Mitt Romney, presidential hopeful, called out his opponent John McCain concerning his opposition to two of President Bush’s tax cuts. Romney claims that McCain has a "got-it-alone" attitude that will divide Washington if elected into office.
With his beautiful smile, Romney commented “Anyone who’s run something, whether it’s a small business or a big business, knows that the No. 1 ingredient for success is building a remarkable team of people around you, motivating them, guiding them, insisting on them drawing out their best capacities. I’ve had occasions to run business, to run the Olympics and to run a state, and you don’t do that by yourself He voted against the Bush tax cuts — twice,” Romney said. “That’s failing Reagan 101. (Ronald) Reagan taught … almost all of us in the Republican Party that lowering taxes would grow the economy and was good for our economy and good for individuals. And I believe that the Republicans are going to nominate a tax-cutter to become president of the United States.”
Personally, I feel that this dispute will bring up Romney’s views on taxes in a negative light, since he had raised Massachusetts taxes by over $700 million. I think that this shows McCain will change his stances based on circumstance, rather than just stay with republican ideals to keep the party happy. McCain shows great potential as a president, but unfortunately does not seem to have the numbers to make it to the top.
But overall, this is why I have chosen to support McCain. but Romney might convince me if he took off his shirt...
