The attacks by his fellow contenders - Newt Gingrich, Jon Huntsman, Rick Santorum, and Rick Perry - on Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney for his successes at Bain Capital are disingenuous. The rivals are acting like Democrats. Romney's time at Bain epitomizes the type of success Republicans normally worship: financial self-improvement at the expense of the working man.
Leave Romney alone for simply doing what Republicans always do.

He looks so wholesome and All-American but that's as far as it goes we are finding out.
He dodged the draft during the Vietnam War years by using special "deferrments" only allocated to Mormon (if 5 Mormon young men were being called up for the Draft = only 1 would have to go....the others were allowed to go on their Church's "missions") and not Gentiles (non-Mormons). So while some "gentile" was drafted in Mitt's place, he went on a 3 year "mission" to Paris, France. How can Mitt Romney in good conscience ask voters to elect him as the Commander-in-Chief of the United States Armed Forces when he refused to serve in one of these very same Military Services when his Nation called on him ???
The second thing that Americans , not just Republicans but from what is all over the News....all Americans are wondering how Mitt Romney who wants to be the President of these United States can send millions upon millions of his $400 Million Dollar fortune to the Cayman Islands known for shielding IRA cheats ???
Also the Tax-dodge "Shell Game" with millions and millions of tithing dollars going to his Church while perfectly legal....still rubs everyday American hard-working tax payers the wrong way...................."special tax breaks for special people" is what I have been hearing from people who don't have the benefit of tax and financial consultants.
It seems to many of us...if you want to run for the Presidency of these United States that you should be a...."special person"...squeekie-clean in both finances, education and personal background. "Cutting and running" away from the Draft whether to Canada, through special Religious exemptions or for college/university deferrments just doesn't appeal to many voters who want a President that they can......be "proud" of...not be making excuses for.

Right. Everyone should dip into companies, take the best parts, scrap the rest. destroy jobs, and pretend the capital they borrowed was their own and should qualify as "investment income" so it can be taxed at half the usual rate.
