Romney's change (flip-flops) on critical social issues, including his claim to be an independent and denouncement of Reagan, when running for office in MA, turned me against him. His manner seems arrogant, and his message tailored for the setting at the time, and he doesn't "get" the plight of the average man in America. When he talked about how great the economy was in the fall, most of us were wondering how we would make ends meet. When he mentioned it was a good time to pick up cheap stocks, I cannot imagine he knew how many Americans were jobless, on the verge of losing their homes, or unable to buy sufficient groceries or fuel for their cars. I guess that kind of attitude stems from his position and wealth. Romney has chopped up more "mom and pop" shops and small businesses and sent the jobs overseas than we will ever know. He is pro-China despite their ridiculous trade advantage created by government subsidies and human rights violations. Our national security would further erode, and thousands more jobs would go to the Communists Reds if he had the power to influence policy. I'm sure he is a nice man, but he does not have the foggest notion about how to relate to the majority of the country. I could not vote for a McCain/Romney ticket.
