Why not Mitt?

So, I've been studying the records and standing of our illustrious Republican candidates for President. Yet, what I found most disturbing is the flocking of people to what are potential disasters as President. Please keep in mind that it's not my intent to sway you toward any one candidate. Rather, I wish to give you things to consider as you make your choice on who gets your vote.

Today, I ask why you may want to reconsider a vote for Willard "Mitt" Romney. It's simple really, on two counts. First, Mr. Romney is a politician! I don't mean that he's been a Governor, he's a politician in every sense of the word. A simple Google search of the word provides the following: A person who acts in a manipulative and devious way, typically to gain advancement. Naturally, the most accepted definition is actually someone professionally involved in politics. (Click here for reference). Like most candidates, Romney has manipulated the wording and appearance of his decisions as Governor of Massachusetts. He quickly and easily rationalizes his flip-flopping record on various issues. So the problem here is that if you are one of the many Americans screaming that politicians are through, that they should be ousted from Congress or the Oval Office and replaced with real Americans providing us with real representation, then Romney is not your man.

Second, but closely related, Romney claims he's conservative, but then moderate, but then back again; oh wait, moderate. What? Indecisive for one; lukewarm for the other. I would rather the man come out and state he's a solid left-wing liberal, than claim himself a moderate anything. Why? Because lukewarm sucks! You never really know where a lukewarm person stands. Everything about being moderate screams HELL NO to me. In the definition of that word you find things like "average" and "less" (as in the lower end of any given spectrum). To be fair, some synonyms (but not words in the definition) are sober, temperate, and reasonable. Not necessarily bad adjectives, but you have to consider the man's record along with the word. He doesn't fit those last three.

I ask you, do you want another politician representing your interests from the Oval Office? Do you really want a lukewarm, uh, whatever he is in that big chair? I don't. I want a President with some guts and gusto, who will stand boldly for this country and defend us, not apologize for us (Mr. Obama)! Pick a side of the left-right spectrum and stick to it! That said, I'll caveat with this closing, I don't want and extreme nut in office either.

What say you America?
