like and when


Like a cry baby, perhaps a spoiled child, maybe a bully cornered and cowering Mitt Romney responds to questions about his never to be released tax returns ‘NA-NA-Boo-Boo, you don’t own me, you’re not the boss of me. This is MY business America, and all we need to do is talk about the business of America. Do as I say, never as I did!
Like a self centered debutante, an upstairs land owner speaking to his downstairs help, a prince among paupers Mitt Romney states firmly with the backbone of a one celled creature I don’t have to do anymore then I already have, so there, sticks and stones may break my bones (I have great health care so who cares). Don’t get into my business, what, you think I am running for president of the United States?
Like anything but a person running for president, Mr Romney insists that if in fact he did provide the public with access to his previous tax returns, there might be too many unquestionable questions asked and too many misleading ideas or suggestions as to how he has lived his Capitalistic life. He wah-wahs that the Dems will make more noise then the silence he wishes would whoosh over the land regarding his finances. He says he doesn’t have to provide anyone with anymore. That was then, this is now and then never counted in the first place. And besides the longer this mystery lingers the less interest there will be to find the truth.
Like anything but a person running for president Mr. Romney prefers to live his life in secrecy denying any of his past that can not be rewritten in a Stalinesque manner. He wants to tell us he is a man of the people, but ask him about the people he has impacted via his Bain days it IS NO ONE’S BUSINESS. He feels that lack of transparency fits the persona of a wanna be president. He is brave at pointing fingers at others but acts like a superman facing Krypton when any finger is pointed at him. 
And yet, the polls still point out that in some cases Mr. Romney leads the preference choice of Independent voters. And yet, some Americans think that if Romney made as much money for himself as president he certainly will bring that pot of gold to a local neighborhood. And yet, issues of civil rights, freedoms for all minorities, fair and equal for all Americans is only secondary to making money so a vote for Romney is a vote for my bank account. And yet deceit, delay, denial are okay and seem to bounce off the two faced, flip flopped, pandering man known as Mitt Romney.
When do we learn? We voted for George W. Bush because he was someone we felt we would rather have a beer with. We elected the Tea Party to power because all they wanted was less government. We watched as bigots, racist homophobes, hypocrites ran rampant wanting to be the Republican candidate for president. We believed that if  Sarah Palin could see Russia from her front porch she had the vision to lead this nation.
When will the undecided actually take the time and look at the values, the ethics, the manner at which Mitt Romney treats those he wishes to lead as president? When will the smart finally lead the conversation and showcase the sham and shame produced by the gluttonous and greedy. When will America finally learn from its history and NOT repeat the calamity and chaos so easily avoided.
