it and read.

This is the suggestion I was looking for. Why I couldn't think of it myself, I don't know.

You seem very level-headed and informed. Why others cannot be like you, and not resort to insults, idk. Anyway, thank you.

Is his itinerary on there? He will be near me tonight, but it's for one of those mega-monied fundraisers ($50,000 a plate). Is he going to have any events for actual typical middle-class Americans? I promised that I would go see him speak even though he hasn't done or said much to make me want to vote for him.
