Romney is the best read of the 2008 candidates.

Reasons to agree

  1. Romney is the only 2008 candidate who was an English major. Mitt Romney was not just any English major, he was valedictorian.
  2. Romney is the only 2008 candidate to have an MBA.
  3. Romney and Obama are the only Harvard law school graduates.
  4. As far as I know, Romney is the only candidate to have read "The Looming Tower" by Lawrence Wright. This is one of the most important books that a presidential candidate should read.
  5. As far as I know, Romney is the only candidate to have read "American Jihad: The Terrorists Living Among Us" by Steven Emerso. This is one of the most important books that a presidential candidate should read.
  6. As far as I know, Romney is the only candidate to have read "Future Jihad: Terrorist Strategies Against America" by Walid Phares. This is one of the most important books that a presidential candidate should read.
  7. As far as I know, Romney is the only candidate to have read "China, Inc." by Ted C. Fishman. This is one of the most important books that a presidential candidate should read.

Romney should release all his book reports.

Reasons to agree:

  1. People are going to assume the worst about why he liked a book, if he doesn't give any reason at all. For instance, he lists a book by Mark Twain on his website. People are doubting weather this is really his favorite book.
  2. Mitt Romney was a valedictorian English major. He had to have read a lot of books.
  3. These book reports from when he was younger, would give a great window into his mind.
  4. People who liked those books, like Romney.
  5. People may try to find embarrassing things in the book report, but people are going to assume the worst about Mitt Romney, and it is better to have them making fact based criticisms, because Romney did very well in school.
  6. In the olden days, no one would publish all your book reports. Now information is free. Romney could put them all on his web page, and only those who wanted to read them would.

Reasons to disagree:

  1. People would search his book reports to for things to embarrass him.

  2. The See-Through CEO: Fire the publicist. Go off message. Let all your employees blab and blog. In the new world of radical transparency, the path to business success is clear.

Romney Reading 2: Get naked and rule the world!

Get Naked and...

Rule the world...

 

"Smart companies are sharing secrets with rivals, blogging about products in their pipeline, even admitting to their failures. The name of this new game is RADICAL TRANSPARENCY, and it's sweeping boardrooms across the nation. Even those Office drones at Dunder Mifflin get it. So strip down and learn how to have it all by baring it all."

 

The latest cover of Wired Magazine, has the girl from "The Office" and Napoleon Dino mite's love interest in blades of glory, proclaiming, "Get naked and rule the world". She is not wearing any clothes, but she is not really advocating that we all take off our clothes. It is a figure of speech.

 

Naked, in this sense, means transparent.

 

Mitt Romney wants, like the other candidates, to rule the world, so I suggest (along with this article) that he gets naked.

 

For all the articles in this subject go here:

 

http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/15.04/wired40.html

 

For the best article go here:

 

http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/15.04/wired40_ceo.html

 

It is called, "The See-Through CEO". The intro says, "Fire the publicist. Go off message. Let all your employees blab and blog. In the new world of radical transparency, the path to business success is clear."

 

From here on out I'm going to assume you have read the article (so go read it) and agree that the presidential candidates should get naked (or go transparent).

 

How would they do this? I have a lot of ideas, but would like to hear yours also. Just e-mail me.

 

If I was a candidate I would:

  1. Release all book reports I have ever done. People will assume the worse. It is better for them to have the facts.
  2. Post every picture, in all my photo albums. I have nothing to hide. Post some of them on Google's photo site, some on Yahoo's, some on Flickr, and see what happens.
  3. Use a lie detector in all debates. I have nothing to be ashamed of.

 

People have presently not liked a book that Mitt Romney said he liked. They are saying all sorts of crazy stuff about him, because there is a lack of information. Scientist know that a vacuum gets filled. If the candidate does not stuff stuff into the public interest, they will just make stuff up. People were saying, on this New York Times site, that Romney has only read 3 books in his life. That he is not read. That none of his books get opened, that he only reads science fiction, that his book choice shows that he is not intellectually curious. These people are all stupid, but they are stupid voters. Mitt Romney has done a great job of convincing smart, big shot, insiders to support him. He has more endorsements than any other 2008 presidential candidate. But he needs to get his message out to these stupid people that are going to just assume stupid stuff about him, if he doesn't prostitute his complete life story all over his website.

 

If he went into storage, and got every single book report that he wrote, while earning his English degree, people wouldn't say this stupid stuff. Romney received his English degree valedictorian. He is very well read, but how are we to know it, unless he publishes his college book reports.

 

Hillary was a radical at college. Romney should say that he will release all his book reports, and papers, if she will.

America's Global Challenges

Governor Romney's Strategy To Combat The Threat Of Nuclear Terrorism :

Governor Romney Has Outlined A New Strategy To Prevent Nuclear Material From Ending Up In The Hands Of Terrorists:

  • Expanding And Accelerating Actions To Combat Nuclear Terrorism. Combating the threat of nuclear terrorism needs to be a top Presidential priority.
  • Empowering A Senior Ambassador To Lead Efforts To Prevent Nuclear Terrorism. Governor Romney would appoint a new Ambassador-at-Large to Prevent Nuclear Terror.
  • Making Nuclear Trafficking A Crime Against Humanity.
  • Creating A Gold Standard For Nuclear Security. Because of recent technological and political developments, we need to update our commitment to non-proliferation, including a new commitment to stringent security regimes.
  • Frank, Direct Efforts With Russia On Containing This Threat.
  • Removing The Incentive For Dangerous Civilian Nuclear Capabilities. The United States should take the lead in organizing and financing an international fuel bank to guarantee low-cost supplies of nuclear reactor fuel to countries willing to adhere to heightened security and safety standards.

Governor Romney On The Democrat Strategy In Iraq:

"As our military men and women fight against violent, radical Jihadists in Iraq, the Democrats need to stop pleading for surrender.

(Governor Mitt Romney, Remarks At The Livingston County, MI, Lincoln Day Dinner, Whitmore Lake, MI, 4/27/07)

Governor Romney Outlines Steps The Federal Government Can Take To Help Industry. "The federal government, he said, can help by investing in research and technology such as fuel technology.

(Chris Andrews, "Romney Says He Will Help Auto Industry," Lansing State Journal, 4/29/07)
