The Des Moines Register officially endorsed Mitt Romney on Saturday evening. It was the first time in 40 years that Iowa’s largest newspaper had chosen a Republican presidential candidate in 40 years. The paper, often regarded as the state’s most influential, cited Romney’s experience working in a bipartisan manner and his private sector success among the reasons for the endorsement.
An excerpt from the Des Moines Register endorsement reads:
“Voters should give Mitt Romney a chance to correct the nation’s fiscal course and to implode the partisan gridlock that has shackled Washington and the rest of America – with the understanding that he would face the same assessment in four years if he does not succeed.”
The Iowa newspaper also applauded Romney’s plan to foster economic growth by expanding trade, lowering taxes, increasing energy production, and balancing the federal budget. The editorial also noted the Republican presidential candidate’s experience balancing a budget in a largely “Blue” state as an accomplishment which should be repeated on a national level.
The editorial staff had this to say when cautioning Romney not to play partisan politics in the same manner that they considered President Obama had during his term:
“Romney should not squander an opportunity to build consensus in Washington by wasting time on issues that animate many in his party. We must make it easier for immigrants to come here to live and work legally and stop making criminals of those who are living here lawfully, paying taxes and raising families. The federal government must continue to insist on clean air and water and encourage clean and renewable energy.”
The Des Moines Register gave President Obama credit for initiating the stimulus during tumultuous fiscal times. The paper had this to say about the past four years:
“The president’s best efforts to resuscitate the stumbling economy have fallen short. Nothing indicates it would change with a second term in the White House.”
Mitt Romney tweeted his appreciation for the highly-sought after endorsement. According to the Los Angeles Times, Romney relayed the following:
“We need Iowa to help get America back on track. I am honored to have the Des MoinesRegister’s endorsement.”
Vote Romney-
Why you ask? America deserves more than self centered leadership from one an entire nation, and the free world depend on to survive. “American’s deserve the truth”, his own words campaigning the day after debate to his unthinking mass of worshipers. “Bull Shiter” he calls his rival as he runs despicable campaign for reelection. What an embarrassment incumbent Obama has proven to be while holding the highest office other’s have tarnished over the years. Two wrongs don’t make a President!
America deserves more from a leader of the noblest nation to exist than a “Rock Star in Chief”! Open microphone catches the leader of America telling Russia’s leader to be patient till after his reelection! The news hears nothing to report on. The few true reporters who do listen to the words coming out of his mouth, are ridiculed by the controlled press. Sounds like Russia, not America to me.
“Freedom of the press’ meant something once IN THIS IF NOT ANY OTHER COUNTRY. Free from restraint of government control, for the people’s good. Our champions ferreting out corruption, exposing any who dared harm or cheat America, no matter the power they faced. Afraid yet willing to stand up to any, even if alone. When did the last one die? Why have none come forward to carry on? Where is he or she buried, the champion of truth so I may go honor him or her at their graveside? Will I find flowers adorning their final resting place, or will it be as barren as their replacements souls?
What form of payment, how many pieces of silver, to deny America Truth? We have to know as a nation, I have to know as a man. I am not afraid to ask.
them why, those views men we suffer today, its their reply to me I fear. How can I believe them, as all they do is lie. Change the channel and the story does also, edited or out of context, with smirks replacing smiles. Thrills run down one’s leg, as denial of facts are spoken as gospel, to gullible minds.
Evil exists today despite denial of truth from America’s highest elected in the land. Extremists continue their unjust battle over all America stands for today, and evermore, no matter what Obama claims. Campaigning forever during this first and hopefully last term, while brave son’s of America, begged for help and died unaided. Why? I’ll tell you why-
A cry for help drowned out by Obama campaign applause. With the release of State Department documents from Ambassador Stevens and others stationed in Libya, proves personal ambitions of current Admin outweighed their lives.
American’s have been told falsehoods, backed by biased media as Candy Crowley’s debate backing of lies prove beyond a shadow of doubt to us now. Why? What justification has President Obama’s admin for ignored pleas for protection, the last one on these brave Americans day of horrible death?
To win an election, while four of Americas finest lost their lives needlessly, is of little or no concern to certain so called News people today.
Many weeks of story about video allowed by them all despite growing evidence of actual terror attack. Why?
Read the many pages released , and ask them (The so called news) why the truth is so easily offset for personal reasons each of them have. It is not a party issue, it is a moral one.
Four dead Americans deserve answers, as well as their family and friends, and us. Their funerals broadcast on many channels, used as a platform to promote the story of the video, the lie. Why?
Why if not for the sake of reelection of President Obama? Why? Please give me another reason. Prove to me it is not true. I need to know why. Our people died begging for help from America, their country and ours. Why?
WHY? WHY? OBAMA?
At this point I cannot imagine anyone in their right mind voting for Mitt Romney. The lack of climate change initiatives aside, which President Obama has, facts show, made clear advancements in, with the the Romney/Ryan ticket, we have an as yet "un-determined" economic/jobs plan that "somehow" adds up to 12,000,000 jobs, a tax system with no details (other than that the rich will pay no more than now, which studies show most Americans agree is too little), while adding "trillions" to the military which they have not asked for, all as the social equality and equal rights of minorities (women, visual minorities, GLBT, victims of sexual assault, religious minorities) greatly worsen. Who on earth would choose to vote for this? It certainly isn't going to ensure American success, peace or prosperity. It certainly isn't kind. It certainly isn't forward. And it certainly isn't Christian.
Obamas plan>>> The late Harvard Professor Saul Alinsky wrote that the key to weaken — then take over America, its economy and its people — is to “DESTROY THE MIDDLE CLASS.” Alinsky advocated use of class and race warfare. He believed that “wealth redistribution,” taking from those who work and giving it to those who don’t, is the catalyst to bring down the U.S. economy and free-market capitalism. After four years in office, Obama is well on his way to doing just that. Alinsky’s socialist guidebook is embedded in Obama’s record of economic policies that he has visited upon all Americans and their families — specifically the “middle class.”
It should be noted that Alinsky began his book, Rules for Radicals, with a tribute to: “…the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom – Lucifer.” Alinsky championed and sought to emulate Lucifer, otherwise known as Satan. Alinsky’s game plan was to lie, cheat and steal elections in order to control the American people and bring American commerce to its knees. Excerpt from my April 2010 article: Power At Any Cost: The Training of Barack Obama:
Ps its very Christian to stand against a pro sin, anti JESUS Marxist. Who has twisted scripture to justify rebellion to God. Obamas a wicked tyrant who calls evil good and good evil. God controls the weather, man gives the weather report.
Luke 12:56
Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky. How is it that you don't know how to interpret this present time?
