Exactly what are you talking about ??

--------------------------------------

Don't we as a country have more to worry about than worrying about if
Romney feels that hams aren't necessarily needed? What about issues
like social security, foreign policy, immigration, etc. Where does
Romney stand on these issues? To decide to vote or not vote for any
candidate based on their view of ham radio is a bit narrow minded perhaps?



It seems that about 2 years ago, Romney made a statement concerning
Amateur Radio, and something to the effect he does not support it as a means
of communication during emergencies. As I said, this was made 2 years ago,
and is now a BIG topic for some reason. While I am not planning to vote for
him, I guess someone felt the need to bring this up, to stir up the Ham
community. Looks like it did a good job from what I've seen all over the
place now. If that's the only negative thing anyone can find, he may well
may be the top choice, but then again, that does not seem to be the reason a
person is elected to most offices...
