Charlie’s House

Of all the people currently running for the office of President of the United States, I think Mitt Romney is the one who worries me the most. Mr. Romney has shown a remarkable ability to throw out his “deeply held” personal beliefs in favor of whatever happens to be politically expedient at the time. In other words, the only thing Mitt Romney truly believes in is the promotion and elevation of Mitt Romney. My guess is that Mr. Romney is running for President of the United States not because he believes he can lead us into a better tomorrow, but because it’s the highest office in the land. In the realm of self-promotion, it doesn’t get any higher than President of the United States.

The press has, for the most part, stopped talking about it, so I thought I’d throw this reminder out there. Mitt Romney has reversed his position on following issues:

• Gay rights
• Abortion rights
• 2nd Amendment
• Illegal Immigration

There are more issues that the Governor has flipped on, including campaign finance reform, minimum wage increases, stem cell research, I only included those above because they seem to be ‘core’ Republican values – items that the majority of Republicans seem to agree on. For a more comprehensive list, take a look at this site.

Republicans I ask you this: do you want a man in the oval office who represents nothing but his own self-promotion? Mitt Romney is using your beliefs – beliefs that he does not hold in his own heart – as a spring board to the presidency. If elected, what do you think Romney will do with the power at his disposal? You can only assume that he’ll use that power to further promote himself.

So, if you are supporting Mitt Romney’s run for the highest office in the land, I urge you to re-think your support.
