This is the man who has millions in offshore accounts and doesn’t pay taxes. This is the man who hires surrogate motets to birth his grandchild and requires hem to sign a contract that if the child is not up to Romney quality, they have to keep it. A fundie if I ever heard of one,

These are the fruits of GOP revenge. The great social programs of the past were sabotaged by criminals in both parties and especially by the big corporations who blocked the funding and diverted it into the hands of those who planned for it to fail. I watched this first hand with Laclede Town in St. Louis and especially with East St. Louis.

HABIT

I am your constant companion.
I am your greatest helper or heaviest burden.
I will push you onward or drag you down to failure.
I am completely at your command.
Half of the things you do you might as well turn over to me and I will do them – quickly and
correctly.
I am easily managed – you must be firm with me.

Show me exactly how you want something done and after a few lessons, I will do it automatically
.

I am the servant of great people,
and alas, of all failures as well.
Those who are great, I have made great.
Those who are failures, I have made failures.
I am not a machine though
I work with the precision of a machine plus the intelligence of a person.
You may run me for profit or run me for ruin – it makes no difference to me.
Take me, train me, be firm with me, and I will place the world at your feet.
Be easy with me and I will destroy you. Who am I?
I am Habit.

Get a job in a McDonalds anywhere over there you won’t be paid less than that.
But that is because the Aussie economy is based on a similar situation as North Dakota – Extract and sell mineral (or oil) wealth from the ground and then watch the dollars flow in!
(That lasts as long as other communities and countries need to buy those commodities).

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.

Mitt Romney is Trustworthy:

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.
