What people need to know

I am a life long Republican. Before I could even vote, Barry Goldwater was my hero. People might disagree with him, but they always respected him for honestly standing up for what he believed. He once said "it is time to put conscience back in government. And by good example, put it back in all walks of American life." I could not agree more. I have discovered in life what is important is not what a man will say he will do, what is important is the nature of the man.

As I grew older I moderated my political views. I supported Mitt Romney in the early primaries because I thought he was a moderate Republican. However, once "Bain" entered the discussion, that began to change. Desiring to know the true story I started to do some research. I became convinced not only would Mitt's policies be bad for US; but as a man, he was not worthy of our trust. Mitt Romney is a dishonest lying hypocrite who is unworthy of being the candidate from my party.

I know these are strong words, but I felt so strongly about it I put up a Website to explain my reasoning. If you read my two pages “Character Counts” and “Character and Taxes” you will see why I am justified in saying this. I believe “An American Nightmare” would not be possible with any candidate, except Mitt Romney. This Site explains all the reasons I came to my decision. I believe it would be particularly helpful to people who are not wildly enthusiastic about either candidate. Please go to my Website at:

I think you may speak for a lot of disappointed Republicans.

I've just read a couple of sections, but I plan on looking at the entire site.

I hope this may be of help to fellow DUers who have friends and relatives who may be feeling the same. If they are concerned about not voting Republican, this might show them that America trumps party in a reasonable and rational way.

A recommendation to DUers to give this a look.

Thank you for posting this here, and welcome to DU!
