Romney’s Victory Website: And The Ugly Truth About Politics

It appears that Mitt Romney and his GOP “posse” had a Vision that the Election was going to yield a landslide victory! Although they could not have been more wrong, their arrogance was palpable. I am sure by now you’ve heard reports about Mitt Romney admitting that he only wrote a Victory speech. That is more than positive thinking, that is sheer arrogance (and not the most attractive trait in a candidate). Fox news, and other conservative media outlets had pre-election panels, and Election-day panel discussions, that harshly laid out reasons why Democrats, and Obama, will be shown the door. During the early afternoon on November 6th, the conservative news anchors and pundits entertained themselves by predicting what the Romney Cabinet would resemble. Who are the likely candidates for the Romney Administration, and who would be passed over for one reason or another. It was not unlike pre-Super Bowl chatter, only this game will impact the entire country, and the world. As the day progressed, the conservative political analysts were confident and excited.

There seem to be such utter certainty, that I was startled by it. It was like being in an alternate world, chiefly because I couldn't see how one-plus-one could equal four. It appeared that Fox News, and conservative Talk Radio, converted simple math (adding likely Romney votes) into an algebraic equation....and it all made sense to THEM. Looking at the issues influencing voters, which bore out to be true, I took note of the following issues:

 Women in America want the right to choose what goes on with their bodies, and don’t appreciate being referred to as “Binders of women”
 Latinos are concerned about immigration laws that impact their children and families.
 FEMA should be left alone; States and local governments, and citizens need financial help after Natural Disasters .
 A sizable portion of the “47%”, Romney wrote off, were retired, or veterans who have paid a lifetime of taxes, or risks their lives fighting for this Country. They’ve earned the right to Social Security, and other government programs
 Auto Makers, their 181,000 auto workers and their families were happy that Obama didn’t take Romney’s advice to “let them go bankrupt”
 Gays are passionate about having heir marriage legally recognized, giving them the same rights as heterosexual married couples.
 Youth votes are more likely to vote for Democrat, given the “Occupy Wall Street” movement, which blames the wealthiest 1 %, and the Bush Administration for the economic and fiscal crisis

The above political and social issues can be translated to a simple addition problem. Accordingly, the 7 bullet points could be treated as an aggregate of votes away from the republican candidate, Mitt Romney. Although the slow economy and high unemployment were working against Obama, as long as the turnout were as strong, or better than 2008, he had a good chance of winning re-election.

So why then, were the Republicans and Carl Rove so vehemently certain that Romney would be elected the 45th President of the United States? To the extent that he had his Victory Website rolled out early Thursday morning?

Perhaps this tidbit of information will provide a clue: Shortly after Obama’s stunning victory, I read a disturbing article that attempted to explain a complicated web of investment companies and venture capital that involved Mitt Romney’s son, Tagg Romney. In a nutshell, Tagg Romney owns the company that invested in the company that bought a controlling interest in a Voting Machine Vendor. What? I was so shocked, that it took the wind out of me. What this amounts to is so incredibly unethical, I can’t help but to think of Watergate. So, that explains the why the Romney camp felt so sure they would be moving into the White House. This is unfathomable and beyond a mere “conflict of interest” issue. This also explains why several concerned voters released video tapes the rigged voting machines they encountered, and posted it on YouTube. One male Caucasian Voter illustrated that when he chose Obama for President, a check would appear next to Mitt Romney’s name. He tried it multiple times, and eventually left that booth. He did not indicate who he ultimately voted for, but stated that he just wanted to report a “strange” occurrence.

Provided below is just one of the "Rigged Voting Booth" videos.

The combination of the Tagg Romney’s secret ownership of a voting machine company, and the YouTube videos of rigged voting machines is too much of a coincidence. I also believe that if this Article was misstating the facts, there would have been a lot of noise and defamation claims coming from the GOP or the Romney camp. Instead there is silence - as if the planned strategy was not to respond, so that the issue would quickly go away. I am almost certain that the Obama Administration is too busy to pursue the matter, especially since the stolen votes did not help them achieve their goal. The outcome of the this election, begs the questions: If Nixon hadn't won the election, would the Watergate break-in become the scandal that rocked Capital Hill - to destroy Nixon's political career? Given the lack of attention drawn to the Rigged Voting Machines connected to Tagg's Venure Capital Company, I can't help but wonder if Watergate would have become one of the biggest scandals in America's political history, if Nixon did not get Elected? Whatever the case, politics is left with a black eye, as democracy stumles on.

To Be or Not To Be: EU Shows signs of cracking

Twenty years ago, when the idea was circulating about a unified currency in Europe, it seemed like such a brilliant concept, based upon sound economic and political arguments. Today, it almost seems like an impossible dream. Landon Thomas of the New York Times asks in his article "Can they muster the will and resources to keep the euro zone from breaking apart?

As the world looks on, and markets take defensive positions, the Euro crisis unfolds like the climax of a mystery novel. Greece's dramatic elections - where the people ousted Sarkozy, opting for an unlikely candidate, François Holland. The outcome of the election was a clear sign that the people were not ready for the strict austerity measures needed to turn their economy around. Bailout alone was not going to save Greece, it was only expected to buy them time to pull their policies, and fiscal plan together. The political and civil unrest in Greece, gave little hope for a turnaround. Instead the notion of Greece leaving the European Union resurfaced with somber overtones of reality.

By the end of May, Spain had decided to pump 19 billion Euros into its struggling Lender, Bankia, SA, as a strategy to illustrate stability, and quell any notion that the crisis continues for its financial sector, in light of Greece's downward slide. This is a prop-up strategy that is effective in influencing perception, which is crucial in the realm of investors and financial markets. The US equivalent of $24 billion, was a rich injection that is twice the amount Spain spent in the recent past to straighten out the banking sector during US housing market collapse - causing a global rippling affect. Spain is swiftly reacting to mitigate a repeat of the fiscal mayhem stemming from billions of dollars lost in toxic mortgage-backed securities.

Meanwhile, two weeks ago, S&P downgraded Bankia, and several other Spanish Banks, causing worldwide concern. The rating agency made matters worse by painting a gloomy near-term forecast for the region, citing their belief that Spain is heading toward a double dip recession. S&P also noted that there was a reasonable expectation of an increase in troubled assets. On the heels of Frances downgrade, and Spain’s fiscal concerns, the question becomes, was this unified currency such a sound economic and political move in the first place. Friday, the DOW closed 300 points lower, illustrating investor sensitivity to the Euro Crisis - although, it should be noted that market anxiety was further stimulated by the soft jobs report.

The Economy and Politics

If the positive momentum of the US economy continues throughout the year, and that’s a big IF, the presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney could have a tough time in November.

Let’s look at the current stats: the unemployment rate dropped to a near three-year low of 8.5 percent, with payrolls increasing by 200,000 in December - the biggest rise in three months. The economy added 1.6 million jobs last year, the most since 2006, and the jobless rate, which peaked at 10 percent in October 2009, has dropped 0.6 percentage point in the last four months. Commercial investment is up by 10% and inflation is relatively low.

Could Barack Obama be happier? I don’t think so. He welcomed the news and urged Congress to extend a two-month payroll tax cut through 2012 to help sustain the recovery. "We're moving in the right direction. When Congress returns they should extend the middle-class tax cut for all of this year, to make sure we keep this recovery going," he said.

Still, all is far from perfect: Employment remains about 6.1 million below its pre-recession level and at December's pace of job growth, it would take about 2-1/2 years to win those jobs back. There are roughly 4.3 unemployed people for every job opening.Although construction and Courier jobs increased due to the mild weather and the holidays respectively, those jobs could be lost in January and the unemployment rate might rise as Americans who had abandoned the hunt for work are lured back into the labor market. Still, 23.7 million Americans are either out of work or underemployed.

The jobs data could be overshadowed by Europe's debt crisis. With the labor market far from healthy, the debt crisis in Europe unresolved and tensions over Iran threatening to drive up oil prices, re-election for the current administration is by no means guaranteed.

I couldn't agree with you more. Although it looks good for the current administration, there are so many variables (mentioned in your article) that could reshape the country's direction and self perception. This will impact voter concerns, and who they believe will make it all better. Welcome back Charlie!
