Will you answer some questions regarding the Republican Primaries in America?

Asked by JLeslie (65450points) January 30th, 2012

1. If the economy gets better and unemployment continues to go down, will the Republicans switch to other topics, and which topics will become most important? Will social issues come back into the discussion as a larger deciding factor for Republican voters?

2. On TV they keep talking about Romney being two close to Obama on the issue of healthcare, because of what Romney put into place while Governor. So what? So what if he agrees with Obama on an issue? One, two, even three topics…there will still be things they greatly differ on.

3. I saw Joe Scarborough today saying there are probably years where Mitt Romney paid close to zero in taxes in the last five years. I have no problem with it, if he followed the law (although to be clear, I think tax law needs to be changed). Michael Steele stated that Democrats are trying to present payroll income and investment income as one in the same. Really? I never here Democrats saying that? I don’t know any Dems personally who are critical of Romney following the tax code. What I do wonder is if Romney has employed a lot of people in the last five years while only paying capital gains? If you are a Republican, would Romney paying <15% tax and not hiring anyone matter to you regarding your opinion on whether the tax laws really benefit our economy and employment.
