    Seriously, Romney's speech esp troubled me by mocking rising seas/climate change. The dismissiveness was appalling.

    Mocking climate change, lying about "apology tours," warmongering, empty promises. Not how one makes a case to be President. #rnc2012

    That speech was a fairly honest reflection of what Mitt Romney's America would look like. Now you decide if you want to live in it.

    Not Reagan's foreign policy on nuclear issues or in dealing with Russia. This is foreign policy of amnesia and dangerous jingoism.

    There are plenty of great lines in this speech, but Romney’s delivery is off, and more importantly, he seems so insincere.
