Why America Needs Mitt Romney

[SniperFire]

Here, ignorant Libertines. Understand that in our REPUBLICAN system places such matters as healthcare for the denizens in the hands of the STATES. In fact, said authority never LEFT them:

James Madison, in Federalist Paper 45:

'The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government, are few and defined.

Those which are to remain in the state governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce ... The powers reserved to the several states will extend to all the objects, which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties and properties of the people; and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the state. '

Both are making money.
One is richer than the other, but both are rich.
One helped companies which help people keep their jobs, the other helped people in his community.
Seems both are making the world a better place.

Why America Needs Mitt Romney

Because the poor and middle class still have some money left..?

Mittens is gonna' continue what Obama's doing and what Bush did. Guaranteed.

Oh I have no doubt he'll be elected, I'm just wondering which one of his campaign promises he'll break first ala Bill Clinton.

Try, again, Skippy.​

WHITE
...is no-longer considered a "qualification".​

And just think, he will use the very same economic policies that nearly caused the economic down fall of the U.S. in '08.

This is the cluster-fvck that will take down the economy!

 

[Too Tall]

I'm not sure we know what Romney will do as prez. Hell, he probably doesn't know what he'll do. With all his flip-flopping and etch-a-sketching, I bet he's even confused with what he stands for.
He's the 2012 version of another fella from Massachusetts,,,John Kerry.

Obviously you didn't get the memo. Etch-a-sketch and flip-flopping have been replaced with evolving.

Get caught up, OK!

becuse you're too dumb to follow a flow-chart, it must be bad?

Got it.

Frankly, I've seen more complicated flow-charts in quality operations..

PS- I should also point out this is the HOUSE version which was not approved.

JoeBlow, so the new version might be worse and you've seen more complicated flow-charts in quality operations. Where do you work, a progressive/liberal think tank...

Romney's secret Swiss bank account....

Romney was required to file a financial disclosure form, less detailed than taxes, when he filed for president. In fact, he argued that he should have to release his taxes because the disclosure form showed everything important. But 23 different investment funds shown on his taxes did not appear on his disclosure form -- and 11 of those are in those overseas, secret banking centers. That's a sign of what he's embarrassed to reveal -- and it's also a felony, if the government can prove it was deliberate and not just a sloppy oversight.

The biggest concern is Romney's Swiss bank account, one of the items not on his financial disclosure. Mitt had it from 2003 to 2010, when his adviser shut it down. He closed it in the middle of an amnesty that the IRS had declared for owners of previously unreported Swiss bank accounts -- if they came clean, they would not face criminal prosecution for not reporting it in previous years (which was illegal - plus most weren't paying taxes on that money). Was the sudden shutdown of Romney's secret Swiss bank account part of this amnesty program? We can't know unless and until he releases prior returns, like his dad who released 12 years of prior returns. And Mitt is still fiercely refusing to do so.

Romney's Medicare Fraud....

In 1989, Romney led Bain Capital's purchase of Damon Corp., a medical testing company, and took a seat on the Board of Directors to better manage it. During Romney's four years, Bain tripled its investment, and Romney personally made $473,000 -- while Damon plumped its profits with Medicare fraud (running thousands of medical tests doctors didn't want, and billing Medicare for them). The company pled guilty to crimes committed during his tenure and paid a record fine of $119 million. Company President Joseph Isola pleaded no contest to fraud, and a vice president was also convicted.

Romney claims he "uncovered" the fraudulent claims and "took corrective action," but court records show that he did not notify prosecutors or stop the fraudulent billing. He just asked company lawyers what changes they could make to avoid prosecution, after the feds' LABSCAM prosecution targeted a different medical testing firm. The cheating continued, prosecutors say, until the day Bain sold the company to Corning. Furthermore, Damon Corp. was required to list in various SEC filings any significant legal risks it faced. Romney made no mention of the fraud he "uncovered," even though it led to a $119 million fine, the largest in history. Damon Corp. is another Bain acquisition that later went bankrupt, killing over a thousand jobs -- but not before Bain made $7.4 million in profit.

In fairness to Romney, he did first consider depositing the money with Jon Corzine but wisely considered other options.

David Axelrod scolds Cory Booker on Bain Capital ​

Posted by Chris Cillizza
05/21/2012 TheWashingtonPost

President Obama’s chief political strategist hammered comments made by Newark Mayor Cory Booker regarding former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney’s work at Bain Capital as “wrong”, the latest attempt by the White House to get out from under the burgeoning controversy.

“In this particular instance he was just wrong,” Axelrod told NBC’s Andrea Mitchell — speaking about Booker’s defense of private equity firms. “There are specific instances here that speak to an economic theory that isn’t the right economic theory for the country.”

Here’s the full Axelrod interview from “Andrea Mitchell Reports”:

The most quoted speech at CPAC this year was Mitt Romney's, but my vote for the most significant goes to Grover Norquist's. In his charmingly blunt way, Norquist articulated out loud a case for Mitt Romney that you hear only whispered by other major conservative leaders.

They have reconciled themselves to a Romney candidacy because they see Romney as essentially a weak and passive president who will concede leadership to congressional conservatives:

All we have to do is replace Obama. ... We are not auditioning for fearless leader. We don't need a president to tell us in what direction to go. We know what direction to go. We want the Ryan budget. ... We just need a president to sign this stuff. We don't need someone to think it up or design it. The leadership now for the modern conservative movement for the next 20 years will be coming out of the House and the Senate.

The requirement for president?

Pick a Republican with enough working digits to handle a pen to become president of the United States. This is a change for Republicans: the House and Senate doing the work with the president signing bills. His job is to be captain of the team, to sign the legislation that has already been prepared.

This is not a very complimentary assessment of Romney's leadership. It's also not a very realistic political program: congressional Republicans have a disapproval rating of about 75%. If Americans get the idea that a vote for Romney is a vote for the Ryan plan, Romney is more or less doomed.

Norquist: Romney Will Do As Told

Romney it is.
