Mitt Romney understands government as well as business. He was governor of MA. If you look at his resume and what he brings to the table and compare it to Obama's, it will leave you shaking your head and wondering how Obama ever got elected to begin with. Clearly, he did it with his eloquent speeches.
Our economy has not recovered from the recession. The jobs picture is still dismal and the country is now $16 trillion in debt. Obama's policies have not worked. Why vote for the status quo? Who wants four more years of excuses? We need a new approach.
With the debt, Romney won't raise taxes to increase revenue, but he will reform the tax code to make us more competitive in the global economy. Our corporate tax rate of 35% is one of the highest in the world. By lowering that, companies will start investing again in the US. That will create more jobs and that will mean more taxpayers and more revenue. To me, its a better plan that what Obama has for lowering the debt. His "tax the rich" mantra might sound good in a campaign speech, but in reality that will not be enough to even put a dent in the huge amount of debt that we owe.
Israel is our only true ally in the region and its important for us to defend them to keep some kind of stability and maybe one day broker a Palestinian/Israeli peace agreement. The UN created Israel in 1948 and the US had a large role in its creation. We can't just walk away. We have an obligation to work with the Arab nations to help Israel gain the acceptance of its neighbors.
Theres no doubt that we waste lots of money on military spending, but I see a President Romney being more careful at how the money is spent. I would expect him to scrutinize the budget and find ways to reduce spending and increase efficiency. Thats something that Obama doesn't seem willing to do.
I'm thinking you mean Iran instead of Iraq. Obama has implemented sanctions, but they are not tough enough to be effective. Releasing viruses like Stuxnet to target their nuclear program was a good idea, but allowing people in his administration to leak what should be classified information about it to the press is just not acceptable. In the game of cat and mouse, Romney will threaten them with military action and could even support surgical strikes on suspected nuclear sites. I think he would draw a very clear line in the sand.
Even though the shuttle program would have ended, there is never any talk from Obama about space. I guess his plan is to give up.
The reason I like Paul Ryan is because he has the willingness to tackle the tough problems that Obama doesn't seem to want to look at. Obama never did anything with the Simpson-Bowles commission's recommendations. Ryan introduced a budget, maybe not a perfect one, but a starting point. I think he adds a lot to the ticket.
One main difference between Obama and Romney is that Obama is a media darling. Its a good thing, because he would never be able to defend his record. Romney isn't a good politician and he isn't as glib as Obama, but his successes in life speak volumes to me about what he could do for this country. Yes, I totally agree that our political process is awful. All the negative ads and personal attacks take the place of a real discussion about the real issues.
If something isn't working, it makes more sense to me to try something different.
