Mitt Romney Acceptance Speech at the Republican National Convention (C-SPAN) - Full Speech

Mitt Romney accepts the Republican Presidential nomination at the 2012 Republican National Convention in Tampa Bay Times Forum. From C-SPAN's LIVE gavel-to-gavel coverage. www.c-span.org/...

Really wish Romney won instead of Obama. I think he couldve stopped all the BS that began under that 2nd term that's still affecting us today.

[@K3v1nMW]

What if Romney did win?

[@TayDays1128]

@@K3v1nMW I actually dont agree fully with what I said back then today lmao. Romney was actually a lot worse of a politician than I realized.

[@K3v1nMW]

@@TayDays1128 What’s even worse is that Romney definitely beat Obama in 2012(I can’t prove that, but it makes perfect sense). The general public has no idea what those voting machines are capable of! You can’t trust a single one of the election results! Even before HAVA 2002. Anyway, with that being said, if Romney was a good man, he would’ve challenged the results like President Trump did! Instead he conceded and went along with the script!

[@Black_Caucus]

What does this even mean?

[@TayDays1128]

@@Black_Caucus i blamed a lot of negative stuff that Obama had nothing to do with on Obama & thought maybe if he wasnt president then that stuff wouldnt have happened. In reality, Obama was a better president than I realized & was being screwed over by republicans heavily.

• Type "BAIN, FREEPORT IL." and you will see a company that Bain is closing THIS WEEK! They are shipping 170 jobs overseas to China! Romney will profit from the exchange to the tune of $400.000.00. As for the cheap labor taking those jobs in China, it is 90% women working over 12hr. days, living 3 to a room, making .90 cents an hr., and one day off a month. As for the Americans we get stuck with the debt from borrowed money, unemployment, and lost benefits! Romney/Bain profit, America loses!

[@KuaG12]

BOOOOOO!!! I remember when I ETS'd out of the military back in 2012 was very frustrated with what Obama was doing and saw this guy, and I thought "well, I don't want another Obama term, but this guy doesn't have a great plan he sucks!" I missed the voting deadline for registration but Romney wasn't selling me anyways. Then fast forward 3 1/2 years and along comes Trump, damn! I knew his name and heard of his show, knew nothing about him other than he was a rich guy from New York. My first thought when I heard he was running for president was "What the hell did he just wake up one day and decide to run for president or does he just have nothing better to do with all that money?" Then I hear his rally for the first time and realize that's exactly how I've been feeling! The debates were disgraceful but entertaining and he cracked me up. Didn't have the best responses but I see how he is with his supporters and how he truly loves our country then I do my research and learn he has been saying the same thing for 30+ years! I registered last year and voted for Donald Trump and Mike Pence. Now he is officially President of the United States of America!! Donald John Trump God Bless that man!

Romney says " I know how to create Jobs" But "Massachusetts ranked 47th out of 50 states over the entirety of Romney’s four years as governor" Now thats ROMNESIA

[@RollOnToVictory]

I feel like an internal struggle is going to come in the GOP. One side arguing that Romney was too centrist and argue loudly that a true conservative should have been nominated and take the party even farther right. Then the other side seeing the need to separate from religion and race which is killing them for minorities, urban areas and women.... and simply be the party of responsibility, morality, liberty and self-reliance.

[@Tiffyshea23]

Yeay! I'm so glad this scary man didn't win!!! He represents freedom only for people who believe one way, but not for people to believe any way they choose. Leave the judgement for God, people! It's not your place to force people to believe the way you do.

Romney's speech in a nutshell: "Let me tell you all about my life" Where's the part where he explains how lower taxes for the rich and increased defense spending will help us?

[@Shadownian]

Ruthless...did you fail reading comprehension in school? That statement you were responding to was against a person blindly following the republican party. Which is why i said we need to do away with the party system all together. If you actually read any of my posts here you would have seen I am against both Obama and Romney, Romney being the worse of the two. Now either apologize and admit your mistakes like an adult or just...don't talk cause you're not making yourself or your cause look good

[@Shadownian]

you have a point...but did you ever think that those who you think are the majority...are actually those few exceptions? You cant judge a whole group worldwide by the actions of the few that live in your particular area. I once had to attend a festival, and if you know anything about wicca you can imagine large ones are held here in mass. Did i see people like you mentioned...yes of course...were they the majority..no. Its just a metter of perception.

[@Shadownian]

Well thats high school,teens arent exactly known for having all the facts when they get involved in things. Just cause the movies depict wiccans as dark gothic people doesnt mean they are. I spent many years as the sole male within a coven here in Mass. I was taught by a woman who was an apprentice of sorts to SilverRavenWolf. A very well known wiccan author and high priestess. And i can tell you the people in my coven were some of the most humble, polite and none violent people ive ever known.

[@Shadownian]

Lmao..so the fact that you personally are human shows existence of GOD? So all those things that did become fish.. beetles or bacteria should be taken as proof there isnt a GOD? All you have said is a matter of perspective...your view of things, which in of itself is not proof. Also even if it was proof of the existence of GOD, whos to say what religions GOD it is. God is a belief system, just like a child believe in Santa and the Easter bunny. Doesnt make them real.

[@Shadownian]

Normally i would say that would be a good idea...but after debating people online for a bit now I have come to a conclusion...alot of people who would vote Romney...are blissfully ignorant of his faults and refuse to see anything bad about him...even when its staring them right in the face. I mean come on...you think bashing half the country would be enough. I can just imagine my grand kids generation looking back at this election going "wtf was wrong with these people" lol

[@Shadownian]

Lmao...I dont think im the best to answer that one...lol. But I do get frustrated with people who cant seem to see the most obvious of signs. But i just kind of look at it like..well...they will see in time. As far as keeping going. I try to live normally. Hope full that nothing will happen and thats its all just fear of the unknown, that all we have to worry about is government getting on track and giving our rights back. If thats the case I believe we will win out. Cont....

[@Shadownian]

My main problem with Romney...is not so much his lack of details on his "plan"...its not soo much his shared philosophy with Obama. Its the way he conducted himself throughout the election for the candidacy. Himself and the rnc both used every avenue available to them, and also made alot up as they went along, to quiet the resistance to his campaign. The worst of it happening at the RNC itself when they banned many delegates from the RNC and replaced them with ones that would vote his way.

[@Shadownian]

See this is what i like...an Intellectual discussion. As far as Romney, he's said hes wants peace, but he has also said he's for sanctions and even bombing of Iran, which could lead to another major war if not WW3. Hes also said he's not for removing troops, or sitting down for talks instead of taking military action. So he may say peace, but he doesnt show it. And regulations, ok what regulations. Just like the tax loopholes hes talked about he wont mention which ones he would look at. Cont...

[@Shadownian]

I do think Obama is the lesser of the two...especially seeing how he'll be gone in 4 years...but I still wont vote Obama. Ill be voting Gary Johnson. Who wants to balance the budget so we can actually afford to pay out all the money we promised those on benefits. Stop the wars. Get rid of the corrupt FED and IRS. End the failed drug war. Have a standard flat tax without loopholes or ways out for the rich. And yes the debates are scripted. And my info just comes from researching things on my own.

[@Shadownian]

Lmao..still got to love Mitt for his almost Bush-like quotes....like when he was talking about his wifes plane going down..."the windows dont roll down...I dont know why they do that, its a real problem" Lmao...ya thats the guy i want as president...the one who so out of touch with reality that he doesnt know why airplane windows dont roll down...lol...ahhhhh /sigh...mitt...got to love ya for that one.

[@Shadownian]

The United States of America have exhibited, perhaps, the first example of governments erected on the simple principles of nature; and if men are now sufficiently enlightened to disabuse themselves of artifice, imposture, hypocrisy, and superstition, they will consider this event as an era in their history. Although the detail of the formation of the American governments is at present little known or regarded either in Europe or in America, it may hereafter become an object of curiosity. Cont.

[@Shadownian]

also...as you say..."God is not a "belief"... He is either lie, or He isreal." which in of itself says that there is not proof or facts of God's existence. Which inherently makes it a belief. In schools people of all faiths are taught. Would you like it if Buddhists wanted their faith taught in schools...or maybe Muslim beliefs? No i would think not. So just keep faith out of it and stick to facts of what happened.

[@Shadownian]

The whole idea of this 2 party system is ridiculous at best. Look at congress...half the time if not more bills are never even read, they just vote according to party. If we got away from parties all together these politicians would have to make decisions on their own. People would vote based on facts and who would do a better job rather then reasons like " we got to get those dang *insert party* out of there!".

[@Shadownian]

Funny thing...Walmart is not selling emergency supplies and dehydrated food. I went about a week ago and right after you enter in the main walkway was a full display with a mountain of buckets. When i got closer they were 7 day emergency ration kits. That stay good for 25 years...lol. I was like...Ummm...does the walmart exec knows something we dont? Lol

[@Shadownian]

But that doesnt mean i dont worry for my son...my ex...my parents. I sometimes wonder what kind of world i brought my son into...what kind of future he will have. Etc. I just try to shelter him from that if at all possible and do my best to live our lives and make his future brighter. But at the same time. I am considering stocking up on supplies soon...lol

[@Shadownian]

I live in Mass...a democratic state. And im glad our schools omit God out of the history books. Especially as a father. I send my kid to school to learn facts, not beliefs. You want to be a bible thumper, fine with me...but dont try to push it on everyone by trying to brainwash kids. And its not that we here hate God or religion...we just like facts more.

[@Musickt196]

Yeah, that's what I meant. I personally think it's more like "disagree" than actual "hate," but yes, most of the world likes Obama. I was just talking about how Republicans aren't really getting smaller. And I don't think being a Democrat or Republican doesn't necessarily have to mean someone's radical about their beliefs. There are very extreme Dem/Reps out there, but someone can still be in the middle and lean left/right.

[@Musickt196]

You do realize that only about half of Americans like Obama, right? The opinion here in America on the spectrum is divided and very polarized. I'm not getting into an argument about politics-you are entitled to your opinion-but while the rest of the world is more liberal, the Republicans aren't getting any smaller. Don't listen to everything the media tells you, especially when it comes to politics.

[@Seaworldexists]

I dont know mitt can solve the issue of the debt as it does not seem consistent with any of his short term plans. It seems unlikely his tax plan would be defecit neutral and even so he would need major cuts in domestic spending to make a dent. But there will be at least one republican house in the next two years and because the dems won big in 08 probably the next 4 years. We know obama cant manage a divided govt (Hardly even an undivided one). Mitt is the only option even if just the least bad.

[@Seaworldexists]

Your confusing a budgetary surplus with the national debt. The national debt is cumulated over many administrations and years whereas a bugetary surplus means that one year the govt took in more money than it put out. Its like if you owe 10,000 in credit card debt and in 2012 spend 20,000 and make 25,000. You have a surplus that year but not enough to cover your debts. Clinton reduced the national debt but it was still over 5 trillion at the end of his term.

[@sweettarts1189]

that 47% r people that choose not to try to find work, who make excuses and lay up and have kids but expect the government to pick up their slack which tax payers have to cover for them. there is always work. u may not like the job or pay but u can always find something. i hope 47% isnt the real number because thats really high but it is what it is. my mom gets up every morning to make a honest living.

We want Obama because he is the president that will lead our nation to economic recovery. You believe the 5 trillion tax cut is the solution to all our problems? He is vague about how he plans to pay for this tax cut, and is talking about closing loopholes and deductions to pay for it. Economists say it is impossible to pay for this plan by just closing loopholes and deductions. And lets look at his plans for medicare. Under Romney the medicare program will become a voucher plan!

Am I the only one that sees the symptoms of dementia in Romney? Dementia is a loss of brain function that occurs with certain diseases. It affects memory, thinking, language, judgment, and behavior. Symptoms: Dementia symptoms include difficulty with many areas of mental function. Is this the real reason he changes his stories about what he stands for daily or can't remember? I made the same observation about Reagan, before it was announced. I am concerned for this old man.

[@TheRickyp83]

I didn't blame gas prices on Bush!! Are you paying attention??? Apparently not. My point by high gas prices under Bush is that conservatives are blaming Obama for gas prices yet were silent under Bush...MY POINT was that they were just as high under Obama as they were under Bush, they were also very low under Obama. The point is THE PRESIDENT, REP. OR DEM. doesn't have control on gas prices!..as the rest of what you said about the economy, I totally agree! I don't support Obama, I support facts.

[@TheRickyp83]

Congress votes on laws mostly written by corporations. They either pass or fail. Once they're passed to the president then he decides wheather to sign it into law, or veto it. Therefore NOT going into law even though congress passed it. However, congress can overrule a presidents veto. But no one person in gov. has more control than the president. Your comment is wrong. As for the gas prices, they're determined by supply, demand and speculation on Wall Street. Not the president or congress.

[@youz1uglybish]

my mistake on the governor statement replying too to many comments! look everybody has there own opinion of how and who the country should be run by.lol i seriously doubt mitt romney is going to make it obama dropped the ball in the 1st debate and all romney managed to do was narrow the gap slightly.unless obama completley chokes on his next couple debates its not happening.this will be a never ending argument im going to let someone else get it on this one!

[@54markl]

Mr. Obama was definitely remiss in not bringing up the 47%, which would have flustered Mr. Romney. He was too "nice," and he's catching hell for it. But this was a Stylistic "victory" only for Mr. Romney, he still has that awful Content, which will sink him at the end. He passionately and fervently presents Utter Tripe, and his math still doersn't add up. He just says "I won't do that," and that's his total explanation. Very few will change their votes on that flimsy basis.

[@Raider1311Studios]

"worship him"? I understand that it's just a figure of speech, but chill out. I only worship God. I don't think Mitt Romney is the "perfect" candidate. I just think he's a better option than continuing the same policies of Obama that are bankrupting America as we know it. And you're right, "argument" makes it sound like we're fighting. "Debate" is a better word. As for the dislike bar? It's KZbin, and I've observed that there are more liberals here than conservatives, so I don't care.

[@davejanes7379]

Mitt you are my choice for president. You will do more to stave off the disaster of the world losing MORE faith in the $.I applaud your family values including the unborn. However, on one issue you are out of step with family values. If you support Big Oil and coal as our ongoing energy choice you are not smart. Mitt you are not stupid.

No proof?? I beg to differ. God gave us everything we need to know His existence.

What's wrong with changing your mind about something? I don't think it's fair to say that it's because he wants more votes, it could be because he is a thinking individual just like the rest of us! After all, don't normal people change their minds on some things? As for your statement about the interview, yes, it IS sort of between him and congress, but if you listen to his speeches, he always says that he wants to lower taxes on everyone. Yes, he is telling us his plan! :)

Yes, you are making STATEMENTS, not asking QUESTIONS. If you want to ask questions, you have to phrase your sentences like questions and add a question mark at the end. Oh, and yeah, that may be true, but you forget that he had to compromise a lot because he had a Democratic majority in the General Court. As for his tax rate, he still pays more taxes than any of us. Forget the percentage, he pays A LOT of money in taxes! I'll post a link to explain more...

Well, his politics doesn't work, because both sides are not working together. Instead of pointing fingers and dig in private dirt, they should cooperate. Because that would help America. I prefer an America, that is not hated and misunderstood in the rest of the world and starts to change. We are living in a globalized world and have a huge economic crisis. And this guy wants an America for americans... Goodness

Muchos danke---thanks in two languages, so I am assured not to offend my Latin or German brothers. Well, three if you count English. "Diolch" ---there, I covered the Welsh voting block! Anyway..'preesh your comment! (I do think Romney is a corporate man who just is slimy...but pays for his ever changing chameleon make overs...hence, Gecko)

Another difference I see between the two speeches is the audience here looks bored to tears. They have nothing invested but money. Obama's audience was emotional, as if they'd struggled or they know people who have struggled. They have compassion and understanding of what is ACTUALLY GOING ON. I am so happy Obama won!

What a waste of 28 minutes to build a speech with criticism, and praises to the country and to the president but I guess that's part of the symptoms of Romnesia where it lacks from educating to the defaults issues for instance, economy crisis to budget plans for our country! We need a real Lead who is the President of United States of a America Barack Obama!

The Republicans don't want to work at all with this president they started from day one hoping he fell We the american people are not fools all their talk (rep) is to appeal Obama Care which if we all get old or is old is going to benefit from it one way or another I cried when my son turn 18 and had no insurance and now he have it until he is 26 while he goes to college
