Romney Is Out of Touch

Rubio when talking to ABC on August 28, 2012 in regard to Chris Christie’s speech said - “What he was saying was, well, some of the tough choices we’re going to have to make are not going to be necessarily popular but that’s what leadership is about. The conclusion he reached in the speech was the one that he needed to reach and the right one and that’s Mitt Romney is the guy, the only one running for President that’s going to tell us the hard truth so it’s going to help us to confront the problems that we have”. I’m not going to get into Mitt being called an Etch-A-Sketch guy during the debates.

Mitt Romney signed the Family Leader's "Marriage Vow" pledge in August, 2011 and on January 7, 2012 Romney said “…the nation will presumably be better off if children are raised where there is a male and a female and there’s many cases where that’s not possible (divorce, single parent) but we should not encourage situations other than the ideal setting of a man and a woman”. According to a June CNN/ORC International Survey, support for marriage equality stands at 54% nationwide, with those ages 18–34 supporting marriage equality by 73%.

On November 10, 2011 Romney said he’s willing to go to war to keep Iran from getting nuclear weapons; this was repeated during his recent trip overseas where in one week he made friends with one country while angering 5. 

Let’s not forget the October 2011 Time magazine article that said: bankers are trying to gut the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and are putting their money on Mitt Romney who said he’d repeal the law – thus letting Wall Street go back to the types of transactions that lost people their retirements and bankers conducting business so it increases costs to Americans and takes away their homes. (Mitt was linked to the Stanford Financial Group that collapsed in 2009 with charges of massive and ongoing fraud against its investors; it was the second largest Ponzi scheme, behind Madoff).

Romney and the Republican Party are out of touch with the American people; there’s more proof of this to come.
