Romney Slams Obama On Castro Visit

Guest Author — Tue, 22 May 2012 23:04:55 +0000

Mitt Romney chastised President Obama's administration for allowing the daughter of Cuban head of state Raul Castro into the United States. "I am greatly disturbed by the Obama administration’s decision to allow Mariel Castro, daughter of Raul Castro, to travel to the United States. We shouldn’t be extending an open hand to a regime engaged in the systematic and flagrant denial of basic human rights," Romney said in a statement.

Seize The Energy Opportunity

Guest Author — Tue, 22 May 2012 15:07:27 +0000

The discovery and production of massive deposits of gas and oil on American private land, even without a coherent White House energy strategy to develop domestic resources, has created two distinct opportunities for America. First, we have reversed the steady decline in one of America's bedrock industries -- energy.

Former Venture Capitalist Sen. Warner Defends Bain

Guest Author — Tue, 22 May 2012 14:34:10 +0000

This morning on MSNBC, former venture capitalist Sen. Mark Warner R-Va. admitted that Bain Capital was "very successful" and "did what they were supposed to do." When asked about whether attacks on private equity were fair, Warner said that he was "proud" of his previous career in the private sector but noted that public service required a "different skill set."

Another View: Keystone Decision Is Yet Another Obama Miss

Guest Author — Tue, 22 May 2012 13:56:25 +0000

Thousands of jobs are at stake in the Keystone XL pipeline. So, too, at stake is America’s energy future. That’s why I remain shocked by President Obama’s decision not to move forward with this vital project. It is a decision that, even by Washington standards, makes little sense.

The Romney campaign is so delighted with Corey Booker's criticism of the President's Anti-Bain capital ad, they are finishing out the afternoon with a new ad. "Have you had enough of President OBama's attacks on Free Enterprise?" reads the ad. "His own key supporters have."

Reinforcing Alliance's Military Might Is Vital

Mitt Romney — Mon, 21 May 2012 12:41:55 +0000

NATO has kept the peace in Europe for more than six decades. But today, the alliance is at a crossroads. It is time to speak candidly about the challenges facing the United States and our allies and how to rise to them. In a post-Cold War world, territorial defense of Europe is no longer NATO's one overriding mission.

Romney Says Obama Policies Undermine NATO Alliance

Guest Author — Mon, 21 May 2012 12:08:29 +0000

In Chicago Tribune op-ed on Sunday, Mitt Romney accused President Obama of undermining NATO. “At the same time that President Obama has been weakening our military, he has sent the message — intentionally or not — that the worth of NATO has diminished in America’s eyes,” Mr. Romney wrote. The op-ed was published as Mr. Obama and other world leaders are gathering in Chicago Sunday and Monday for a NATO summit meeting.

Mitt Romney Slams N.H. 'Bridge To Nowhere'

Guest Author — Fri, 18 May 2012 20:03:53 +0000

The 2012 presidential campaign has its own “bridge to nowhere.” Mitt Romney used a 19th-century stone bridge here today to anchor his attacks against President Barack Obama, calling the 2009 economic stimulus the “largest one-time careless expenditure of government money in America’s history.”“This is the absolute bridge to nowhere if there ever was one,” Romney told supporters as he motioned to the stone bridge behind him.

“Vampire Capitalism? Please”

Guest Author — Fri, 18 May 2012 17:25:09 +0000

This week the Obama campaign debuted its attack on Bain Capital, the private-equity firm Mitt Romney founded. Its two-minute ad purports to tell the story of GS Technologies, a Kansas City-based Bain investment that went bankrupt in 2001. To hear the Obama campaign, this is a tale of greed: GST was a healthy, happy, quality steelmaker until Bain plundered its worth and stripped its 750 workers of their due.

New Romney Ad: 'Day One'

Guest Author — Fri, 18 May 2012 12:55:20 +0000

What would a President Romney do on Day One? That’s the question of this new positive ad from the Romney campaign, which says that Romney’s first priorities would be approving the Keystone pipeline, cutting taxes and overhauling the tax code, and “replacing Obamacare with commonsense health care reform.”

Guest Author — Fri, 18 May 2012 12:49:17 +0000

Mitt Romney's campaign released a new web video Thursday critical of Vice President Biden's assertion that most non-union autoworkers "did fine" in the aftermath of the auto bailout.

Romney’s ‘Prairie Fire’ Case For Dumping Obama

Guest Author — Wed, 16 May 2012 14:36:06 +0000

In Iowa on Tuesday, Mitt Romney delivered an impressive speech on his theme of the week: the debt. Rather than making this only about dollars and cents, he turned the issue into one about values and President Obama’s deficient leadership. Romney first laid out his case, explaining (in one of his more poetic phrases of the campaign) that a “prairie fire of debt is sweeping across Iowa and our nation and every day we fail to act that fire gets closer to the homes and children we love.” He continued:

In the latest battle of dueling campaign ads, Mitt Romney's camp has released a nearly four-minute video focusing on the personal plight of some of the nation's unemployed as the presumptive Republican nominee aims to turn the focus back toward President Barack Obama's handling of the economy.

Women Can Rely On Romney

Guest Author — Tue, 15 May 2012 14:19:17 +0000

When it comes to dividing Americans on the basis of their gender, I know a little something about the subject. I grew up in a time when many people believed that men and women should not always be treated equally. It wasn't easy to break through the barriers of discrimination, and I'm glad I didn't have to do it alone. When I became the first woman to represent the state of Texas in the United States Senate, it was with the help of a lot of women - and a large number of men, too.

Romney Campaign Fires Back Over Layoff Charges

Guest Author — Mon, 14 May 2012 20:11:31 +0000

Mitt Romney's presidential campaign is firing back at an Obama campaign ad blitz with a web ad of their own: touting Romney's role in financing a small Fort Wayne, Ind. company called Steel Dynamics. The Obama campaign launched a tough, five-state ad blitz Monday telling the story of a shuttered Kansas City steel mill purchased by Romney's private equity company Bain Capital in 1993 — and the ensuing layoffs and pension fights a few years later.

Romney Hits Obama On Government Spending

Guest Author — Mon, 14 May 2012 13:17:41 +0000

Mitt Romney's campaign this week wants to shine a spotlight on President Barack Obama's failure--in their eyes--to reduce government spending. Romney will make this point in Iowa on Tuesday. Meanwhile, the Obama for America campaign goes up with an ad attacking Romney's resume--attacking his role while at Bain, the private equity firm. You may recall--that's a line of attack former GOP rival Newt Gingrich made in the primary.

Mitt Romney Has The Experience To Put The Country Back On Track

Guest Author — Mon, 14 May 2012 12:21:12 +0000

America has suffered 39 straight months of the unemployment rate being more than 8 percent and four straight years of budget deficits of more than $1 trillion. We need a change. We need Mitt Romney. Over the past four years we have experienced failed stimulus policies, overly burdensome federal regulations and a looming $16 trillion national debt that is the greatest threat to our economic security.
