IF NEWT IS CONSERVATIVE THEN I HOLD THE MOST DINAR HERE!!! [/q There is no such thing as a conservative in the White House and there is definitely not one running for president. Ron Paul is not conservative either. He is pro-constitution and that makes him the most important candidate to vote for. We need this and economic reform in our country if we are to remain free. Anyone who starts applying Ron Paul realism now is just lying to get elected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least he will have an idea how to help the nation make money instead of over spend it I say go Romney with all your money savvy. Help us out of this mess with out losing the constitution. Romney is still out to just fill his own pockets. Luckily his daddy gave him his silver spoon or else he would probably had a first job as pumping gas or flipping burgers at the Malt shop. Instead he dodged the Viet Nam draft and ran all the way to France to do so. Loot GingRich was no better his deferment excuse was getting married and having a kid to dodge the draft. I wonder how many people died and took a bullet for these special lowlifes punks. Edited January 28, 2012 by Benjamin NutnYahoo 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandpaq Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 It is true. http://www.snopes.com/politics/romney/search.asp Subject: About Romney Sometimes, this facet of Romney's personality isn't so subtle. In July 1996, the 14-year-old daughter of Robert ***, a partner at Bain Capital, had disappeared. She had attended a rave party in New York City and gotten high on ecstasy. Three days later, her distraught father had no idea where she was. Romney took immediate action. He closed down the entire firm and asked all 30 partners and employees to fly to New York to help find ***'s daughter. Romney set up a command center at the LaGuardia Marriott and hired a private detective firm to assist with the search. He established a toll-free number for tips, coordinating the effort with the NYPD, and went through his Rolodex and called everyone Bain did business with in New York, and asked them to help find his friend's missing daughter. Romney's accountants at Price Waterhouse Cooper put up posters on street poles, while cashiers at a pharmacy owned by Bain put fliers in the bag of every shopper. Romney and the other Bain employees scoured every part of New York and talked with everyone they could, prostitutes, drug addicts, anyone. That day, their hunt made the evening news, which featured photos of the girl and the Bain employees searching for her. As a result, a teenage boy phoned in, asked if there was a reward, and then hung up abruptly. The NYPD traced the call to a home in New Jersey, where they found the girl in the basement, shivering and experiencing withdrawal symptoms from a massive ecstasy dose. Doctors later said the girl might not have survived another day. Romney's former partner credits Mitt Romney with saving his daughter�s life, saying, "It was the most amazing thing, and I'll never forget this to the day I die." So, here's my epiphany: Mitt Romney simply can't help himself. He sees a problem, and his mind immediately sets to work solving it, sometimes consciously, and sometimes not-so-consciously. He doesn't do it for self-aggrandizement, or for personal gain. He does it because that's just how he's wired. Many people are unaware of the fact that when Romney was asked by his old employer, Bill Bain, to come back to Bain & Company as CEO to rescue the firm from bankruptcy, Romney left Bain Capital to work at Bain & Company for an annual salary of one dollar. When Romney went to the rescue of the 2002 Salt Lake Olympics, he accepted no salary for three years, and wouldn't use an expense account. He also accepted no salary as Governor of Massachusetts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
