Romney, Trump a perfect pair

Well, folks, your Republican nominee, Mitt Romney, has been anointed by the egotistical blowhard “The Donald” Trump. If this is an example of who thinks Mitt should be president (after all, Donald’s favorite hymn is “How Great Thou Art”), we should definitely take a second look at President Barack Obama.

Mitt fits in well with this group of people, the upper class, who don’t have a clue how the rest of us Americans live. The middle class, the poor, the disabled, the disadvantaged and seniors will take a hit so his friends can continue to live the life they’re accustomed to. They vowed to destroy this president ever since he took office, no matter who gets hurt. Rep. Paul Ryan has proposed $700 billion in cuts to social programs by eliminating senior Meals-on-Wheels, 300,000 children’s free meals, cuts to women’s health, Social Security and Medicare cuts, and to use that money to give tax cuts to “The Donald and Friends” and Mitt, who has endorsed this budget.

Think before you decide!
