I never knew this about Mitt
 

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.

Pretty accurate and succinct in my opinion.

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.

He is a human being. People in his own party have called him a liar and the worst Republican. He is an accomplished businessman, but does that necessarily translate to a virtue as a political leader?

Don't forget that he never allowed his dog to travel inside the station wagon. Or that he can't seem to drive French sedans for significant distances without killing someone.

You mean that we can go back to the sunny economic times that prevailed at the end of the Bush administration?

Great information! Thanks for posting it.

He's a bit of a car guy too. His Dad was CEO of American Motors and when Mitt was a young guy he drove an AMX or some other AMC performance car of some sort.


BTW, move forward cautiously while muddling up so many minds on this forum with those pesky facts!

Even steadfast Romney supporters must have some concern for his shape shifting on issues. He has been a political figure for some time and there seemingly endless video tapes of his firm convictions in the past which have been jettisoned in this run for the presidency. Are you truly comfortable with a candidate that will say anything, do anything, to get votes?

I know, Obama turns me off with that crap too.

Yeah, I was about to say something similar. Has nothing to do with their being named Obama or Romney. It has to do with them being politicians.

That fact does not make the info untrue.

So from some on this forum we've either got do-no-wrong Romney or Hitler as choices this election. Interesting.

Here we go. It's all true unless you can prove it isn't. And then, even if you can, I won't read it.

A politician has been characterized as a "liar". Are you presenting that information as Pro-, or Anti -Romney? Some would see that as high recommendation for elected office.

Come on Gents ---

I believe B.O.'s achievments before taking office are far superior ...

Let's see, he went to college and that was paid by whom ?

He was a "community activist" yet made enough money to jettison to the national arena and actively seek the presidency with just 143 days of US Senate experience under his belt. I know he did a great job for Illinois as a state employee there. He did sign 2 bills that became law while a US Senator.

He and his wife were represented as wealthly, power-broker lawyers who gave it all up to be the first family, yet they didn't start making real money until the election was over and they got into office. I smell another book deal in the making.

I think the real distinction between the two is that Mitt made his money and fame thru the private sector and B.O. and wife made theirs compliments of the tax payers. I will pick the private sector guy any time.

As for Joe Biden, he is the cheapest man I know. Never tipped once, and that says a lot about a person. As many Delawareans would agree, if it was not for a horrible, personal tradegy, Joe would have never been voted in. B.O. got voted in because of the US Ecomomy becoming a tradegy. That is how B.O. & Joe are similar: they rose up from tradegy

Great points! It would be REALLY interesting to know where the Harvard money came from.
