Mitt Romney would drag the country backwards, economically, socially and in the area of Civil Rights.
A Republican president would have the opportunity to nominate more than 1 Supreme Court justice. This would have devestating repercussions for many civil rights gained in the past 50 years. Romney has made clear that his choices would rule ideology and religion over Constitutional law.
His economic plan's unviability can be demonstrated by Googling "mathematically impossible." He misleads and outright lies about his so-called "job creator" status, outsourcing and Massachusettes' economic state after his governorship.
He would have cheerfully voted for the Blount Amendment. He claims to not old the same antiquated viewson reproductive rights as Gov Bob "Vaginal Probe" McDonnell, Rick "Anti-contraceptives" Santorum, Todd "Legitimate Rape" Akin, and his own running mate, Rep Paul "Personhood" Ryan. He wants full civil rights, including property rights, for a bundle of 2 or 3 cells (fertilized egg).
He wants employers to decide if their employees can have birth control solely based on their own opinion. Romney heads a Republican party that claims to be for smaller government yet has no problem deciding what healthcare decisions women can make for themselves and which that "hands off" government will make for them. They even want to control what a woman's healthcare provider can tell her, even as far as forcing lies to be told by the doctor concerning the patient's condition.
Romney does not support equal pay for women doing equal work as men.
He has no apparent interest in diplomacy that doesn't involve armies. He has shown so little interest in the realities of foreign affairs that he thinks Syria is Iran's "path to the sea." As Rachel Maddow asked, "Doesn't he know what Persia means?" And for a businessman, he has a very niave view of the intracies of trade negotiations.
He has tacitly, and vocally, condoned the racist, bigoted attiudes of "birthers," anti-homosexuals, and radical religionists (who seek a theocracy).
President Barack Obama holds the opposite view on all the above. His vison is forward-looking (hence his camaign's catchword). The President also has shown himself to be more than able to handle diplomacy and dealings with the rest of the world. The President also knows that the only way to make money is to spend it (one would think a self-defined businessman would acknowledge that). So to boost our economy, healing our broken infrastructure and investing in long-term energy solutions
will help make our country healthy again.
Civil rights are too important to ignore
