"The Curious Case of Mitt Romney"

Mitt Romney has been called up from the major league political bullpen to unite the party and capture the presidency for the Tea Party (Republican Party is dead), but it might have been better to call Sarah Palin from the political minors leagues to challenge President Obama.

Mr. Romney is one of the most disingenuous, convoluted presidential candidates since Adlai Stevenson. The only difference between the two is Stevenson received the former Democratic nod twice. No matter how many times Romney portrays himself as identifying with the middle class, working poor and poor American; it’s just not genuine. It’s like the KKK trying to convince us that they are a civil rights group.

Mr. Romney lies like the very word will soon be extinct. I know some of you will say all politicians lie, but Romney is so bad at it that if President Nixon were alive he'd probably tell him to just stop! Romney, Nixon would say, is an embarrassment to the great political liars of all time. We all know about the Etch-A-Sketch debacle, but in reality his top adviser was in essence saying, "Americans are stupid and can barely remember what they did 20-minutes ago," so Romney will change his lies to, “I believe in Planned Parenthood, women are great and taking their birth control pills is wrong" and the people will believe him.

Mr. Romney says he knows how to create jobs. Really? As governor of Massachusetts the state ranked 47th out of the 50 states in job creation. As a Bain executive, he and his friends made millions while gutting companies as thousands of Americans became jobless with such ferocity that Charles Darwin would have been amazed. Since he announced that he would be running for president, Romney has not given an iota of a plan that would create jobs. He called Paul Ryan’s budget plan “Marvelous." Perhaps it’s because Ryan’s plan resembles the same playbook he used when he was at Bain; gut, strip, and take from those who are in need. Ryan’s plan is so bad Reagan would be offended by it. But that’s another story.

Mitt Romney as president would be a nightmare for foreign policy as he would disregard any sound advice from the Republic’s European allies. He says President Obama is trying to govern like the European nations. In addition, Romney, like the rest of his Tea Party supporters want wars so bad with Iran and North Korea that they can barely keep their glee of the possibility at bay. Do you think Mr. Romney would send any of his sons to fight in those wars? Yeah! Neither do I. President Obama studied and talked extensively with experts on foreign policy. Who is Romney speaking with? John "Bomb, Bomb Iran" McCain.

I’ve stated on several occasions that Mr. Romney is “woefully unqualified” to be President of the Republic and there are mounds of evidence to prove it. The most important evidence though, is that Mitt Romney is un-American.

When elected officials and want-to-be presidents put money in off-shore accounts so they don’t have to pay taxes and/or attack middle class, working poor and poor citizens it is un-American and those that partake in such activities have absolutely no place at the seat of the Republic's government.

Mitt Romney was called to be the Tea Party’s presidential hopeful and unite the party. By the end of November 6, 2012, he will be sent to the political minors leagues…with Sara Palin.
