Why This Cleveland Democrat Supports Mitt Romney

Like just about every Irishman from Cleveland, I've been a proud Democrat all my life. I was honored to serve as the Democratic congressman representing Northeast Ohio in Washington, D.C., and as president of the Cleveland City Council. One thing I learned about politics is that people judge you by your words the first time around, but they judge you by your actions the second time around.
…
I supported Barack Obama in 2008 because I liked what he had to say. But after four years of painful unemployment and $5 trillion in new debt under President Obama, it's clear to me that he just hasn't gotten the job done.
When President Obama arrived in Washington, he was handed the keys to the whole federal government -- with his party controlling both houses of Congress. He told the American people that policies like his $1 trillion stimulus bill would bring unemployment down to 5.4 percent by now. But today, we're still 9 million jobs short of that goal. In fact, the unemployment rate is stuck exactly where it was when President Obama took office -- 7.8 percent.
…
As a Catholic Democrat, I was deeply disappointed by the Obama administration's decision to force Catholic organizations and charities to pay for certain medical services that violate their faith.
…
I am endorsing Gov. Mitt Romney because I believe it's time for new leadership. Governor Romney has the experience and the right plan to launch an American economic comeback -- by achieving energy independence, reducing our deficit, improving job training, supporting small businesses, and reforming our outdated tax code that too often gets in the way of job creation. That's a real plan to get people back to work.
This Cleveland Democrat will be proud to stand with Gov. Mitt Romney on November 6.
