Mitt Romney is the second coming of Ronald Reagan.  Mitt Romney can make a positive impact on this country that will effect many generations to come.  He is what is necessary to return the GOP to Ronald Reagan conservatism.

Mitt Romney is an excellent communicator.  As demonstrated by the first debate, Mitt Romney is a superb communicator.  The rest of his competition does not even come close to his level.  Seeing is believing with Mitt Romney.  He has a presence that I have not seen in the Republican Party since Ronald Reagan.  This ability to communicate will most certainly help him advance the conservative movement.

Mitt Romney is a conservative governor from a blue state.  One could argue that Massachusetts is the most liberal state in the country.  Mitt Romney managed to lower taxes and spur economic growth despite a liberal congress.  Ronald Reagan experienced these same challenges.  It really takes a leader to be able to advance a conservative agenda in a liberal environment.  For this reason, I feel Mitt Romney could reinvigorate the conservative movement in this country.

Mitt Romney and Ronald Reagan are full of optimism.  One of the biggest problems in our country right now is the inherent negativity in all mediums.  The following is an excerpt from the fist GOP debate of this election cycle:

Moderator: Governor Romney, Daniel Duchovnik (ph) from Walnut Creek, California, wants to know: What do you dislike most about America?

Romney: Gosh. I love America. I'm afraid I'm going to be at a loss for words because America for me is not just our rolling mountains and hills and streams and great cities. It's the American people.

And the American people are the greatest people in the world. What makes America the greatest nation in the world is the heart of the American people: hardworking, innovative, risk-taking, God- loving, family-oriented American people.

It's that optimism we thank Ronald Reagan for. Thank you, Mrs. Reagan, for opening up this place in his memory for us. It is that optimism about this great people that makes this the greatest nation on earth.

Mitt Romney will be able to do as Reagan did and bring back patriotism into our country.  We live in the best country in the world.  There is no reason to let it become anything less than that.

Mitt Romney and Ronald Reagan alike understand that government is NOT the solution, IT IS THE PROBLEM.  He has a strong record of strong economic conservative principles.  The following are excerpts from Mitt Romney’s exploratory committee’s page:

Balanced Budgets. Without raising taxes or increasing debt, Governor Romney closed a $3 billion budget deficit his first year in office with a heavily Democrat legislature. Each year, Governor Romney filed a balanced budget without raising taxes. By eliminating waste, streamlining government, and enacting comprehensive economic reforms to help spur growth, Governor Romney helped the state achieve a surplus totaling nearly $1 billion in 2005.

Lower Taxes. In the bluest of blue states, Governor Romney kept taxes down. Under his leadership, the state abolished a retroactive capital gains tax that would have forced nearly 50,000 taxpayers to pay additional taxes and fees. 

The Federal government must stop its borrowing and spending binge. The debt is a burden on our economy, our currency, our foreign policy, and our future. This is beyond pork barrel spending. We must address entitlement programs - not just to save money - but to give Americans confidence in their future.

Governor Romney: "Every legislator and politician knows this spending can't be justified, so why do they do it ? Because it gets politicians praised -- and re-elected. There's no courage involved in spending more money. Drawing a line on spending is hard and fraught with criticism. When I vetoed $458 million of excessive spending in the budget this spring, I knew that community newspapers across the Commonwealth would decry my elimination of local pet projects. And, I knew that the Legislature would over ride most of my vetoes. In fact, they over rode all of them, to a chorus of community acclaim. But someone has to say no."
^{(Boston Globe, September 12, 2006)}

Governor Romney: "I don't want to add entitlements. I want to find ways to reform our entitlement programs."
^{(Boston Globe, January 27, 2006)}

America's tax code is a labyrinth that imposes an enormous and unnecessary burden on our citizens and employers. Keeping taxes low and simplifying the code will grow the economy and enhance our competitiveness.

Governor Romney: "I said no to a tax hike; raising taxes hurts working people and scares away jobs. I also said no to more borrowing; borrowing just shifts our problems to the backs of our kids . . . Instead, I went after waste, inefficiency, duplication, and patronage."
^{(Boston Globe, October 24, 2005)}

Governor Romney: "It is fundamentally unfair to tax people retroactively. If we are to keep faith with the taxpayers of Massachusetts, we need to correct the constitutional error that occurred here."
^{(Governor Mitt Romney Press Release, 2005)}

Mitt Romney handles this difficult pointed question very well and points out his dedication and understanding about the separation of church and state:

Moderator: Governor Romney, what do you say to Roman Catholic bishops who would deny Communion to elected officials who support abortion rights?

Romney: I don't say anything to Roman Catholic bishops. They can do whatever the heck they want.

(Laughter)

Romney: Roman Catholic bishops are in a private institution, a religion. And they can do whatever they want in a religion. America doesn't...

Moderator: Do you see that as interference in public life?

Romney: Well, I can't imagine a government telling a church who can have Communion in their church. We have a separation of church and state. It's served us well in this country.

This is a nation, after all, that wants a leader that's a person of faith, but we don't choose our leader based on which church they go to.

This is a nation which also comes together -- we unite over faith and over the right of people to worship as they choose.

The people we're fighting, they're the ones who divide over faith and decide matters of this nature in the public forum.

This is a place where we celebrate different religions and different faiths.
