I wouldn’t consider myself a Romney hater but I would go so far as to consider myself a Romney disliker.
With that established, I’ve no problem with you posting this article. Hey, even the alleged Romney haters should be happy and hopeful for Romney to right this nation’s ship of state.
Goodness it’s like God Himself handed Romney an opportunity to step up, to become a great figure in American history. For I do believe that history will depict Obama as a strange sort of Manchurian candidate who almost destroyed the nation.
Might not be for 300 years or so until this “correct” assessment finds it way into the history books but I believe it will.
The story almost writes itself....I write fiction myself.
A poor little Richie Rich type of fellow grows up nestled in an economically secure family. I don’t buy this nonsense of Romney being poor, he and Ann broke and washing clothes by hand.
But I don’t believe that Romney had everything handed to him either. His father was President of American Motors and those sorts of jobs pay well.
The family participated in a Christian faith very actively, albeit a curious faith. Still and so he learned the ten commandments and was basically a good person. Could be, early on, he felt he was destined to greatness. Maybe his family encouraged such feelings. This is no way a bad thing. Leaders, it is said, are either born to it (Jesus), ascend to it (I dunno, maybe Abraham) or it is thrust upon them (Dubya, with the 9-11 attacks).
It’s okay for an individual to feel destined to greatness, sometimes they are. So Romney moved where he wanted, used his money wisely to get elected positions he needed, straddled many lines, many say too many damn lines I get this.
Comes the time when McCain useless farts are out of the way and Romney’s turn has come.
We know all about the base not much liking the guy but the situation could not be better for Romney. For the base won’t vote for Obama, maybe a write-in, something, there’d been some damage.
Whatever the reason for voting or not-voting for Romney, America needs right now a leader to accept the mantle to save this country. It’s happened before-one word-Reagan.
It would appear that Romney’s one who ascended into leadership, it was his path in life right along.
Even Romney haters have not a single thing to gain by begrudging Romney success. Goodness knows the writing’s on the wall.
Romney could very well step up and be the real leader that God Blessed America with.
For now, I will vote for him and wish him well.
Another time and place I’ll write about what I think will happen if Romney does NOT become the leader America needs. That speculated result isn’t so bad either.
We will have two choices in November, and two choices only. Romney was my fourth choice in the primaries - but given the nature of the challenges we will face on January 20, Mitt Romney might well turn out to be the right man for the job ahead. Let's compare:
- Newt Gingrich. Does a career academic and legislator like Newt possess the executive skills necessary to effectively turn around and run the world's biggest business?
- Rick Santorum. Like Newt, Santorum is a legislator who's never had the sole responsibility for running a large organization.
- Herman Cain. Herman is a proven turnaround executive, with a record second only to Romney's. But he didn't win.
- Rick Perry. Perry is a well-proven governor of a very large state, but he didn't win, either.
- Sarah Palin. Also a governor, with a good but brief track record - but she chose not to run.
Mitt Romney is our candidate. No "Richie Rich" slurs can erase his record as one of America's top business executives and leading turnaround specialists. To a dispassionate observer without emotional ties to any of the losing GOP candidates (like mine to Gingrich and Cain), it might seem that Providence has provided the right man for the job in Mitt Romney. What is certain is that Barack Obama is not.
It's time to get started. Let's vote.
even the alleged Romney haters should be happy and hopeful for Romney to right this nation’s ship of state.

Sorry, but they’re not. Romney was not my choice, but the Conservative purists on here will bite their noses off to spite their faces. They are so pissed that their guy, or gal, didn’t get the nomination that they would rather vote for some Third Party dolt or stay home on Election Day, and see this nation go to hell in a hand basket than vote for someone who is not the ideal candidate but is better than the Marxist Muslim in the White House. Apparently, you have never been on the receiving end of the attacks from the Conservative purists on this website.
