Romney Is a Kind Giving Man, not a Villain

Obama has spent hundreds of millions to portray him as a mean spirited and heartless corporate villain. The reality is he is a very generous and giving person. Mona Charen writes:

Quote:
There is no shortage of such accounts [of generosity]-- and the convention is the place (the only place) where they can be told to a large audience. Romney surrogates can highlight the striking number of instances of kindness and generosity in Romney's life. The Daily offered these examples:

"One cold December day in the early 1980s, Mitt Romney loaded up his Gran Torino with firewood and brought it to the home of a single mother whose heat had been shut off just days before Christmas.

Years after a business partner died unexpectedly, Romney helped the man's surviving daughter go to medical school with loans for tuition -- loans he forgave when she graduated.

And in 1997, when a fellow church member's teenage son fell seriously ill, Romney sprinted to the hospital in the dead of night, where he kept vigil with his terrified parents.

Stories like these -- tales of long hours spent with grieving families, financial assistance to those in need and timely help given to strangers whether asked for or not -- abound in the adult life of the Republican presidential candidate."

As a skeptical Andy Ferguson wrote in The Weekly Standard, his coolness toward the candidate evaporated after reading "The Real Romney" by two Boston Globe reporters. "My slowly softening opinion," Ferguson wrote, "went instantly to goo when 'The Real Romney' unfolded an account of his endless kindnesses -- unbidden, unsung, and utterly gratuitous."

Here you have it. Perfectly demonstrated. The leftist mentality. Liberalism is the worst -ism because all it is fuled by are negative human characteristics liek jealousy, envy, intolerance and hatred. Her eyou see jealousy and envy.

Mitt cannot be a good, kind person because he has been successful in life and has millions of dollars according to Demented Mind and other liberals everywhere.

????? So it doesn't matter to you how much of that money he gives to charity, he's wrong for having money in the first place while other people in the world are still poor?

Yes. Because the foundation of Marxism is that if "I" don't have what "you" or "they" have "you" or "they" are wrong... even if "you" or "they" worked for and deserve that "you" or "they" have.
