He's not my candidate by any means, but that's a pretty big stretch. His father was a well known Governor and former presidential candidate. People throughout his life can identify him and his associations. He was a well known business person and was well known 10 years ago when he successfully turned those winter olympics around. He ran for Senate almost 20 years ago, and then served a full term as Governor in Massachusetts...plus was well known and vetted running for President 4 years ago. No one knows diddly about what Obama was doing before 2004.
Who in God's Name is Mitt Romney?Here's a troublesome quote right off the top...
"Back in the thick of the 2008 Republican presidential race, I asked a captain of American finance what he had made of Mitt Romney when they were young colleagues at Bain & Company. “Mitt was a nice guy, a smart businessman, and an excellent team player,” he responded without missing a beat. Then came the CEO’s one footnote, delivered with bemusement, not pique: “Still, whenever the rest of us would go out at the end of the day, we’d always find ourselves having the same conversation: None of us had any idea who this guy was.”
Correct, we know a lot about Romney. We know his record as governor of Massachusetts was to the left of Bill Clinton. We know he gave us the original version of Obamacare. We know he raised taxes and fees $700 million. We know he signed gay marriage into law and was rabidly pro-abortion. We know he has flip-flopped on issue after issue.
Putting that sort of man in the White House will move the Republican party to the left and cripple the conservative movement for at least a decade.
