Romney should deny his success. He should cater to the 50% who pay no taxes with more entitlements and food stamps than Obama. Let's turn a positive into a negative. Romney should deny his success at Bain Capital let's call it vulture capitalism even though he hired 100 of thousands of jobs. Obama invested taxpayer monies in green energy and benefited his crony contributors even those these companies were of junk bond status. Something Romney would never had done.

To stay in touch with the people Romney should party on dude like the GSA! More conventions, more appointments, more government, more Obama money, and more failed foreign policy.

The conservative base, comprising Tea Party and Evangelicals, is headed to the lobby for intermission and might not be back for the rest of the movie.

Ron Paul for President. Champion of the people, man of integrity. Your word is your honor, and enslavement is never an option.

FIVE OBJECTIVES FOR ROMNEY: LIE, LIE, LIE, LIE, LIE.

WILLARD MITT ROMNEY’S STRAWMAN—A WILLFUL ACT OF DECEPTION TO HIDE THE TRUTH.

Romney says that people are jealous of him because of his “success,” and that he wants to teach America how to succeed and grow the economy. I say first, rubbish! No one is jealous of Romney’s success—indeed more humble and benevolent highly successful men such as Warren Buffet and Bill Gates would never say something like that! Romney doesn’t feed any of us, and hardly any of us would ever benefit from his success unlike what the world benefits from Warren and Gates. And no one should recommend “vulture capitalism” as a virtue in American economic experience! Before Romney could start to teach us anything, he should first tell us precisely how many jobs he created as a vulture capitalist—and how many families women, men and children he put to incredible misery and destruction as a result? How come he practised reverse Robin Hood on the poor and middle class when he was at Bain Capital? We should ask him: how come Massachusetts was the 47th in job creation when he was governor there? On his patriotic spirit, if he loves America so much as he claims, how come he never cared to serve while his compatriots were in the trenches of Vietnam? He went off to Paris. How come, even now a lot of his cash is stashed up in foreign bank accounts, away from the prying eyes of IRS agents? He wouldn’t, as Presidential candidate release ten years of his tax returns as his father in a similar situation. How come he paid so little taxes when America today is in great financial needs to rebuild, to revamp its educational system, to repair the roads he drives on and the airways services he frequently uses? For people like Willard, America is good so long as it helps you to make all the money you want; but how about giving something back to America—say in good proportion for things America urgently needs to do? How come he is questioning the value of Harvard University education simply because Obama, a “commoner” managed to go there—yet he (Romney) too, and many of his siblings are Harvard alumni? How come indeed! Strange world of Willard Mitt Romney! Mr. Romney, level with us. Is it too much to ask?
