I watched Mitt Romney’s speech. He supports women and immigrants but his party’s platform wants to control women’s bodies and wants to send Hispanics home and build a fence.

He wants to increase education, but the platform would slash funding.

He says he will end Obama­care, the same program he instituted in Massachusetts.

He wants to help the poor and elderly but supports Paul Ryan’s budget, which slashes Medicaid funding and changes Medicare as we know it.

He wants to privatize Social Security so people can invest the money themselves, but how many working people understand the stock market and investing?

He said President Barack Obama didn’t keep his promises, but he never mentions how Republicans in the Senate used the filibuster over and over to block laws that would help the country.

He lists points he and Ryan will follow but never explains how he would accomplish them. I can’t wait to hear Obama’s speech.
