TOP TEN LIST: Why Mitt Romney Might lose the election )

images (1) Why is it that Mitt Romney is so unlikable to so many people, and why is it he might lose the election. A  lot is being said in the liberal news media about Mitt Romney not being "likable" or that  he doesn't "relate well" to people. Frankly, I struggled to  understand why the liberal media were saying this. So I set out to try to see what the reason was and  after much research, I have come up with a Top Ten List to explain this "unlike ability."

 

 

 

 .. Top Ten Reasons To Dislike Mitt Romney:

[1]  Drop-dead, collar-ad handsome with gracious, statesmanlike aura.   Looks like every central casting's #1 choice for Commander-in-Chief.

[2] Been married to ONE  woman his entire life, and has been faithful to her, including through her bouts with breast cancer and MS.

[3] No scandals or skeletons in his closet. (How boring is that?)

[4] Can't speak in a fake, southern, "black preacher voice" when necessary.

[5] Highly intelligent. Graduated cum laude from both Harvard Law School and Harvard Business School...and by the way, his academic records are NOT sealed.

[6] Doesn't smoke or drink alcohol, and has never done drugs, not even in the counter-culture age when he went to college.  Too square for today's America?

[7] Represents an America of "yesterday", where people believed in God, went to Church, didn't screw around, worked hard, and became a SUCCESS!

[8] Has a family of five great sons....and none of them have police records or are in drug rehab.  But of course, they were raised by a stay-at-home mom, and that "choice" deserves America's scorn.

[9] Oh yes.....he's a MORMON. We need to be very afraid of that very strange religion that teaches its members to be clean-living, patriotic, fiscally conservative,
  charitable, self-reliant, and honest.

[10]  And one more point.....pundits say because of his wealth, he can't relate to ordinary Americans.   I guess that's because he made that money HIMSELF, as opposed to marrying it or inheriting it from Dad. Apparently, he didn't  understand that actually working at a job and earning your own money made you un-relatable to Americans. My goodness, it's a strange world, isn't it?

Working Background:

  • After high school, he spent 30 months in France as a Mormon missionary.

  • After  going to both Harvard Business School and Harvard Law School simultaneously, he passed the Michigan bar exam, but  never worked as an attorney.
  • In 1984, he co-founded Bain Capital a private equity investment firm, one of the largest such firms in the United States.

  • In1994, he ran for Senator of Massachusetts and lost to Ted Kennedy.

  • He was President and CEO of the 2002 Winter Olympic Games.

  • In 2002, he was elected Governor of the State of Massachusetts where he eliminated a 1.5 billion deficit.

Some Interesting Facts about Romney:

  • Bain Capital, starting with one small office supply store in Massachusetts, turned it into Staples; now over 2,000 stores employing 90,000 people. Bain  Capital also worked 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.

  • He was an unpaid volunteer campaign worker for his dad's gubernatorial campaign 1 year.

  • He was an unpaid intern in his dad's governor's office for eight years.

  • He was an unpaid bishop and state president of his church for ten
      years.

  • He was an unpaid President of the Salt Lake Olympic Committee for three years.

  • He took no salary and was the unpaid Governor of Massachusetts for four years.

  • He gave his entire inheritance from his father to charity.

  • Mitt Romney is one of the wealthiest self-made men in our country but has given more back to its citizens in terms of money, service, and time than most men.

  • And in 2011 Mitt Romney gave over $4 million to charity, almost 19% of his income.... Just for comparison purposes, Obama gave 1% and Joe Biden gave $300 or .0013%.

Mitt Romney is Trustworthy:

  • He will show us his birth certificate

  • He will show us his high school and college transcripts.

  • He will show us his social security card.

  • He will show us his law degree.

  • He will show us his draft notice.

  • He will show us his medical records.

  • He will show us his income tax records.

  • He will show us he has nothing to hide.

Mitt Romney's background, experience and trustworthiness show him to be a great leader and an excellent citizen for President of the United States. You may think that Romney may not be the best representative the Republicans could have selected. At least I know what religion he is, and that he won't desecrate the flag, bow down to foreign powers, or practice fiscal irresponsibility. know he has the ability to turn this financial debacle that the current regime has gotten us into. 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.

The sad thing is this: The American people no longer want honest hard working truthful politicians, they want some one who will promise them something for nothing, as Obama did, and even though it is not possible for anyone, particularly some one like Obama to keep those promises, they voted for him and will still vote for him in this election. Just about 1/2 of the voters will vote for Obama because they are looking for a hand out and not a hand up. Until the “something for nothing idea” and the cases of the “Give me s” leaves the American people, The United States Of America will continue to fail as a nation.

WHO WILL YOU VOTE FOR: The Mormon Or The Make Believe Christian?

images (2)

 

I found this article on the internet and to me it lays out the issues for those conservatives who do not want to vote for Mitt Romney because of his Mormon faith, but do not want to see Obama get re-elected so he can finish changing America into what he wants, a 3rd world socialist (communist) based country with Shari Law. You need to take the time to read all this article and when you do it should be clear which of the three options to take in this upcoming election. The credit for this article goes to Jim Miller, from Deep in the Heart of Texas.

 

What is the Conservative Christian To Do In The 2012 Presidential Election? There are three possible options that result in only two certain outcomes. 

First option and outcome:  Vote for and re-elect the Hope and Change candidate that supposedly cares about the poor and uses the words of the Bible as his justification for massively increasing spending on social welfare programs.  If Christians turn out and vote for President Obama then he will be re-elected.

Second option and outcome:  Vote for the rich, capitalist, candidate that promises to return America to its original foundations to a less centralized government with more personal freedoms.  This candidate’s religion even denies the Orthodox Christian view of the Trinity.  Mormonism even espouses that Satan and Jesus are spirit brothers and that God had physical relations with Mary.   If Christians turn out and vote in masse for Governor Romney despite his religion, then he will be elected.

Third option and outcome:  Christians abstain from voting because each candidate is unworthy; Obama wants gay marriage and Romney’s religion denies that Jesus is Lord above all.  In good conscious Christians stay home from the polls.  That results again in the first outcome.

Reflecting on the first option:  If anyone thinks that President Obama is a Christian then let the record speak for itself.  This is a man who for 20 years sat under the hate-filled preaching a Rev Jeremiah Wright, a Black Liberation Theology hate monger.  I wonder if Rev Wright ever preached on “Loving God and Loving your neighbor as yourself” which Jesus said is the Greatest Commandment (Matthew 22)?  Radio talk show host and former political candidate Alan Keyes, even offered further evidence in 2004 that then Senate Candidate Obama was not a Christian.  Keyes said that even “Jesus Christ would not vote for Obama” due to his far left views on abortion and infanticide while serving in the Illinois State Senate.

President Obama recently showed more of his so-called “Christian” faith in by claiming to have compassion on same sex individuals who want to have the same rights of marriage that heterosexuals have enjoyed from the beginning of civilization.  The President even sighted the Golden Rule in his decision.    We must be reminded however that even Satan quoted scripture when he tempted Jesus (Matthew 4).   Similarly, the President quoted scripture to justify his position. Unfortunately his position is inconsistent with the whole counsel of Holy Writ.  This misreading of the Bible is what the Great Reformer, Martin Luther, warned when he said that “Scripture does not have a wax nose” and is not to be twisted into anything we want it to say. Seems this was just a bone to the Gay Rights crowd so they would continue to donate to the President’s re-election effort.

President Obama has lead from behind on this economic recovery and lead from the front increasing this catastrophic debt burden he has imposed upon our children and grandchildren.  Unfortunately these massive tax increases will choke the growth of this economy and our power as a world leader will consequently diminish. When he promised to change this country, he meant what he said.  In my view, the President is actually a statist.  His god is actually the all-powerful government bent on subjugating a free people under his rule.

Reflecting on the second option:   So what would a Mormon presidency look like?  There are sixteen Mormons serving in the US Congress. Mormons are known for their abstentions from alcohol, tobacco, caffeine. I served in the military with many Mormons and they were some of the finest officers dedicated to the defense of America that I ever served with.  Other Mormon friends I have are some of the hardest working and most patriotic people I know.  Devout Mormons are law abiding citizens of very higher moral standards and committed to their families. Governor Romney and his family could be characterized in this way.

Would Mormon theology or a Mormon President be counter to the preservation of our Great Republic?   First, we must understand that Mormon theology is a “works based” religion.  I think we could infer that good works accomplished by any group (feeding the hungry, blood drives, coats for kids, etc…) are beneficial to our society as a whole. The disagreement is in the motivation for doing good works. The theological discussion with Mormons or other religions is whether good works can justify our standing on Judgment Day before God Almighty. What is not in dispute is the “good” in the term good works.

Second, would Governor Romney be the mouthpiece of the Mormon Church or a good President of all the people? As President, Romney promised to pursue a conservative, pro-growth economic agenda. His number one economic priority would be to grow the economy — helping to create good jobs, raise incomes and preserve American strength. Just as President Kennedy was the first Catholic president and did not act as the American Pope, there is no reason to think that a Romney Presidency would rule from Salt Lake City.

Reflecting on the third option: Christians staying home from the poles or voting for a third party candidate keeps the status quo in place with Harry Reid running the Senate and conservatives being demonized in the House for wanting to reign in the debt. Worse than that, if we don’t overturn the Affordable Care Act we become complicit in furthering the continued slaughter of the unborn under the ruse of “Women’s Health Coverage.” This government’s intervention, never seen before in the history of this Great Republic, mandating that faith based organizations participate in this slaughter is unconscionable. Think of it this way, we have a modern King Herod in office that is determined to slaughter the unborn and whose ultimate goal is power, total power. (Historical note-around the time of Jesus birth King Herod ordered the slaughter of boys two years old and under in Israel to try to kill Jesus.)

What is a Conservative Christian supposed to do? Christians should be all about sharing the message of God’s love through Jesus Christ. We are also called in the New Testament to be good citizens. Therein lays the dilemma, because the world of politics is a human endeavor run by sinners, of which I am one. Christians also understand the reality of the evil that exists around us. Jesus called us to be “Salt and Light” to a dark and lost world. Therefore I should do everything in my power to advance the kingdom of Christ and counter evil. Therefore I have to vote and I have to vote against the current President’s policies.

In light of the recent attacks on our embassies in the Middle East and North Africa, it seems that the current President is more content with appeasing the Muslim Brotherhood than standing strong against the regimes that want to do us harm. Just as I am justified in killing an intruder that comes into my house and seeks to do my family harm, our country is also justified in defending itself against militant Islam that is hostile to our values and the freedoms we enjoy in the West. Justification for Christians to take up arms can be found in what is called Just War Theory.

If Christians cannot vote in good conscious for the Romney/Ryan ticket due to the Mormon connection, please consider stopping the modern King Herod by voting against President Obama.  That would be the “R” selection on the ballot!

THE WAKE UP CALL: Putting The Ducks In a Row.

obj020-ducks-row In my opinion the up coming election  is more than just the issue about jobs, although that is the first on the list with most Americans, and which candidate is more likely to return us to full employment. We know it will not be Obama because he has already had four years. Most Americans and registered voters would agree, they are a lot of major concerns that this country will have to face up to real soon. We  have major problems such as high unemployment that, for some reason {and that reason is Obama} will not go away, There is the energy crisis which I will never understand. We have so much oil, natural gas, and coal here that it would last till the world ends. Instead of using those resources we are still dependant on middle east oil. Coal mines and electric plants that are fueled by coal are being shut down when the American tax payer really needs lower cost for their electric. Why is the Obama administration doing this? It is because he wants to destroy this nation as we know it. Anybody that reads his books on his life and see the things that he have done doing his term in office can plainly see he wants to bring America {as we know it} down and build his own America, like he wants it.

The boarder with Mexico has become a major problem. The problem become more worse everyday The country can not allow this much longer. The illegal problem has become a burden to all Americans, to our heath system, social security, correctional systems, the food stamp program, and the list could go on. All these programs are being handed out to the illegals while there is no income tax, Medicare tax, of anything else being paid in by them. Most of their money that they earn here is going back to Mexico to help that countries economy while the American worker struggles. This administration for some reason will not put into effect a plan to stop this.What is wrong with that picture. I call it “Obama at work” to destroy and dismantle this country. He is succeeding too.

The outsourcing of jobs to China and Mexico when these jobs should be here for the millions of unemployed Americans. This goes on everyday. Not only is China taking our jobs we are become more and more in debt to them every passing day and nothing is done to stop it or correct the problem. You can not look at a piece of clothing or anything else anymore that does not have the “made in China” label. We need to bring these jobs back to America and once again Obama does nothing. It is time for a change folks.

Soon we will have to face the growing danger of Iran and the nuclear bomb they are building. Most Americans realize talking is just not cutting it. This problem must be dealt with or else our friend, Israel, will not be the only country in danger.  We have the problem of Muslims wanting to take over our public schools, the courts, and the government. According to Obama, as he said in his book, if the winds start to blow I will side with the Muslims. So we know he will not do nothing about this problem either.  It is plain to see that he is already siding with the Muslims by his anti Israel stance. His stance on the Muslim issue, here in this country, is no better. Even though he claims to be a Christian his fruits do not show it. In his heart he is for all intent and purposes a Muslim. He sees his job as not one that wants to improve America, but one who wants to destroy the American way of life as we know it. Wake up America!

So why are Democrats planning to make their convention a celebration of abortion and gay marriage? They are making it a important event. The Obama campaign has given a new and prominent surrogate role to Sandra Fluke. If you remember she was the  Georgetown law student and an activist for the left who came to notoriety after Rush Limbaugh called her a bad name because of her great activity and energetic promotion of taxpayer-financed contraception. To me he could have used more better words, but, with all respect, he hit the nail on the head. This is who the democrats want to speak at their convention. Abortion will be one of the head liners. There will be a lot of talk about abortion, all of it from one side. But not all Democrats agree with Fluke and her fellow speakers when it comes to abortion; in May of this year, we can see the Gallup Pole found 34 percent of Democrats identify themselves as pro-life. And, perhaps even more important to President Obama's re-election prospects, 47 percent of independents describe themselves as pro-life. Why would a party that wants to attract the largest possible number of votes this November make such extravagant pronouncements on abortion, knowing that one-third of its own members and nearly one-half of independents disagree?

Besides the abortion issue. Democrats have already decided to show support for gay marriage as a plank in their party's platform. The party's 15-member platform drafting committee unanimously voted to do so last month after hearing testimony from advocates of gay marriage. They did not invite any opponents of gay marriage to testify, suggesting that when it comes to writing a platform, the Democratic process is not entirely democratic. Just like Obama, it is his way or no way! The Democrats are holding their convention in a swing state, North Carolina, where voters recently approved a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. So the democrats are just thumbing their nose at the North Carolina state. So once again their is no respect with the leaders of this party.It is their way or no way.

The rational design behind all this is that Barack Obama can't be re-elected without winning big among women. Obama hopes to milk out a victory by making a the women, of this country, nervous about voting Republican in the last weeks of the campaign. “The Obama campaign believes that winning the women over will decide the election. But not all of this is a rational or logical calculation. His math is off. If you stand on the floor of a Democratic convention when a speaker is discussing abortion, you can and will feel the depth of the emotion that many Democrats feel on the issue. Conservatives like to say abortion is a liberal sacrament. I say it is a sin and it stinks in the nostrils of God. Maybe that's going too far, but it is still a very important issue when something means so much to a group of people, they can easily convince themselves that it means that much to others, too.

Most voters will say over and over again, and overwhelmingly, that they want their president to focus and put his efforts on the real problems facing this country. That is the economy, and the creation of jobs. By choosing to turn the spotlight on abortion, homosexuals, and gay marriage at their national convention, a person can plainly see and get the impression that the majority of the Democrats have got their priorities all mixed up. Sandra Fluke may draw headlines, but does she really represent what voters think is most important? I don’t think so. They have to use this platform because they have no other platform to run on. There is nothing good to say about their man, Obama.

At the Republican convention we heard speakers put forth a call for new jobs, a better economy, tax cuts, removing burdens from companies such as added taxes and last but not least repealing the Obama Care mandate. We heard cries to our maker for help. There was no platform for abortion or gay marriage. We heard none of this. what we heard was all about jobs, energy, the nations security, Returning to our founding principles. We need this and at this time we need this party to be in control of our government.

Finally in closing I want to talk on the spiritual side of the problems facing us as a nation. We need to return to the old paths which was good enough for our mothers and fathers. We need Christ in the center of all we do and try to do, to make things better and to make them work. We need to return unto God and He will return unto us. We need to put Him back in the class room, the courts, our government, and most important in our churches. We need to elect leaders who we can follow as they follow Christ.

YOU LOSE: My Advice for those Who Won’t Support Romney

12573285-3d-you-lose-crossword-over-white-backgroundFor those of you who are are not going to vote in November, or if you do vote, you plan to write in Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul, or some other person. That is the same thing as giving a vote to Obama. You say that you are voting your “conscience” as if people who are voting for Barack Obama or Mitt Romney are not voting their “conscience.” I’m going to vote my conscience, and I’m going to vote for Mitt Romney, not necessarily because that is who I wanted to run against the Obamanation that is in the White House now, but because we need to stand behind whoever it is that runs against Obama. Are there things I don’t like about Romney? You bet there are. But there are more things I don’t like about Barack Obama. He is destroying our country right before Our eyes. I wanted Newt Gingrich to run against Obama because I thought that he was the best candidate to beat Obama. That never came to be. So I will go with the man who is running against Obama. That happens to be Romney. I will give him my full support!

To me it is plain and simple to see, if we want Obama out of the White House, If we do not want to see another four years of him destroying this country, if we want our county restored to some degree, then we need to vote for Romney. If Obama gets another four years you will not be able to vote for anybody again because he has so many executive orders set in place that they will never be another election if that is what he and his liberal friends want. Another four years of this man and there will be no more America as we know it. It is heading fast in that direction now. Obama is a liar, a deceiver, a destroyer of all that is good, and he has the persona  and the look of all evil. He can not tell the truth.

Obama claim’s to be a Christian, but anybody, with the least bit of sense knows that is not so. He lies! If you do not want the sounds of Muslim’s being called to prayer to replace  the church bells in this country {they can have their call to prayer, but not replace the church bells}, if you still want your freedom of religion, if you women still want to keep your rights, then you had better know what to do on election day. Romney might be a Mormon, but he is not a Muslim. He is not out to destroy this country. I do not go along with some of the things about the Mormon religion, but I am 100% against the Muslim religion, not because I hate the Muslim people, but it is because I believe Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world. I do not need seventy virgins to meet me in heaven. My eyes will be fixed on my Savior as I go through those gates. Never in my life have I looked at a man as a Baptist, Catholic, Pentecostal, Wesleyan, Nazarene, Methodist, or any other. I look to see if they are a follower of Jesus The Christ and His teaching. I look for the good in people, not the bad. The problem is I see no good in Obama, just evil.

If you are a voter like me who is 100% against Obama and want better for our country then you need to wake up and see how important it is to get this man out of the White House and send him back to where he was born, where ever that is. There will be other elections, but the next four years is critical. Please think before you vote! God Bless all and God Bless The United States Of America!
