Mitt has my vote.
Today, we go to the polls to choose who we want as our party's presidential nominee. I am supporting Gov. Mitt Romney; let me tell you why.
He is, in my mind, what a conservative Republican leader should be. His stands on education, national security, immigration, health care and taxes are right in line with mine. But most important to me is that he has a lifelong history of success in both business and government. He is a brilliant businessman with what many folks in Massachusetts refer to as "wicked smarts." With the economy like it is, we must have a razor-sharp person such as Mitt to steer us back on course.
I also like that he is not one of the Beltway boys who are more concerned about getting kudos from the press or scoring debate points for our party. He is concerned about what is best for the American people. He is about getting the job done not just talking about it.
Please see for yourself and visit www.MittRomney.com, and join me in supporting him as our next president.

Mitt has my vote.
Its sad when the chairman of the Columbia County Republican party has the same views as Mitt Romney. Let's start with his stance on education, which is to increase federal involvement with the local school system. Doesn't sound very conservative to me. On health care, he wants to extend his RomneyCare National health care throughout the country. Once again, that doesn't sound very conservative to me. And since when did Republicans believe in having the president steer the economy? I don't care if Romney has past experience in business because government is simply NOT A BUSINESS. If conservatives truly believe that Mitt Romney is one of there own, then I guess we've got to starting asking "Just what is a conservative?"
ohhsweetconcord that is simply wrong. Please review Mitt's website before posting. Facts: Increased local control of education, Increase privately insured (not national health care), and the business experience allows him to relate to the over 100 million of us who work for large corporations.
