LET ME INTRODUCE THE REAL - MITT ROMNEY

ACTUALLY...This is the man that is the Republican candidate for President. The man with extreme social agendas; the man that will demolish Medicare; make education more difficult for our young people to afford;  repeal the Affordable Care Act and all it's benefits for women, "get-rid" of Planned Parenthood, and who will reduce taxes on the wealthy while increasing taxes for the middle-class (to the tune of an additional $6,000 per year).

I'm asking you to read these issues and then see if you can honestly, with no hesitation, vote for Mitt Romney for President of the United States.

First of all, he has an aversion to being completely honest, and seems to feel hiding behind his past is a better option than full disclosure.  And, because he plays by his own rules has decided that he won't release past tax returns.

He invests his riches in foreign accounts insisting that he has received no special tax savings from doing so.  Romney owned a shell corporation before it was transferred  to his wife as a blind trust. According to the Bermuda government "non-resident investors can buy, sell shares or fund units, make bank deposits, etc., without the fear of taxation of any kind.  Specialized local exempt companies and trusts are available for those who wish to use Bermuda for asset protection or for holding international assets, and are equally free of taxation". He is, in my opinion, certainly more than lacking in ethics.

Mitt Romney is consistent in one thing.  He lies about his past business experience i.e. Bain Capital; accomplishments as Governor of Massachusetts; and he did not save the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympic Games - the American taxpayers did. 

The SEC has forms that show he didn't leave Bain Capital when he said he did.  It's hard to argue with the SEC, but give him credit, he tried.  When indeed did he really leave Bain Capital and all the responsibilities that went with his office as CEO? 

Romney is very vague about everything he is asked, and sometimes doesn't even answer.  He has a habit of changing the subject and often ignores the question.  He is famous for flip-floping on issues - of course he says he doesn't flip-flop, he "evolves".  He is known by some as "multiple choice Mitt".

He is now facing scrutiny as he courts veterans and makes his case to those who have fought in Iran and Afghanistan, while asking for their vote as commander-in-chief.  In 1994 he told the Boston Herald, "I was not planning on signing up for the military.  It was not my desire to go off and serve in Vietnam, nor did I take any actions to remove myself from the pool of young men who were eligible for the draft"  But according to the Selective Service records he received four draft deferments....then ran off to France.

THIS IS THE MITT ROMNEY THAT YOU PERHAPS HAVE NOT KNOWN

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

ROMNEY, THE CHARLATAN

ACTUALLY......did you know that Mitt Romney spent 25 years in the real world economy?  That's why he understands why jobs come and go.  He invested in a lot of companies that specialized in sending jobs done by American workers to low-wage countries like China, India and Mexico.  (That's the 'go' part.)  He doesn't talk much about the jobs he's created here in America.  Romney's outsourcing didn't just happen in the private sector.   When he was Governor of Massachusetts, he actually outsourced state jobs to a call center in India.  In the 15 years that he was running Bain, a private equity firm, they owned companies that shipped work from the U.S. to overseas call centers and factories making computer components according to the filings with the SEC.  The question has come up is this Outsourcing or Offshoring?  Not much difference, huh?

This my friends, is part of his economic philosophy.   He has also recently said that if he were President he would stand up to China and demand a level playing field for our workers.  He said he would direct the Department of Treasury to list China as a currency manipulator, and sanction China for unfair trade practices.  Think so, can't wait to see that - well he has made friends there.

There is no doubt that Mitt Romney is hoping for a worse case scenario in the U.S. economy.  The Congressional leadership is on Romney's same page.  I believe it's not about Mitt Romney - it's about the fact that things will get bad enough that they can throw President Obama under the bus and get rid of him. 

As if you didn't know - the GOP want's to get Obama out!  They couldn't care less how, or who beats him.  Mitt Romney is an etch-a-sketch man, a puppet for his campaign, has a very hard time telling the truth and is doing all he can to buy his way into the White House.  He will do or say anything to become President of the U.S.  What a sad day that would be.  Who in the world convinced him he was presidential material???

I'll always be an American, say the pledge of allegiance and wave "old glory", but I have to find someplace to hide if Romney is elected.  HELP!!  Maybe he'll deport me back to Ireland.
