How in all good conscience, can anyone vote for Mitt Romney? What's he going to do for us (except get that uppity black man out of office and back in the fields where he belongs)?
If you plan to vote for Romney, here's a few things to think about.
He disdains half the country based on their socioeconomic status and kowtows to the people in his party who want to take away the rights of those less fortunate than himself.
He disdains half the country based upon gender, and would take away our rights over our own bodies, our right to equal pay, our rights not to get beaten in our own homes, and everything else other than our right to get back in our binder and cook his meatloaf on Friday nights.
He blames the unemployment rate on President Obama, when his party is solely responsible. The policies of President Bush and the unwillingness of a House whose leadership met on the night of the inauguration to agree to stonewall everything just to get the black dude out of office.
He blames President Obama for the "5 million more women out of jobs", when the fact is that most of those are public sector job losses presided over by mostly Republican governors at the state level (you know, where Romney wants everything to happen). And that those job losses were lauded and praised by his party. So when he claims that President Obama promised to have the unemployment rate below 5%, well, had those Republican governors not laid off tons and tons of (mostly female) teachers, and underfunded firefighters and law enforcement, and made collective bargaining and unions illegal, unemployment would likely be far less. Oh, and if the President had a Congress who was willing to work with him instead of agreeing to block everything he wants to do? Things might be better.
He flat out lies to the people of this country. Jeep, welfare, taxes, 12 million jobs, Libya, $716 billion. All important things.
He has changed his opinion on every single issue facing Americans with the exception of "Corporations are People."
He refuses to share anything about his taxes. He would reduce his own, all while planning to raise mine.
He wrote off more on his taxes for his horse than the average American household earns in a year.
He buys canned goods and hands them out to people at his fundraisers under the guise of "collecting supplies for victims of Hurricane Sandy."
He refuses to answer questions from reporters. And no, Fox news doesn't count.
He blames our problems on President Obama's "failed policies", but the fact is, the American Jobs Act has been sitting in a committee in the House untouched for 2 years. So these are not President Obama's policies. They are still George Bush's policies.
We publicly decry this type of behavior in foreign leaders. Why is it acceptable here?
How can you in all good conscience vote for this man????
Contrast that with President Obama.
We've had 32 straight months of job growth. The unemployment rate has dropped below 8%, with no help from those Republican governors mentioned above.
Millions more people have health insurance.
Pre-existing conditions are no longer an issue in determining whether you can get health insurance.
College students can stay on their parents' insurance until 26.
He ended one war and put plans in place to end a second.
The repeal of DADT.
A start on the problem of immigration.
Signed new trade treaties.
Saved the American auto industry.
The credit card bill of rights, which protects us from unannounced, arbitrary rate changes.
Tax cuts across the board and for small businesses.
Established the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Wall Street Reforms.
Wants to protect my right to autonomy over my body, my right to fair pay, my right to not be beaten or have a rape baby (excuse me... a Gift From God).
Recognizes that family planning is good economic policy.
Recognizes that the Constitution guarantees that we do not have a national religion.
Believes in scientific evidence.
Brought the reputation of the US back to a positive rather than a negative in the world.
He believes in climate change (though admittedly has done little about it).
Increased oil production in the US to its highest levels.
Appointed two women of diverse ethnic backgrounds to the US Supreme Court.
Signed a new START treaty with Russia.
Chose the most bad-ass Secretary of State ever.
Endorsed same-sex marriage. Which really? Is just reiterating his position that we all deserve equality.
Presided over the killing Osama Bin Laden and much of Al Queda's leadership.
Do you know what his main problem was? He refused to toot his own horn (no that's not a euphemism). He treated us like we were adults. Major error there. Because we're nothing but a nation of spoiled brats who want instant gratification and refuse to find out any information on our own. We rely on TV, which no longer investigates, but only replays sound bites. We expect the problems brought on by 30 years of policies to be completely fixed and everything to be hunky-dory in less than 4 years.
Grow the fuck up people. Why is this race even remotely close?
Really, whatever happened to looking at the character of a man? To actions speaking louder than words?
There are so many other things he's done. Too many to even count. Try a couple of websites which list his accomplishments.
