Why I am Voting For Romney

The Republican Convention is over and I am excited. No Republican convention has got me this excited since Reagans. The past four years have been bad for millions of Americans. When President Obama was elected the country was excited, people who never voted before cast their votes for a new and exciting era in politics--or so they thought. Instead the people got higher unemployment, larger deficits, partisan politics, a health bill that will ruin this country with its high rates, taxes and regulations. The Democrats and the liberal(progressive) media have been rude, nasty and arrogant. As a Democrat I am ashamed of the antics of Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi- I have never heard such hatred toward other people who disagree with you as these two dispense toward Republicans, conservative voters and the media. I can not support the nominee of the Democrats this year. . I will cast my vote for the Republican nominee- Mitt Romney- not because of any lofty promises, but because of what he has done and will do. Listen to Romney's speech from the convention. Listen to what other people have said about Romney. Read about his background. Now ask yourself- Is this the man you want to lead this country. You see- it is not about his promises. It is not about his religion. It is about the man himself. He has devoted his life to providing for his family, and when he was done with this he devoted his life to helping others. He served as Governor of Mass. for four years and took no salary- he reduced the defict in Mass., lowered unemployment and left the state with a surplus. He took over the U.S. Olympics when it was faced with scandal and financial ruin- again- no pay and he made the U.S. Olympics something to be proud of. He founded an investment group and helped make a number of companies successful(Staples, Home Depot) Granted some did not become succesful- but he did not use taxpayers money and overall he created jobs and saved many companies. During all this time he gave his time to helping neighbors and co-workers in their time of need. He has been successful in business , life with the public and life with his family. Many people condemn his success- but in the real world everyone wants to be successful. Listen to Romney and read some of his speeches. Read what others say about him. Isnt this what people wish for- success- success in family, success in work, and success in your place in society. Romney may not have all the answers- but we know that the current administartion have no new ideas and have exhausted all their other ones. When I look at Romney- I see something more than a politician- I see someone who has achieved great things in his life. I see something that people- no matter what age, gender, relgion, education , race or citizenship status- hope for in their lives. What I see is what people see when they come to this country, or they read about American history- I see someone that everyone aspires to be- Successful,in life, for their family, and for the future.
