I could not agree more with the above posts about Romney's new-found "economic optimism."

Romney made his millions as a venture capitalist and leveraged buyout/turnaround specialist. Some of those millions came from creating jobs in America like financing the creation of Staples office stores. Some of those millions came from shipping thousands of jobs overseas and feasting on the corpses of American companies like AmPad, KB Toys and Babbages.

Now, when the chips were down in the Michigan primary, Romney makes promises to the domestic auto industry that would make John Edwards blush. Billions to prop up a crippled industry that hasn't learned to be competitive despite being in decline for 30 years.

There is no universe in which the fiscal conservative capitalist who made millions with Bain Capital would endorse such invasive government control and coddling of American industry if he wasn't desperate for votes.

So, he'll flop on abortion, gay marriage and taxes to get the votes of gullible social conservatives, and then flop on his fiscal conservative values and better business sense to bribe votes from the working class.

And when he gets into office and is facing withering political fire from a hostile Democratic Congress and a public that demands real solutions to the problems we face, what else will Mitt flop and fold on?

I think the clear choice for Republicans is John McCain.

He is the only candidate capable of being commander in chief on day one.

A man who has displayed tremendous personal and political bravery across 25 years of political service and 22 years of national service in the armed forces. A man who has lived American foreign policy, first as a naval aviator and then as a prisoner of war. Sen. McCain speaks from personal experience about subjects like torture and deploying our young men and women overseas.

Sen. McCain is the only candidate who has consistently shown in poll after poll the best chance of beating the Democratic nominee, no matter who it is. This “electability” and his popularity with Republicans, Democrats and independents stems from his record of forging bipartisan links and moving complex and controversial legislation through Congress, instead of standing on the sidelines scoring political points.

Our next president must have the ability to reach out across the aisle and fashion innovative answers for America. And yet, we can’t afford someone who will abandon his principles in the face of political pressure or expedience. Despite his widely-held reputation for bipartisanship, Sen. McCain was an important ally to President Reagan, and Presidents George H. W. and George W. Bush in advancing their conservative agendas.

And, Sen. McCain is not afraid to tell the truth. With the significant issues facing the country, we need a commander-in-chief who won't shift with the sands and or be blown over by the winds of public opinion and tell us only what we want to hear.

No, the choice is clear. The GOP needs John McCain to win in November. America needs John McCain to lead us to victory and prosperity. Nevada should choose John McCain in Saturday's caucus.

With Mitt Romney's obvious devotion to his family, I bet he would be a great guy to have as a neighbor. But as a political candidate he has been a disaster.

Look at his economic "policy."

Less than three years ago Mitt Romney was a pro-choice, pro-gay marriage, tax raising (excuse me, he didn't raise "taxes"...he merely "increased fees" and "closed loopholes" to the tune of $400 million annually from struggling businesses) Massachusetts moderate.

So, he'll flop on abortion, gay marriage and taxes to get the votes of gullible social conservatives and then flop on his fiscal conservative values and better business sense to bribe votes from the working class.

And all this on domestic and financial affairs with which he has some experience. God help us when he has to tackle foreign affairs in which he has NO experience.
