comMITTed to Romney!

Below is David MacKay’s first post for CommittedtoRomney.com. I asked David to become a contributor several days ago and this is his essay explaining why he supports Gov. Mitt Romney for President in 2012.

When I found out the truth about Mitt Romney… not only did I found out that his first name isn’t Mitt (its Willard BTW — but then again you already knew that right?), I found out that just about everything negative that I heard about him was flat out false. Not only that there was a lot of misinformation about Romney, I learned that there was an agenda or strategy if you will. As you learn more about politics you sadly learn that there isn’t a sincere interest for the welfare of America… only an interest in wealth and in power. Thankfully, there was another thing that I found out. I found out the about Mitt Romney.

The truth about MItt Romney is that he was hired to rescue the Olympics after the bribery scandal and was signed on as Governor of Massachusetts to save them from financial bankruptcy. He turned around the Olympics with a $379 million deficit and ended up clearing a $100 million dollar profit. He turned around the state of MA with a $3 Billion deficit and left the state with $700 million surplus.

He was also able to pass a Healthcare Reform Law which requires almost all MA residents to buy health insurance coverage inviting the private companies to compete amongst themselves for the costs of their premiums which presently is now covering more than 98% percent of their residents without increasing costs to it’s state. Not only this but when he worked for the private sector at Bain Capital he turned around plenty of ordinary companies into world known companies such as Staples and Dominoes Pizza. Now who in this world has done all that?

No wonder the Left felt so threatened by this impressive man. With that resume alone you got to wonder why in the world wouldn’t you want this man to be the president of this great nation. No other politician had ever received so many ill construed hit pieces from the media but the truth about Mitt Romney is that he has always been pro life at heart, of course he had to make a truce in Massachusetts about not changing the existing abortion laws as they were — how else might have he won as a Republican Governor in that state?

And when it came to making a decision between Pro Life and Pro Choice he always fell on the side of Life. Then the media went on to say that Romney was Pro Gay rights back in his failed bid in 1994… the truth is that back then Pro Gay rights meant equal opportunities in the work force and military.

The truth about Mitt Romney is that he would have won nomination if he had only been hit by the Democrats, but sadly he was tackled by the right also when McCain and Huckabee teamed up against him to bring a good man down — how else would have Romney lost. In spite of everything that was against him, Romney took full responsibility for his failed run for nomination and quickly put ill feelings behind him, endorsing all his delegates over to John McCain. Ever since Romney has been true to his word and has continued to support the conservative cause helping Republicans win their nominations everywhere. I have known few men with such integrity and I feel fortunate to know that he will most likely run again in 2012.

The truth is that we have the opportunity to elect Romney again in 2012, by building up the foundation or the grassroots in your home town. Every effort no matter how big or small is worth it in the end, because together we will most likely see this man elected again. As Mitt Romney has stated it himself, this isn’t about him… the truth is that it’s about having a Free and Strong America — a better place for you and for me.

Gov. Romney’s pick for the Republican nomination for Governor of the beleaguered state of California, Meg Whitman, has gotten off to a fast start, according to her fund raising team.

Gov. Romney continues to enjoy a high level of success with his candidate picks, with the vast majority of them going on to be successful in their races.

From a personal standpoint, I wish that Ms. Whitman was pro-life, but if I can’t get everything I want in a candidate for statewide office, I’ll settle for a great businesswoman, who likes to cut taxes and keep government smaller, simpler and smarter.

MEG WHITMAN ANNOUNCES FUNDRAISING RESULTS

CUPERTINO - Meg Whitman, Republican candidate for governor, announced today that her exploratory committee has raised more than $6.5 million since launching her campaign just five months ago. Whitman was the last Republican candidate to form an exploratory committee, yet she has quickly attracted contributions from every corner of California and far surpassed the other candidates’ fundraising totals during the first reporting period ending June 30, 2009.

“There is no more certain measure of enthusiasm for a candidate than heavy early campaign contributions. This unprecedented outpouring of support for Meg confirms the demand for a new style of leadership that creates jobs, cuts wasteful spending, and effectively manages state government,” said Campaign Chairman and former California Governor Pete Wilson. “Meg’s appeal reaches far beyond just traditional Republicans. She is attracting new donors and new voters to expand our party at a critical time. They are putting their money where their hearts and minds are.”

Of the more than $6.5 million total, 85 percent was raised from Californians. The campaign showed particular fundraising strength in Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego counties, and in the Central Valley and San Francisco Bay Area. Whitman’s strength in the Bay Area is particularly encouraging given that her Republican opponents are from there as well.

Since announcing the formation of her gubernatorial exploratory committee on February 9, Whitman has described her vision to thousands of Californians, amassed prominent endorsements, traveled the state to attend grassroots events, and is building the campaign infrastructure needed to win the primary and general elections.

Meg Whitman, 52, retired from eBay in March 2008 following a decade with the company. She helped eBay grow from 30 employees and $4.7 million in revenue to more than 15,000 employees, almost $8 billion in revenue, and a network of 12 million users in California alone. Before eBay, Whitman distinguished herself in leadership positions with Procter & Gamble, Bain & Company, Disney, Stride Rite Corporation, FTD, and Hasbro. On February 9, 2009, she announced the formation of her Exploratory Committee for Governor of California.

It looks like a former business associate of Mitt Romney will be the next Prime Minister of Israel. Benjamin Netanyahu, the leader of the Israeli equivalent of the Republican Party, Likud, will attempt to form a coalition government after winning a razor thin election this past Feb. 11.

Congratulations to PM elect Netanyahu, who is a hardliner on terrorism and who takes a very hawkish line against those want to see Israel “pushed into the sea.”

If you haven’t heard his views on why Israel is hated so passionately by the Arab dictatorships, listen to him speak on the subject on the YouTube I have embedded.

ORLY HALPERN

JERUSALEM — Likud Leader Benjamin Netanyahu looks likely to become Israel’s next prime minister after receiving the endorsement yesterday of Avigdor Lieberman, head of the far-right Yisrael Beiteinu.

But the type of government Mr. Netanyahu might lead – and whether it will be stable enough to rule – is still up in the air. The possibility exists that Israel will be back in election mode relatively soon.

Mr. Lieberman said he backed a government led by Likud, but also called for the government to include Kadima, the centrist party led by Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni. Ms. Livni reacted by announcing that her party will not join Mr. Netanyahu’s coalition.

“The natural partners of Bibi are not our natural partners,” she told reporters, using Mr. Netanyahu’s nickname. Ms. Livni has said that continuing political negotiations with the Palestinians is a key part of her party’s platform.
