why Mitt is unlikeable
« on: July 30, 2012, 08:14:50 AM »
Not sure who authored it, but I liked it. oops copy paste didnt work so good :-[
    Why Mitt Romney is Unlikable!  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. Handsome with gracious, statesman like 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 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, 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, inheriting it from Dad or through political connections. 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? *****************************************************

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. 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 state 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. 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 back.

Good post Mirage. Very reviling. The left wing media loves a slime ball leftist any day over a guy who has led an upstanding life. Even if there are things we don't like about him or his position on the issues. He's Head & Shoulders above the low life obama on ANY scale.

Mitt isn't running for father in chief, husband in chief, pastor in chief, professor in chief or boss in chief.

I could care less about the things the campaign flier above states.

He's running for commander in chief! What are his policies? What is his past record and what are his future plans?

That would be the very early version of Romney a protoRomney if you will. Many improvements and refinements have been made to the software since then.

He grew up on a small farm in Smallville USA
Hunting was an important part of his life, and he went often. Some say he was the best Coon hunters in the state.
He never lied, and what came out of his mouth, you could take to the bank! Family was everything to him, and he led by example to his sons and daughters.He doesn't smoke or drink alcohol,Can't speak in a fake, southern, "black preacher voice" when necessary, but what a voice he has.
 
Could go on, but the point is.............A good PR person can even make a (COON HOUND) sound like Presidential material! Doesn't mean a thing! It's who they are and what they do.IMO, these two fit the bill as two worthless politicians who will say and do anything to get elected, and do the opposite once they are.

I agree with that, which is why that type of person cannot be allowed to have a second term, since at that point they no longer have to worry about votes, they will go with their philosophy. Logical people know this, but how to deal with it is tough at best. Many will vote for Romney, some will write in Mickey Rooney, Alfred E. Newman, whatever. But the key is to never allow this type to have a term where they can do what they really want. So whatever plan works I guess.

There are many self made men that make no effort at being especially personable. It is those of questionable value that feel a fake smile is all they need to get by.

Well maybe a tinkers. Electing anyone other than the incumbent will slow the march to total socialism just a mite. And it is true that if Romney wins the hill of crap Obama left him will be tough to get over.

WRONG!!!
Obama in a second term will do what he wants & we know that.
I don't want Romney at all, & open to someone else, but who & how?

See, this is how the left will lie endlessly. First Needles says "Mitt wont show his income tax records". Then Needles goes on to say " What kind of Capitalist patriot does not pay his taxes?

I have news for you Needles, if Mitt has not shown his tax records how do you know he has not paid tax? Seems to be a pretty enormous contradiction there. But the real fact is Mitt has shown his tax records, as many years as is normal for presidentail candidate, as many as your beloved Pelosi has shown and McCain. So you are either listening to much to the leftist liars over at MSNBC, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, etc or your just misinformed.

But it a great distration from the facts and truth. And that is Obama is a miserable failure in every single area.

RWD I sure can't call Romney a "real conservative" and he is not one I would have run for president however he has some qualities sadly lacking in the leftists Messiah. mcbammer is correct in his assessment.
