My Political Stance

Donald Trump frightens me.  I do not want him to be the President of the United States of America.  For as long as I can remember, his name has always been joined with over-blown drama, bigotry, bankruptcies, divorces, company buy-outs followed by collapses, and a type of blow-hard blasphemy that is amazing.  He has never impressed me on any level.  He openly admits that he uses tax and bankruptcy laws to escape debt and start anew.  He has been married multiple times to women who are not American born or bred.  He has quite a few children, and seems to be disgustingly sexually attracted to his own daughters.  He makes outrageous inaccurate statements and laughs them off.  Trump denigrates anyone who is not Caucasian male of European descent.  He treats women and racial minorities as people to be kicked in the teeth when they agree with him; and if those people do not agree with his statements, then he calls them names with a lot of profanity thrown in.
   This man seems to be a small-minded simple bigot, who should never have been allowed media coverage - for anything.  He sees himself as Mister America or Uncle Sam.  As a white female, I see him as Simon Legree.  If I had my way, I'd never hear his name, nor see him or hear him, ever again.  This man is making America the laughing stock of the world.  His Grand Old Party leaders need to put a barbed choke-chain collar around his neck and make him behave in a sensible manner.  But - I forgot - he is the Donald Trump, and feels he is above all laws of this earth.
   Heaven help us if he is elected.

From the Same Romney Fund-Raiser:

I cringed when Romney made the gaffes he did when he visited Europe this summer at the beginning of the Olympics.  In this new video, Mitt Romney tells donors the Middle East will "remain an unsolved problem... and we kick the ball down the field".  The video is from the same event as a clip released on Monday, in which Mr Romney says almost half of Americans "believe that they are victims".
** The leak comes seven weeks before the US presidential election.**
The new footage was posted today (Tuesday) on the website of the liberal investigative magazine Mother Jones, which said it was taken at a fundraiser in May in Boca Raton, Florida.  Mr. Romney is shown saying that Palestinians are "committed to the destruction and elimination of Israel".
"The Palestinians have no interest whatsoever in establishing peace," he says, adding that "the pathway to peace is almost unthinkable to accomplish".
   Mitt Romney's unguarded and undiplomatic remarks may reinforce the perception that he is an ingenue in the art of foreign affairs, with harsher views than he dare express in public. Still, what he has said is more likely to provoke reactions in the region he is talking about than at home, where many conservatives may share his views.

   It is still his suggestion that nearly half the American people he seeks to represent are losers living off the government, that will continue to resonate here. Again, it is about image - he has played into the hands of Democrats who want to portray him as rich and out of touch.

   It has been widely reported that there has been panic in his camp because of the post-convention Obama bump in the opinion polls. Under 50 days away from polling day, no candidate wants to be hastily refocusing their campaign amid a barrage of stories about catastrophic gaffes.

   In another clip, the former Massachusetts governor is shown discussing Iran's nuclear program, and warning that America itself could come under attack.  "If I were Iran - a crazed fanatic, I'd say let's get a little fissile material to Hezbollah, have them carry it to Chicago or some other place, and then if anything goes wrong, or America starts acting up, we'll just say, 'Guess what? Unless you stand down, why, we're going to let off a dirty bomb'."

   This person wants to lead our country?  Where all persons are created equal (except females)?  I'm sure the timing of the leak was considered closely by the folks at Mother Jones - and I must say they held their cards close to their chest for a good while.  Romney frightens me even more, now.

Recorded at a Mitt Romney Fund Raiser -

Yesterday we learned that Mitt Romney said this about Obama supporters to fellow millionaires at a closed-door fundraiser:
"There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the President no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. That that's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what...These are people who pay no income tax ...
 "My job is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives."
 The man who spoke these words -- who demonstrates such disgust and disdain for half of our fellow Americans -- wants to lead our country.  I think that kind of thinking on his part is frightening.
