In the past Romney has also taken sensible positions on immigration, illegal guns, abortion rights and health care.
But he has reversed course on all of them, and is even running against the health care
model he signed into law in Massachusetts.
If the 1994 or 2003 version of Mitt Romney were running for president, I may well have voted for him
because, like so many other independents, I have found the past four years to be, in a word, disappointing.

我之所以转贴这个,是觉得美国总统不可以是个变色龙,奥巴马干得并不好,但两个里比,还是奥巴马相对还好些
是啊,天不助罗马尼,来了个珊蒂,不过他嘲笑奥巴马时说的下边的话,真可谓搬起石头砸了自己的脚,因为珊蒂就跟 the rise of the oceans很有关系的,
这个是有关民生的一个很重要的问题:
罗马尼的话(在下边的两个links里):
“President Obama promised to begin to slow the rise of the oceans.” (pause for laughter) “And to heal the planet.”
(pause for more laughter at that stupid planet) “My promise is to help you and your family.”
“And if you and your family are hit by a hurricane,” that joke might be continued today,”my promise is to gut FEMA.” (standing ovation amid rain of tri-corner hats)

So I guess you support a proved liar and loser like Obama to run another term?
Why I call him a liar and loser - there is plenty of data and information already all over the web.
对。赞成。罗姆尼在我们州做州长没有拿薪水的是事实。我当时问了周围的人。他们说他这么做可以免交不少税,免交的这部分数额比他州长的工资高多了。他们说这样的算数人家早做了。罗姆尼在我们州并不得人心。他根本赢不了我们州的。关键是他既是一个变色龙更是个伪君子。今天这么说,明天那么说,到底他哪一句话可以相信?
商人治国,笑话。
Obama: Longest period of unemployment over 8% since the Great Depression
Obama: Added more to the national debt than ANY president in history and did it in less than 4 years
Obama: Most number of people in poverty in the history of the United States
Obama: Has signed more executive orders than any president in U.S. history in his 1st term, He as signed 200 plus more than 2nd place.
Obama: Gas prices doubled
Obama: Cost of living sky-rocketed
Obama: U.S. debt was downgraded from AAA status for the first time ever
Obama: Federal spending as a percentage of GDP (25 percent) is the highest that it has been since World War II.
Obama: Most people on food stamps in U.S. history
Obama: Real median household income has decreased by more than 4000 dollars since Barack Obama entered the White House.
Obama: The number of long-term unemployed Americans has risen from 2.7 million to 5.2 million since Dumbo took office.
Obama: United States has lost more than 300,000 education jobs.
Obama: Velocity of money (a very important indicator of economic health) has plunged to a post-World War II low.
Romney has been a weathervane that turns around with wind from any direction. He doesn't seem to have any principles.
His stance has changed from pro-choice to anti-choice, from pro-gay to anti-gay, claiming to cut FEMA to not cut FEMA, ... you name it. You can hardly tell what next he wants to do. Just forget about him.
很多媒体带着偏见报道,误导了民众。实际情况是,奥巴马当政四年,每年的军费预算都创造历史新高,比小布什2008年的军费高50%。
别忘了,是民主党总统杜鲁门开始了朝鲜战争,而共和党总统艾森豪威尔结束的朝鲜战争。
别忘了,是民主党总统肯尼迪和约翰逊开始了越南战争,并扩大了到东南亚,而共和党总统尼克松和福特结束了越南战争。
民主党总统克林顿参与了肢解南斯拉夫的战争,还有科索沃战争。
小布什开始的第二次伊拉克战争确实是一个不可宽恕的错误,毫无疑问。但是并不能说明所有共和党总统好战。
事实证明,民主党总统更加好战,在历史上开启了更多的战争。
奥巴马上台后,立即扩大了阿富汗战争,每年都增加军费。从小布什在2008年的480多billion,增加到2012年的736 billion。奥巴马也是一个好战分子,而且是大手大脚乱花钱的政客!
他的经历表明,他是一个成功者:
成功的投资者,令许多企业转亏为盈,从小企业成长为大企业。一个例证就是Stamples,20多年前,它只是麻省的一个小商店,20年后成为全球著名的连锁商店,有2000家商店。
成功的管理者,一个例子就是2004年盐湖城冬奥会。本来盐湖城冬奥会管理失策,已经到了无法承办的地步。罗姆尼在2002年接手组委会,迅速扭转局面,成功举办了2004年冬奥会。而且他是完全作为“志愿者”为冬奥会服务的,没有任何报酬!唯一的遗憾是,众望所归的关颖珊在女子花样滑冰比赛中,尽管没有任何失误,还是不敌超水平发挥的利平斯基(昙花一现,冬奥会后消失了),没有得到金牌。
成功的政府首脑,他在成功“拯救”了盐湖城冬奥会后,当选麻省州长,任期四年,还是没有报酬的“志愿者”。但是他留下的是一连串耀眼的政绩:与民主党控制的州议会合作,通过了医疗保险法案;减少了15亿美元的预算赤字,达到收支平衡(奥巴马当政四年,政府的债务上涨了60%,预算赤字达到三分之一);他任内的州政府,女性管理层雇员的比例是全美50个州政府最高的。
罗姆尼在麻省通过的医保,经过两党充分协商,得到州议会和民众的多数支持。而奥巴马的医保未经充分协商认证,仅凭民主党当时在国会的多数席位,强行通过,造成多数民众反对。随后的国会大选,民主党遭受惨败,就是被奥巴马强行通过医保法案所拖累!
罗姆尼可以坐下来,召集民主党与共和党议员共同协商,通过受到多数民众支持的法案。但是奥巴马就做不到这一点。他当政的四年,无法进行两党沟通协商,单打独斗,增加了族裔对立。这就是两个人的差别。
这些都是有据可查的,公开的资料。大家可以去维基查看,或者Google。

这个纽约市长我很了解。要说“变色龙”,非他莫属!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Bloomberg
他本来是民主党人,但是纽约的民主党组织被非洲裔和西语裔把持,他没有办法出头。前任市长朱利安尼连任两届市长,按照规定不能再竞选市长。他看到共和党没有强有力的候选人,2001年“投机取巧”改成共和党人参选,顺利当选为市长(从2002年一月一日起)。
依靠共和党的帮助,2006年连任市长后,他贪恋权力,为了连任第三个任期,在2007年退出共和党,拉拢市议会占多数的民主党人,修改章程,允许市长连任三届(以前只允许连任两届)。
他投机钻营,为了当市长而放弃民主党籍,加入共和党;而后为了贪恋市长权位,退出共和党,为了一己私利而改变市长只允许连任两届的规定。这样一个墙头草,一个投机分子,他为了私利,什么事情都会做。
再说一件事:他还是小布什的支持者!2004年他强力支持小布什。他还曾探讨与另一个布什合作竞选总统(http://blogs.browardpalmbeach.com/pulp/2010/06/a_jeb_bush_-_michael_bloomberg.php)。
这一次,他还是一副“变色龙”的样子:他自己承认,过去的四年令人失望:“... like so many other independents, I have found the past four years to be, in a word, disappointing....” 但是,他却宣布支持奥巴马连任。为什么?因为他想着继续连任市长,需要占优势的纽约民主党议员们的支持。
是的,过去的四年令人失望,是改变的时候了:Yes, We Need a Change.
有人说一个是笨蛋,一个是坏蛋,那俺和亲友们只好选笨蛋啦:)
其实是认真考量过,与LZ同感,相比之下还是奥巴马好些
觉得选举结果可能非常接近,也许到时还要重新数票,或进入法律程序
希望早日尘埃落定,大家不用争了,争来争去,有些人变得不像了
说得太好了。补充一点,过去三十年美国的财富不断向巨富转移,中产缩水,穷人增多,再这样下去早晚变成第三世界。前几天有一个独立的分析机构说Romney的减税最终会是给富人减税,中产增税。共和党的穷兵黩武,一个重要原因也是为了围堵中国,永远称霸世界。 以Romney的邪招,大幅减税,狂增军费,最后撑不住了,很可能挑起跟中国的战争,又转移国内矛盾,又可以赖账不还,白拿中国人的血汗钱,又让大财团,军火商都高兴。别以为这是危言耸听,共和党大佬为保护他们的利益,随时准备发动战争。早在97 年他们就怂恿Clinton打伊拉克。现在对他们利益最大的威胁是中国。对我们华人来说,中美和平共处是至关重要的,否则我们的儿子有一天可能死在中国的炮火之下,或者我们的亲友死在我们孩子的战机之下,那将是多么悲惨。
The White House and State Department watched them die from the situation room in the White House. Obama had Marines one hour away. He had two aircraft bases within an hour of Benghazi. There were C-130 Gun Ships ready to go. BUT OBAMA DID NOTHING.
TECHNICALLY it was an act of war perpetrated by terrorists on AMERICAN soil.
Like Ms. Clinton said four years ago ,when the phone rings at 3 am Obama won't have a clue.
Bush was in office for less that nine months. Untill the Warren commission on the 9/11 attack the intelligence gathering communities were not "allowed" to share information.
Obama has been in office for over 3 years. Obama has supported the Muslim Spring and helped to depose 2 leaders with NO inclination as to who would replace those leaders.
The present administration paied no attention to Amb. Stevens' requests for added security.
右右们哭去吧。这是你们最后的一搏了。你们没戏了。美国人民用选票抛弃了你们。
这一次选举将为我们的子孙后代带来了一片晴朗的天空。美国未来的走向更加美好。
1)永别了,战争狂人小布什的8年,给人们带来的惨痛记忆。愿美国从此不再是一个崇尚暴力、穷兵黩武的国度。战争给交战的双方带来了沉重伤亡,掏空了美国的国库,掏空了美国的中产阶级;
2)愿意美国更加注重科学研究,改善环境、改善普通老百姓(中产)的生活,而不是造更多的炮舰,去养肥那些军火商和石油商;
3)愿意美国加强金融监管,清除金融系统的蛀虫和寄生虫。
4)愿意美国与世界各国为友,世界需要和平,世界需要合作,而不是到处炫耀世界警察的dictatorship。
在此让我们想到:2008年9月9日 联邦德国总理维利·勃兰特来到华沙犹太人死难者纪念碑下。他向纪念碑献上花圈后,肃穆垂首,突然双腿下跪,并发出祈祷:“上帝饶恕我们吧,愿苦难的灵魂得到安宁。”德国总理的这一跪,惊天地、泣鬼神,德国总理跪下去了,德国人站起来了。
奥巴马总统任职初期的中东之行为他的前任所犯的错误向穆斯林国家道歉,这也是开了一个好头,美国人在全世界从此不象前面那8年遭人讨厌,奥巴马总统这一举动却在第三次辩论中饱受罗姆尼的攻击。一个不知道悔改的民族将如日本。
支持罗姆尼的同胞该醒醒了。有人说:“罗姆尼是个精明的商人,我们看好他能将美国的经济搞好。”我也劝你别期望太高。如果说富(官)N代的罗姆尼有经营才能,投资什么都赚钱。那我宁愿相信校友美國西北大学凯洛管理學院工商管理碩士温云松更有商业才华。他们的生意成功对于作屌丝的你我无任何意义,因为他们的成功屌丝们不可复制。
有人说:“罗姆尼反对同性恋、反对堕胎。”我告诉你,他出尔反尔,前后不一,撒谎成性,比如说他开始说反对堕胎,而最新的竞选广告又说他支持有条件堕胎,在堕胎上的态度,他和奥巴马没有本质区别。他可以公开撒谎说俄亥俄的JEEP要裁减工人,将工厂搬去中国,而事实是在中国的日产车子萎缩带来了对美产汽车大量需求而使得GM等汽车厂在中国扩大规模。为了总统宝座,他可以不顾一切、出卖一切。
另外,失望4年后的极右翼从罗姆尼身上看到了布什的影子,开始如打了鸡血一样为他拉票,无非是为了他们所垄断的石油资源和军火(杀人)工业。
那么如果在屠杀和同性恋之间选择,真正的基督徒不会选择屠杀。因为“神爱世人”而不是“神只爱美国人”。
上帝保佑美国!

再说一件事:他还是小布什的支持者!2004年他强力支持小布什。
“Four years ago, the Daily News endorsed Obama, seeing a historic figure whose intelligence, political skills and empathy with common folk positioned him to build on the small practical experience he would bring to the world’s toughest job,” the endorsement in part states. “We valued Obama’s pledge to govern with bold pragmatism and bipartisanship. The hopes of those days went unfulfilled.”
The endorsement also ticks off a list of reasons for why the daily tabloid is backing Romney in 2012 – including smaller paychecks, fewer jobs and higher subway fares and gasoline prices.
“America's heart, soul, brains and muscle -- the middle- and working-class people who make this nation great -- have been beset for too long by sapping economic decline,” the editorial continues. “So, too, (have) New York breadwinners and families.”
Beyond the rhetoric, the paper backs up its decision with a salvo of numbers after the 2008 financial crisis – including a 7.9 percent national jobless rate and nine million fewer jobs.
The 11 papers, according the study, that also switched to Romney are:
The New York Daily News
Long Island Newsday
Houston Chronicle
Fort Worth Star-Telegram
Orlando Sentinel
Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel
Nashville Tennessean
Des Moines Register
Illinois Daily Herald
Los Angeles Daily News
Los Angeles Press-Telegram
Only one newspaper, The San Antonio Express-News, which endorsed the Republican presidential nominee in 2008, Arizona Sen. John McCain, has switched to endorsing Obama.
Ohio: Romney 49% Obama 49%
Wisconsin: Romney 49% Obama 49%
Iowa: Romney 49% Obama 48%
Florida: Romney 50% Obama 48%
Colorado: Romney 50% Obama 47%
Virginia: Romney 50% Obama 47%
New Hampshire: Romney 50% Obama 48%
Nevada: Romney 48% Obama 50%
Romney说什么他自己也不知道了。一天一个样。最近讲love了,乖乖龙的东,韭菜炒大葱。他除了爱他的魔们教堂,懂什么爱。在家吃饭一定要抢着第一吃(要排在孙辈前),
Romney is a total jerk, even to his own family. See this video:
http://youtube/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=wQd7ywLcmUU
CHRIS WALLACE: So, Tagg, what are family meals like?
TAGG ROMNEY: A little bit of craziness. Dad always goes in line first
because he doesn't want to wait for all the grand children because it
takes forever. Parents are cutting their meat and he's usually
finished by the time the rest of us sit down.
还在家庭赛跑时存心拌倒他刚生了孩子的儿媳妇--(他儿子暴露的请况)

so you supoort Obama because Bloomberg support him? Who the heck cares about Bloomberg? Be a thinker, not a follower!
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie defended his praise for President Barack Obama's support after superstorm Sandy, but said he would stick with his Republican ticket and vote for Mitt Romney in this Tuesday's election.

Obama's achievements....
Jobs: Unemployment 8+% for 43 months (Blacks: 19% (in Chicago), Hispanics: 10%) And, no starting at 7.2% and being at 7.8% for a month three years later is not an “achievement”.
Inflation: Gas $4/gallon, college tuition up 25%, grocery prices UP 20$, household income DOWN $11,900
Obamacare: New TAXES on middle class (someone has to pay for the ILLEGALS). Obamacare: $716 BILLION stolen from Medicare to fund Obamacare
Debt/Spending: $16 TRILLION, credit rating downgraded TWICE, Fed now PRINTING $40 Billion / Month
Jobs/Energy: $6 BILLION given to FOREIGN OIL COMPANIES in Mexico, Colombia and Brazil, while blocking US jobs in Gulf and Keystone pipeline. (Cost 220,000 American Jobs paying $50,000)
Jobs/"Green" Agenda: $994 MILLION given to Bankrupt FOREIGN Car companies (e.g. TESLA), $537 M wasted on Bankrupt Solyndra, US Coal Plants CLOSED, Obama: "Under my plan electricity prices will necessarily SKYROCKET". (Cost 30,000 American Jobs paying $50,000)
Foreign Policy: More DEAD in Afghanistan in 3 yrs under Obama than 8 yrs under Bush (wonder why the Lib media never mentions this?)
Foreign Policy: Ambassador DEAD in Libya, Embassies under attack, yet still giving BILLIONS to Libya, Egypt, Pakistan, etc.
$1 Million Nobel Peace Prize: Attacked Libya, troops in Uganda, Iraq, Pakistan, etc. GITMO still Open, Personal “Kill List” for Drone Attacks.
Education: Chicago teachers score LOWER than students on ACT test in Obama's home state of Illinois. The $90 Billion Obama has wasted on BANKRUPT Green Technology companies run by his campaign contributors, could have been used to create 2,000,000 teaching jobs.
