Mitt Romney: A good man. The right fight........

When much of what passes for a political intelligentsia these days predicted that the selection of Rep. Paul Ryan meant certain death on the third rail of Medicare and Social Security, Mitt Romney brought the fight to the Democrats and made the rational, persuasive case for entitlement reform that conservatives have so desperately needed. The nation listened, thought about it — and on Election Day, Mitt Romney carried seniors by a wide margin. And it’s safe to say that the entitlement discussion will never be the same.

Thank-you Mitt & Paul....

This is exactly how I feel....

I’ll admit it — Mitt wasn’t my guy in the primaries. But when he secured the nomination, I put our few ideological differences aside to join him in supporting the many other things we have in common. As the campaign went on, he grew on me — especially after he plucked Ryan from national obscurity and confronted serious issues lesser men would have never touched (ahem, Barack). He ran a good campaign, a clean campaign. While President Obama disgraced his office with mudslinging class warfare and immature name-calling, Romney kept his eye on the bigger picture: the future of our country.

The closing argument ........

Let me recap: If you’re in Brooklyn or Bayonne, Obama said he’s got your back. Just like he had Ambassador Steven’s back in Benghazi. At least, he has your back until Las Vegas calls.

That’s one path, one choice. Rely on Big Government -- expect the central planners and bureaucrats in Washington to know what’s best for you and to deliver it.

The other choice is the one America has historically made. That’s the choice of self-reliance, of neighbor helping neighbor, of people coming together of their own free will to help out when needed. That’s the path of the Red Cross, Mercy Chefs, Catholic and Lutheran Social Services, the Salvation Army and a host of other organizations who deliver more relief to people who need it faster and more efficiently than the government ever could.

Media Slammed Mitt's Food Donations, Now Sandy Victims Plead for... Food Donations......

The Old Media spent several days last week attacking Mitt Romney for his October 30 event in Ohio where he presided over supporters coming together to donate money, clothing, and food for the victims of Hurricane Sandy. Then the food donations were ridiculed. Yet now ABC News is reporting that victims of the storm are calling for food donations from the public.

Paul Ryan Draws Biggest Solo Crowd in Liberal ......

With a new American Future Fund poll showing Mitt Romney with a one-point lead in liberal Minnesota, Paul Ryan went to the state President Barack Obama won by more than 10 percentage points in 2008 and drew a crowd of nearly 9,000 people on Sunday.

Romney draws crowd estimated around 30,000 in Pennsylvania.....

I couldn’t get an exact figure for the crowd but Romney campaign folks said that 32,800 had registered for the event and that looked plausible. Many were bused in for the event. Romney said the crowd size was proof the late momentum was breaking his way.

Going out on a limb: Romney beats Obama, handily.....

Fundamentals usually prevail in American elections. That's bad news for Barack Obama. True, Americans want to think well of their presidents and many think it would be bad if Americans were perceived as rejecting the first black president.

But it's also true that most voters oppose Obama's major policies and consider unsatisfactory the very sluggish economic recovery -- Friday's jobs report showed an unemployment uptick.

Also, both national and target state polls show that independents, voters who don't identify themselves as Democrats or Republicans, break for Romney.

The Case for Mitt Romney .....

A President Romney would be utterly unburdened by messianic expectations. If he’s elected, the American public will have hired him to do a job, not to save the planet or redeem our politics. Thankfully. We’ve had enough self-styled heroic government to last us a good long time.

'We must rip this fledgling tyranny out before its roots grow strong and indestructible' .....

I have been literally inhaling every bit of history I can devour over the past few years....and the pattern emerging is frightening. 

It's not something that "just happened" with the election of Obama. It's the man behind the curtain that's finding it harder to hide. The Progressive Agenda will end this country as we know it.

I'm sure all of us have our beefs with our government - both Federal and Local. I'm sure we have things that drive us nuts about our Country. But when you look out your door, and know that YOU as a citizen control everything....!
Not Congress - YOU vote them in and out - 
Not the Senate - YOU vote them in and out....
Not the Presidency - Not a Thing YOU as an individual don't control! It's amazing. 

I can get up every morning and write about what I think...me....little Ol' ME. Nobody can stop me. 

Even those whose vile drivel permeates our lives....they too are protected. Thank god....

God - there's another one they are trying to make go away. Though I am not religious myself....Religion has a deep meaning in our land. It's free expression and devotion must be protected. The seperation of Church and State started in a LETTER. Not the Constitution...a letter from Thomas Jefferson having an intellectual debate. Something we don't do any longer.....

So yes...I DO believe this IS the Election of a lifetime.

Do I think Mitt is the end all - end all? No...

However, I believe he is a man of deep character and faith. Someone who will return respect to the Office and strength to our nation.....a man who truly understand that unleashing the PRIVATE Sector will make that "Sleeping Giant" rise again.

And if he veers off course...Well, we're out here to steer him back...

We are "We the People"....and we must TAKE our country back!

Let's keep the "Mittmenum" going and VOTE!

Our society has come upon a defining moment: We, the American people, have a choice to make regarding the kind of government we desire.

The shape and role of our federal government has been slowly changing over that last few decades and now we have reached a critical juncture. The implications of our decision could last for generations, changing the course of America and possibly wrecking what took our Founding Fathers a lifetime to painstakingly establish – a Republic that secured liberty and esteemed man’s natural rights above all else – something the world had never witnessed.

This decision point is just days away on November 6th, Election Day.

Ann Coulter: Romney is what the country needs now......

Whenever a service is provided by the government, a whole new set of agendas come into play. The No. 1 purpose of any government agency is to be a jobs program.

That’s why we can’t shut down unnecessary post offices.

That’s why Mayor Giuliani spent his entire second term in court battling “Campaign to Save Our Hospitals” as he tried to sell off rotting, empty public hospitals that were nothing but Democratic patronage dumps.

That’s why the Department of Education still has a program to fund schools at military bases long after those bases have closed and the children have gone.

Another paper tells Obama ‘We are just not that into you’.......

 Another paper tells Obama ‘We are just not that into you’; Nashua Telegraph endorses Romney

If Romney wins, Mass. can expect big changes ....

This sounds like ABSOLUTE Heaven to me!

Watch for major changes in Massachusetts government and politics in the event Mitt Romney becomes president.

A Romney win would mean U.S. Sen. John Kerry will not become secretary of state in a second Obama administration, a job he has coveted shamelessly. In addition, Romney surely will target Kerry for defeat if Kerry seeks reelection in 2014.

Kerry, in the last days of the presidential campaign, has not only gone out of his way to attack the former Massachusetts governor but has mocked him as well. Kerry played Romney in the three of President Barack Obama's television practice debates. After the third, Kerry said he needed an "exorcism" to get Romney out of his system. It was supposed to be a joke.

MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell Questions the Sincerity of Mitt Romney Collecting Donations for Superstorm Sandy Victims....

And...if The "One" did this - he'd be god-like.....

Yes, with major weather events like Superstorm Sandy, the Red Cross does put an emphasis on monetary donations. That’s probably why, along with tables “piled high with flashlights, batteries, diapers, toothbrushes, mini-deodorants, fleece blankets, cereal, toilet paper and canned goods,” the Romney event also featured two large TV screens encouraging supporters to text “REDCROSS” to 90999 and “make a $10 donation.”

Reporter: 'A 40% Chance [Romney] Says Something Stupid'.....

Romney's speaking at an event aimed at helping with the recovery from Hurricane Sandy in Ohio.

An Appeal to America's Heart....

Those who expect Ryan to sound like Ayn Rand -- an embarrassing past flirtation -- got something very different. Ryan quoted Abraham Lincoln on social mobility -- "an unfettered start and a fair chance in the race of life." Ryan identified with his old mentor Jack Kemp: "When he spoke of progress, he meant progress for everyone." And without quoting him, Ryan embraced Pope John Paul II's emphasis on the importance of healthy civic and religious institutions. It is a combination -- Lincoln, Kemp and Catholic social thought -- that must have set Rand aspinning.

At the same time, Ryan managed to probe one of Obama's sore spots -- the fact that he presides over the highest poverty rates in a generation.

Romney Turns Campaign Rally Into Disaster Relief Event....

Romney early today bagged plans to go to Lima and Dayton Tuesday, citing Hurricane Sandy. But his campaign just sent a release: Tomorrow’s event in Dayton is on – this time as a disaster relief event where Romney may make brief remarks. The campaign is encouraging attendees to bring disaster relief supplies to the event.

Green Bay Fans will Give up the Packers for Romney--but not for Obama....

Out of 106 Packers fans that I interviewed at Lambeau Field before game time this past Sunday, Romney took 62, Obama 37, and "Undecided" 7.*

54% of Obama supporters would not give up rooting for the Packers for the rest of this season if doing so would guarantee an Obama victory. Only 24% would take Obama over the Packers, with 21% undecided.

By contrast, Romney supporters were more eager to see their candidate elected. 54% of Romney supporters would give up the Packers for a season to ensure a Romney win, while only 32% would not, and 13% were undecided.

A Mitt Romney most of America doesn't know.....

Edward Albertian had been working for only a few weeks at his new job, managing the first two Boston-area Staples stores, when he got an unnerving call from his wife. As Staples staffed up, Albertian had been poaching talent from his old company, and his former boss was piqued.

That morning, a courier had delivered papers to Albertian's wife threatening them with eviction unless they immediately repaid the $250,000 loan from Albertian's former company that they had used to buy their home.

A few days later the couple, with their newborn son and 2-year-old daughter in tow, were invited to Staples' Watertown headquarters and found themselves sitting across from Mitt Romney, whose company, Bain Capital, had invested money in Staples. He had heard about their predicament from the chain's co-founder, Tom Stemberg.
