Why I support Mitt Romney
I am going to be graduating from Purdue University in less than a year. I am ready to go off into the wild unknown that is the real world. I worked very hard to get George W. Bush into office. I witnessed the Newt Gingrich Revolution, the George H.W. Bush Presidency, and a bit of the Reagan Presidency. I have seen quite a volatile few decades. Many of my friends have graduated already. Many of them still want to live in Ohio, but there are NO JOBS. While the economy is doing well, Ohio is in a two state recession with Michigan. This has driven the economy front and center this election cycle. There is one man that can turn around the state of Ohio and the rest of this country, and that man is Mitt Romney
I witnessed both Bushes shrink away from their conservative principles at the hands of people they owe favors to. I saw both Bushes shy away from their conservative principles at any sign of trouble. Looking back into history, lifelong politicians have a hard time getting things done Washington. They lack that certain ability to look outside the box. Mitt Romney has that ability.
Mitt Romney spent 25 years in the private sector before becoming governor of Massachusetts. He was in an industry known as venture capitalism. The role of a venture capitalist is to invest in troubled companies, take executive control, and turn the companies around. This included domestic and global businesses. He would essentially take executive leadership of the company, trim out wasteful spending, and remove and corruption in the system. One of his finest success stories is that of the well known office company Staples. His finest moment came shortly after September 11th. The Olympic Games were in peril. There was corruption among top executives and catastrophic budget shortfalls. The committee in charge of the games decided to bring in Mitt Romney to turn around the games. He did exactly that. He pulled off the games without any problems what-so-ever. This shows that he can turn around a corrupt over budget organization. This is a miniature version of our federal government. He could purge corruption and streamline our government so that our economy is improved.
Mitt Romney showed that he can apply his strong sense of economics to the business world when he was elected governor of Massachusetts. He turned a 1.3 billion dollar deficit into a 500 million dollar surplus while cutting taxes. This was all done while lowering taxes and cutting spending.
Mitt Romney has a lot of knowledge on the global economy from his time as a venture capitalist. He understands the threat of China to our economy. He is the only one who consistently mentions it on the trail and during debates. He understands that we have to take measures to compete in global market. Mitt Romney knows what types of regulations and taxes need to be addressed for job creation.
Mitt Romney’s economic expertise will be very important against the democrats. As I come closer to entering the working world, there is one thing on my mind, the economy. JOBS JOBS JOBS! It’s the economy stupid! Lets face it, the economy will be the leading issue next November. Mitt Romney is someone who can take the Democrats to town the economy. More importantly, he is someone who can get our economy back on the right chance if only given the opportunity. Mitt Romney is someone who can come into Washington and strengthen the US economy to points it has never seen before.

You need to drop what you're doing and head over to speak with your economics and poli sci professors...they'll have a few things to enlighten you about.
