It seems Twitter is going crazy with Rommunism stories and Memes labeling Romney as an  ‘outsourcer in chief’.  Much of this has to do with his history with Bain Capital. Mitt Romney has a history of destroying American jobs, hurting the middle class while making a profit in doing so.

In fact, Republican Newt Gingrich called Romney out on this during the Republican Presidential debates — see below video.

Mitt Romney. Was he a job creator or a corporate raider?

That’s the question this film answers.

And it’s not pretty.

Mitt Romney was not a capitalist during his reign at Bain. He was a predatory corporate raider. His firm didn’t seek to create value. Instead, like a scavenger, Romney looked for businesses he could pick apart. Indeed, he represented the worst possible kind of predator, operating within the law but well outside the bounds of what most real capitalists consider ethical.

He is exhibit number one the left wants to use in the coming election to give capitalism a bad name.

He and his friends at Bain were bad guys. Any real capitalists should disavow Romney’s ‘creative destruction’ model that made him wealthy at the expense of thousands of American jobs.

Mitt Romney and his cronies pioneered ‘deindustrialization,’ a process by which they searched out vulnerable companies, took them over, loaded them with debt, and collected obscene fees while doing so. He sent jobs overseas or killed them altogether, and then picked apart the remains – including pension funds – before the companies went bankrupt.

Some might call that the free market. Most of us think its just plain wrong.

If you wonder why America has lost so many manufacturing jobs overseas, look no further than Mitt Romney — the King of Bain.

Think you know Mitt?

Think again…

MotherJones also wrote and exclusive story with regard to mitt Romney investing outside American interest in a Chinese firm that profited on US outsourcing jobs.

See below:

EXCLUSIVE: Romney Invested Millions in Chinese Firm That Profited on US Outsourcing

I really don’t think the Republican doom and gloom talk holds credibility particularly when the U.S. is expected to add five million millionaires by 2017. 

What it comes down to is this:  Mitt Romney is out of touch with the ordinary American worker who basically wants to be hard on Sesame Street and easy on Wall Street.

It’s time for the middle class worker to garner attention.  If you are gonna give breaks to Wall Street, then don’t complain when breaks are given to the middle class.  Mitt Romney also wants to increase our war budget by $2.1 trillion dollars during a time we can’t afford to increase it.  It is better to keep American tax payer dollars invested in our Homeland.  Mitt Romney has it all backwards — and it is because he is simply out of touch.  The rich little boy wants one thing and one thing only:   POWER.

Romney with power and money would be like trusting a drunken sailor with a wad of cash at the liquor store.

Just in:

For all the talk of decline in America, here is a stat worth noting: America is expected to add five million millionaires over the next five years.

According to Credit Suisse, the United States is expected to have 16.9 million millionaires by 2017. (Millionaires are defined as those with total assets minus debts of more than $1 million). That would mark a 53 percent increase from America’s 11 million millionaires today.

Credit Suisse says North America has 40,000 residents worth $50 million or more.

The growth means that the United States will still tower over the rest of the world when it comes to manufacturing millionaires. Even if China and Asia grow at the expected 70 percent over the same period, the region will still have 50 percent fewer millionaires than the United States.

Globally, there are expected to be more than 46 million millionaires around the world in 2017 – an increase of more than 18 million.

Romney drops mention of Navy SEAL as friends expose flaws in story

Controversy about one of the Navy SEALS killed in Libya last month has Mitt Romney changing his campaign speeches.

Our news partner 97.3 KIRO FM exposed flaws in a story Romney told about a Navy SEAL he once met. The Republican referenced Glen Doherty once in Ohio Wednesday until senior advisers told the media he would no longer do it out of respect for Doherty’s mother. She was upset that her son’s name was being used for political purposes. His friends were upset by Romney’s inaccuracies.

Let me be clear, President George W. Bush began both wars against Iraq and Afghanistan, and to President Obama’s credit…he delivered Osama Bin Laden and ensured OBL would not harm anymore Americans.  In fact, Obama is highlighting his troop drawdowns in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Obama campaign to highlight troop drawdowns in Iraq, Afghanistan

That said, and now that OBL is out of the way … i s it really necessary for Mitt Romney to increase our war budget when our ‘top brass’ didn’t ask for it?  Mitt Romney wants to increase our war budget by $2.1 trillion.  Imagine if we invested that here in our Homeland instead of abroad.  We are tired of bombing countries only to rebuild their infrastructure.  We need jobs HERE in our homeland and we cannot afford to piss away our tax payer dollars by constantly bombing other countries — especially during  a slow economy.  Military dependents are tired of war mongering Republicans who are quick to send out troops in danger’s way, but are not there when their lives are snuffed out of them.

Americans are sick and tired of war, and more importantly dependents and family members of soldiers serving in the Armed Forces are, too.

We simply cannot afford to increase the war budget.   It is insane how Mitt Romney wants to kill Big Bird on Sesame Street but increase the war budget by $2.1 Trillion dollars. Our top military brass isn’t even asking for an increase so this is another example of Romney’s inability to comprehend foreign policy.

Perhaps Mitt Romney can learn a thing or two from former Republicans (now Libertarian candidate) Gary Johnson with regard to foreign policy, war and defense.

I am not a Republican anymore, but as a key independent voter and a Gulf War veteran of our Armed Forces, I am not supporting Mitt Romney either.  I am  supporting Obama for Presidency.  I would rather have 4 more years of Obama than 8 years of Mr. Multiple Choice Mitt.

From the former South Dakota Senator Larry Pressler (Ret.) R-SD

Member US House 1975-79 Member US Senate 1979-97. Vietnam Veteran-served two combat tours in Vietnam, received Bronze Star, Member Disabled American Veterans, American Legion and VFW- Member, Jericho Homeless Veterans National Board

As a combat veteran of two tours in Vietnam with twenty-two years of service as a Republican member of the U.S. House and Senate, I endorse President Barack Obama for a second term as our Commander-in-Chief. Candidates publicly praise our service members, veterans and their families, but President Obama supports them in word and deed, anywhere and every time.

As a Vietnam vet, one of the reasons I support President Obama is because he has consistently shown he understands that our commitment to our servicemen and women may begin when they put on their uniform, but that it must never end.

This decision is not easy for any lifelong Republican. In 2008 I voted for Barack Obama, the first time I ever voted for a Democrat, because the Republican Party was drifting toward a dangerous path that put extreme party ideology above national interest. Mitt Romney heads a party remaining on that dangerous path, proving the emptiness of their praise as they abandon our service members, veterans and military families along the way.

Mitt Romney has failed foreign policy debate when he dodged the draft and Vietnam War; Veterans don’t trust Multiple Choice Mitt, and it shouldn’t be a surprise that Obama did better than Mitt Romney as it relates to veterans and how we feel.

From the Huffington Post:

Obama Leading Mitt Romney Among Veterans, 32 Percent Think Iraq War Ended Successfully: Poll

First of all, as a female veteran of the United States Armed Forces – I do not think Romney is qualified to attack Obama on his foreign policy

particularly when he dodged the draft. Romney avoided military service at the height of the fighting after high school by seeking and receiving four draft deferments according to Selective service records. Romney was of age to fight for our Country, but sought deferments instead.

As a veteran of the United States Air Force, and as a former female soldier of the Armed Services, I will not vote for Mitt Romney. How can a man who “claims” to love our Country seek deferments that prevented Romney fighting for her? For the record, I am supporting President Obama in 2012, and it will be my first time voting for a Democratic President ever.

Though an early supporter of the Vietnam War, Romney avoided military service at the height of the fighting after high school by seeking and receiving four draft deferments, according to Selective Service records. They included college deferments and a 31-month stretch as a “minister of religion” in France, a classification for Mormon missionaries that the church at the time feared was being overused. The country was cutting troop levels by the time he became eligible for the draft, and his lottery number was not called.

President Barack Obama, Romney’s opponent in this year’s campaign, did not serve in the military either. The Democrat, 50, was a child during the Vietnam conflict and did not enlist when he was older.

But because Romney, now 65, was of draft age during Vietnam, his military background _ or, rather, his lack of one _ is facing new scrutiny as he courts veterans and makes his case to the nation to be commander in chief. He’s also intensified his criticism lately of Obama’s plans to scale back the nation’s military commitments abroad, suggesting that Romney would pursue an aggressive foThe foolishness of Romney’s reaction is glaring. Pretending that the statement from the U.S. embassy in Cairo was anything other than a completely understandable and reasonable attempt by its occupants to save their own lives borders on disgraceful. Romney’s implication that the statement was issued at the height of the attacks is also false; it was actually released earlier in the day, a preventive measure aimed at keeping the protests from turning violent.reign policy as president that could involve U.S. troops.

 

I’m an independent registered voter and a veteran of the US Armed Forces and served under President George Bush Sr., and President Clinton. I do not support Mitt Romney because he dodged the draft. I encourage you to support Ohio Veterans who have a legitimate complaint against Mitt Romney.

Mitt Romney is trying to restrict voting rights for over 900,000 Ohio veterans (along with every other Ohioan). We need to fight back, to protect our democracy against this horrific move.

Governor Romney,

We will not stand for your latest attempt to restrict voting rights for over 900,000 Ohio veterans. By supporting the Ohio law that shortens the early voting period, you are restricting the ability to vote of those who wore the uniform, and swore their lives to uphold our Constitution, including the right to vote.

The law you have come out in support of would restrict the incredibly successful early-voting program in the state, and specifically do away with voting the weekend before election day, when many working Ohioans chose to vote early. For veterans, many of whom have jobs they cannot leave during a weekday, weekend voting has proved crucial. In 2008, almost a third of Ohio voters used the early voting program, including veterans.

We’ve already seen what a non-early-voting Ohio looks like. We saw it in 2004, when in many polling places had extremely long lines, and polling places were shut down before everyone in line had a chance to vote. Non-early voting, quite literally, resulted in the disenfranchisement of voters, including veterans.

That you want to go back to those days is disgusting and wrong. If you truly want to show you are ready to be Commander in Chief, you can start by not trying to hurt the ability of veterans to vote.

Sincerely,

Sign it here:

Please pass this petition around to people who really care about Veterans and voter rights!

MotherJones released a video of Mitt Romney at a private fundraising event slamming Obama supporters.

Here is what Romney said:

There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. That that’s an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what…These are people who pay no income tax.Romney went on: “[M]y job is is not to worry about those people. I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.”

Wow.

Just wow.

Romney has proved what a heartless silver-spoon fed individual he is.  And he wants to lead Americans and this Country?!

Who needs Mr. Bain Capital at the height of crony capitalism that is destroying our economy?

Dear Mitt Romney,

I am not dependent upon government, nor am I on welfare … yet I am supporting Obama.  I am also an Independent voter, and supporting Obama does not mean one is on welfare or dependent on government.  You have a lot of audacity considering your family became rich suing Mexico after using it as a safe Haven and receiving help from Congress once your family left Mexico in light of the Mexican Revolution.

How dare you insert your tasteless and heartless true colors into your campaign when you would rather increase the war budget while damning the poor.  In addition to the cool Billion$ we give in foreign aid, we see you wanting to spike our defense spending  by $2.1 trillion.  There is something terribly sick and wrong about the money we waste bombing other countries instead of investing more of it at home.

You heard it from me first….Mike Stauffer for Sheriff is to Joe Arpaio what Gary Johnson is to Mitt Romney — the Achilles heel.  And while there are not enough Libertarians that will choose a President in 2012, there are, however, enough Independent voters and moderate Republicans in Maricopa County to oust Arpaio.

Stauffer has found a way to reach out to independents and libertarian-leaning Republicans who care more about fiscal accountability.  Stauffer’s message?

The Sheriff’s office should not be partisan.

Here is how Mike Stauffer can oust the corrupt Arpaio:

Like Romney, Arpaio has tried to get Mike Stauffer off the ballots to no avail.  Have you noticed why Arpaio only talks about his weakest opponent via Paul Penzone the alleged wife beater?

Look how the Romney campaign and the GOP has tried to thwart Gary Johnson to no avail. The GOP is desperate because they know Gary Johnson is pro immigrant and a serious threat to Mitt’s campaign.

Johnson thwarts GOP ballot challenge

Victory in Pennsylvania

In an announcement sent out by the Johnson campaign’s Ryan Shattuck Friday evening, he quotes news articles detailing the Libertarians’ victory in the Keystone State. ‘Commonwealth Court judges sided with Johnson by a margin of 2-1 on Thursday,’ the statement read. It goes on to explain how establishment candidates like Democrats and Republicans must submit only 2,000 petition signatures to appear on the ballot.

At the same time, independent and opposition party candidates like Gary Johnson must submit 20,601 valid signatures. Showing just how much grassroots support there is in Pennsylvania for Johnson’s Presidential run, the campaign ended up submitting 49,000 ballot access signatures – two and a half times the number required and almost 25-times the number Republicans and Democrats each collected.

There’s no doubt that the Gary Johnson for President campaign is notching one victory after another this election season. The question remains however, is it enough to launch the Libertarian Presidential nominee into a voter-recognized three-man race for President? In reality, it won’t do the former two-term New Mexico Governor any good to be on the ballot nationwide if voters still don’t know who he is by election day.
