It seems the only attack anyone has left to make on Mitt
Romney is that he’s just too successful.
We as Americans can’t trust success. We are like the jealous
sibling who thinks Mom’s love for Johnny somehow takes away her love for me.
There are only so many pieces of the pie and no possibility of new pies being
baked in the oven. If someone is doing well, than that must mean someone else
is suffering on his behalf. Certainly someone that successful can’t have an
overwhelming net positive effect on society and individuals.
So who should we have for a president? Let’s see what the media and the other
candidates are suggesting:
We certainly can’t have a president who has shown incredible
success by his ingenuity, hard work, and moral character throughout his life.
We need someone who the American people can relate to. We need someone who’s
more mediocre. Who works the same job making an average income and never really
figures out how to improve that except maybe by investing some of that hard
earned money in lottery tickets.
We need someone who, like real Americans, pays more taxes
than he legally owes, entrusting his hard earned money to the most efficient
and best uses that the government can come up with. Like real Americans, he
should have spent his money when he got it, and lived life to the fullest
rather than saving and investing back in the economy. If he had done that we
wouldn’t expect him to pay more taxes than the average American, and we wouldn’t
expect his savings to be contributing to our economy on evil Wall Street where
surely it is funding other companies that fire people now and then when they
are struggling to make a profit or find inefficiencies in their staff.
We need someone with some real people flaws like a drinking
or a smoking addiction, who suffers and submits to the real temptations of American
life by cheating on his beloved spouse once or twice, even divorcing a wife now
and then to not lose sight of the American dream is that there might be a
better one out there.
Well, if you want to go by these standards, than Mitt Romney
is not the guy for you. But I have a different standard that says this guy is
not perfect, but he’s as close as I could hope anyone could be. And I’m
certainly not going to disqualify him for being one the most successful, moral,
smart, god-fearing, and hard working people in America who is going through
tremendous effort and sacrifice to bring more Americans the kind of success he
has had through greater freedom from government, a more responsible independent
government, and all the protections for life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness that we originally entrusted to our government.
My endorsement is for Mitt Romney.
