Why I am voting for Mitt Romney

I think it is time for a change in presidential leadership. This is a tough decision for me this time around, as I voted for President Obama in 2008 when he was clearly the best candidate.
As an African-American citizen, it is hard to describe the feeling (of pride, tears, and glee) I felt on inaugural day in 2009 when Mr. Obama was sworn in. My decision to vote Republican (my parents’ traditional party) this time is a difficult but necessary one. In fact, some very close/long-term friends of mine, who are liberal have threatened to end their friendship with me if I vote for Mitt Romney.
My decision, however, is based on the obvious fact that America needs an economic reboot and although lacking in empathy, emotional intelligence and at times common sense, former Gov. Romney (when focused) has a very good business head on his shoulders. I reckon a President Romney will figure a way out of these 3+ years of economic quagmire. And since we have divided government now as the current model, why not try a scenario where one party controls the executive and part of the legislature?
As a corporate HR director, I have done and reviewed many employee annual performance appraisals. If Mr. Obama were a corporate employee, his performance appraisal would range from unsatisfactory to a performance improvement plan (PIP). Put simply, he missed opportunities to make substantial job program improvements to the sagging economy when his party controlled the executive and legislative branch of government. Critical momentum and times was lost in 2009 and 2010 when the Democrats could have rammed through big job-creating legislation.

Kinda strange that "Rex Conte from Oak Park, Illinois" made almost the same comment in the Chicago Sun Times as "Rex Conte from Chesterfield, Missouri" made in St. Louis Today. Not sure if this is a serious paper or not because I'm not from St. Louis.
 
From the Sun Times:
"Obama’s missed opportunities.

I hope you don't think that dems don't do it.  They do.

 
 
 
 
 
During the armed robbery of Iraq Cheney had the Pentagon posting fake letters from soldiers allegedly in Iraq and claiming they were having a great time there.
 
 
Old GOP trick.
 
 
 
 
 
 

It's an even older dem trick.

 
This is the same reason to be cautious when reading "User Comments/Ratings" for products.
 

I'll bet it's an old Whig trick too.

 
Well that's obviously a lie, as Obama has proven that McCain was the best candidate in 2008.  Those who voted for Obama in 2008 were totally clueless.  If they did know the issues, then they were anti-American for voting for Obama.

Yeah, I love those comments that go something like:


"Mitt Romney has proven he has the leadership skills to be President, and I intend to vote for him and all the Republicans, and I also can't believe the income my sister earned by working at home click here: http mywebstore67955643/home/html "

Well that's obviously a lie,
 
Dan.
 
The entire posting is a GOP fake.
 
You don't have to argue about the merits or lack thereof of the fake posting.
 

What makes you think that they are "fake" and what makes you think that the GOP had anything to do with it?

Come on.  Man up and prove your claims.

Therefore, no posts need be made about the merits or lack thereof of the fake dem postings?

Anchorhead would argue with a tree. He just likes to argue and he argues like a 7 year old kid on the playground. He has no clue that the tree is about 50 times smarter than he.  (http://www.aesopsretreat.com/forum/Smileys/classic/grin.gif)

What makes you think that they are "fake" and what makes you think that the GOP had anything to do with it?

Let see, Thomas, identical letters to the editors of two newspapers in two different states [SO FAR] in using the same name and claiming to live in both states and posting the same letter repeating a few Romney campaign lying-points....
 
 
 
 

Well obviously, as no one could possibly think Obama was the best choice in 2008.

Let's see.....
 
Repeating the obvious. And not manning up and answering the question.
 
Typical.

Thomas, you can imagine that I'm wrong if you want to.
 
And you always imagine whatever you choose to imagine.
 
 
 
 
Here's an actual fake comment from a national magazine's comments:

I did not imagine that you are wrong.  I simply asked you to man up and prove that they were fake and the GOP was behind them.
 
So, man up.

OK, Thomas, wait right there.

Obviously ain't man enough.
 
So typical.
 
So sad.

So they are using the same tactics previously employed by democrats?  And you people said they were too stupid to learn...

C&P letters to op-ed pages have been used by both parties for decades kook.  But thanks for playing, you can go now, we're done laughing at you.

Nope.
 
I am totally sure that there will be a bunch of laughable moments from him in the future.  History has proven that.

 
 
If you believe anything in "Letters To The Editor" you are an IDIOT. 
 
If you believe anything in a political board like assops reteat you are an IDIOT.
 
 
 
 

 
 
As if only the Republicans do it.  Hahahahaha   Probably a trick learned from Democrats...
