Romney would make a great president.

Reasons to agree

1. Romney knows more about business than any other candidate.
2. Romney knows more about the economy than any other candidate. We need a president who understand the economy.
3. Romney lived over seas and speaks French. This would help in France, Canada, Haiti, across Africa, and other former French colonies.
4. Romney, a former CEO, would would help international relations.
5. Romney would change stereotypes about republicans.
6. A Romney presidency would show Muslims that religious minorities are not discriminated against in America, if they play by the rules.
7. Noonan says, Clinton does grace the way George W. Bush does nuance. Romney would be able to make a more nuanced argument for our party.
8. We should elect republicans from blue states.
9. Romney is more educated than any other presidential candidate. Education is good. We should look for people who are educated to run things].
10. We need successful people from business to go into politics.
11. Romney is conservative enough.
1. Robert Bork is a top adviser.
2. Romney was conservative enough in 2008 for Rush Limbaugh.
3. Romney was conservative enough in 2008 for Mark Levin.
4. Romney has not gone left on any issue from 2008.
5. Romney is reasonable.
6. Romney is articulate — phenomenally articulate, by the standards of recent Republican presidential candidates.
7. Romney is reassuring. 
8. Romney is more electable than any of the other candidates and electability will be important for the republicans to consider in 2012. 
1. Rick Perry is too poor a communicator to get elected.
2. Michelle Bachman has not accomplished anything in office, and has no management experience to compare with being a Governor, CEO, or CEO of the Winter Olympics. It would be too easy for Obama to paint her as an extremest. Her shrill hatred of Obama is unbecoming, and is not always policy focused. 
3. John Hunstman is too arrogant and self righteous to ever do anything but kiss up to New Hampshire residents enough to harm Romney.  
4. Obama's approval numbers are weak but not disastrous.
5. The Republican party remains unpopular.
6. Incumbency almost always carries advantages.
7. The composition of the electorate is likely to be much more Democratic than it was in 2010. 
9. On a few issues he has moved right: He now favors a market-oriented reform to Medicare, for example. 
10. If you want to say that Romney got more conservative when he ran for president, fine. Your probably too lazy to look at the facts, and it has been repeated so often that you will never believe. Fine. So what. He has never flipped back. Romney has not to the left sense 2008 when Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin, among other conservative notables supported him.
11. Romney is more conservative than George W. Bush.
1. Bush never came out for the Medicare reform Romney has endorsed.
2. Bush never said that Roe v. Wade should be overturned, Romney has.
3. Romney’s long list of policy advisers includes people who are, within their fields, roughly in sync with the politics of the Bush administration or to its right; almost nobody is significantly to its left.
12. John Boehner and Mitch McConnell will keep our next president conservative.
1. John Boehner and Mitch McConnell are the most conservative congressional leaders Republicans have had in modern times. 
13. Any republican would be more conservative than Obama
1. If at some other point in his presidency a liberal-run Congress sends him tax increases, he will veto them where Obama would sign.
2. Republicans would do more to protect the defense budget.
3. If John Boehner and Mitch McConnell send the next president legislation to repeal Obamacare, cut taxes, or reform entitlements, he/she will sign it where Obama would veto it.
4. Republican judicial nominees would be superior to President Obama’s simply because he would not be trying to stack the bench with liberal activists. But they are likely to far exceed that low bar.
5. Each Republican president since the Nixon-Ford era has nominated a higher percentage of conservatives as justices to the Supreme Court than his predecessor. That’s mostly a testament to the growth and development of the conservative legal network.
6. All the republican presidential candidates in 2011 want lower corporate income taxes.
7. All the republican presidential candidates in 2011 want to convert Medicaid into block grants.
14. The candidates who have issues that are more conservative than Romney, would never get those issues through congress.
1. Representative Bachmann may, unlike some of the others, wish to abolish the EPA, but no conceivable Congress within the next eight years will grant her wish.
15. Romney is a cautious conservative, which is good enough. 
1. Immature conservatives (who don't have a real life) want to see their representatives going down in a noble blaze of glory, fighting for their causes in a noble war. 
2. Grown up conservatives want to live their own life and don't live vicariously through the fights that their elected officials have. They just want government to do the right thing, and leave them alone. 
3. Romney will prioritize his battles, and do the most important things first, that will save our country from financial collapse, while Newt Gingrich would re-arrange chairs on the Titanic while he teaches a history class from the white house, and tries to fire janitors and get kids to do janitorial work. (Actual proposals from Newt. No I'm not making this up).
4. In politics, it is often better not to try than to fail, and so politicians should gauge their chance for success before they attempt somethings.
1. Failure gives the media an your opponent the opportunity to embarrassed you, and make you look like you suck.
2. We all begin a battle with confidence that we are going to win. It can feel good to nominate a candidate who says they want to do something like eliminate 3 federal agencies. However it can sometimes be better to elect a politician who determines what is likely to happen first. Sure, maybe if you elect a supper communicator he will convince a percentage of people to change their minds, but you want to at least consider what the likelihood is of success. 
3. Christians should support politicians who are practical, and calculate their chances of success before going off to war. 
1. Luke 14:27-33, Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me, cannot be my disciple. 28 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it? 29 Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, saying, `This man began to build, and was not able to finish.' 31 Or what king, going to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? 32 And if not, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an embassy and asks terms of peace. 
5. There is a limit to how much political risk conservatives should want a president allied to them to take. 
1. Most of the time conservative activists should be trying to reduce the risks of advancing conservative initiatives rather than to goad elected officials to political recklessness.
2. Conservatives should point the way for ambitious politicians to advance good ideas that can command the support of a national center-right majority. 
16. Conservatives shouldn't focus on symbolism over substance.  
1. Conservatives shouldn't support people just because they show anger towards the media.
2. Conservatives shouldn't support candidates just because they are mad at liberals. 
17. They want a president who shares their convictions and instincts, who will actively seek occasions to advance their views, and who will take political risks for them. They are right to want these things, for the most part, and there is no guarantee Romney will deliver them.  
18. It is good to be a cautious conservative.
1. Conservative beliefs are not valid, unless than can successfully be proven with facts and sound logic to be valid.  
19. Voters are often immature.
1. Voters often care more about looks and height. 
2. Voters often vote for people based on how cool they are, if they are likable, and can see having a beer with them.
3. Voters often support candidates who are mad, or angry, just because they are angry. 
20. Conservatives are immature to want more than someone who agrees with them on the issues. 
21. A Romney presidency would be better for the republican party and for our nation than the other candidates.
1. Rick Perry is unfamiliarity with national issues 
2. Newt Gingrich has terrible ideas, and would not focus on the important problems
1. Romney is focused like a laser beam on jobs and the economy.
2. Newt said he wants to teach a course from the oval office.
3. Newt says he wants to lay of Janitors in the schools, and have the kids do janitorial work.
4. His recent proposals on immigration are classic Gingrich: innovative-sounding, accompanied by high-tech gadgetry, and wholly absurd.
1. Local community boards will decide which illegal immigrants to expel!
2. We will be “humane,” while denying temporary workers the vote and stripping their children of citizenship! 
3. People who remember the last time Newt was in public office, will recall that they got sick and tired of him.
1. The last time Gingrich held office, he reached a depth of unpopularity that suggested that the public did not merely disagree with his policies but disliked him as a person.
2. Memories have faded, and his current fans say he is a changed man. But he still has the rhetorical style — by turns incendiary, grandiose, and abrasive — that turned off middle-of-the-road Americans then
1. November 16: “Because I am much like Reagan and Margaret Thatcher . . . ”
3. And he does not seem to have learned that aspiring presidents should weigh their words carefully.
1. Recall the events that led to his campaign’s meltdown this summer, in which he first praised Paul Ryan’s plan for entitlements, then condemned it as “right-wing social engineering,” and finally apologized to Ryan for the comment. 
4. Gingrich’s marital history will won’t help him in the general election
1. The contrast to President Obama’s family will tell against him.
1. Gingrich would make fewer independents want to become republicans. He would be a giant symbol for republican hypocrisy. That is the image that democrats want to paint republicans with and Newt would give them a wonderful gift that would keep on giving. Newt is the extreme hypocrite who went after Clinton for his affair at the same time he was having one. 
2. For independents Obama has stayed married to one wife. He seems like a great dad.
3. Gingrich has put his kids through all sorts of stuff. The disintegration of the family causes most of our social problems.  
4. Sure, we should forgive people. But should we elect them as president, and hold them as a role model? Should we reward that behavior?
5. He would be the first president with multiple ex-wives.
6. He would be the first president with any ex-wives who speak negatively about him.
7. Republicans would look like total hypocrits.  on the record. He would bring with him the first first lady who could be labeled a “home wrecker.” President Obama would not have to say a word about any of this for the press to make it an issue. 
22. We need to appeal to moderates
1. Yet George W. Bush won two elections, albeit close ones, with positions to Romney’s left and rhetoric that attempted to distance him from the bulk of conservatives. (He was the compassionate one, you may recall.) The truth is that Republicans have never lost a presidential election because an otherwise viable nominee could not get conservatives to vote. The exit polls from the 2008 election show that the race was lost in the center of the electorate. If Romney is anywhere near Obama in the polls in October 2012, conservative voters will show up to help him. To win, though, he will also need some votes from people who voted for Obama in 2008 — and he has a much better chance of getting them than his rivals do.  So far the Republican primaries have been a testament to the common sense of the party rank-and-file. As candidates and near-candidates have enjoyed their bursts of publicity, Republican voters have greeted them one by one with an open mind and high hopes, only to reject them as their flaws became apparent. Sarah Palin, Donald Trump, Bachmann, Perry, and Cain have all gone through this process. In reacting this way, Republican voters have disproven the caricatures that liberals and too many conservatives have indulged: that they care only about attitude and volume, not knowledge or judgment.
