Few conservative columnists have been more brutal critics of Mitt Romney for the past five years than Deroy Murdock. Today, however, Murdock highlights some wonderful stories about the decency of the GOP nominee. He writes this:
“Americans might like Romney even more if they understood his random acts of kindness and significant feats of bravery. As Mara Gay, Dan Hirschhorn, and M. L. Nestel wrote for TheDaily.com: “A man weighed down by the image of a heartless corporate raider who can’t relate to people actually has a history of doing remarkably kind things for those in need.”
Then he gives several great examples. It’s a great read.

That's what worries me. Mitt is too nice. He can't afford to be nice to the likes of Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi when/if he gets into the Oval Office.

My Dad is "nice." He has a heart of gold and will walk miles to help folk in need. He also loved me enough and was "nice" enough to tear me a new one when called for. Don't underestimate Governor Romney.

Any moment now, Deroy is subject to having his blackness revoked.

These type instances are noble indeed but the main feature of Romney that everyone should GET is his professional business experience [which will become of the utmost value to the American people in attempting to solve the multi-facited economic/financial problems facing thsi country presently if he becomes our next president]. He will need the services of a large Republican majority in the US Senate in order to accompolish his needed policies, and without same, might just become a Republican version of Barack Obama. If we do not elect him and if he thereafter does not have the congressional numbers to legislate the needed changes, this country is doomed to destruction!!!!!!

He is nice. And maybe after he loses, he can use his considerable wealth to help others. The Romney Global Iniative?

You have done yourself a complete makeover and turned yourself into the more familiar troll. Thanks for the honest look. Say hi to the pretend wife and kids.

Couldn't find a Romney sign if I looked all day. Too many college grads in my neighborhood.

he's BEEN using 'his considerable wealth to help others', and there's no doubt that when he steps down after the 2020 election, he'll continue to do that; too bad about the other fellow, who will no longer be able to use the wealth of others to enrich his cronies and bundlers...maybe he can organize the 'Small Ball Binders, Bayonets, and Big Bird Community Collective'...

Mitt was nice on Monday in the foreign policy debate because he knows that will very likely win. See "Final Debate - Three Little Words" and "Napo-Bama" only here...http://americanconservativeinlondon.blogspot.co.uk/

The key to Romney's surge over the last month is simple. He overcame the single thing that Democrats need to thrive: their lies.
Leftists fear nothing more than the public learning the truth. It's that simple.
Once the debates came, Romney was able to define himself on the national stage. He didn't have to be amazing. He didn't have to be special. Simply by being "decent", he showed millions of people who never heard a thing about him other than what left-wing media said that he was not the monster the Left made him out to be.
He didn't overcome every lie. He didn't throw off every distortion. But his presence on that stage was enough to dispel a lot of misconceptions that Democrats have very aggressively pushed for a long time. That alone was enough to cause a massive shift in the polls.
The public's perceptions are still very far from the truth in many areas. More truth will bring them further to our side.

try to find a smilar story about ObaMao; you CAN'T...like most ProgLibs, he fully expects the State to do these things with 'other people's money'
the #1 reason for Mitt's surge in the polls is, as Murdock explains, is that, beginning in Denver, the American people finally got to see the ACTUAL Mitt Romney, not the strawman/monster that ObaMao and the MSM created as a distraction from ObaMao's utter failure as President...and they also got to see the ACTUAL ObaMao; petty, peevish, juvenile, bereft of actual ideas, and pitifully small

...like most ProgLibs, he fully expects the State to do these things with 'other people's money' - Not surprising, that is the definition of a ' paid community organizer'.
