And he fulfills all of our far right, un-Constitutional, constant worldwide war dreams!

...of course, he also ran to the left of Ted Kennedy, who was to the left of President Obama.

...aren't you voting for the guy who has had us in more countries now than W? :mmh:

I'm not saying Romney's great or anything, but the whole "He's a war-monger" seems kind of... flawed, seeing how Obama's been.

I haven't decided yet. I'm probably going to just not vote for President this year, or write someone in.

'Cause, you know...I'm not an Obama supporter.

He did say if he was elected war with Iran wouldn't just be an "option." If he becomes the next president he should sit down with Ahmadinejad. He can tell him about the end of the world theodemocratic world government run by the Mormon Church and Ahmadinejad can tell him about the coming 12th Imam who is going to rule the world for Muslims.:D Perfect fit.

Got your calculators handy? Let's recap.

Volunteer campaign worker for his dad's gubernatorial campaign 1 year.

Unpaid intern in Governor's office 8 years.

Mormon missionary in Paris 2 years.

Unpaid bishop and state president for his church 10 years.

No salary as president of the Olympics 3 years.

No salary as MA governor 4 years.

That's a grand total of 28 years of unpaid service to his country, his community and his church. Why? Because that's the kind of man Mitt Romney is!

And in 2011 Mitt Romney gave over $4 million to charity, almost 19% of his income....Obama gave 1%

Before we all bend down to kiss Romney's behind, let's explore some more facts about Mitt. I wonder how Romney became so rich if he never takes a salary? His net worth is $250 million! Even I would bypass a salary of $200-$300k a year if I already had over 1000 times that much. And whose money is he giving to charity anyway? He never made a salary according to you, so I guess he's giving away money that he never earned? Money means nothing to him because he never had to worry about it or work for it. He has no idea how life is in the working world and you're naive to think he gives a crap about you or me.

Ironic that you would bring up Obama's former preacher. He's black isn't he? Mitt wouldn't have such problem in his past as blacks were only permitted to be priests in LDS chuches starting in 1978.
Mormons mark '78 end of ban on black priests

Mitt Romney, a man for all the people*.

*Rich, white people anyway.

Some facts left out here or complete lies.

First, Biden and his wife make a fraction of what Obama and Romney make. He was the poorest US senator, and the only one with only 1 home.

The bulk of Romney's donations go as tithe's to the Mormon Church. According to his religion, this isn't really considered to be optional.

Lastly, it is an outright lie that Obama gave 1% to charity:

http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/president_obama_complete_return_2011.pdf

He gave nearly 22% of his adjusted gross income, Romney gave 19%:

So technically, Obama was more charitable then Romney.

How is this a fact about Romney?
[/indent]

It is a comparison. When Biden speaks of how much he cares about the little guy, this fact makes one wonder.

As a venture-capitalist
To refer to Bain as a venture capitalists is dishonest. There is a distict difference between venture capitalism and leveraged buyouts (LBOs). Venture capitalism is an investment in a company that incurs risk of loss. LBOs are a purchace of the company that incurs virtually no risk of loss. Venture capitalism increases a company's cash flow, while an LBO increases its debt.

Is Bain responsible for Staples success? That's hard to say, but what we do know with near certainty is that they came out of the experience further in debt than when they went in. Now maybe that increased debt caused them to operate in a more efficient way and that aided their success.

Here are some interesting facts…………………..

After going to both Harvard Business School and Harvard Law School simultaneously, he passed the Michigan bar, but never worked as an attorney.

As a venture-capitalist, Romney's first major business deal involved investing in a start-up office supply company with one store in Massachusetts that sold office supplies. That company, called Staples, now has over 2,000 stores and employs over 90,000 people.

Romney or his company Bain Capital (using what became known as the "Bain Way") would go on 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.

Got your calculators handy? Let's recap.

Volunteer campaign worker for his dad's gubernatorial campaign 1 year.

Unpaid intern in Governor's office 8 years.

Mormon missionary in Paris 2 years.

Unpaid bishop and state president for his church 10 years.

No salary as president of the Olympics 3 years.

No salary as MA governor 4 years.

That's a grand total of 28 years of unpaid service to his country, his community and his church. Why? Because that's the kind of man Mitt Romney is!

And in 2011 Mitt Romney gave over $4 million to charity, almost 19% of his income....Obama gave 1%

Joe Biden gave $300 or .0013%

This is real character vs....well you know what!

Romney has been selected as the best representative from the present field of Republicans and here's what we know. We know what religion he is, and that he won't desecrate the flag, bow down to foreign powers, or squander my money on vacations. We know he has the ability to turn this financial debacle that the "Spending President" has gotten us into. We didn't know that when Obama said he'd give us change, he meant nickels and dimes, and he would get the big bucks. 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 .

That's all negated by the undeniable fact that Romney put his dog on the roof of his car.. :D:D

Unpaid bishop and state president for his church 10 years.

Bishop and Stake, not state, president are not paid positions.

Edit: knew this was a chain email removed from this version, the birther ending:
And he’ll show you his:

1) Un-doctored Birth Certificate!
2) College transcripts!
3) Law degree!
4) Un-doctored Draft notice!
5) And un-doctored Social Security card, and what state it’s registered in!
Isn’t it time for a REAL CHANGE?

Unless of course you understand the state of the Bidens' finances.
