Mitt Romney is a Poor Choice to be a Presidential Contender

While Sarah Palin is being excoriated by the liberal media and the GOP establishment, it is rare to hear anything negative from the other potential GOP candidates planning to run for the presidency in 2012. There is a reason behind it. The media and the liberal establishment already have the ammo to attack the GOP contenders. It is only Sarah Palin that the Liberal elitist and the GOP establishment are very scared. Honestly, I'm glad the story of Romney came out. He is a prime example of a poor choice to lead this country. Most people will overlook one fault about the man, but not two. Mitt Romney destroyed Massachusetts by implementing Romneycare. Now, by understanding that Romney is a vicious businessman, his ideas will ruin this country rather than to improve it.

(NY Post) Likely Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has been out on the pre-campaign trail this month saying he is the man to get Americans back to work, despite a spotty jobs record while on Wall Street.

However, the former private equity firm chief's fortune -- which has funded his political ambitions from the Massachusetts statehouse to his unsuccessful run for the White House in 2008 -- was made on the backs of companies that ultimately collapsed, putting thousands of ordinary Americans out on the street. That truth if it becomes widely known could become costly to Romney, who, while making the media rounds recently, told CNN's Piers Morgan that "People in America want to know who can get 15 million people back to work," implying he was that person.

Romney's private equity firm, Bain Capital, bought companies and often increased short-term earnings so those businesses could then borrow enormous amounts of money. That borrowed money was used to pay Bain dividends. Then those businesses needed to maintain that high level of earnings to pay their debts. Majority of those companies end up in bankruptcy.

Romney said:

He was not involved in decisions to take distributions from two Bain Capital businesses that later failed. (New York Times, June 3, 2007)

“People in America want to know who can get 15 million people back to work.”

Romney did:

Owned a controlling interest in Bain Capital when it took payments from five companies that later failed.

Made fortunes by bankrupting five profitable businesses that ended up firing thousands of workers

If Romney Does Not Get the Prez Nomination, Romney Voters Would Vote for Obama

It is hard to imagine a second term for Obama, but Romney supporters would do just that if Romney doesn't get the Republican Presidential nomination. Romney supporters are a bunch of sore losers. I guess they haven't suffered enough under Obama. Let stupidity supersede logic and this country will never recover.

(PPP)- Our monthly look at the 2012 Republican Presidential field for November finds the same thing it it does every month- a very close four way race. This time around it’s Sarah Palin at 21%, Newt Gingrich at 19%, Mitt Romney at 18%, and Mike Huckabee at 16%. Ron Paul and Tim Pawlenty lead the second tier with 5% each, followed by John Thune at 3% and Mitch Daniels at 2%.

-Huckabee voters give Palin a 64/27 favorability, Gingrich a 53/23 one, and Romney a 59/26 one. That makes the net favorability for the other candidates an average +33.

-Palin voters give Huckabee a 52/19 favorability, Gingrich a 42/38 one, and Romney a 40/35 one. That makes the net favorability for the other candidates an average +14…

-Romney voters give Huckabee a 46/25 favorability, Palin a 46/36 one, and Gingrich a 41/42 one. That makes the net favorability for the other candidates an average +10.

The Gingrich and Huckabee voters are going to be fine if someone else gets nominated. They’re pretty happy with all the other candidates. The Romney folks perhaps are a greater concern for Republicans because some of them might actually vote for Obama if a Gingrich or Palin gets nominated. The Palin folks aren’t all that big on the other candidates either- the chances of them voting for Obama seem quite slim but might they sit home or throw some of their votes to a conservative third party candidate if Romney wins the nomination?

Lowest ever: Obama job approval sinks to 39%, as even Democrats' support melts away

(Los Angeles Times) Obama's job approval rating as calculated by the Zogby Poll has now sunk to 39%, a new low for his 22-month presidency that began with so much hope and excitement and poll numbers up around 70. As recently as Sept. 20, his job approval was 49%.

Obama now trails in hypothetical 2012 matchups against Republicans Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich and the next Bush, Jeb.

And, oh, my! Lookee here! Obama has even fallen into a statistical tie with none other than Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor.

How embarrassing that is because other polls have shown a majority of Americans believe she is unqualified for the presidency. So it appears many have now decided, on second thought after a nearly two-year test drive, Obama looks that way too.
