How Do You Want To Be Screwed, Romney vs Obama?

Let's face it. The Republicans are dedicated to taking away our freedom and civil rights. The Democrats are equally dedicated to taking away our money to use it for their own purposes.

The Republicans respect the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, but can't stand the rest.

The Democrats are all for the 1st, 4th, and 5th.

Both parties seem to have NEVER read the 9th or 10th.

The question is, what is easier to get back once it is lost, your freedom? or your money?

I'll have to support the sitting President this time around. But I'm going to be strongly supporting the Libertarians in the future, if they can start taking things seriously.

    Some Interesting Facts about Romney:

    After high school, he spent about 30 months in France as an unpaid missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and had to pay for his own room and board.

    After graduating from both Harvard Business School and Harvard Law School simultaneously, he passed the Michigan bar but never worked as an attorney.

    He was an unpaid volunteer campaign worker for his dad's gubernatorial campaign 1 year. He was an unpaid intern in his dad’s governor’s office for eight years.

    In 1984, he co-founded Bain Capital a private equity investment firm.

    Under his leadership, Bain Capital, starting with one small office supply store in Massachusetts, turned it into Staples; now over 2,000 stores employing 90,000 people.

    He also worked to perform the same kinds of business miracles again and again, with companies like Domino's Pizza, Sealy, Brookstone, Weather Channel, Burger King, Monsanto, Burlington, Warner Music Group, Dollarama, Home Depot Supply, Sports Authority, Steel Dynamics (SDI) which has since grown to become the fifth-largest U.S. producer of carbon-steel products, and many other successful companies. It is more profitable to have a company worth more than less… Yes, he could not save a few who were too deep in difficulties.

    Romney “outsourcing” has been debunked by Factcheck, Washington Post, and Yahoo News.

    He gave his entire inheritance from his father to charity.

    In 1994, he ran for Senator of Massachusetts and lost to Ted Kennedy.

    He took a 1 dollar salary while helping save the 2002 Winter Olympic Games financially.

    He was an unpaid bishop and stake president of his church for about 12 years giving voluntary service of at least 20 or more hours each week for that entire time frame.

    In 2002, he was elected Governor of the State of Massachusetts where he eliminated a 1.5 billion deficit.

    He took no salary and was the unpaid Governor of Massachusetts for four years.

    In 2008, Romney and his wife, Ann, were awarded the Becket Fund's prestigious Canterbury Medal for "Courage in the Defense of Religious Liberty”.

    Romney has released his full Tax returns for 2011 and 2010 — and a summary of his federal tax payments since 1990. The Romneys paid state and federal taxes in each of the last 20 years; their effective tax rate in 2011 was 14.1 percent. From a summary prepared by PricewaterhouseCoopers they know the couple’s average annual effective federal tax rate from 1990 to 2009 was 20.20 percent.
