About Mitt Romney; The political proof is in the politics pudding

MITT ROMNEY:
1. Romney was on the board of directors of Damon Corporation, a medical testing company which later found guilty of defrauding the government.

2. Romney & his investors at Bain Company fundamental goal was maximizing the value of acquired companies and the return to Bain's investors, not job creation. (Romney Bain Company was to make profit for Romney and his business buddies, not interesting in creation jobs for the people. It was all about making profits not creating jobs.

3. When Mitt Romney throw the people under the bus in which the people lost their jobs in order for Mitt Romney to put more money in his pocket; this was his remarks. "Sometimes the medicine is a little bitter but it is necessary to save the life of the patient." He meant, to save or put more money in his and his business buddies machines. He also said, "My job was to try and make the enterprise successful, and in my view the best security a family can have is that the business they work for is strong. Romney main concern was his family and his business buddies, not the people or the workers).

It was all about Romney making millions, not interesting in creating jobs for the people. (A leopard will never change it's spots!) Mitt Romney is known to shift his political views such as abortion and the treatment of workers. Should Romney becomes President, he will shift his policies to the far right of the Tea-party extremists. Cutting and ending Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, education and Public Unions bargain rights.

4. All the millions that Mitt Romney made out of it's Bain business, the company was still saddled with debts. When Bain was about to collapse, Mitt Romney first respond was to let it fail, but the other investors held on and the company regain some success, but despite it's success, because of it's debt, it eventually went into bankruptcy and causes more layoffs. Romney made sure his pocket was fill while the company debt soar which causes more people to lose their jobs. Again it was greed, selfish and frauds that causes the company to go into bankruptcy.

5. It was the same Government policies that in the end made Bain regain it's success. Policies similar to those of President Obama's. "New governing policies structure that included Bain and the other founding partners to give up control, and increase fiscal transparency. These policies were similar to those of President Obama's that he implemented in order to avert another economy disaster. The same policies that Mitt Romney is now against, calling it big Government control. Mitt Romney is pure hypocrisy!

6. Mitt Romney then went into business with the "Winter Olympics". This company was also successful because the federal government provided $382 million to help with it's budget. And much of it's success was because Mitt Romney "lobbied" Congress to provide money for both security- and non-security-related items.

In addition to that, $1.1 billion of Federal money was spent on indirect support in the form of highway and transit projects. Now, the same hypocrite Mitt Romney is against President Obama for helping to revive the economy and put people back to work calling it big government spending. Now Mitt Romney is going around using the same Federal success money as to boast about how he made businesses successful and how many jobs he created. How much more hypocrite can Mitt Romney gets!

7. During Mitt Romney governorship he also increased a special gasoline retailer fee by two cents per gallon imposing hardship on those who could least afford them. Now he is blaming President Obama for the high gas prices. He also cut funding for higher education. Now he is planning should he become President, will target Medicare, Medicaid, education, the people bargain rights and Social Security. He also sought to veto nearly 250 items in State budget that would have crush the people hope and cripple the economy, but thanks to the Democratic legislature that overrides those vetoes. The cuts that Mitt Romney imposed in state spending put added pressure on local property taxes; the share of town and city revenues coming from property taxes rose from 49 to 53 percent. All of this is what help cause the collapse of the Housing market.

8. Federal Government had threatened to cut $385 millions from payments to Massachusetts if the state did not reduce the number of uninsured recipients of health care services. Mitt Romney then decided that because people without insurance and that could afford to pay their own health care still received expensive health care, the money spent by the state for such care could be better used to subsidize insurance for the poor, saving the government money. Romney successfully pushed for incorporating an individual mandate at the state level.

Romney respond to the individual mandate as, "It's liberal in the sense that we're getting our citizens health insurance and it's conservative in that we're not getting a government takeover. Which mean that the people will be more free to choose their Health Insurance company and it won't be a government take over, but the people own free-will to choose their Health Insurance. Now Mitt Romney playing the Flip-Flopper again and trying to throw the people under the bus again with Health Care.

What else Mr. Mitt Romney did? He apposed same sex marriage and change his position from Pro-choice to Pro-life. Mr. Romney keeps flipping, he must be the political coin!
SAVE THE DREAM, VOTE WISELY!

One must admits, above the surface of Republicans politics sounds promising , but beneath that surface lies the daunted policies

No matter who the Republican Presidential candidate is, they abide by the same policies and philosophies. One can say, where lies and deception sure to creep in! Republicans know their underlying policies or it's deep structure will destroy the good success of the people and liquidate their hope and also the strength of the economy. So Republicans tend to lay out promising policies that will capture the hearts and minds of the people to win politically. Those policies are set to fail because they were never real in the first place, they are all full of bribes and deceptions!

Remember after President Obama took office how the Republicans went all out protesting jobs as their top priority? Then after the 2010 election and they won the House, creating jobs was dumped into the Republicans garbage bin. Well, the 2012 election is no different.

The Republicans who so deceitfully seem like they care about the millions of people out of a job, blocked the very jobs bill that will put millions back to work. Saying that if they pass the jobs bill, it will give President Obama a win. They never think for one second about the people win, no, it was all about the Republicans selfish political win. How selfish can they get with millions out of a job! Thanks in part to President Obama and the faithful caring Democrats who are fighting everyday to strengthen the economy and put people back to work.

The only policies that's sure to be kept by Republicans are those they have in mind to cut and kill. Including vital programs like, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, education, the people bargain rights for a safer job security and many other cuts not even yet mention. And these burdensome cuts will be done by the Republicans to pay for tax breaks for the wealthy and for companies who shipped jobs overseas. This is buzzard, isn't it? Be sure to make it a wake up call!

What is also clearly in view is, every Republican seems to want to wage war-fare on the minimum wage and public employees union bargain rights. They all promise if be elected as president, would cut and veto any bill that will raise the minimum wage or support employees bargain rights. As far as the people concern, the Republicans are against every rights of the people. Leave only to believe that freedom and equality for all people will be a thing of the pass.

First of all, Republican was never the party for freedom and equality for all people. They are the party that believes in "the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer." And it's even so much worse with the more extreme Tea-party on board. You just can't imagine and wonder what kind of freedom and prosperity the people would have under a Republican president. Because their plan is to run government with a iron fist that will burdensome the majority of the people with deficit bills in order to pay tax breaks for the wealthy. Can you imagine? Doesn't it sound more like the end of the world? Or maybe so, the end of the American Dream!

Imaging state legislators across the nation introducing similar or identical bills designed to boost corporate power and profits, reduce workers rights, limit corporate accountability for pollution, or restrict voting by minorities. These legislation was not written by a state lawmaker, but by corporate lobbyists working through the American Legislative Exchange Council.

ALEC is a one-stop shop for corporations looking to identify friendly state legislators and work with them to get special-interest legislation introduced. It’s win-win for corporations, their lobbyists, and right-wing legislators. But the big losers are the people whose rights and interests are sold off to the highest bidder. Sound familiar? look no further than the Republican bureaucracy!

If the people want to know who are the winners and who are the losers, then they need to ask themselves these questions:
(1) What would life be without a job or to have the minimum wage cut in a time when the cost of living is growing so high everyday?
(2) What would senior Citizens do or what will life be without Medicare or Medicaid?
(3) How would working people cope with the constant high costs of Insurances if no alternative health care Insurance is set in place to give them the free will to shop around?
(4)How safe is one's job or their bargain rights if there were no Labor Unions to fight for them?
(5) How would one feel or cope with the fact knowing after years of paying into Social Security and because of privatization, they lose it all due to private businesses failure or bankruptcy? Remember the downturn of Wall Street?


These are just a few of the many hard questions one has to ask himself or herself because these are the Republicans policies that will be put into place should they take control of the Presidency, the House and the Senate.

The people must remember the Republicans/Tea-party bureaucracy don't seem to have a heart when it comes to the majority of the people. They already said "they rather see the people stay poor & suffer and that nothing wrong if American people die by the way-side because it happening in other part of the world. The people should know why the Republicans and the Tea-party are so eager as to focus their top priority in making President Obama a one term president and to end public employees labor unions.

The actual truth is, the Republicans are doing everything to defeat President Obama and the Labor Unions in order to defeat the people. The Republican main purpose is to burdensome the people with the deficit bills. A bill that has mounted because of too many fraudulent, greediness and selfishness, not the people!

Mitt Romney said should he become President he would end unemployment benefits completely. He would have people draw from their own money. Meaning, he rather protect companies full pocket book and empty out the little 99% pocket book. Romney referring to people retirement saving or their Social Security. And once that is done, Romney said, that's it! Remember his comment? "corporates are people my friend!"

(1) "When I grew up here in Iowa, we owned our own health insurance. We didn't necessarily have it from our employer,"

(2) "Slavery had a disastrous impact on African-American families, yet sadly a child born into slavery in 1860 was more likely to be raised by his mother and father in a two-parent household* than was an African American baby born after the election of the USA’s first African-American President." *One can't help oneself but asking what's that have to do with the President!*

(8) "We live in Revolutionary times."


ERIC CANTOR:
(1)"The idea is that the government can be counted on to spend more wisely than the people."
Voted against raising the minimum wage to US$ 7.25 in 2007. It's seem that Republicans are known for voting against raising the minimum wage. Yet want to continue giving tax break to big Corporates.

HERMAN CAIN:
(1) "If you don't have a job or you are not rich blame yourself." (What Herman Cain don't understand is that his so-call pizza business that he happen to have made millions from is not the ticket for success for millions of people that are now out of work!)

MORE REPUBLICANS QUOTES TO COME KEEP CHECKING BACK.

Republicans want less Government, less regulations to populate more fraudulency

Freedom is everybody wish but sometimes too much freedom comes with a heavy price to pay. Too much freedom can sometimes bring great disappointment and catastrophe. People can no longer live in a free world and expect honest and integrity. And for that reason this is where Government comes in. Government must play a major part in bringing structure to protect the people from endless of fraudulent and misuse of power.

Republicans talk about smaller Government and less regulations, but you can't help yourself but wonder why. Why are they so obsess with smaller Government and less restrictions even to the extend as to ignoring the cry of the people for jobs? I guess the information below can answer that question for the people.

Republicans don't like big Government, but they love big businesses! Why? Because Republicans will rather put back big businesses in control of the people so they can indulged in fraudulent and rip the people pocket book apart. Republicans care-less about protecting the people rights and their pocket book.

Millions of people out of work and the economy growth is slowly striving; and President Obama passed the jobs bill so long and constantly asking the Republicans to put aside their politics and work toward passing the jobs bill so that people can get back to work and in order for the economy can start growing at a faster pace. And the Republicans refused!

The Republicans kept rejecting the call to pass the jobs bill! Saying that the only plan will able job creation is smaller Government and less regulations. There was smaller Government and less regulations under the Bush's Administration and the economy still went crashing down.

So it's not about small Government, less regulation and tax break for the wealthy in order to produce a healthy growing economy, but the right policies and strategies. It is because of too little Government involvement why Wall Street and these big companies were able to indulged in so many fraudulence resulting in the economy losing it's strength and collapsed.

The point is, if big businesses can't be trusted then someone body has to step in to make correction and to protect the people well being and that is where the Government comes in! Big Government has to come in in order to solved Republicans big problems!

Columbia/HCA fraud case details

On March 19, 1997, investigators from the FBI, the Internal Revenue Service and the Department of Health and Human Services served search warrants at Columbia/HCA facilities in El Paso and on dozens of doctors with suspected ties to the company.

Following the raids, the Columbia/HCA board of directors forced Rick Scott to resign as Chairman and CEO.[20] He did paid $9.88 million in a settlement. He also left owning 10 million shares of stock worth over $350 million

In settlements reached in 2000 and 2002, Columbia/HCA plead guilty to 14 felonies and agreed to a $600+ million fine in the largest fraud settlement in US history. Columbia/HCA admitted systematically overcharging the government by claiming marketing costs as reimbursable, by striking illegal deals with home care agencies, and by filing false data about use of hospital space.

They also admitted fraudulently billing Medicare and other health programs by inflating the seriousness of diagnoses and to giving doctors partnerships in company hospitals as a kickback for the doctors referring patients to HCA.

They filed false cost reports, fraudulently billing Medicare for home health care workers, and paid kickbacks in the sale of home health agencies and to doctors to refer patients. In addition, they gave doctors "loans" never intending to be repaid, free rent, free office furniture, and free drugs from hospital pharmacies.[

In late 2002, HCA agreed to pay the U.S. government $631 million, plus interest, and pay $17.5 million to state Medicaid agencies, in addition to $250 million paid up to that point to resolve outstanding Medicare expense claims.[24] In all, civil law suits cost HCA more than $2 billion to settle, by far the largest fraud settlement in US history.

In February 2009, Scott founded Conservatives for Patients' Rights (CPR), which he said was intended to put pressure on U.S. Democrats to enact health care legislation based on free-market principles. Rick Scott want to continue ripping off the people and sky rocket health care costs in beneficial of his own pocket. That is why they want to dismantle Medicare and Medicaid and put them in free market to continue inhabiting fraudulence and ripping off the people!

TEA-PARTY ARE NOT WHAT PEOPLE THINK THEY ARE: http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Conservatives_for_Patients_Rights
Coordinating opposition to health insurance reform

In October 2009, Scott said CPR planned to remain focused on defeating the so-called "public option," a publicly-funded health insurance plan that would be affordable. He suggested to the other anti-reform groups that they each choose to focus their fire on "a single specific facet of each plan," like individual and employer mandates, "massive tax increases" or "deep cuts in Medicare.

Conservatives for Patients Rights (CPR) admits that it has undertaken a concerted effort to get people to turn out to town hall meetings nationally to protest health care reform. A spokesperson for the group, Brian Burgess, confirmed that CPR has been emailing out "town hall alert" flyers, and schedules of town hall meetings, to its mailing list. The flier calls the Public Option (a proposal for a government-sponsored, non-profit health insurance plan) "Patient Enemy #1."[5]

These efforts — combined with CPR’s efforts to enlist Tax Day Tea Party participants as reported by Talking Points Memo. offer a glimpse into how anti-reform groups are trying to create a sense of public momentum in their favor.
