He is not a reliable partner for the electorate. He doesn't respect those dead and certainly no respect for the future of this country. How can he simply ignore the violence that took the lives of two of our military and state they can be killed in public on leisure time, but, need armor while in the field. Never, in the history of this country was the opposite dynamic a need to be respected of our military. Never before were they dead for not wearing their armor in the civilian world. What does that say about gun rights as opposed to human rights?
Our military go to war to protect the country and their loved ones. What occurred in Aurora took away the promise of their service of at least two of our soldiers. Romney finds nothing but disrespect for that outrageous understanding of violence within our borders. Our soldiers live and die with the civilians within the country's borders while they served so it would never happen.

...In the wake of the Colorado movie theater shooting last Friday,(click title to entry - thank you) some politicians and advocates have renewed the call for the candidates to define where they stand on gun control. As Romney's speech to the NRA this year indicates, the Republican presidential candidate has hardened his position on gun rights since taking the national stage.
The flip-flop was prominent fodder for Romney's Republican opponents in both the 2008 and 2012 presidential primaries. Opposition research for Sen. John McCain's 2008 campaign, obtained by BuzzFeed, cites Romney's 1994 run for a U.S. Senate seat in Massachusetts against Sen. Ted Kennedy, during which Romney took a stance that put him at odds with the NRA — and insisted that he didn't care....
Romney is blindly ambitious for his own reasons. He doesn't care about the country or the people in this country. That was demonstrated even further with a so called misunderstanding with the Australian Prime Minister. I guess Romney doesn't speak as good Australian as he does French.

''I met today with the Foreign Minister of Australia. (click here). He said something, and I said 'Can I quote you?' and he said yes. He said, 'America is just one budget deal away from ending all talk of America being in decline','' the Politico website reported Mr Romney said.
''And this idea of America in decline, it was interesting he said that, he led the talk of America being in decline. See that's not talk we hear about here as much as they're hearing there.
''And if they're thinking about investing in America, entrepreneurs putting their future in America, if they think America's in decline they're not gonna do it.''
Senator Carr had previously made the same remark in April during a speech at a Washington think tank.
A spokesman yesterday said Mr Romney's interpretation was not correct.
''Senator Carr was arguing the case that America's economy is stronger than it is given credit for,'' he said. He said the Foreign Minister had offered the same diagnosis to World Bank chief, Bob Zoellick....
Of course, the limited Romney always assigns economic underpinnings of a failure to the current administration. He never assigns moral content to any words spoken anywhere in the world. It is all dollars and cents to Romney.
'America is just one budget deal away from ending all talk of America being in decline'
The Prime Minister refers to the LACK OF CONFIDENCE the divided US Republican House instills in the American economy. It is a moral statement, not a fiscal one.
Romney is extremely limited in his focus. He has no insight and he certainly doesn't care about allies and their desire to be involved in the USA economy, purchasing USA Bonds and the CONFIDENCE that should accompany that when fiscal stability comes to the forefront of the RESPONSIBILITIES of the USA House.
Romney's ambitions are so blinding to him there is no way anyone can trust him with the future of the country, either in protecting citizens from heinous violence or with fiscal stability.
