Roane County Republican Party

Over the next few months much will made of the fact that in his business career Mitt Romney made tough decisions, hard decisions, the kinds of decisions required to save troubled companies. Obama and his sycophants will try to paint Mitt as a ruthless parasite who dismantled companies, selling off the various bits for huge profits. This just isn't true.

When Mitt's company took over a business it was with the intent to make a failing business survive - sometimes it did and sometimes it did not. This is nothing new to business. Obama's bosom-pal Warren Buffet made hundreds of billions of dollars this way.

In fact, what would you do if you had to save an unprofitable business from itself?  What steps would you take to salvage a company that was not profitable as a whole but parts that shown profit potential?  Would you cut loose the bad parts to save the good? Give up some jobs to save others? Or would you let the patient die?

Doctors amputate gangrenous limbs and cancerous organs for good reason and so businessmen cut rot out of sick companies.

Mitt is no villain. Sure to those who lost their jobs, he may be, but not to those still working at companies he helped to save.

So during this campaign don't just listen to the sort sighted, the jealous, and those who have a vested interest in overlooking the realities of business. Seek out the success stories - many of Romney's patients are alive and well today as a result of his having made the tough calls and hard decisions to trim off the parts dragging those businesses into bankruptcy.

And isn't that the kind of man we need as POTUS, a man who has spent his life making the tough calls with thousands of jobs at stake?  Indeed don't we need a battle hardened businessman, a savvy entrepreneur like Mitt rather than race-baiting, rabble-rousing, Acorn organizing leftist like Obama!
