ROMNEY'S JOB & ECONOMIC GROWTH PLAN
I am tired of hearing the media complain that Romney has no plan. He has a great plan to get this country back on track, vs. Barrack Obama whose only plan is massive taxation and outrageous spending.

LET MITT BE MITT
In the early days of the primary campaign I was in support of Herman Cain, the 9 9 9 man and bought one of his books. There is one passage in his book that stayed with me. It mentioned that when people asked him to do this or that or change something about himself, from early on in his career, his motto always was "let Herman be Herman".
Today I would like to pass this thought on to all that keep saying, Mitt Romney has to humanize himself, Ann's speech had to humanize him, or as we so often hear, Mitt has to define himself. My goodness, what does a guy have to do? As of today, anyone that says that me, my answer will be, "Let Mitt be Mitt". I have seen enough segments of his rallies, people that know him attest to the fact what an upstanding, successful, caring man he is, that it is time now to Let Mitt be Mitt. I see a family man that loves his wife, his 5 children and 18 grandchildren. I see a businessman that for years helped turn failing companies around and consequently created thousands of jobs. I see a man that had skills to turn a failing olympics around. I see a Governor that could work with an all democratic legislature in Massachussetts and bring their unemployment down to 4.7 %, I see a man that has a vision how to turn this rapidly failing economy around. I see a man over and over that knows how to surround himself with the best of the best in all areas of life and business and I believe that's what helped him become so successful. I've seen him wipe his tears when touched by an outpouring of support of him during the Michigan rally, I see him watch his beautiful wife Ann in adoration and with respect.
I see a man that is not running for president for himself, the power or the money. He is a man that cares about his country and feels a calling to step in and help turn it around just like he did when he ran Bain. Let Mitt be Mitt, he has the skillset, energy and vision how to fix the mess we are in.

WALL STREET JOURNAL SIZES UP OBAMA
Wall Street Journal Sizes Up Obama
A "deadly" article regarding Obama, at the Wall Street Journal, which today is the most widely circulated newspaper in America.
Article from the Wall Street Journal - by Alan Caruba:
"I have this theory about Barack Obama. I think
"I have this theory about Barack Obama. I think
he's led a kind of make-believe life in which money was provided and
doors were opened because at some point early on somebody or some
group (George Soros anybody?) took a look at this tall, good looking,
half-white, half-black, young man with an exotic African/Muslim name
and concluded he could be guided toward a life in politics where his
facile speaking skills could even put him in the White House.
doors were opened because at some point early on somebody or some

half-white, half-black, young man with an exotic African/Muslim name
and concluded he could be guided toward a life in politics where his
facile speaking skills could even put him in the White House.
In a very real way, he has been a young man in a
very big hurry. Who else do you know has written two memoirs before
the age of 45? "Dreams of My Father" was published in 1995 when he
was only 34 years old. The "Audacity of Hope" followed in 2006. If,
indeed, he did write them himself. There are some who think that his
mentor and friend, Bill Ayers, a man who calls himself a "communist
with a small 'c'" was the real author.

mentor and friend, Bill Ayers, a man who calls himself a "communist
with a small 'c'" was the real author.
His political skills consisted of rarely voting
on anything that might be deemed controversial. He went from a
legislator in the Illinois legislature to the Senator from that state
because he had the good fortune of having Mayor Daley's formidable
political machine at his disposal.
He was in the U.S. Senate so briefly that his bid
for the presidency was either an act of astonishing self-confidence
or part of some greater game plan that had been determined before he
first stepped foot in the Capital. How, many must wonder, was he
selected to be a 2004 keynote speaker at the Democrat convention that
nominated John Kerry when virtually no one had ever even heard of him
before?
He outmaneuvered Hillary Clinton in primaries. He
took Iowa by storm. A charming young man, an anomaly in the state
with a very small black population, he oozed "cool" in a place where
agriculture was the antithesis of cool. He dazzled the locals. And he
had an army of volunteers drawn to a charisma that hid any real
substance.
And then he had the great good fortune of having
the Republicans select one of the most inept candidates for the
presidency since Bob Dole. And then John McCain did something crazy.

And then he had the great good fortune of having
the Republicans select one of the most inept candidates for the
presidency since Bob Dole. And then John McCain did something crazy.
He picked Sarah Palin, an unknown female governor from the very
distant state of Alaska. It was a ticket that was reminiscent of
1984's Walter Mondale and Geraldine Ferraro and they went down to
defeat.
The mainstream political media fell in love with
him. It was a schoolgirl crush with febrile commentators like Chris
Mathews swooning then and now over the man. The venom directed
against McCain and, in particular, Palin, was extraordinary.
Now, 3 full years into his presidency, all of
those gilded years leading up to the White House have left him
unprepared to be President. Left to his own instincts, he has a
talent for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. It swiftly
became a joke that he could not deliver even the briefest of
statements without the ever-present Tele-Prompters.
Far worse, however, is his capacity to want to
"wish away" some terrible realities, not the least of which is the
Islamist intention to destroy America and enslave the West. Any
student of history knows how swiftly Islam initially spread. It
knocked on the doors of Europe, having gained a foothold in Spain.
The great crowds that greeted him at home or on
his campaign "world tour" were no substitute for having even the
slightest grasp of history and the reality of a world filled with
really bad people with really bad intentions.
Oddly and perhaps even inevitably, his political
experience, a cakewalk, has positioned him to destroy the Democrat
Party's hold on power in Congress because in the end it was never
about the Party. It was always about his communist ideology, learned
at an early age from family, mentors, college professors, and extreme
leftist friends and colleagues.
Obama is a man who could deliver a snap judgment
about a Boston police officer who arrested an "obstreperous" Harvard
professor-friend, but would warn Americans against "jumping to
conclusions" about a mass murderer at Fort Hood who shouted "Allahu
Akbar." The absurdity of that was lost on no one. He has since
compounded this by calling the Christmas bomber "an isolated
extremist" only to have to admit a day or two later that he was part
of an al Qaeda plot.
He is a man who could strive to close down our
detention facility at Guantanamo even though those released were
known to have returned to the battlefield against America. He could
even instruct his Attorney General to afford the perpetrator of 9/11
a civil trial when no one else would ever even consider such an
obscenity. And he is a man who could wait three days before having
anything to say about the perpetrator of yet another terrorist attack
on Americans and then have to elaborate on his remarks the following
day because his first statement was so lame.
The pattern repeats itself. He either blames any
problem on the Bush administration or he naively seeks to wish away
the truth.
Knock, knock. Anyone home? Anyone there? Barack
Obama exists only as the sock puppet of his handlers, of the people
who have maneuvered and manufactured this pathetic individual's life.
When anyone else would quickly and easily produce
a birth certificate, this man spent over a million dollars to deny
access to his. Most other documents, the paper trail we all leave in
our wake, have been sequestered from review. He has lived a
make-believe life whose true facts remain hidden.
We laugh at the ventriloquist's dummy, but what
do you do when the dummy is President of the United States.
We the people are coming!.

Mr. President, You asked for it, Icaucus answered........
Recently President Obama made disparaging remarks about the Tea Parties and grassroots movement. He challenged us to show him how we would fix the economy.
Here is the first answer from the Independence Caucus.
On October 1st, iCaucus (a “Grass Roots” National Citizens organization) has answered this challenge with the release of “Creating Jobs in America… Stimulating Solution #1 from the American Grass Roots”
Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUv4u9VE-do
This is just the first of a series of open letters to President Obama (and the rest of our out of touch elected officials) that will be released periodically over the next few weeks. Our next open letter will spell out how to fix the broken federal budget process in order to stop the out of control spending spree that Washington has embarked upon.

THE ECONOMICS OF MASS DESTRUCTION
While so many of us are currently involved in one or multiple campaigns, it is easy to lose sight of what is happening around us, or I should say, how the economy is continuing to crumble around us. As I was just tweeting for my candidate, Rocky Raczkowski, http://www.rockyworksforus.com/, I came across this article worth reading. It talks about how bad things are:
The Fallout of Economic Conformity
The logical conclusion of these failed policies is economic stagnation. Here is what massive government spending and taxation has done to our economy:
1.Total government (federal, state, and local) share of the economy has exceeded the tipping point, estimated to be between 15% and 20%, which is the point when it hinders economic growth. Presently total government spending for 2010 is estimated to be about 47% of the economy.
2.Taxation must rise substantially in order to pay for government debt, health and welfare entitlements, and other fixed government costs. The 2010 estimate of federal, state, and local taxes amount to about 30.4% of GDP (about $4.480 trillion).
3.Our total government debt (federal, state, and local) is estimated to be $16.635 trillion for 2010, approximately at 114% of our GDP (2010 E$14.623 trillion). Of total government debt, federal debt is estimated to be $13.787 trillion in 2010.

Will a house full of new congressmen change this situation? I do not think that even if we take control of the house and senate we will see an immediate change. I would like to hear your opinion.
