VOTE for Mitt Romney!!
« on: October 25, 2012, 04:58:59 am »



A lot is being said in the media about Mitt Romney not being "likable"
 
or that he doesn't "relate well" to people.

Frankly, we struggled to understand why.

So after much research, we have come up with a Top Ten List

to explain this "unlikablility."
 

 
 
 
 
Top Ten Reasons To Dislike

Mitt Romney:

1.

Gracious, statesmanlike aura.

Looks like every central casting's #1 choice for Commander-in-Chief.

2.

Been married to ONE woman his entire life, and has been faithful to her,

including through her bouts with breast cancer and MS.

3.

No scandals or skeletons in his closet.

(How boring is that?)

4.

Can't speak in a fake, southern, "black preacher voice"

when necessary.

5.

Highly intelligent.

Graduated *bleep* laude from both Harvard Law School and Harvard Business School ...
 
and by the way, his academic records are NOT sealed.

6.

Doesn't smoke or drink alcohol, and has never done drugs,

not even in the counter-culture age when he went to college.

Too square for today's America ?

7.

Represents an America of "yesterday",

where people believed in God, went to Church, didn't screw around,

worked hard, and became a SUCCESS!

8.

Has a family of five great sons....

and none of them have police records or are in drug rehab.

But of course, they were raised by a stay-at-home mom,

and that "choice" deserves America 's scorn.

9.

Oh yes.....he's a MORMON.

We need to be very afraid of that very strange religion

that teaches its members to be clean-living, patriotic,

fiscally conservative, charitable, self-reliant, and honest.

10.

And one more point.....

pundits say because of his wealth, he can't relate to ordinary Americans.

I guess that's because he made that money HIMSELF.....

as opposed to marrying it or inheriting it from Dad (see details below on inheritance).

Apparently, he didn't understand that actually working at a job and earning your own money

made you unreliable to Americans.

My goodness, it's a strange world, isn't it?

 

Personal Information:

His full Name is:

Willard Mitt Romney

He was Born:

March 12, 1947 and is 65 years old.

His Father:

George W. Romney, former Governor

of the State of Michigan

He was raised in

Bloomfield Hills, Michigan

He is Married to

Ann Romney since 1969; they five children.

Education:

B.A. from Brigham Young University ,

J.D. and M.B.A. from Harvard University

Religion:

Mormon - The Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-Day Saints

Working Background:

After high school, he spent 30 months in France as a

Mormon missionary.

After going to both Harvard Business School and

Harvard Law School simultaneously, he passed the Michigan

bar exam, but never worked as an attorney.

In 1984, he co-founded Bain Capital a private equity

investment firm, one of the largest such firms in the

United States.

In 1994, he ran for Senator of Massachusetts and lost

to Ted Kennedy.

He was President and CEO of the 2002 Winter Olympic

Games.  His management of the games actually saved the financially strapped games and saved the US from great embarrassment.
 
In 2002, he was elected Governor of the State of

Massachusetts where he eliminated a 1.5 billion deficit.

Some Interesting Facts

about Romney:

Bain Capital, starting with one small office supply store

in Massachusetts , turned it into Staples; now over

2,000 stores employing 90,000 people.

Bain Capital also worked to perform the same kinds

of business miracles again and again, with companies

like Domino's, Sealy, Brookstone, Weather Channel,

Burger King, Warner Music Group, Dollarama,

Home Depot Supply and many others.

He was an unpaid volunteer campaign worker for

his dad's gubernatorial campaign 1 year.

He was an unpaid intern in his dad's governor's

office for eight years.

He was an unpaid bishop and stake president of

his church for ten years.

He was an unpaid President of the Salt Lake

Olympic Committee for three years.

He took no salary and was the unpaid Governor of

Massachusetts for four years.

He gave his entire inheritance from his father to charity.

Mitt Romney is one of the wealthiest self-made men

in our country but has given more back to its citizens

in terms of money, service and time than most men.

And in 2011 Mitt Romney gave over $4 million to charity,

almost 19% of his income.... Just for comparison purposes,

Obama gave 1% and Joe Biden gave $300 or .0013%.

Mitt Romney

is Trustworthy:

He will

show us his birth certificate

He will

show us his high school and college transcripts.

He will

show us his social security card.

He will

show us his law degree.

He will

show us his draft notice.

He will

show us his medical records.

He will

show us his income tax records.

The OP did indeed post an unattributed cut & paste from:

... without giving credit to the republican-biased author, David B. Babbitt, or using quote marks.

So many times people just say. "well I like Obama because he supports abortion and gay marriage." Thing is Obama changes his, "view," based on what group he is around. He did pass the bill three times that supported killing babies after they where born healthy and alive. This bill says that after a baby is born you lock him or her in a closet and let him or her starve to death and cry until he or she passes away. Obama is a sick sick person. He is a supporter of murder. When it comes to gay marriage I don't support it, but that is the bussiness of those who are involved in it. Abortion makes me want to get involved and protect innocent children. When I look at my new born baby its hard to imagine the sick cruel ways of Obama. I would gladly sacrifice a limb just to be able to vote for Mitt Romney. These children need to be protected and rescued before more of this happens. If you vote for Obama, I hate to say this because I know it sounds cruel, but shame on you if you know he does this and still vote for him. These babies are on all our hands. We have to do all we can to protect these precious children.
Lord Jesus Christ is the only way for eternal salvation from sins. Jesus loves you.

Name the exact bill by number which says this.  If you cannot, you're an outright liar.

I'm going to contest the ones I don't agree with or are wrong.

Quote

Completely incorrect. What about his 47% statement? What about evading US taxes through offshore loopholes? How about exploiting the other tax loopholes that have been in the news? What about the whole Lauber hazing? Or how about the petty dog-on-the-car-roof story? I could go on, but you need to fact check.

Quote
Can't speak in a fake, southern, "black preacher voice"  when necessary

This sounds pretty racist.

Quote
his academic records are NOT sealed.

But most of his tax records are-- something all presidential candidates and presidents openly release to the public.

Quote
Doesn't smoke or drink alcohol, and has never done drugs,

So what? Neither did Hitler! lol

Quote
Represents an America of "yesterday", where people believed in God, went to Church, didn't screw around,

Incorrect. You live in a naive world if you believe people never screwed around in any time period. Stop watching the Andy Griffith show 24/7 and get with the program.

Quote
Oh yes.....he's a MORMON.

Oh yes...a very scary cult that is gaining popularity in the US-- one in which it's founder killed 2 people in cold blood before he was killed by an angry mob who wanted to hang the well-known con artist. Wanna see how screwed up this religion is? http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=6udew9axmdM

I'm fairly certain if you make over a 6-digit number or write your 70,000$ horse off on your taxes, you simply can't relate to the  vast majority of the population.

Excellent point-by-point rebuttals, (to which supporters of the assertions rebuted apparently have no counter-arguments).

3.

(How boring is that?)






Check out how Mitt Romney lied, under oath, in a divorce proceeding to help his friend (the founder of STAPLES) cheat his cancer stricken, ex wife out of money. He deliberately undervalued Staples stock in his sworn testimony and within a few weeks after testifying that the stock was worthless and failing, he and his friend sold their stock holdings to Goldman Sachs and made millions while the ailing ex wife walked away with 1/10 of what the stock was really worth.  So thanks to Mitt Romney, she was left with no money and no insurance.  This is the information that Atty. Gloria Allred is trying to get out to the general public,  especially women, but the ex wife was slapped with a gag order that Atty. Allred cant get lifted, so the national news can't report it.  You can only read about it on news feeds like The Huffington Post, etc.

Maybe there are other skeletons under gag orders too!.....hence, no skeletons!

One was the Born Alive infant bill.  From what I gather the bills were about occasions where a fetus would survive an induced labor abortion.  Obama's position was that if a doctor believed that the fetus was viable, save it, otherwise kill it or leave it to die.  That was the law that was already in place.  Bills that that came up on abortion that he voted against included language that he felt was too broad.  Pro-life activists make it out like Obama is for infanticide, which would be career suicide for a politician.

I really hope you are joking.... If you think Obama changes his views like that then you are blind to how Romney is. He is the one how has flip flopped on all of his statements. Please think and get facts before talking on a public site. There are ALWAYS two sides to every story. if you don't get the other side you are only jumping to conclusions and that is never the way to go.  ;)
