In defeat last night in Florida, MItt Romney gave one of the most inspiring speeches I have heard in a long time. He spoke of the situation in Washington and pointed out the real problem:
Washington is FUNDAMENTALLY BROKEN!!
The American people have asked Washington to:
Fix the Border Problem - NO
Fix the problem of Illegals in this country- NO
Fix the Tax code- NO
Fix Social Security- NO
Balance the Budget- NO
I could go on and on and you get the picture. Mitt webt on to say that fixing Washington CANNOT come about by sending the same people back "Only to sit in different chairs". Washington can only change by changing the people that are sent to Washington.
Mitt Romney has a background uincomparable to the other candidates. He is a counselor, a businessman and a proven leader. He knows that only Businesses create jobs and bring prosperity to the country and its citizens. And, so what does Mitt Romney do? As Vice President of Bain & Company- a consulting group- helped to create new businesses by lending money and guiding them into success. Businesses like Staples, Sealy, Sports Authority, Bright Horizons, and Brookstone to name a but a few. The number of businesse is in the hundreds.
He took over the mess that was the 2001 Salt Lake City Olympics and erased $379 million debt and created a profit- one of the most profitable Olympics in American history- especially at such a crucial time- shortly after September 11, 2001. As a Mormon Church member he was comparable to a bishop or pastor and actually listened and counseled people from all walks of life and prayed with them. This is unheard of today to see a man of such quality!! He is truly a Man for all seaons and deserves our consideration in this most critical election in the history of this country.
I am a Conservative Republican and Catholic from Massachusetts and I believe he was a breath of fresh in air in our state. Receiving support from all facets of society- The Catholic Church, Inner-city groups and churches, businessmen and the votes felecting him to two terms as governor. He raised state revenue WITHOUT raising taxes and left the treasury with a surplus. He fought for the rights of the citizens to decide the issue of Marriage, he supported pro-life causes and worked to get parental notification for teenage girls seeking abortions. Supported the Catholic Church in opposing Homsexual Adoptions of children. He refused to give protection or security to the visiting "terrorist" former PM of Iran when he was invited to speak at a local university (I forget which- either Harvard or BU).
Mitt Romney is the MAN we need to send to WASHINGTON. He is the true outsider who can bring real change and not just talk about it.
McCain is a democrat in a Republican suit!!! He is not a conservative and he is part of the problem.
Vote MItt Romney for President!!!!
