Mitt Romney is a hollow calculating man who will lie and change positions like he changes his venue. He will do anything ruthlessly and necessary in his attempt to win the presidency. Mitt Romney wants to become president solely because there's a possibility he can win. Which raises the question why does he even want to be president? What is his vision for the country, what is his core. Does he even have one.
Where do you fit into his picture for success. Mitt Romney has no longstanding convictions he will say whatever it takes all for the purpose of getting elected. But what is clear is that he is crafted and controlled, scripted and careful about his intentions to PROTECT ONLY THE INTERESTS OF THE WEALTHY ELITE.
1994 interview: When Mitt Romney ran for the U.S. Senate
Mrs. Romney gave a lengthy interview to the Boston Globe, which published a 4,000-word article that portrayed her as wealthy and spoiled. Boston's rival newspaper, the Herald, quoted excerpts in a column titled, 'Daughter of Privilege Knows Little of Real World.'
"Ann Romney's sweetheart deal: She decided her love of 30 years should be senator" by Jack Thomas
Highlights
■"I wasn't interested in academics till college. I was more interested in riding my horses, and I was extremely athletic. I played field hockey, lacrosse, basketball. I swam, skied, played tennis and even now, I exercise three times a week, aerobics, muscle toning, and I play tennis at Belmont Hill Club."
■Ann Romney was critical of her weight: "Don't ask about it. I won't answer. I'll tell my age, but not my weight. A woman's weight is always more than she wants it to be. I'll tell you what my ideal is. I'm 5 feet 8. In college, I weighed 117. That's what I should be. But I'm never near that. I'm always shocked at how much I weigh. I'm thin, but not 117 pounds, so I'm not as thin as I should be."
■When the couple was living in a basement apartment ($62/month) at Brigham Young, "We were happy, studying hard. Neither one of us had a job, because Mitt had enough of an investment from stock that we could sell off a little at a time. The stock came from Mitt's father. When he took over American Motors, the stock was worth nothing. But he invested Mitt's birthday money year to year -- it wasn't much, a few thousand, but he put it into American Motors because he believed in himself. Five years later, stock that had been $6 a share was $96 and Mitt cashed it so we could live and pay for education."
■When Mitt was at Harvard (remember, he did go there for a joint MBA/JD), Ann said, "Another son came along 18 months later, although we waited four years to have the third, because Mitt was still in school and we had no income except the stock we were chipping away at. We were living on the edge, not entertaining. No, I did not work. Mitt thought it was important for me to stay home with the children, and I was delighted."
■Their last argument was when she was 17: "We did have one argument, but it was before marriage, when I thought he was being too possessive, when I wasn't really understanding that he was just so in love with me and so committed. I was 17, and we had a real argument. But that was the last one. Isn't that strange? It's like people might think there's something wrong with our relationship."
Columnist Margery Egan wrote: "Today I realized that Ann Romney has not a clue about my life, nor the lives of anybody I know. 'Living on the edge,' she said. Selling off their stock holdings. She has not an inkling. Not even a hint."
