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.
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 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 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 years.
He was an unpaid
bishop and stake 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 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.
[Oooops!]
