I have no delusions that Mitt Romney could have saved us from ourselves overnight. There is too much spinning out of control on the home front and abroad and no one man could turn things around over night. But I know this much...he would have tried. He would have worked to unite the two political parties, congress and the senate and find some middle ground to move our country forward. He would have had the experience and the know how to start to get our country back on track.
Mitt recently spoke at the U of U law school. He made some statements about key issues that our country is facing right now. Again, I agree with his points and his thoughts on the current state of affairs we are in. I enjoyed reading the comments from readers and agree with the following statements:
- An educated society wouldn't vote in the kind of leaders we now have.
- Ignorance is growing, and we may never recover.
- Wow, for all the things one can say about Romney, at least he's not absurd. Nor, it seems, is he out there enough for what the republican party has become.
- America, you missed the opportunity of the century to elect a man of sound judgement, sober thinking, and experience. You missed a man who looks beyond partisan politics to find real solutions. You missed a man with a real plan to help America become great again. You missed a man who was right on Mali, Iran, Syria, the Affordable Care Act, Detroit, and much, much more.
- What we got was a Community Organizer who has never run a business, school, city, or state elected over the Michael Jordan of economics/business. Awesome!!! Way to go Americans....
- But the environment in our nation is more for receiving entitlements and taking instead of putting in your fair share and working. I don't know if Mitt Romney should have to put himself in the same situation, where the liberal media will ridicule him because of his faith, his family and anything else which is dear to him and take anything good he has ever done and drag it through the mud with lies and half truths.
- I salute him for his effort, and know that he loves our country and wants to make it a better place for all its citizens. He also has the knowledge, skills, and most importantly the INTEGRITY to have made major improvements.
- History will record 2012 as one of the great missed opportunities, and the event which permanently condemned our country and way of life to decline because voters chose unwisely.
- We all understand why he didn't win. There are no illusions here. He didn't win because he couldn't mobilize the Republican base, a good portion of which couldn't come to grips with voting for a cultist Mormon, as well as the great democratic party hand out. Biased greed won out.
- If Mitt were to run again. The liberal media team will go out saying he's wealthy, mean spirited, and cares nothing for the poor. Greedy rich man. Our uneducated country will fall for it, and another liberal takes over. They can't see the wealthy are the liberals who keep pulling the wool over their eyes. Sad.
- Mitt was the man of the times for this country, unfortunately, too many people who want what's best for THEM over whats best for ALL voted for a amateur.
