No. I also do not trust Barack Obama. Or any other politician.
I would ask those who do trust politicians, why? It can't be because of their track record.......
Do you trust Mitt Romney?

I trust no politician unconditionally and no politician, no matter how conservative or liberal (depending on your political POV) is going to satisfy you (or me) 100% of the time.
That having been stated, were he elected president, I trust Mitt Romney to improve the sputtering U.S. economy and likely reduce some taxes and rein in federal spending after the profligate Obama has put the U.S. in a far deeper debt than he 'inherited' with little to show for it after 3 years. I also trust that a 'president' Mitt Romney would not allow Iran to fully develop a nuclear capacity and would not be fiddling around holding pointless 'negotiations' with Iran - no preconditions, of course - making it more difficult for Israel to defend itself with a preemptive strike at Iran's nuclear development sites.
However, I don't trust Romney to be a conservative in the strict (political) sense of the word - we haven't had one of those since Ronald Reagan - but should Romney become the 2012 GOP presidential nominee, conservative Republicans will vote for him to (a) remove the destructive Obama and, (b) give him a big enough margin of victory to have a mandate. Of course it's understood the hypothetical 'President Romney' will need a Republican voting majority in congress to get things accomplished. That will require just a few GOP wins and is quite possible, albeit, not guaranteed.

Exactly how do you think Gingrich will "harm" me, degsme? Please support your premise. Maybe you will change my mind.

Trust is a misnomer, unless you're a politician that can talk with both sides of (his & her) mouth.
Trust? not so much

Would you like to live under a KING, jen. That is how I look at Newt. He will anoint himself KING, to do what is right in his own mind. Where if we had a ww3 under bush one would have thought he would try to over step his powers, with Newt it's a forgone conclusion that he would do it.
