Mitt Romney is a pandering, selfish opportunist.

He has stated that attacking countries that do not attack us is good policy, that the largest tax cuts should go to those who need it the least, that pro-choice laws should be abolished, that what constitutes a family can only be what his religion decrees, that the poor in our society are not helped by well-researched social programs, and that Democrats value government over people, which is a blatant lie.

This man is awful. The only reason he is in the race is his looks, money, and flip-flopping that helped him stave off criticism until now.

Choosing a president is about choosing the person with the best vision and ability to formulate and produce solutions to national problems. Mitt Romney, like the other Republicans this election cycle, hold the potential of America back. Moreover, anyone who thinks the presidency controls (or should control) the economy is ignorant of basic economics.

Yes, Biden or Dodd could have been preferable choices, but the wind is at the Democrats back, and they are voting for a social change at the top by choosing a qualified woman or African-American. The ‘trickle down’ social progress that would come to pass due to the election of either of these individuals is exciting, historic, and good for the country.

Mitt Romney would be a terrible president.

You’ve narrowed it down to three applicants and they are:

Applicant One:
A man who spent two years working in a fast food joint and then, because there was basically no competition, got a better job as a porter at a Quality Inn Hotel and had been there for one year when he stopped showing up for work so he could apply to be the manager of your deluxe resort. He clearly has no experience with the industry that would qualify him - however, he does say in his cover letter than he will “change” your deluxe resort and work with all employees and even neighborhood hotels big and small to make great changes …

Applicant Two:
Was married to a man who ran a Motel 6 for a bit, but the owners really didn’t like him much so wouldn’t recommend him to anyone who called for references… later, he got a job at a nice hotel for a while, but she didn’t really have a role there - mostly just hung out with his peer’s wives for tea and asked him how his day went when he came home at night. Since he was sort of a playboy, they fought so much toward the end of his employment there; she didn’t really even bother with him or his job. To her own credit, she moved out of the old neighborhood where the people living around that motel 6 remembered they couldn’t stand her or her husband and found a place where there were lots of people like her and applied for a job at a Quality Inn, (like the first applicant). She worked there as a porter, (and average porter who really didn’t do anything special) for four years, but the two following years, rarely showed up for work so she could apply for this position. Her background check was shady at best and the things she promised to do as the wife of her hotel manager husband never got done. To her credit again - she tells you in her cover letter that she has 35 years of hotel running experience - making her the best candidate for the job… (She’s got balls for sure!)

And…

Applicant Three
Is a man who has run a 5-star hotel for 12 years and did a good job. He did it all at this nice hotel — he worked in marketing, finances, ran a large staff of employees, made policy changes that improved the hotel and knew what it took to run a major hotel successfully. Prior to that, he served in the hotel industry as a major distributor. In his cover letter he mentions the financial programs, the social programs and marketing programs that he set up for his employers that turned out to be more than positive for the hotel — guests returned more often and gave wonderful reviews —- important guests from other countries learned of it and stayed there when in the states… His references were great, the owner loved the job he did there…

So… Who to hire —- Applicants one or two with basically no experience in running any size of hotel, big or small - but they have had a year to four years as porters in a hotel - average porters, nothing special – still new to the porter jobs — BUT - they both think they are the best things since sliced bread and after all, how hard could it be running an entire multi-million dollar deluxe resort hotel — they’ve been porters for few months for goodness sake —

Or applicant number three - who has run a large hotels and helped make them prosper — has had years and years of experience running hotels and in the industry…

Who would you hire and trust your famous, world renowned deluxe resort to?

It is a disappointment to have the two leading candidates for president be two people who have no executive experience – they haven’t even run a small company – and they are the best the democrats have to run our entire country? These were the two the democrat party backed, pushed and thought would be great? Those with any experience dropped out of the race because the Clinton machine and money were just too much for them… And that’s what we want, the winner of the primaries to be the one with the most money or the most charisma? My Gosh – this is the entire country we are talking about – these two are not experienced no matter what they say — Why did this happen to the party and where are those democrat leaders who actually have led a state or at the least been in congress for a few full terms? I’m sorry if this bugs you, but this is a democrat shame… a total disgraceful shame.
