A Good Guy

Mitt Romney is a good guy. Intelligent, possessing an excellent sense of humor, Mitt is also honorable. Noble, even. And here’s why we know this.

From the article 7 Incredible Personal Stories about Mitt Romney That You May Not Know

As it was pointed out by a few at the RNC and became evident after Glenn’s staff began telling him the stories they were finding, Romney isn’t the kind of guy that likes to talk about the things he has done to help others. On Friday, Glenn is going to spend a full hour sharing the incredible stories his staff found. He will also be joined by some of the people whose lives were changed (for the better) by Mitt Romney, most of whom had never even met him.

This morning on radio Glenn gave a preview of what you can expect to see on Friday’s program. He shared a story of a V.A. hospital in Boston that Mitt Romney stopped at while on the campaign trail running against Ted Kennedy. Ted Kennedy had made a thirty minute top at the same location a couple of weeks prior.

After touring the V.A. hospital, Mitt asked to look at their books. After he spent forty minutes going through their books, he told them, “You run a very good place, very tight. Very good.” Romney asked to go on another tour of the hospital, and after spending an hour and forty minutes there, the last question he asked was, “So what… what do you ?? what are you lacking? What do you need help with?”

The response? “Milk.”

Since the press was around, snapping photos and asking questions, Glenn explained that Romney did a really awkward joke where he said, “maybe we should teach everyone here how to milk a cow.”

Of course, that’s all the press cared to hear and ran with a story that claims “Mitt Romney says veterans should have to milks cows.”

“This is where it gets good,” Glenn started. “Romney calls him up the next morning.”

Romney first apologizes to the man who runs the hospital for any problems the attention from the press jumping on his words brought to the hospital. He next offers to help with the milks situation.

“Friday comes, and the milkman comes,” Glenn continues. “This is what the vets needed – they needed 7,000 pints of milk a week. Milkman shows up, 7,000 pints. The head of the V.A. hospital asks, “Where did all this come from?” He [the milkman] said “an anonymous donor.” Now, the guy didn’t put it together.”

Glenn explains that when the next week rolled around, the milkman shows up again, and continued to show up every week for two years. After two years of delivering 7,000 pints of milk a week to the hospital, as the milkman is retiring, the man finally gets him to reveal the anonymous donor.

It’s Mitt Romney.

“Mitt Romney was writing a personal check and didn’t want anybody to know for two years and provided the vets with all of their milk in Boston,” Glenn explained to listeners this morning.

When Romney became governor, he sent a bill through to help the V.A. hospital – it was down to the dollar. This man told Glenn, “if you want a mechanic on the economy? It’s this guy. He [Mitt Romney] went and he looked at the books first. He wanted to see what we were doing and how effective we were. He said then, beyond that, the milk. He did that and he didn’t want anything ?? he didn’t want anyone to know.”

All seven stories show who Mitt Romney really is: a good guy with a good heart who loves America and her people. We can’t do any better than that!

And won’t it be nice to have a good guy back in the White House?

    Shared with my daughter – she’s voting for Romney (or maybe the libertarian) but she lives in Maryland so either way her vote will be overwhelmed by lefties. But she’s also still mad at Romney over the dog on the roof of the car thing and I don’t think she’s heard any of these stories. I have of course, but she’s surrounded by liberal students in grad school.

    Doesn’t surprise me. Mitt really is a good guy, but the lefties and the Obamites don’t want you to see that. The good news is that they’ve become so crass in their attacks against him all they’re succeeding in doing is riddling their feet with bullet holes. Romney isn’t so much beating Obama as Obama is starting to beat himself.

    Pray very, very hard that America wakes up to a new President-elect come next Wednesday morning. We need this guy.

      I’m praying, Dave! Sometimes it feels like I’m holding my breath, too… or maybe that’s just anxiety… but the sooner this election is over the better!!

    Most Mormons are really good folks. They can be clannish. and, of course, there is Dingy Harry Reid.

    Still, Patti should ask her daughter if she has ever seen a dog in the back of a pickup truck or with a head stuck out the window of a car.

      It’s not as if the dog had been strapped, nekkid, up on the roof of the car… he was in a carrier. I don’t understand people’s viewpoint about this… but then I didn’t understand memorializing dead fish, either…

    Pete – first, to be sure she is voting for Romney – she’s just struggling with being happy about it. To be honest, I am struggling with that myself. But when I read these stories, weeks ago now, I began to feel a little better about him. Anyway, I wanted you to know, when I sent her the link to this article I said exactly what you did – we see people with their dogs in the back of pick ups all the time. I think that is dumb too – but not so different from strapping on the roof.
