"The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is."
Winston Churchill
Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan have the best speech writer a politician could hope for; his name is Barack Obama. If you just listen to his words, and look at how those words have translated into actions, they'll tell you all the reasons you should vote for Romney/Ryan. Sure, they have to continue to hammer him on policy and consequences. But, they need to paint a clear picture of the ideology behind all those bad policies. They need to show voters the drastic contrast between conservative Republicans' view of America and Obama's radical leftist view. I'm seeing some positive signs that they plan to do just that. It's true that Romney's not as conservative as some of us would like, but he's a right wing extremist compared to Obama; and both he and Ryan have a fundamental understanding and belief of what built the American economy. In a recent essay, Romney wrote "economic freedom is the only force that has consistently succeeded in lifting people out of poverty ... the only principle that has ever created sustained prosperity." Ryan said last weekend that "Our rights come from nature and God, not from government." Obama and the left believe nothing could be further from the truth. They're OK with freedom of speech, unless the CEO of a private company says he supports traditional marriage. Freedom of religion is fine with Obama, unless churches don't want to buy birth control for their employees. Obama believes these rights DO come from government, therefore he can place limits on them. That, as Joe Biden would say, "is a huge f_ _ _ing deal". Romney, Ryan, the GOP, and all of us need to continue to throw it in their faces. This election isn't about which party we believe has a better platform; it's about who we believe we are as a people.
- Mitt Romney knows, first hand, that, with the incentive of making a lot of money; private citizens will continue to reinvest in the economy, creating jobs and prosperity. Barack Obama believes that "at some point, you've made enough money".
- Romney believes private citizens have a right to risk their own money in investments as they see fit. Obama believes the president has the right to take money from private citizens and "bet" it on the pet projects of his campaign donors. As he told ABC's George Stephanopoulas, about the $600 million lost on Solyndra; “It went through the regular review process, and people felt that it was a good bet.”
- Mitt Romney knows that America became the greatest economic power in world history because economic freedom allowed entrepreneurs to pursue their dreams and reap the rewards of their hard work and sacrifice. Obama believes that government created an economic system that business owners took advantage of. To use his own words: "If you have a business, you didn't build that, someone else made that happen."
- Romney and Ryan believe that the money people earn is their own, and that we all have an obligation to pay our share of taxes, to cover the country's bills. Obama believes that all money earned belongs to government and that they decide how much the workers can keep. He tells us "We cant afford to spend money on tax cuts for rich people" The only way a tax cut can be called spending is, if the money belongs to government to begin with.He says Romney "ONLY" paid $3 million in taxes, in 2010; even though that's more than the average American pays in a lifetime.
- Conservatives believe you can accomplish anything you set your mind to, regardless of the obstacles in your way, but that not everyone will have what it takes to succeed; there will be winners and losers. Obama, like Karl Marx, believes that "It's good when you spread the wealth around."
- Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan believe that hard working individuals, private businesses, and private investors can revive the economy, if government gets out of the way. Almost 4 years ago Obama told us "the federal government is the only entity left with the resources to jolt our economy back to life."
