Okay, normally I do not get into sharing my 'political' beliefs with people. Just makes me feel uncomfortable. I do not go looking to engage others in debates, and I simply do not want to look at people I may really like, differently because I may or may not agree with their political choices. Nor do I want to wonder if they view me differently because of mine. I do not spend hours pining over our political candidates and who they are. I should. I know. But I don't. Let's face it, time is a huge factor to me, and this kind of 'research' just isn't at the top of the list, ya know?
Well, now it is! I'm afraid, therefore, I want to know more, so much more. Although my mind was already made up three years ago, I now want to 'do' more. Mitt Romney has been the clear choice in my mind, was during the last election cycle, and is this one as well. Yes, not everyone will share my opinion, however, I feel the need to share. And since I am too coward to publicly 'wave banners', blogging about it is an easy out for clearing my conscience and justifying to myself that I've done what I can.
Our country was shocked at the election of a black president who cropped up out of nowhere to win the hearts of many many. I'm certainly NOT a prejudiced person, but the general shock that a black man was elected, bewildered the masses. They never took the time to vote, because 'a black man will NEVER win the election to be President of the United States of America.' Well, complacency has led our dear, blessed nation closer and closer to destruction from within, closer to socialism and everything our country was NOT built on. I have nothing against the color of the man who now leads us. I do have huge issues with the fact the he spent years, and raised his children in, a congregation that was teaching to hate all white Americans with a violent vengeance. The vulgar and hanous nonsense of his beliefs are appalling. He spent years studying and practicing Islam. Not an offense, simply NOT what our country was founded upon. He has driven us further and further into the debtor's noose and further and further from love of God and country.
I am scared. Yes I am. I have done some of my own researching, some of my own praying, and some of my own things to understand why middle America is suffering so greatly, so painfully and so quickly. We can come back from the brink of socialism, back from the brink of bankruptcy and back from the brink of social intolerance's, if we do our heartfelt best to vote Obama out!
I pray that each and every American will do their part this election. Go to the polls well informed, take time to think and pray about our choices. God will not lead us astray, if we are seeking to do right.
Mitt Romney from his Mitt Romney 2012 Site: After going to both Harvard Business School and Harvard Law School simultaneously, he passed the Michigan bar, but never worked as an attorney. As a venture-capitalist, Romney�s first major business deal involved investing in a start-up office supply company with one store in Massachusetts that sold office supplies. That company, called Staples, now has over 2,000 stores and employs over 90,000 people. Romney or his company Bain Capital (using what became known as the �Bain Way�) would go on to perform the same kinds of business miracles again and again, with companies like Domino�s,Sealy, Brookstone, Weather Channel, Burger King, Warner Music Group, Dollarama, Home Depot Supply, and many others�Got your calculators handy? Let�s recap. Volunteer campaign worker for his dad�s gubernatorial campaign � 1 year. Unpaid intern in Governor�s office � 8 years. Mormon missionary in Paris� 2 years. Unpaid bishop and stake president for his church � 10 years. No salary as president of the Olympics � 3 years. No salary as MA governor � 4 years. That�s a grand total of 28 years of unpaid service to his country, his community and his church. Why? Because that�s the kind of man Mitt Romney is.
Who does not want a successful man, as the man to lead us. Who does not an honest man to lead us, who does not want a man with a heart full of love for America, to lead us? I do not know about you, but I want to be successful. I want everyone I know to be successful, therefore, we need a successful example. And not just 'we', the world needs a strong, tolerant, wise man to lead us.
I want to 'be subject to the laws of the land', when I know the laws are backed by a man who believes in equality and God.
