No, think your right. There is simply to much confusion in Romney's run. He commits to very little, explains even less and seems to expect the voting public to vote for him simply because he is the only other choice.

The problem is, regardless of who the person is, all they want is to get elected and therefore they are going to say whatever they think the public wants to hear. I'm sure there are some new politicians who have morals, but by the time the make it to the top of the heap, most have sold out to the highest bidder long ago. And what really burns me is that somewhere along the line, nearly all politicians forget they are supposed to represent their constituents whether they agree or not, and not their own personal wants and desires.

All i'm saying is that the whole middle east foreign policy "Good will" that Obama may have had is long gone. It would not suprise me if Iran told the US to mind its own business and proceeded to wipe the floor with Israel, what would "O" do? Election on one side... further irritating a lot of the middle east even other, certainly a no win situation. This is all conjecture I hope nothing happens but expecting the worst.

I think Romney just looked around, saw he was the presidential nominee and realized he was in way over his head.
It has dawned on him that sitting around a private club with a bunch of other rich guys, drinking 25 year old scotch and kabizting about what the president should do and how a businessman could do it better is a lot different than actually doing the job.


You mean kinda like going from community organizer to pres, I see that.

"O" would do nothing. He is not a supporter of Israel. You might just find Israel wiping the floor with Iran.

I get the distinct impression that Romney really doesn't want to be President - or doesn't care.

It's interesting that people think Romney and Ryan should think exactly the same on every issue. My wife and I get along pretty well but we do not see eye to eye on everything. IMHO I think it's good to have a bit broader spectrum of ideas. If all you do is talk to yourself you aren't going to get any new ideas.

Frankly, if we pulled all support...ALL support....from the Middle East, it would implode in just a few short weeks because there is not a leader in any of those little sandboxes who is going to get up off all the money he has siphoned off for decades to save the little ratholes they call home. I am talking about removing every single American citizen and every single dollar in aid from any country even remotely suspected of harboring or sympathizing with terrorists.

End of problem without a single shot being fired.

As for the Romneys and friends, when his wife told the media, "We've given YOU PEOPLE all the financial information you need." she effectively torpedoed the campaign. John Q. Public Average American Citizen may not be a rocket scientist, but he's very good at holding a grudge and there's nothing that will start a grudge faster than sheer arrogance.

Go back and TRY to look at it unbiasedly. She was referring to the media. All of BamBam's supporters are looking for a reason to justify their support. If it were not this comment, you would have found something else.

Iran is perfectly capable of telling everyone to mind their own business, but I doubt they could "wipe the floor" with Israel. Regardless of their blustering, Iran has no friends in the Mid-East. Even Syria is there only to suck up to the bully. Isreal has the mentality of Joshua and Gideon, and will fight to the last man, woman and child for it's survival. If it came to that "last" Israeli, Iran and any of their Mid-Eastern allies will be glazed over. Iran knows this and they aren't that stupid. The Muslim Brotherhood knows this, too, and ARE that stupid. That is why Israel must succeed in stopping this religious insanity of worshipping death and destruction. It only took one nondescript Bosnian to start World War I, and this big war, if it comes, will not be between Israel and a bunch of little jerk-joint sand flea countries.
