Demonizing Romney
American Thinker ^ | August 8, 2012 | Janice Shaw Crouse

Posted on 08/08/2012 11:13:40 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

If Hollywood put out a casting call for a leading man to play the president of the United States, Mitt Romney would fit the bill to perfection. In the looks department, he has a picture-perfect smile and perfect hair. In personality, he projects an air of confidence and leadership. His family life mirrors a 1950s television show -- still married to his beautiful first wife; father of five successful, handsome sons; grandfather to many adorable little children; has never smoked, imbibed alcohol, or done drugs; is devoted to his church, gives generously to charity, and personally helps those in need; and is an excellent provider. He has been a proven success in business. The time once was when his business acumen and ability to make money for his family -- and more importantly, for others -- would have made him a PR flack's dream candidate and a role model for the small business community.

But these are different days; these days, the "politics of personal destruction" is standard operating procedure for the Democratic Party and its allies, the so-called mainstream media.

--snip--

Mitt Romney knows what it takes to run a successful business and to take a floundering business and turn it around so that it is profitable and able to employ many people. Romney knows the rewards of hard work, long hours dedicated to a job, and the sacrifices necessary to become a success in business. How many communities across America would view someone like Romney as favorable if that person brought jobs and prosperity to their towns?

President Obama, on the other hand, recently told small business owners, "If you've got a business -- you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen."(continued)

Comments? Are you kidding? In short order there will be an flaming cadre of Romney haters stopping by to let all of us know that God is angry with those who would vote for a Mormon. Anyone at FR who would admit they will vote for Romney to get rid of little barry bastard commie will be deemed not a true conservative, a threat to the Republic, a general spoiler. And if you go so far as to any notion that might be thought of as a reason to vote for Romney instead of just against Obama, you will be ridiculed and chastised. Comments? Sjirley yer joking. Series, if it were only commnets that will spew forth ...

In a best case senario if Romney wins, he actually does nothing except go around “looking the part”.

MSM, doing their job diligently and relentlessly as Obama’s Reelection Committee, keeping any real issue of any substance pertaining to Obama’s miserable and despicable record as far away from the debate and discussion and the American people’s attention as possible.

Nobody is the perfect President, but he beats Obummer in every category so I will have no problem pulling the lever for Romney come Nov.

The polling groups seem to be intent on going hand in hand with the news media to make Romney look like the Devil incarnate. All I know is that whatever faults Mitt has, he is NOT Obama. Obama is a communist or maybe worse and I do NOT want him as president anymore (actually I didn’t want him as president in the first place).

The Republicans have always needed a Teflon(R) candidate, and Romney is almost the living likeness of Ward Cleaver. The Democrats will find some tiny detail and harp away at it. They are good at that. George Bush was called stupid and because he never fought back, the label managed to stick. Today, Bush can’t argue the point, it is now a given, in the minds of most Americans, thanks to the Democrat Media.

They did the same to Sarah Palin. One liberal friend said Sarah Paln was as dumb as dirt. I told him he better not talk about her that way if we were to remain friends. But somehow they try to paint the narrative that the conservative is stupid and the liberal is sooooo smart. The Romney Gaffes story that was tried in the leadup to the Olympics didn’t work that well, but rest assured, that is the most likely place to make the mud stick, if they can’t find somewhere else. Selective editing of tape can make anybody look stupid, and the liberals own all of the tape.

He’s a demon because he chose the wrong family to be born into. Too rich and too Mormon.

Cannot really chastise the Hollywood left for saying what some freepers are saying, not only about Romney, but also about people who intend to support Romney against 0bama. I have never heard any one in Hollywood call Romney and Romney voters satanists. Maybe Cher or Rosanne Barr.

the liberals own all of the tape

Including the one showing obama praising his terrorist buddy, Rashid Kahlidi, at a 2003 banquet in Chicago.

Boo. Hoo.

Too bad Romney has dissed and dismissed, ignored entirely and blown off conservatives and all devout Christians with firm intent to let them know it, making it perfectly clear that he shall keep his best finger stuck firmly in our eye, to remind us that we have been dispatched from the beginning, not needed, as he flounders for ground in the swing states for their electoral votes, which will decide this thing.

We are the legs of this party and could have been of some small assistance in shouting back at his critics, but instead will respond in kind, by giving TO him exactly as good as we get FROM him. But then, the GOPE knew this already. They are going after liberals for the party and silencing the leggy base, except for the fearful and wobbly, who have assented to go along for the RINO ride to the political ovens awaiting.

Several months ago, the RATS themselves admitted that their main tactic in this election was to trash the opponent as they had no positive record to run on.

Romney was certainly not my first or second choice, but despite the whining around hear, he did win. I was for Newt, and I hoped his maturation would have made him immune to his greatest weakness, but Romney was able to prod him into reacting and over-reacting, as the media wanted.

Newt was going fine until he lost it and "turned mean". That was what the media was waiting for and they nailed him.

Maybe Mitt is too clean for some on this forum, and yeah, he isn't the "principled conservative" that some profess to be, but he is one hell of a lot better than Obama and he is willing to undergo the media colonoscopy on the road to the White House.

The question is, are we grown-up and mature enough to accept the fact that while he isn't our first or even second choice, he is our candidate and now our job is to get him elected? On this, the jury is still out.

Romney is the guy on top of your wedding cake. He is as vanilla and non-extreme as a person could be. No wonder the libdems started their demonizing early.

And if a majority of voting Americans can’t see these obvious facts and remove the Marxist Community Organizer from the Oval Office then they deserve the country with which they’re left.

What?!? You're saying there are reasons for conservatives to vote for Romney besides getting rid of Barry? Do tell!

The "flaming cadre of Romney haters" are bought and paid for news outlets etc. that George Soros bought earlier this year and last to move his propaganda forward. The evisceration of President Bush was almost complete by the time Soros's propaganda was finished with him....Soros has not let up and here he goes again. He nearly buys a presidency and when he can't he vilifies the American; with the exception of a few and the Tea Party members of our congress and part of the Senate. This Propaganda War is now truly vicious....Good Americans are being pushed aside for the far left through newspapers and corrupt reporters. Be aware of this Propaganda against Mitt Romney or people like Allen West...good Americans that the Socialist/Communist in the country don't want...they know change for America and less power for them would be the outcome should anyone other than Obama win.
