MEET THE REAL MITT ROMNEY

ACTUALLY......As everyone knows the 47% issue (where he calls 47% of Americans free-loaders and lazy) is still very much in the news.  Romney has tried to back-track on that comment by saying, "Of course, I want to help all Americans have a bright and prosperous future".  He went on to say his comment wasn't elegantly stated and that he spoke off the cuff.  Let's talk about "elegant"......did he mean the disgusting attack on hard working Americans, the elderly, veterans, the not-so-well off Americans who are depending on their Social Security. Are they free-loading off the taxpayers?  We can't leave out the Bush tax cuts, where the rich are getting a handout by getting tax breaks and hand outs?  Or Tax Evaders like Mitt Romney, and his wealthy cronies, who pay little or no taxes because their accountants have little tricks that eliminate that? Are all these individuals not free-loaders who expect the 47% to pay their share of taxes?  It's hard to tell who the free-loaders are, isn't it?

Mitt Romney has to deal with his own greed and dishonesty with hard working families.  What is probably worse that anything he previously said, is he makes no apology for his statement. But instead is flipping around like crazy trying to change his image. 

So far he has not given us the details of the economic reform he keeps talking about.  He evades questions regarding the entitlements he is claiming he'll cut in his budget, and if he has plans for actually creating jobs he sure hasn't laid that out yet. Romney's new image he's created is one of a secret, deceptive robot without decency or details. This is the man that lied 27 times in 38 minutes during the October 4 debate.

Bain Capital is outsourcing 170 jobs, in a company they own called Sensata.  Bain is sending the company to China, and U.S. workers were actually forced to train their new Chinese workers, who are taking their jobs.  Mitt Romney gets a check for that!!  These families are on unemployment benefits, thanks to Bain Capital.   Romney refused to meet with the workers from Sensata.  They went to the RNC Convention to speak with Romney - he refused again . 

These are the facts, Romney continues to receive profits from Bain Capital, a company that he created that outsources good American workers jobs.  He didn't earn his wealth honestly, he found a way to sell off  U.S. companies and offshore American jobs.  Mitt Romney's egotistical greed and dishonesty will continue to do untold damage to the American people if he is elected.

GUESS WHAT?  THIS DEVIOUS MAN WANTS AMERICA TO VOTE FOR HIM

ELEGANTLY STATED OR INARTICULATE

ACTUALLY......  I really think Mitt Romney is pushing the envelop on this.  This 47% thing should really tell the tale of disaster.  It's unbelievable that a candidate for president of the United States would go behind closed doors and say things that he wouldn't say on the campaign trail. It just accentuates his feeling that he is superior and that he is out of touch to mainstream Americans.  He's being sneaky, indigenous, insincere and arrogant! He has called almost half of Americans that are dependent on government for their well being moochers, and that he is "not concerned about that because they are lazy and will never change".  Romney said "I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives".  He said "that the 47% who pay no income tax, are victims and feel entitled to a lot of federal benefits".  That is outrageously insulting!

Let's take a look at some of these 47%ers.  What about students who need to have government aid to attend a community college? What about waitresses and buss-boys, janitors that don't earn enough to pay taxes?  What about the Active duty military in combat zones, and Iraq war veterans who go to the VA?  What about retired citizens who have Medicare and live on their Social Security, which they have earned through decades of working and paying taxes? I could go on and on with examples - these Americans are self sufficient and independent, not free-loaders.

The 47% issue has been compared to Obama's 2008 comment about working class people  "clinging to guns or religion".  If you're a church-going supporter of gun control, you could take exception to "God" and "guns".  But Obama was right:  most of Obama's observation was compassionate toward blue-collar American's who feel betrayed by government.  Obama's point was to reach out to, not write off, his fellow Americans.  What Romney got wrong is: among wealthy nations it's difficult to find one where people work harder than the United States.  The donors at the Boca Raton fundraiser were made possible by the strong efforts of proud, self-sufficient people, including many in the negative 47%.

Just as a reminder, you may want to read again what our infamous Republican candidate for President had to say at a fundraiser.  Watch you're blood pressure when you read this. 

"There are 47% of the people who will vote for the president no matter what.  There are 47% who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it.  That That's an entitlement.  And the government should give it to them.  And they will vote for this president no matter what....These are the people who pay no income tax.  My job is not to worry about those people.  I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives."

MITT ROMNEY SAID THIS WAS NOT "ELEGANTLY STATED"....... PAUL RYAN SAID IT WAS "INARTICULATE"....... WHAT DO YOU THINK???

CLUELESS ROMNEY

ACTUALLY....... In this writers opinion, Mitt Romney doesn't believe in "a closed mouth gathers no foot".  'Buzzfeed' has called Romney's remarks after the Cairo incident "an utter disaster, not ready for prime time, and not presidential".  A senior Republican foreign hand said "I guess we now see that it is because Romney is incompetent at talking effectively about foreign policy.  This is just unbelievable".  Romney has not backed off, but his campaign faces the opinion in Republican circles that Romney faltered badly.  A former Bush State Department official said it wasn't presidential of Romney to political immediately.  He said that "a tragedy like this should be something the nation collectively grieves before politics enters the conversation".  The founder of the American Strategy Program said "Romney blew it and revealed how seriously maladroit he is when it comes to foreign affairs and national security.  An attack on an American Embassy, the murder of  U.S. officials, including an Ambassador, is an attack on all Americans and the idea of America - Romney gave terrorists what they want - a divided country still torn emotionally and politically by the events of 9-11.  Romney talks of leadership but with his reckless commentary when events were fragile and still unfolding, he belly-flopped".  Romney has chosen to inject politics into a national tragedy and ongoing crisis.

Every day, the President of the United States is faced with scores of decisions, each with important  consequences for America's future.  Romney says, "If I'm President of the United States, we will restore our military commitment and keep America the strongest military in the world.  The Middle East needs American leadership".  

Fine and dandy, Mitt - just how do you expect to do that?  You make all these grandiose statements, but when you're asked how to go about them the answer is always......well, we'll talk about that later.  Why don't you get Howdy-Doody, your loyal deficit hawk Veep, and come up with some answers?  Until then, watch what you say and when you say it!  Foreign Policy is way out of your league Governor Romney, as is most domestic policy. As a matter of fact, the Presidency is way out of your league. It's hard to be impressive when you can't answer a simple question without falling all over yourself.

Mitt, the voters will decide if you can display the convictions of courage, or if you're just a politician trying to slip by with your wealth and arrogance, instead of character in integrity.

IT'S YOUR CHOICE..... HONESTY, OR ......" WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT LATER"

BELIEVE ???

ACTUALLY...... "Believe in our Future"  yes, believe it or not, that's the title of one ofs.Mitt Romney's latest ads.  Governor Romney is so proud of his record as a corporate buyout specialist, and as head of the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics, and lets not forget he was governor of Massachusetts. He wants to share all of his experiences as proof that he can balance a budget and create jobs.  He has said that, he will use those wonderful experiences to guide Americans to a better future.

I've done some research and found a breakdown of the record that he's so proud of.  Here is what his leadership really meant for people that were affected by his career.

 Corporate buyout specialist

David Firestone of the New York Times, has this to say  "As Bain's founder, Romney established its business model, which is to wring the maximum efficiency from a company for the benefit of Bain’s investors, even if that means closing plants, shipping jobs to China, and laying off American workers.”

1.  Job loss - under Romney's expertise, Bain Capital's investments were responsible for thousands of workers loosing their jobs.

2.  Bankruptcies - Romney saw to it that Bain's deals were difficult for the company, and certainly it's executives, to ever really lose, even if companies took on more and more debt and went bankrupt.  Romney and his investors made $400 million from 4 bankrupt companies.

3.  Outsourcing - Bain Capital made strategic investments under Romney's direction, in outsourcing and offshoring companies that "grew into some of the largest outsourcing and offshoring companies in the world.”

Olympic Lobbyist

 Sen. John McCain said:  “You’ve got well over $1 billion that’s just a rip-off of the taxpayers, and, you know, is really a national disgrace … Actually, there should be a federal investigation.”

1.  Record-breaking expense - Romney's leadership at the Salt Lake Olympics got more federal cash than any previous U.S. Olympics, and cost the taxpayers $1.3 billion.

2.  Pet Projects - Romney used this taxpayer money on unnecessary projects.  $30 million for parking lots, $2 million for sewer systems, $500,000 for planting trees, and $4.7 million to upgrade post offices.

Massachusetts Governor

1.  Poor job creation - The Wall Street Journal tells us “The most powerful statistic may be that under Mr. Romney, Massachusetts was 47th out of 50 states in job creation, down from 36th when he took office."  Job growth was slower than the national average during the entire term that Romney was governor.

2.  Outsourcing -"Romney vetoed a bill that would have prohibited sending work overseas, and even outsourced jobs to a call center in India."

3.  Debt - When Romney left office, "Massachusetts became the first state in the nation in net tax supported debt per capita."

Do we want to elect a man as President of the United States that has a record of outsourcing, poor job creation and unnecessary spending?  He's saying that all these experiences will bring a better future for Americans.

It looks to me like he's tried all his magic, and his grandiose ideas haven't worked in the past.  They sure won't work now!!
