Will The Real Mitt Romney Please Stand Up!

Meet the Republican Nominee!!

Yesterday Mitt Romney finally wrapped up the Republican nomination by getting more than 1144 Delegates. Given that our choice for president is now Mitt Romney or Barack Obama, let's take a good look at the real Mitt Romney.


"I like being able to fire people." - Mitt Romney

"Corporations are people my friend." - Mitt Romney

"I'm not concerned about the very poor." - Mitt Romney


"Uh... with regards to abortion... uh...."- Mitt Romney



He Will Do ANYTHING, and Say ANYTHING to Become President

Healthcare: 

 

When Mitt Romney was Governor, he was in support of a mandate.

"I like mandates. The mandates work." - Mitt Romney

However, When running on a national level where the mandate is unpopular among the GOP, Mitt Romney Changed his 'view' and decide he no longer supported the mandate. 

"I think it's unconstitutional on the 10th Amendment front." - Mitt Romney


Women's Health:

When Mitt Romney was Governor, he was in support of a Woman's right to her own body.

"I respect and will protect a woman's right to choose." - Mitt Romney

However, When running on a national level where the GOP is running a War On Women, Mitt Romney retracted his view for a woman's right to her own body and is no longer pro-choice. 

"I never really called myself pro-choice." - Mitt Romney

Worker's Rights:

At one point, Mitt 'stood up' for **cough** **cough**
Sorry
At one point Mitt stood up for worker's rights. 

"I think the minimum wage ought to keep pace with inflation." - Mitt Romney

Will the real Mitt Romney please stand up

"There's no question raising the minimum wage excessively causes a loss of jobs." - Mitt RomneySee: Minimum Wage Increase Would Help Sluggish Economy, Say Experts



Mitt Romney is for Corporations, Not Americans. 

"Corporations are people my friend." - Mitt Romney (See Video Here)

A Better Amercia

I think by now, many of us know about Romney's time at Bain capital. How The company would buy companies below the book value then sell it off in pieces. Mitt Romney is a vulture capitalist, although we do need vulture capitalist in our society, we do not need one as president.

On the same day that news of her plans to lay off 30,000 Hewlett-Packard employees leaked to the press, Mitt Romney felt inspired to lavish praise on her managerial skills. Earth to Mitt, Your friend is destroying 30,000 jobs, 30k if you need the apprehension, it is not very smart to praise her for that.... But that's not the end of it...

After getting the needed delegates, Mitt Romney did not go and celebrate with the people, rather he went and celebrated with his corporate friends including Meg Whitman and Donald Trump. In fact, Meg Whitman is throwing a high end fundraiser for Mitt at the 95-room Carolands Chateau, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. Tickets for the event are running as high as $50,000 apiece.



Mitt Romney is a Birther conspirator.

Donald Trump has been seen hand in hand with Mitt Romney lately, and that birther conspiracy shit is beginning to rub off on Mitt.

Mitt Romney released a copy of his birth certificate, maybe to show he is a citizen, or maybe to show he agrees with the birther conspirators. Given that there was no need to preform such a release and that he has been hanging out with the number one birther conspirator, it is fair to assume he was doing so for the birthers.

“I was speaking with one of these business owners who owns a couple of restaurants in town,” Romney said. “And he said ‘You know I’d like to change the Constitution, I’m not sure I can do it,’ he said. ‘I’d like to have a provision in the Constitution that in addition to the age of the president and the citizenship of the president and the birthplace of the president being set by the Constitution, I’d like it also to say that the president has to spend at least three years working in business before he could become president of the United States.‘”  - Mitt Romney

 So he is now implying that President Obama is not a legitimate citizen... 


Mitt Romney Has No Backbone:

Mitt Romney's lack of backbone has been self evident through his nomination process, he has flip flopped on many issues, and he stands by while his supporters make outrageous statements about our president.

"We have a president right now that is operating outside the structure of our Constitution," an audience member at a Mitt Romney rally said to applause. "And I want to know -- yeah, I do agree he should be tried for treason -- but I want to know what you would be able to do to restore balance between the three branches of government and what you are going to be able to do to restore our Constitution in this country."
Romney didn't correct the woman, choosing instead to address the question she posed.

He says nothing about the Birther conspirators, including Trump:
Tweet by Donald Trump: “@BarackObama is practically begging @MittRomney to disavow the place of birth movement, he is afraid of it and for good reason" "He keeps using @SenJohnMcCain as an example, however, @SenJohnMcCain lost the election. Don’t let it happen again.”

When Rush Limbaugh called Sandra Fluke a "Slut" Mitt Romney said: "    " then he said “I'll just say this which is it’s not the language I would have used, I’m focusing on the issues I think are significant in the country today" 
Earth to Mitt, Women's Rights are a significant issue!!!


Mitt Romney Avoids any mention of former president George W. Bush, instead calls him Obama's predecessor.


Mitt Romney is part of the 1%

Mitt Romney is running not to lead the country, but to protect his small group of friends that are on top. He is running to protect the 1% and their investments. Mitt Romney has become an investment for the top 1%, that is why super pac after

Romney's Net Worth is over $200 Million

For the past 30 years, the top 1% have been taking all of the gains in production while the rest of us are being left to pick up the scraps.

Investors are not job creators! Investors are investors! Investors are investing to make money and regardless of having high or low taxes if an investment is sound and is going to make a profit, then the investors

Romney's tax plan? Well his tax plan is to significantly cut taxes for the Mega Wealthy!!! how is that going to cut our deficit?

Obama Presidency Facts

Spending has increased the least under Obama in comparison with preceding presidents

Check Out: Forbes.com if you do not believe me...

"Since President Obama assumed office three years ago, federal spending has accelerated at a pace without precedent in recent history." - Mitt Romney

Romney, not to rain on your parade, but it's Bush's spending that has done that...

Most Americans are under the belief that President Obama has Presided over a massive increase of federal spending. Many tout that this spending is putting our country at risk, killing jobs, businesses and the future of American children. Even some from the left are complaining about the spending.
However, belief is not a fact, to put the record straight, here are the facts!

• Federal Spending (even with the Obama stimulus) has risen at the slowest pace since Eisenhower was president.
• The first year of the Obama presidency was plagued with Bush's Budget, the first year of every presidency is saddled with the previous administrations budget.
• By no means did Obama try to reverse that spending. His budget proposals called for even more spending in subsequent years. However, Congress (mostly Republicans but many Democrats, too) stopped him. Had Obama had been a king who could impose his will, perhaps what the Republicans are saying about an Obama spending binge would be accurate."

Employment has increased since Bush left office

From: Zfacts.com
Thanks to the jobs stimulus plan, and the auto industry bailout (both opposed by the GOP) We are starting to regain Jobs.

The Loss of the AAA Credit Rating is Due to the GOP, and Bush Presidency.

From:  Zfacts.com and Reuters.com

The GOP led standoff over whether to continue to fund it while maintaining the Bush tax cuts, subsidies to the oil industry, and without enacting massive social program budget reductions. Thanks in large part to the two wars started by Bush, and the simultaneous tax cuts that increased our deficit, Standard and Poor's downgraded our credit rating. Nothing Obama did led to this. Nothing.

The current budget deficit's greatest contributors are the Bush tax-cuts

From: cbpp.org

The GOP wants to continue the biggest contributor to the deficit, the Bush Tax cuts, the economic downturn, and the ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan (the Iraq war being completely based upon lies)

Take a look at the chart to the right, you can see that the two biggest contributors to our deficit are the wars and the bush tax cuts. Facts don't lie, but the GOP is intent to.

Next to the Wars and Bush tax cuts, the Economic downturn comes in third, those three account for the majority of the US deficit.

Romney just loves the Donald. WHY???

Well Donald loves to knock Obama. Donald Trump is a birther conspirator. He is under the impression that Obama is not born in America

“That’s the way life works… He didn’t know he was running for president, so he told the truth. The literary agent wrote down what he said… He said he was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia… Now they’re saying it was a mistake. Just like his Kenyan grandmother said he was born in Kenya, and she pointed down the road to the hospital, and after people started screaming at her she said, ‘Oh, I mean Hawaii.’ Give me a break.”

- Donald Trump

Hey Donald! Gone Bankrupt Lately? I think the count is 4 so far....

End “job-killing” regulations

Romney says he’ll get rid of regulations that stifle job creation, but only one candidate has a record of ending burdensome regulations and helping create jobs, President Obama.

President Obama initiated an overhaul to roll back more than 500 regulatory reforms from 26 agencies and approved fewer regulations through his first three years than President Bush did.

Under President Obama, the private sector has added over 4.2 million private sector jobs in the last 26 months.

Under Romney, Massachusetts was 47th out of 50 in job creation.
