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?

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.

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?

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.

As opposed to those who have never been anything other than political figures who will "evolve" to anything to get votes and win elections?
