Romney says farewell to Florida after final rally in Orlando

 

SANFORD, FL -- Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney said farewell to Florida voters on Monday morning, making his final stop here at the top of a four-stop, four-state tour of battleground states on the second-to-last day of the election.

With less than 24 hours before Election Day, Governor Mitt Romney headed to Sanford, Fla., where he stressed how critical the state was in securing his victory over President Obama.

Romney, whose path to the White House would be significantly endangered by a loss in Florida, said that a better tomorrow begins with a Romney victory on Tuesday.

"Tomorrow, we begin a better tomorrow. This nation is going to change for the better tomorrow. Your work is making a difference, the people of the world are watching, the people of America are watching," Romney said at an airplane hangar rally in an Orlando suburb this morning. "We can begin a better tomorrow tomorrow, and with the help of the people in Florida, that's exactly what's going to happen."

Romney, joined by Republican statehouse leaders past and present, including sitting Florida Gov. Rick Scott, and the popular former Gov. Jeb Bush, urged Floridians to get to the polls on Tuesday, asking for "every single vote."

"Look, we have one job left and that's to make sure that on election day we get, make certain that everybody who's qualified to vote gets out to vote," Romney said. "We need every single vote in Florida."

Advisers to the campaign say that of the three biggest swing states -- Florida, Virginia and Ohio -- they're most confident about a victory in Florida on Tuesday, and the candidate's schedule reflects that confidence.

This morning's rally marked Romney's final appearance in the sunshine state. He has two more rallies planned today in Virginia, and the Associated Press has reported the campaign is considering adding one last Ohio rally on Tuesday, after what was expected to be Romney's final appearance in that state at an airport hangar rally this afternoon

Mitt "47%" Romney is a sneering old plutocrat, who is banking on getting away with whatever he wants.

It was all given to Romney on a platter. Yet he would deprive other human beings to satisfy his greed for money & power, without a backward glance.

RomneyRyan propose a new $5Trillion tax cut that will give Romney's billionaire donor Adelson, a $2.3Billion tax cut.

To pay for this tax cut, families with children will pay an additional $2,000 a year. GOP/Koch's consistent position is that vulnerable Americans should pay more - so that wealthy Americans can pay less.

RomneyRyan: Whatever it takes and whoever it hurts - to put more money into the pockets of the corporate right.

From a Pennsylvania voter after last nights Romney's rally.

Florida, generosity needs to be at the heart of your next President!!

TWENTY-EIGHT, yes, 28, reasons why Romney has the right stuff and will win the White House and lead America back to greatness. Please, by all means, I ENCOURAGE readers to verify this all yourself using multiple, independent sources, like I did over a period of almost 5 years of reading and learning about Mitt Romney as I developed this list. Not one single statement came from a Romney website or mailer.

If you like it, please, PLEASE copy and paste it all over the internet wherever you can. America is simply too precious to not fight for....

ROMNEY:

- Graduated with “University Honors” from BYU (also known as “Highest Honors”, their most prestigious form of recognition, somewhat equivalent to valedictorian) with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English; he’s not just a numbers guy.

- Master’s degree in Business (Harvard, a B
aker's scholar: top 5% of business students).

- Master’s degree in Law (Harvard, graduated Cum Laude / with Honors, top 1/3 of his class).

- Earned both master’s degrees (business AND law) at Harvard University simultaneously (Could you do that? I couldn’t.)

- Had an incredible 80% success rate in private business and now worth between $200 and $250 million (compare this to Obama and many of Obama's closest advisers who have never had to turn a profit or go hungry, and, no, don't whine about workers Romney let go when investing in a company while at Bain Capital because you'd be forgetting to look at: A) the fact that Bain was INVITED by the companies to have Bain invest in them; there were no “hostile takeovers” by Bain Capital and B) the workers' jobs Romney saved by saving a dying company and C) the jobs he created after those struggling companies were turned around and started to grow again.

http://theweek.com/article/index/228422/4-good-things-bain-capital-did-on-mitt-romneys-watch

- Gave away his inheritance in 1998 to start / help fund the “George W. Romney Institute of Public Management” at BYU (his father, George Romney, died in 1995).

- As head of the 2002 Winter Olympics (Salt Lake City) turned a potential loss (-$379M shortfall) into one of the few profit-earning Olympic games (+$100M profit).

- Donated his entire Olympic Games salary and severance package ($1.4M) to charity.

- Put aside partisanship prejudices/trash-talk by successfully campaigning/winning the governor's seat (2003 – 2007) as a Republican in a heavily Democrat-controlled state LONG before Scott Brown.

- While governor of Massachusetts, at HIS request, served the people of MA at the salary of $1/year (that’s right, ONE DOLLAR).

- Previous executive leadership experience as a state governor, including Massachusetts' Commander In Chief of state military forces (Yes, a state governor is legally the Commander In Chief of that state's National Guard forces unless those troops are called to active-duty by the President).

- Turned Massachusetts' budget from red to black while governor (- $3.0B to +$2.16B; that’s “billion” with a “B”).

- Cut taxes 19 times as Massachusetts governor (that’s not a typo, NINETEEN).

- As MA governor, developed a plan that would make deadbeats pay for their own health care (you may not like the MA health care law but that's what it's sole purpose was. Still don't like it because of the mandate? Don't move to MA.) (BTW, how would YOU have solved the MA healthcare free-loader problem and how would you have done it with an overwhelmingly Democrat-controlled state legislature like Romney had to work with?)

- “Service over self”. Romney endorsed McCain only 2 days after ‘Super Tuesday’ in 2008 when it became obvious McCain was the clear front-runner; America is more important to him than his ego (Can you say “He’s not Newt Gingrich or Rick Santorum”?)

- Volunteer service to community as a church head pastor for 13 years all with ZERO pay (that's right, none); 5 years as a “bishop” and 8 years as a “stake president”.

- Would give ALL his Presidential salary ($1.6 Million total) back to the American taxpayers if elected (yes, he's on record as committing to this).

- Voluntarily turned down enrolling in Medicare when he turned 65 on March 12, 2012.
(in other words, he’s NOT sucking up our precious tax dollars because he knows he can, and therefore should, take care of himself).

- He also chose to NOT receive any Social Security payments upon turning 65 because, again, he knows he can take care of himself and therefore should not rely on our tax dollars to help fund his daily living.

- Looks, talks and acts "Presidential".

- Understands commitment (never divorced, in a loving 43 year marriage).

- Understands morality (never had an affair).

- Understands family (5 kids, all successful adults).

- Willing to let all of America see his birth certificate without a fight.

- Released his last 2 years of filed tax records (2010 AND 2011) proving he’s not a tax cheat; paid $1.94 million in federal income taxes in 2011giving him an effective tax rate of 14.1%. AND, the private firm which prepared Romney’s taxes from 1990 through 2009 issued a letter stating that Romney paid 100% of the federal and state income taxes owed during those 20 years. The firm also said Romney’s average annual effective federal tax rate was 20.2% for those 20 years. Satisfied?

http://money.cnn.com/2012/09/21/pf/taxes/romney-tax-return/index.html

- Cares about his fellow man: gave $3,000,000 to charity in 2010 and $4,000,000 to charity in 2011; that’s $7 MILLION in just 2 years. Would you have done that? Romney did.

http://www.nypost.com/p/news/opinion/opedcolumnists/romney_the_giver_7nLMOZGuIo2zq1LmrNInjN

- He’s pledged (repeatedly) that he’ll repeal Obamacare and replace it with something better.

- And finally…..he’s N-O-T Obama.

P.S. - If all one can say about a candidate is that they are a member of "X" church and ignore the talents and character of the person, that person does not deserve the privilege of voting.

It's going to be fun tonite to see him have his last rally.

And tomorrow will be the last time we will cast our vote for him in our lifetimes.

People here are saying that they will do everything in their power to see President Obama somewhere, sometime while he's still our president in the next 4 years.

As one woman said to me this morning - I want to see him with my own eyes. I want to hear him with my own ears. She is taking her children to vote tomorrow nite, just as she did 4 years ago.

Hooray for Hollywood - particularly Kevin Bacon, George Clooney, Rob Reiner.

Obama 'revenge' comment roils campaign

3:08PM EDT November 3. 2012 - CLEVELAND -- The new campaign buzzword: Revenge.

As Republican challenger Mitt Romney makes much of President Obama's comment in a Friday speech that "voting is the best revenge," Obama aides say the comment reflects Romney "scare tactics."

Obama made the comment as part of a familiar speech riff; when audience members boo the mention of Romney's name, the president habitually says, "don't boo -- vote"

On Friday in Springfield, Ohio, Obama added the phrase: "Voting is the best revenge."

I voted for American values. We need American Leadership with a strong national defense. I cast my vote for Barack Obama! I hope you do the same.

We know what the past four years have been like. We need to continue to grown and rebuild our economy and Barack Obama is the only choice to make to ensure that growth. We need to vote out as many of the Republican obstructionists as possible and show the Tea Party they don't own our country and never will.

Vote to keep the country moving foward under President Obama - not to take it back to the dark ages under Mitt Romney.

Those "revenge" comments are so stupid. Obama said something at a rally, the crowd booed, and he said something like, "No, no go out and vote. Voting is the best revenge." It was a spur of the moment comment in reaction to the crowd. Romney's supporters are full of gimmicks and half truths. What the Romney people won't admit is that they are voting for the biggest liar in American politics since Nixon. But Republicans just love dirty pool. They always have. The right just dotes on the likes of Gordon Liddy, Oliver North, and Pat Buchanan. They still have a microphone even though they were criminal OR they brag about illegal dirty tricks.

RomneyRyan have not been called out on hundreds and hundreds of serious, dangerous lies they have told.

We have colloquialisms in our language - and evil, ignorant people like RyanRomney will try to reinvent their intent.

RomneyRyan skewed the Presidents words over and over again over this election season. For example - We Built That - was arrived at by cutting and splicing a great comment the President made about working together to get things done.

That particular comment is smacking GOP-ers in the face right now - because without Federal help, businesses in New York and New Jersey would not stand a cat's chance of being REBUILT.

Romney used hundreds of millions of federal dollars for his private business, and for the Olympics.

Ryan did College using his father's Social Security. And with the help of Ryan's Inc - the Ryan family's business in road and highway building (since 1884) that has used hundreds of millions in Federal funds.

Chris,

And now we know Harry Reid was right when he said Romney paid zero taxes for TEN years.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-10-29/romney-avoids-taxes-via-loophole-cutting-mormon-donations.html

@Backhouse

How do you extrapolate a 750K charitable annuity into paying zero taxes on 20m per year?

Please answer with verifiable links and not speculation.

However, it does go to show that Romney knows how reduce tax rates by closing loopholes as I am sure this is one of the loopholes in his aim. BTW, where was the President on closing loopholes? How many has he closed over the last four years? Seems he has no problem using that foreign income loophole or else he would not be paying a 20.5% tax rate on earnings of over 750K.

But the Obamas' tax bite was slightly lower than the rate paid by the president's secretary, Anita Decker Breckenridge, who makes a $95,000 salary, the White House confirmed on Friday.

The White House would not disclose what Breckenridge paid, saying only that it was a "slightly higher rate" than her boss'. That "is exactly why we need to reform our tax code and ask the wealthiest to pay their fair share," said White House spokeswoman Amy Brundage.

The Senate is due to vote next week on the rule, which would require those making more than $1 million to pay at least 30% in federal taxes. It is all but certain to be blocked by Senate Republicans.

The rule, however, would not have affected Obama's taxes had it been in place last year, because his income in 2011 fell below $1 million. The Obamas earned more in the previous few years —as much as $5.5 million in 2009 — because of sales of Obama's books.

then Romney is not your guy because Romney has zero credibility in American Jobs

ROmney had also balanced Mass budget on the backs of Mass residents to pay for the tax cuts for the rich. He increased fees on Mass residents by $500 million the first year alone. He increased property taxes on average by 24%, and he increase state college tuition by over 60%.

Romney has no way of paying for his $5T tax cuts + $2T increased defense spending.

So you see, vote for Romney is will burden your children and grandchildren because Romney has already proven that. Not only does he expect the 98% to pay for the Romney tax cuts + extra spending, he will also add to the debt for your children and grandchildren.

In an election such as this there are enough real differences for each man to make a case for their view of government and where the future lies. Unfortunately both candidates, started by the President's team in spring, decided to make this personal and attempt to destroy the other's character. To his credit, I have not heard Romney question the President's character in the same manner as Chicago has attempted to destroy Romney, the steel workers wife dying of cancer was a particularly distasteful episode.

All I can say is that for a candidate that was elected on "Hope", and whose opponent in that campaign stayed away from character assassination, Senator McCain, it is depressing that he has been reduced to this level of campaigning.

Having said that, Barack Obama's personality has been protected by the media, but his disdain for his opponents has come through in every election race he has been involved in.

    I find it ironic that you hold Obama campaign responsible for independent group's ad about man's wife dying of cancer while separating McCain's comments from Romney campaign.

    You practice a double standard here. By law, Obama campaign cannot tell independent group what ads to run. I doubt if Romney campaign controls McCain either.

    Karl Rove and Paul Ryan did meet with others on Obama's inauguration day to plot strategy to "make Obama fail" even if that meant making efforts to end the recession fail too.

    I find it ironic that you hold Obama campaign responsible for independent group's ad about man's wife dying of cancer while separating McCain's comments from Romney campaign.

    You practice a double standard here. By law, Obama campaign cannot tell independent group what ads to run. I doubt if Romney campaign controls McCain either.

    I was referring to McCain's 2008 campaign that refused to attack Obama personally on the issue of Reverend Wright. As to the super pac being independent I think we all know that if the campaign thinks a commercial is hurting them they have ways of communicating this to the super pac. Either way the Obama campaign never even condemned the commercial, they simply claimed their hands were clean. It would be very easy for an official spokesperson to condemn it and ask that it be removed.

    As to Rove and Ryan meeting to plot strategy can you at least get the participants right.

    The event -- which provides a telling revelation for how quickly the post-election climate soured -- serves as the prologue of Robert Draper's much-discussed and heavily-reported new book, "Do Not Ask What Good We Do: Inside the U.S. House of Representatives."

    According to Draper, the guest list that night (which was just over 15 people in total) included Republican Reps. Eric Cantor (Va.), Kevin McCarthy (Calif.), Paul Ryan (Wis.), Pete Sessions (Texas), Jeb Hensarling (Texas), Pete Hoekstra (Mich.) and Dan Lungren (Calif.), along with Republican Sens. Jim DeMint (S.C.), Jon Kyl (Ariz.), Tom Coburn (Okla.), John Ensign (Nev.) and Bob Corker (Tenn.). The non-lawmakers present included Newt Gingrich, several years removed from his presidential campaign, and Frank Luntz, the long-time Republican wordsmith. Notably absent were Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) -- who, Draper writes, had an acrimonious relationship with Luntz.

    For several hours in the Caucus Room (a high-end D.C. establishment), the book says they plotted out ways to not just win back political power, but to also put the brakes on Obama's legislative platform.

    Now explain to me how attempting to slow down the President's legislative platform is any different from what Harry Reid has threatened....even before the election BTW I think Reid has every right to make the statement that he will not work with Romney, what I don't understand is why you think Republicans should support Obama's agenda.

      I don't see Romney campaign not condemning all those Republican attacks on Obama as being any different except that there have been way more attacks against Obama's character.

      Stimulus spending was necessary to stop the Recession and speed recovery. Republicans supported $120 billion stimulus in Feb 2008. Republicans supported Bush stimulative tax cuts in aftermath of 2001 .com recession. Republicans supported Reagan's almost tripling the national debt to stimulate the economy during and after 1982-1983 recession. We have used stimulus spending since Hoover to shorten recessions and speed recoveries. The success of stimulus spending to end recessions and speed recovery is well documented. That these guys chose to make Obama fail is a political end. That they badmouthed the stimulus as failing is a political determination as well. and it did damage to consumer confidence when our consumers needed encouragement not fear.

      Republicans should have supported the stimulus because it is what our economy needed in Feb 2009 to avoid a deeper and more damaging recession. -8.5% growth in 4th quarter 2008(revised figure from Summer 2009) demanded it.

      I accept there have been attacks on Obama mainly from idiots in the Republican party with Romney's biggest mistake being not repudiating Trumps infantile attacks. If nothing else they were attempts to garner publicity for Trump so attacking Trump would have been no great loss.

      However, as much as a stimulus was needed, and pumping that amount of money into the economy could not help but increase economic activity, I for one was not happy with the structure of the spending.

        “A coalition of community, labor and good government organizations is calling on the U.S. Office of Government Ethics to investigate presidential candidate Mitt Romney for noncompliance with the Ethics in Government Act and compel him to either disclose his investments or divest them,” according to the United Auto Workers Union, who requested the charges.

        The Romney profits came from Adelphi, a former parts supplier of the Delco division of General Motors. Adelphi was not technically supposed to be included in the federal bailout money given to the auto industry. But since neither GM nor Chrysler could survive without parts from Adelphi, $12.9 million in federal bailout money was demanded by investors and eventually diverted to hedge funds that Mitt and Ann Romney bought into.

        Romney did not disclose his windfall profits from Delphi in his June 1, 2012, Public Financial Disclosure Report to the office of Government Ethics, “because he did not disclose the underlying holdings of his private equity and limited partnership funds,” according to the UAW.

        With the UAW charges coming to light, the reason for Mitt Romney’s hiden tax returns becomes more apparent and more important as he seeks the presidency.

          Not kept? Oh, that's easy - the policy of routine waterboarding and torture of terrorist suspects. That was one of the biggest blunders of the Bush administration, abandoning the high ethical ground in a battle against a terrorist misusing religion meant abandoning out best political weapon against Alqaida.

          Or how about replacing "no child left behind" with a new policy that actually improved school performance.

          Or replacing the Bush policy of ignoring companies that hired illegals, instead stepping up investigations of those companies, performing raids and filing charges where warranted.

I mean, sure - if O wins, they'll gloat like snotty know-it-all brats. If Romney wins, they'll cry foul, stolen election, voter disenfranchising, etc. But it'll get old eventually and they'll have to move on to the next subject...and perhaps start looking for a job.

            Obama sycophants are the most deluded people on the planet. Truly sad that people who can read and write can't think for themselves.

            On Sunday, November 4th, 2012, CBS released previously withheld portions of an interview conducted with Obama on September 12th, 2012. The interviewer directly asked Obama if Benghazi was a terror attack. Obama indicated no. This was a contradiction to what Obama claimed in the second debate when President-elect Romney called obama out on his milk-toast reaction to the attack which claimed the lives of four Americans. Candy Crowley attempted to further the lie Obama had told in front of 60 million Americans watching on TV and alternate media.

            The left wing media has done America a disservice by carrying the water for the worst President in our nation's history.

                He'll be back in Florida. As soon as another 'opportunity' arises at a company where he can send American jobs overseas, he'll return with Bain. It will have to wait until after his APOLOGY TOUR starts with him apologizing to his millionaire and billionaire constituents for losing tomorrow!

                The Romney campaign is undoubtedly worried about the latest set of results in the polls, both nationally and in the key battleground states, that seem to show a vanishing path to victory (and to the White House).

                Poll after poll () shows the President with a comfortable lead in key states including Ohio, Pennsylvania, Iowa and even Florida.

                I no longer think that it's a question of 'if Obama will be reelected' but 'by how many votes'.

                Mitt Romney will win, because he is a junior varsity god; whereas, Obama is a mere mortal. To gain an existential understanding of the cult that produced Mitt Romney, and to get your socks scared off, read The Assassination of Spiro Agnew, available in paperback and e-book on Amazon

                Its unwilling, part-Mexican Mormon assassin dramatizes the Mormon superiority complex, manifesting it as racism, sexism, jingoism and an anti-federal government temperament. His research in the new library reveals ominous similarities between Islam and Mormonism. The spiritual power behind the cult, which is not the Holy Ghost, acts out.

                “With a clarity of language and vision unsurpassed in contemporary American prose, Steven Janiszewski’s Assassination of Spiro Agnew takes us into a U.S. mazed with madness and Mormonism and all things Utah, a U.S. that was then and still is. Readers, welcome to a masterpiece.”
                Tom Whalen

                Read The Assassination of Spiro Agnew.

                  We have to remember it is rare that this Nation has ever had a successful business man serve as President of the United States. Willard's business experience was to make money for investors and create jobs over seas.

                  Look at the records of business men such Hoover and Bush that were big failures, which crippled the Nation.

                  So let's not trust a so called business man to lead us. Remember anyone can be a business man, including a child with a kool aid stand.

                  Now, we will stick with the guy that was a College Professor, Lawyer, Successful Book Author, State Senator, US Senator and President of the United States

                        The ONLY way Romney wins is to steal the election, and I have no doubt GOP is trying to do that.

                        Americans....fellow Dems, Independents, moderate Repubs, do not let GOP steal the election....make sure your vote for President Obama counts....make sure your family and friends get to the voting booth.

                        I have to say that was the best line of his campaign ...

                        "When you have a fire in an aircraft, there's no place to go, exactly, there's
                        no – and you can't find any oxygen from outside the aircraft to get in the
                        aircraft, because the windows don't open. I don't know why they don't do that.
                        It's a real problem. So it's very dangerous. And she was choking and rubbing her
                        eyes. Fortunately, there was enough oxygen for the pilot and copilot to make a
                        safe landing in Denver. But she's safe and sound."

                          Romney only wanted the title of President, he didn't actually want to be President.

                          Yes, exactly, and the "title" was all he would have ever had. Remember all that Grover Norquist and Karl Rove want, "is someone with the correct number of digits who'll be able to hold a pen", they don't want a President they want a PUPPET. But too, they may have gotten a surprise, because Romney is a Mormon and he would only do as he was told, by the Church that has him by the ba--s. NO-ONE ELSE, not even the Koch Bros., will have the influence over him that the Church does, the Mormon's don't believe in the separation of Church and state, I know, I live in Utah, am an ex-Mormon and have seen first-hand how they operate here!! SO, don't be fooled, the Mormons have been salivating for years over having one of their own in the White House, so that they can force their ideology, onto the rest of the American people!!!

                          Good Riddance to Bad Rubbish, I along with 10 others exacted our Revenge and voted last Thursday, it was peaceful, and a miserable ordeal, the Ballot was 4 pages long, the early voting days had been reduced from 14 days to 8, the Sunday before election day had been eliminated, Souls to the Polls, traditionally the Sunday before done away with by the Rep. Governor Rick Scott. It took 3 hours but we prevailed, Scott has refused to extend voting hours, however, a Federal Judge has declared that Orange County, Orlando will have an additional 3 hours. Regardless of what the Republicans have tried to do here in Florida we have managed to get out the vote. Tomorrow looms. "Revenge Best Served Cold" coldly and peacefully Vote.

                          Sanford, very clever to have a rally there, site of Treyvone Martin Shooting and Stand Your Ground arena, should tell you something.

                                      John McCain came out with this on TV this morning. However, if they did come out for Romney that's their lost because they will be back in a WAR (Can anyone say with IRAN) as soon as Romney get his marching orders from John McCain (Chief War Monger), the Teapartiers and the rest of the GOP!

                                      Good Luck with That!

                                        I just hope Obama wins again. I've had more black puntang in the last 4 years then I've ever had. Must have something to do with having a black pres. I just tell them what a good job he's doing, and they eat it all up.

                                          Bluebarn, disgusting post and why? Just makes you stupid but not discriminatory where you put your major muscle. I guess something could be said for that. Typical horn-dog, std call.

                                          I was hired by the Romney campaign to encite violence, and promote racism.

                                          Also to keep the female vote distracted, while they discuss important issues on other threads.

                                            Romneywillsinkus, I looked, but got side-tracked by www.washingtonpost.com about what 9 mormon women had to say why they would not vote for Romney and they made some very strong points. I also found a good article on rollingstone about the Koch Brothers Exposed. This is another reason I would not vote for Romney. Actually if you are able to watch it on Netflix - it is a very disturbing documentary. Now, more than ever, it is important to vote for Obama, if nothing else, but to help defeat the Koch brothers.
