The Top Ten Reasons To Dislike Mitt Romney :
1. Drop-dead, collar-ad
handsome with 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 multiple sclerosis.
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
cum 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 and worked hard to become successful!
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 finally . . . 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. Apparently, he didn't
understand that actually working at a job and
earning your own money made
you unrelatable to Americans.
My
goodness, it's a strange world, isn't it?

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

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 he has nothing to hide.
Mitt Romney's
background, experience and trustworthiness show him to be a
great leader and
an excellent citizen for President of the United States.
You may think
that Romney may not be the best representative the Republicans
could have
selected. At least I know what religion he is, and that he won't
desecrate
the flag, bow down to foreign powers, or practice fiscal
irresponsibility. I
know he has the ability to turn this financial debacle
that the current
regime has gotten us into. We won't like all the things
necessary to recover
from this debt, but someone with Romney's background
can do it.
But,
on the minus side, he never was a "Community Organizer", never took
drugs or
smoked pot, never got drunk, did not associate with communists or
terrorists, nor did he attend a church whose pastor called for God to damn
the US.
I am not positive, but I don't think Mitt Romney ever ate a dog, either.
