Why I Doubt I Will Vote for Romney

The problem with what Romney is saying is that the government has the authority to decide, without review, who is a "traitor" and who is not. Basically Romney says, "Trust me." While I do think it unlikely that non-Moslems will be charged, so "we" are safe, there is absolutely nothing in the bill to restrict it to anyone. If the government decides you are a terrorist, you are a terrorist. 

I also find it amusing that Romney is reading out of a Democratic play book on the issue of defense spending. Obama is actually not proposing to cut defense. He is proposing to cut the rate of increase in defense spending. When Democrats called reductions in the rate of increase of social spending as "cuts," the Republicans complained it was unfair. Now, suddenly, it is fair. 

My big hope is that Romney is as big a liar as he appears to be and the rhetoric of the campaign will be ignored if he is elected. It is better to raise taxes a little bit, and cut spending a lot, than it is to do nothing. When the crisis hits the government will either print money or make draconian cuts everywhere. I do not understand why everyone can not see this. Probably their "template," their world view, will not let them.
