Forbes’ TJ Walker Wants Mitt Romney To Answer 35 Questions–I Only Have Two
I have no doubt that Mitt Romney is a good family man. I have no doubt that he loves his wife, his family, and his Mormon Church. What I do doubt is that Mitt Romney is capable of empathy.
We laugh at Romney putting his dog on the roof of the car for a vacation. We disregard the story of him holding down a student he perceived was gay and cutting off his hair. He goes into a town and insults a bakery by dissing its donuts as being from Seven Eleven inasmuch as many middle class folks including myself enjoy a Seven Eleven donut every now and then. Without addressing the pain and deaths it will cause to millions of Americans, he claims he will repeal the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) knowing any new bill would take decades. He claims he would abolish Planned Parenthood.
To be fair, this was not the Mitt Romney of Massachusetts who was a pragmatic and fairly moderate Republican. But the Mitt Romney described above is the Mitt Romney that is asking America for its vote. Now if I believed Mitt Romney could do a better job on our economy, on our social policies, and on our social safety net, my patriotic duty would dictate that I consider voting for him. The problem is there is not much to work with.
Mitt Romney has made a pact with the far Right Wing that has changed him. As such I simply have two questions.
If elected will you renounce you alliance with the far Right Wing explicitly? If elected will you attempt to be empathetic to the travails of the middle class which is diametrically opposed to all that you have campaign on so far?
These are the questions every American should be asking for the sake of the health, financial, and social well-being of themselves, their family, and their country.
