Willard Mitt Romney (born March 12, 1947) is an American businessman and Republican political figure who was the 70th Governor of Massachusetts (2003 to 2007). He ran for President of the United States in the 2008 election, and is a likely candidate in the 2012 presidential election.

Romney is the son of George W. Romney (the former Governor of Michigan) and Lenore Romney. He was raised in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan and served as a Mormon missionary in France. He received his undergraduate degree from Brigham Young University, then earned a joint Juris Doctor/Master of Business Administration degree from the Harvard Law School and Harvard Business School. Romney entered the management consulting business which led to a position at Bain & Company, eventually serving as its CEO to lead it out of crisis. He was also co-founder and head of the spin-off company Bain Capital, a private equity investment firm which became highly profitable and one of the largest such firms in the nation. He ran as the Republican candidate in the 1994 U.S. Senate election in Massachusetts but lost to incumbent Edward M. Kennedy. Romney organized and steered the 2002 Winter Olympics as President and CEO of the Salt Lake Organizing Committee, and helped turn the troubled games into a financial success.

Romney won the election for Governor of Massachusetts in 2002, but did not seek reelection in 2006. During his term, he presided over a series of spending cuts and increases in fees while the state's finances improved. He signed into law the landmark Massachusetts health care reform legislation, which provided near-universal health insurance access via subsidies and state-level mandates. During the course of his political career, his positions or rhetorical emphasis shifted more towards American conservatism in several areas, though his stances on many other issues have been consistent; this process continued with Romney becoming a candidate for the Republican nomination in the 2008 U.S. presidential election. In that contest, he won several caucuses and primaries but ultimately lost to John McCain. Since then he has published a book, No Apology: The Case for American Greatness, and also given speeches and raised campaign funds on behalf of fellow Republicans. Political observers and public opinion polls place him as a front-runner for the Republican nomination in the 2012 presidential election.

Shocking material on Michelle - Game Changer!! If you can sit through the video and at the end still want to hate Michelle Obama, then by all means, do your thing. Barack Obama's wife and a brief history & biography of her south side girl upbringing in this video from the Democratic Convention. John McCain and Cindy McCain. GOP Vice President Mitt Romney Joe Lieberman Lindsey Graham and the rest are no doubt going to enjoy watching this video - and pretending they didn't watch it. That's the fun of Republican Politics. Saying one thing and then pretending the other. Video has photos of Michelle Obama's father and mother, stories from her parents and brief glimpses of her life as told by her brother, friends and co-workers.

LEARN THE TRUTH HERE VISIT rabbithole2.com to learn about the coming changes. PLEASE RATE, FAVORITE, EMBED, AND LINK TO THIS VIDEO. In this video you will see Dr. Ron Paul expose his true beliefs. Unlike Rudolph Giuliani, Mitt Romney, Hillary Clinton, Barak Obama, Mike Huckabee, Dennis Kucinich, and John Mccain, Dr. Ron Paul has chosen to go down a very different path. Find out about the truth of this direction he wants to lead America in. If you plan to vote for Ron Paul in the 2008 Presidential elections, this is a must see. The debates and polls are favoring Hillary Clinton, Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani, and Huckabee. Ron Paul shows his true colors in this video. So far Ron Paul has gotten very little coverage by CNN, Fox News, ABC News, CBS NEWS, NBC News, CNCB News, and CNN Headline News. He is getting very little coverage by Bill Oreilly, Sean Hannity, Kieth Olbermann, Glenn Beck, Brian Williams, Anderson Cooper, Wolf Blitzer, Rush Limbaugh, or any other media personality. Ron Paul has mentioned a North American Union, NAU, a NAFTA super highway, the Trans Texas Corridor TTC, and used the term New World Order NWO in referring to globalists. The Union of The United States, Canada, and Mexico is in much speculation these days. As the Ron Paul Revolution grows, it is important to know the issues supported by the candidates. As seen with the Nov 5th Money Bomb, the Dec 16th money bomb will make history. Also known as the Teaparty 07, The Tea Party 07, and the Libertea <b>...</b>

Mark Larsen of 1040 AM WWBA interviewed Mitt Romney on the morning of 1/29/2008. The sneers and chuckles from slippery Romney pushed him over the edge and drove him to support the only real candidate -- Ron Paul. Call your local radio stations and mention Ron Paul! More info here: ronpaulchat.net Digg this: digg.com digg.com For the detractors who think this whole thing was staged, here's the entire interview (which would not fit on Youtube): www.1040wwba.com **UPDATE FROM MARK LARSEN** 1/30/2008 I am so grateful for all of the response from Ron Paul supporters. You folks are awesome! I have so many emails pouring in I cannot possibly thank everyone. I started early this morning trying to, at least, send a "Thank you, note to all -- but I can't keep up!! Please blog this message on the boards, so everyone will know how grateful I am for the support. I don't know where to start. Sorry my show isn't syndicated -- the networks won't have anything to do with me. I've been on the air here in Tampa Bay almost 30 years. I was the first one in this region to put Congressman Paul on the radio back in the early 90's, regarding the Federal Reserve. Yours in Liberty Thank you!! :-) Mark Larsen, Morning Host NewsTalk AM 1040 WWBA Tampa Bay

Mitt Romney certainly has a way with words. His words speak volumes about John McCain. If Mitt Romney were being true to himself he would also rebuke John McCain for his lying ad about Barack Obama saying his sexual predator protection for kids WASN'T a sex-ed bill - but one designed to help families and children - and rebuke him for all of McCain's recent ads which are lying about Barack Obama and his campaign, including his reference to Lipstick on a Pig - which McCain has used himself against Hillary Clinton - no irony there. McCain Palin will say or do ANYthing to get into the White House - what do you think they'll do once they get there? Can you say George W. Bush? - another Republican who would do or say anything despite the truth. Time to say Republicans - you have had enough chance to lead and you have failed - it is time to let someone from the party that made America GREAT in the 90's and left us with a surplus in the bank, not the one that dragged us to the edge of a new, Great Depression. Even Alan Greenspan said McCain has NO idea what he is doing - and this is the economy of our great nation at stake. We need more than someone who keeps repeating 'maverick' - we need someone who can get the job done and who has the energy, the youthful desire and the fortitude to take us 8 years and further down the road to success. McCain-Palin - a slow motion trainwreck. As a Republican who actually accomplished working with the Right, Left AND Middle of the country to <b>...</b>
