Mitt Romney will not raise taxes on the middle class, nor will he lower the tax contributions of the most wealthy!
Today, David Gregory interviewed Mitt and Ann Romney on Meet the Press (see the full interview below). This is the first time in the history of Meet the Press that the wife of a a Presidential Candidate was also interviewed. And in spite of Gregory’s continued public pursuit of an agenda seemingly shaped by the disbelieving and jaundiced left, both Mitt and Ann Romney revealed their true character, charm, capacity and competence!
It is apparent that the media seems to struggle with the Romney’s constancy amid the situational standards of our society – the anomalous Romney’s live and serve by constants and principles of integrity and truth with a sincere and tangible sense of duty. They do not succumb to the typical political pandering and posturing we see in many of today’s politicians. It is human nature to project on others what we see in ourselves, hence the media’s challenge with Mitt and Ann Romney. What the media tries to project on Mitt and Ann is wholly inconsistent with who Mitt and Ann are. We get a sense that the media is so blinded by the beams in their own eyes that they struggle to see the sincere strength and resolute nature of Mitt and Ann Romney, and their foundations for dutiful service; they are truly committed to a cause greater than self. Mitt stated such in his interview – it is about serving the nation, fixing our economy and restoring foundational principles of freedom and liberty! No more, no less.
Ann expressed how life’s experiences are tutorial in shaping our capacity to empathize with those in need, and to the surprise of the interviewer it had nothing to do with our station in life. As a cancer survivor I get it! Ann Romney, and Mitt by virtue of shared experiences with Ann, clearly understand the suffering of others and how to succor and serve those in need. Further, after the Republican Convention in Tampa and the tender expressions of so many touched by Mitt and Ann Romney, the story of unpurchased service by the Romney’s should no longer be challenged, but elevated as an example for all to follow. Bill Bennett said it best today after the Meet the Press interview; paraphrased, conservatives are more charitable and more giving, they are more willing to offer selfless compassionate service than their liberal counterparts. If anyone wants to consider the point, look to the charitable service and contributions of the Romney’s compared to that of the Obama’s and Biden’s combined. The liberals seem to want to be far more generous with the taxpayer’s money (our money) than their own.
Mr. Gregory then began to press Governor Romney on his economic recovery/jobs plan, seeking for greater granularity. I find it fascinating that when Mitt Romney put a 59 point plan together the media was cynical; when he distilled it down to a more simple five point plan, they demanded more specifics. It is clear that the media is lacking in its capacity to understand, or they just have a specific agenda as the PR machine for the sitting President.
The message came through loud and clear from Mitt Romney today, as it was repeated no less than three times – Mitt Romney will not raise taxes on the middle class, nor will he lower the tax contributions of the most wealthy! Among other things, Mitt went on to juxtapose his foreign policy agenda against Obama’s biggest foreign policy failure, a nuclear Iran.
What I find of interest is a want from the media for Mitt Romney to be granular in his plans without a similar press to Obama, who has yet to present a credible budget in 4 years, or a plan to fix our economy, and he is the President of the United States! What I do know is that I can look to Mitt Romney’s track record and history and know that he will govern and execute a plan based upon principles and pragmatism. He has done it innumerable times and will apply the same disciplines as President. His past is prologue which is equally said for Obama. Only in Mitt Romney’s case his past successes are prologue for future successes, and Obama’s past failures are prologue for future failures.

Mike Rowe of mikeroweWORKS.com (formerly the TV show “Dirty Jobs”) has an open letter to Mitt that he should address. Barack Obama never replied to him 4 years ago.

It seems that the media is warming up to the Republican ticket. I’ve seen fairer coverage from the media lately.
Thomas……
Romney has often stated that there is similarities between the two plans…Obamacare and Romneycare, but Romney does NOT support a National Federal Healthcare plan. Obama passed the ACA on top of a mountain of Federal debt with no regard for the debt levels, the % of uninsured or general consensus in the 50 different states. Romney wants to send Healthcare back to the 50 states…so states can determine what plan is best for their state. The ACA has 2074 pages full of government solutions, subjecting businesses and insurance companies to penalties, restrictions and price controls. The ACA act is dictating how much profit insurance companies are allowed to make. Businesses are afraid to spend money not knowing how badly ACA will affect them.
FACT…Obama repeatedly promised the American people that if they were happy with their current insurance plan they could keep it under Obamacare. However by June of 2010 it was reported that 66% of small employer plans and 45% of large employer plans would be voided under Obamcare’s rules in 2013.
FACT..Businesses will not offer the affordable mini med plan which covers the basics, unless you were one of the 729 entities that received a special exemptions from the Obama administration. 165 of the entities were labor unions…CRONYISM
FACT….Obamacare has cut Medicare by 714 billion period. He did this to pay for Obamacare…the portion that has nothing to do with Seniors.
I can keep going with these facts.
Thomas….Romney supports portable insurance…insurance that can be taken from one job to the next. He also …as other Republicans have agreed to do.. is have no pre-existing conditions except for those who have NEVER purchased insurance in their lives.
Your articles are biased and not reporting all of the facts..
I am not wasting any words here, this is the simple fact that needs to be hammered home: Obama is a liar.
“I’m not in this race to slow the rise of the oceans or to heal the planet. I’m in this race to help the American people.” AMEN!!
First, i was very nervous watching this on tv and then in the end i’m very pleased. The only complain i’ve is that the 1st part interview in the moving bus. This’s his 1st interview, it is a big deal and i wish it was not in the bus.
Mrs Ann behaved so well in this interview :-) (sometimes she will cut off Gov Romney in a few interveiws and that can be very annoying). Hey, i like Mrs Ann i just don’t like when people interrupting.
P.s Do not admire Bubba-the blue dress spoiler too much. He has still “D” infront of his name, Bubba is a top gun for empty chair, too. People still listen to him.
Thomas,
phew, you’re living in alternate universe. It is clear you’re not the fake Messia-Obama supporter. Who do you like to see for Prez beside me? kekeke I’m just curious who’s your fav candidate after 8 years President Romeny presidency? I feel bad for you b/c you stuck in the Bush admin, you’re stuck in the past regulation. You’re a regulation FREAK.
You’re still copying and pasting DAVID A. STOCKMAN the biggest fraud men articles. Com’n the guy has ZERO credibility. Do you know what he has done in his private business life? How could you trust him? Support Gov Romney, stay in the winning side!
Thomas,
yeah, i don’t know what i’m talking about. kekekeke
I hope you get credit for your college Obama election assignments. In the old days, we get credits for study hard, read the actual books. Unfortunately, what you need these days is that copy and paste skill. Welcome to the incompetent Obama generation! I’m still laughing @ you………….
