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.
Let’s not forget he is a practical moderate who dares to work across the aisle.
Liberals: Save your comments that Obama is a moderate. He is nothing of the sort. He was the most Liberal Senator in 2007, and as President he signed major legislation that was void of any Republican votes.
Anyone who clamors for bipartisanship then votes for Obama is either wildly misinformed about the careers of the 2 candidates, or are lying to themselves.
Which Romney are you talking about? He changes so often I’m not sure which one you mean. Do you mean the one who said “my job is not to worry about those people” the 47 percent of Americans? Or the Romney who then told Sean Hannity that his “47 percent” comments were “completely wrong.” The one who is pro-life or the one who is pro-choice? The one who dislikes ObamaCare or the one who then says he’s in favor of just the popular parts of ObamaCare. The one who said he would cover people with preexisting conditions or the one who reversed himself and said he would leave that to the states.
The wrestling lady would like to get away from Mitt Romney. Truth is they are both ultra-rich Republicans. She claims she is independent but you know she will side with the Republicans on any important issue.
“Truth is they are both ultra-rich Republicans.”
The audacity – how despicable! How un-American! How unpatriotic! They are obviously selfish, greedy pigs and not worthy of the public trust
He probably thinks you are serious. Worse yet, those are probably his exact sentiments.
even sadder is that he claims to be a business owner
Linda McMahon’s TV commercial urging people to split their tickets and vote for President Barack Obama, and her, is disingenuous, desperate and dishonest.
