The following is supposdly true re Romney - what ya think
This is not likely to make the news.....
Mitt Romney and his real character!!!
Sometimes, this facet of Romney’s personality isn’t so subtle. In July 1996, the 14-year-old daughter of Robert Gay, a partner at Bain Capital, had disappeared. She had attended a rave party in New York City and gotten high on ecstasy. Three days later, her distraught father had no idea where she was. Romney took immediate action. He closed down the entire firm and asked all 30 partners and employees to fly to New York to help find Gay’s daughter. Romney set up a command center at the LaGuardia Marriott and hired a private detective firm to assist with the search. He established a toll-free number for tips, coordinating the effort with the NYPD, and went through his Rolodex and called everyone Bain did business with in New York, and asked them to help find his friend’s missing daughter. Romney’s accountants at Price Waterhouse Cooper put up posters on street poles, while cashiers at a pharmacy owned by Bain put fliers in the bag of every shopper. Romney and the other Bain employees scoured every part of New York and talked with everyone they could – prostitutes, drug addicts – anyone.
That day, their hunt made the evening news, which featured photos of the girl and the Bain employees searching for her. As a result, a teenage boy phoned in, asked if there was a reward, and then hung up abruptly. The NYPD traced the call to a home in New Jersey, where they found the girl in the basement, shivering and experiencing withdrawal symptoms from a massive ecstasy dose. Doctors later said the girl might not have survived another day. Romney’s former partner credits Mitt Romney with saving his daughter’s life, saying, “It was the most amazing thing, and I’ll never forget this to the day I die.”
So, here’s my epiphany: Mitt Romney simply can’t help himself. He sees a problem, and his mind immediately sets to work solving it, sometimes consciously, and sometimes not-so-consciously. He doesn’t do it for self-aggrandizement, or for personal gain. He does it because that’s just how he’s wired.
Many people are unaware of the fact that when Romney was asked by his old employer, Bill Bain, to come back to Bain & Company as CEO to rescue the firm from bankruptcy, Romney left Bain Capital to work at Bain & Company for an annual salary of one dollar. When Romney went to the rescue of the 2002 Salt Lake Olympics, he accepted no salary for three years, and wouldn’t use an expense account. He also accepted no salary as Governor of Massachusetts.
Character counts!! (and yes...that’s worth reading again!)

That’s bad.
Plus, he’s a Mormon.
You would do well to know what Romney actually subscribes to spiritually: http://www.waltermartin.com/cults.html
Thanx for posting that story. I hadn’t heard about it before so I did a search and found it listed as true on snopes.
And we have just heard from a paid online poster from the Romney campaign.
But I'm not liking his ideas for government. His healthcare initiative for Massachusetts is not something I want to live with. I don't want my choices about my body made by the government. The whole idea is repulsive to me and contrary to every precept of personal freedom I have held dear through my life.
I dread the spectre of crony capitalism in government health care.
I'm in California, so I have not yet witnessed first hand Romney's campaign style. From what I have seen and heard, I am beginning to have a deep dislike of the man. Kinda reminds me of Richard Nixon. While Nixon too had a keen mind, on balance his legacy was not as beneficial to the republic as I would like.
That's part of the reason I support Gingrich. HE GETS IT. He's not just a "fixer" -- he gets the big picture AND the long view.
Pushing Pro-abortionist material here on FR are you?
Yes it does, and Romney just showed his character with
Romney is not a character I want in the white house.
