1. I don't know--Mitt went a little wobbly on the war. Called it a mess
and I think he knows it's a losing proposition. He's the closest of the top R tier to come out and express a desire to start pulling out troops. That will hurt him.

2. Yeah but that's all the GOP candidates
except no-hoper Ron Paul.

When it comes to foreign policy, not one of them is a hairs difference from the Bush Cheney Fandango we've suffered with the last few years.

7. Romney has stated he would eliminate tax on investments/capital gains and estate & gift taxes
Romney is worth over $250mil, and almost all his income is from investments, .... hmmmmm

That would mean Romney and is similarly situated 'friends' would likely PAY NO TAXES AT ALL.

Romney would be a train wreck of the first order.

10. Keep in mind that 'no taxes on all types of savings' is far from what Romney is proposing
John Edwards and others have advocated no taxes on savings accounts.

Romney is talking about no taxes on income from buying and selling capital assets which lead to capital gains, and buying and selling of securities and bonds.

He also is in favor of allowing all estates to go untaxed, not just those worth $5mil or less which covers over 95% of all estates today. Without an estate and gift tax applicable to estates at today's level, you will have constant passing of wealth from one generation to the next without taxation.

Taxes are the cost of providing security and government services. If there is no taxation of investment/captal gains and estates, that leaves only one source of raising the needed tax income to run our government..... wage earners.

That is the truth about Romney's 'tax plan.'

The entire burden of financing our government will fall upon the wage earners.

The incident: dog excrement found on the roof and windows of the Romney station wagon.
How it got there: Romney strapped a dog carrier — with the family dog Seamus, an Irish
Setter, in it — to the roof of the family station wagon for a twelve hour drive from
Boston to Ontario, which the family apparently completed, despite Seamus's rather
visceral protest.
