But I'm definitely not pro-Romney either because of his dumbass stance on social issues and religious insanity.
I do however totally disagree with you on Romney's fiscal abilities. I do believe that his "bullet points" as you say it are his plan.
And I challenge you to show me that Obama had any kind of plan when he was elected in 2008 (or even now...lol)
He didn't.
He ran on "Hope & Change" , "Washington is broken & I'll fix it" , and "Yes, We Can!"
Nothing else.

An idea is saying "We need to lower the deficit". A plan is how you are going to make that happen. Anyone can say "I am going to lower the deficit" but that is a statement - I want to know how it's going to be done. And making a general statement saying "I am gong to lower the deficit by reducing the people dependent on government handouts" is not a plan, it's still an idea. I want numbers, facts, figures, and a plan. My 12 year old kid can stand up and say "I am going to reduce the deficit" but that's not a plan.
I asked for a plan, was pointed to his website, and all I got was eight pages of crap and four bullet points. That is not a plan. It's bullet points.
And btw, yes, Obama said he was going to reduce the deficit. Easy to say, difficult to do - and nearly impossible during this kind of economic period.
The main reason I am against Romney is his track record. He is blasting Obama's simulus package because it had a 8% failure rate, while Romney had a 22% failure rate at Bain Captial. Romney's entire business experience is taking other people's investment money to buy companies and then having them borrow yet more money to expand while charging massive "management fees" and praying the company will make a profit.
Then we the fact that Romney is a business man and not in government - two totally different beasts. Romney was governor and did horrible. He left office with a 34% approval rating - who in the world thinks that leaving office as a disgrace with a 34% approval rating is a good presidential candidate? He moved his state to nearly last place in job creation. He claims he reduced the deficit while reducing taxes - He did reduce the deficit, but he didn't really lower taxes... He lowered taxes, but just raised the cost of everything else. It's like saying "I'm going to lower your income taxes" while adding five cents to each gallon for a new gas tax and doubling the cost to register your car for a year. Masschussettes has some of the best schools in the nation, but that wasn't something Romney did - That was a process was started long before Romney even considered running for governor. I see nothing but bad coming out of Romney.
The funny thing is I am not a huge fan of Obama and surely not a Democrat. I've already voted, I surely will not influence anyone's vote here on GFY, and I'm very confident Obama has already won. I'm just here because I like to debate.
