A lot is being said in the media about Mitt Romney not being "likable"
or that he doesn't "relate well" to people. Frankly, we struggled to understand why. So after much research, we have come up with a Top Ten List to explain this "unlikablility."

Top Ten Reasons To Dislike Mitt Romney:

1. Drop-dead, collar-ad handsome with gracious, statesmanlike aura.
Looks like every central casting's #1 choice for Commander-in-Chief.
2. Been married to ONE woman his entire life,
and has been faithful to her, including through her bouts with
breast cancer and MS.
3. No scandals or skeletons in his closet. (How boring is that?)
4. Can't speak in a fake, southern, "black preacher voice" when
necessary.
5. Highly intelligent. Graduated cum laude from both Harvard Law School
and Harvard Business School ...and by the way, his academic records are NOT sealed.
6. Doesn't smoke or drink alcohol, and has never done drugs, not even
in the counter-culture age when he went to college.
Too square for today's America?
7. Represents an America of "yesterday", where people believed in God,
went to Church, didn't screw around, worked hard, and became a SUCCESS!
8. Has a family of five great sons....and none of them have police
records or are in drug rehab.
But of course, they were raised by a stay-at-home mom, and that
"choice" deserves America's scorn.
9. Oh yes.....he's a MORMON. We need to be very afraid of that very
strange religion that teaches its members
to be clean-living, patriotic, fiscally conservative,
charitable, self-reliant, and honest.
10. And one more point.....pundits say because of his wealth, he can't
relate to ordinary Americans.
I guess that's because he made that money HIMSELF.....as opposed
to marrying it or inheriting it from Dad.
Apparently, he didn't understand that actually working at a job
and earning your own money made you unrelatable to Americans.
My goodness, it's a strange world, isn't it?

*****************************************************

Personal Information:

His full Name is: Willard Mitt Romney
He was Born: March 12, 1947 and is 65 years old.
His Father: George W. Romney, former Governor of the State of Michigan
He was raised in Bloomfield Hills , Michigan
He is Married to Ann Romney since 1969; they five children.
Education:
B.A. from Brigham Young University,
J.D. and M.B.A. from Harvard University
Religion:
Mormon - The Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-Day Saints
Working Background:
After high school, he spent 30 months in France as a
Mormon missionary.
After going to both Harvard Business School and
Harvard Law School simultaneously, he passed the Michigan
bar exam, but never worked as an attorney.
In 1984, he co-founded Bain Capital a private equity
investment firm, one of the largest such firms in the
United States.
In 1994, he ran for Senator of Massachusetts and lost
to Ted Kennedy.
He was President and CEO of the 2002 Winter Olympic
Games.
In 2002, he was elected Governor of the State of
Massachusetts where he eliminated a 1.5 billion deficit.
Some Interesting Facts about Romney:
Bain Capital, starting with one small office supply store
in Massachusetts, turned it into Staples; now over
2,000 stores employing 90,000 people.
Bain Capital also worked 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.
He was an unpaid volunteer campaign worker for
his dad's gubernatorial campaign 1 year.
He was an unpaid intern in his dad's governor's
office for eight years.
He was an unpaid bishop and state president of
his church for ten years.
He was an unpaid President of the Salt Lake
Olympic Committee for three years.
He took no salary and was the unpaid Governor of
Massachusetts for four years.
He gave his entire inheritance from his father to charity.
Mitt Romney is one of the wealthiest self-made men
in our country but has given more back to its citizens
in terms of money, service and time than most men.
And in 2011 Mitt Romney gave over $4 million to charity,
almost 19% of his income.... Just for comparison purposes,
Obama gave 1% and Joe Biden gave $300 or .0013%.
Mitt Romney is Trustworthy:
He will show us his birth certificate
He will show us his high school and college transcripts.
He will show us his social security card.
He will show us his law degree.
He will show us his draft notice.
He will show us his medical records.
He will show us his income tax records.
He will show us he has nothing to hide.
Mitt Romney's background, experience and
trustworthiness show him to be a great leader and
an excellent citizen for President of the United States.
You may think that Romney may not be the best
representative the Republicans could have selected.
At least I know what religion he is, and that he won't
desecrate the flag, bow down to foreign powers,
or practice fiscal irresponsibility.
I know he has the ability to turn this financial debacle
that the current regime has gotten us into. We won't
like all the things necessary to recover from this
debt, but someone with Romney's background can do it.
But, on the minus side, he never was a "Community
Organizer", never took drugs or smoked pot, never
got drunk, did not associate with communists
or terrorists, nor did he attend a church whose pastor
called for God to damn the US. [Oooops!]
 
You know this is going to get moved to the tailgate right?
 
looks like you copied and pasted that from the Romney campaign site.

Romney can't take a steady position on anything.
Romney wants amnesty for illegal immigrants as much as Nobama.
Romney's grandfather and great grandfather had 5 and 6 wives.
Most candidates release 10 years of tax returns, he is hiding something.
He puts his foot in his mouth so much he has Athlete's Tongue.
Maybe if he would come clean on Bain Capital, the liberals would shut up about it.
He is incredibly annoying to listen to....a little less annoying than Obama though.
Hiding money in off shore bank accounts is shady.

I'm voting for a 3rd party candidate, screw those two ass clowns.
When you let Msnbc and Fox news do your thinking, you are part of the problem.

No, this is NOT a typical Mormon. This once was part of Mormon culture, but has not been practiced since 1890. There are "fundamentalist" spin-offs which still practice this, but it is not part of my religion any longer.

I should have said "Typical Mormon of that era". My bad, I was wrong.
But still that would be embarrassing to have that in your family tree.
 
I have it 4 generations ago. I'm not embarrassed by it.


You aren't running for President in the age where clicking on a computer gets you info as quick as you can type. It really shouldn't matter, but to the religious right and the moral majority......they are hating life right now.
When a political ad comes on I mute the volume.

Yeah, screw being embarrassed by stuff like that. Your family's history has made you what you are today. Be proud of what they went through (good or bad) and just reflect on the diversity of where you came from.

My family (dad's side) came over from England in 1853. Some were members of Parliament, but still decided to leave there and come to America.
 
I found it on another site. I'm not sure where he got it. I don't think he's the best person for the job but he seems to be a really good business men and right now in this country we need someone with that kind of experience. So what if his grand parents had a bunch of wife's. Atleast he don't have a father that's a Muslim extremist!
Romney is by far a better presidential candidate than Obama could ever be. If I had the money Romney does I too would have hid it out side of our country because of the peace of sh!t president we have now!
 
I also feel Romney is more capable of the job. But he is not my ideal candidate. I think Santorum was a better fit, but I don't think he or Newt had the ability to dethrone this travesty we've got now. I really hope he picks a decent running mate, because I think Palin is why McCain lost.

Agreed! I don't see any issues with what they did, and it was legal. When it was outlawed, we stopped. Besides, you've got to admire a guy that can keep one woman happy, let alone 3 or 4.

All I'm trying to do is leave this world a better place than when I got here. Whatever anyone in my family tree did is history.

He did talk about Bain Capital, and the liberals still talk crap about it. No matter what anyone says, the liberals won't be satisfied.

Profit is EVIL in Obama's America.

Romney has A LOT of flaws but he is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY...better than Obama at just about anything.
 
The last guys that posted since me-Exactly my thoughts and feeling too!!!
