More Than Twice As Many Small Business Owners Support Mitt Romney Over Obama

More than twice as many small business owners support Mitt Romney over Barack Obama.
Including the owner of Crumb and Get It in Virginia.
It’s no secret that Barack Obama is bent on destroying small business.
The Washington Post reported:
Main Street has already proved an important battleground in the presidential election. So which candidate is winning the favor of small business owners?
Mitt Romney, and it’s not even close, according to a new poll.
Sixty-one percent of small business owners plan to vote for the Republican challenger, more than double the 26 percent who say they will vote for President Obama, shows a survey released Tuesday by Manta. The president’s numbers have fallen six points since May, while Mitt Romney has picked up four points with business owners. In the latest national polls, the candidates are virtually deadlocked.
Obama still has time to make up ground on Main Street, but he will need a solid performance next month in Charlotte. Forty percent of respondents said their vote could swing based on the small business issues — namely taxes, healthcare and regulations — discussed at the conventions, while one in four said they’re still waiting to see what types of initiatives the candidates outline between now and November.

Those small-business men still not convinced would do well to watch this video.

The trouble is, is that there are way more State workers, teachers and other folks feeding on the Government.
Those folks are not going to vote Republican and potentially lose their golden pensions….
Kate commented:
Not surprising. These people want to succeed. Obama makes that as hard as possible.
Joe Blow commented:
Gretta made me mad the other night when she interview this small business owner. She asked him why he didn’t want Biden’s group to use his place as a photo op and tried to corner him when he said because he doesn’t agree with the administration on some religious views. She jumped on him asking him if he refused to serve “all” people. He was smart enough not to be put into the corner of her trap. He kept saying he was a Christian and I expect he didn’t want to be hounded like the Chick Fil A guy. Good for him, standing up to everybody!

serving all the people does not mean one has to allow anyone to use a photo of your business for campaign purposes.
and yes, #4 has it right. We have a divided country based on who is sucking from the government trough and those who input to the government trough.

“Friend, you cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom.
And what one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
The government can’t give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody.
And when half of the people get the idea they don’t have to work because the other half’s going to take care of them, and when the other half get the idea it does no good to work because somebody’s going to get what I work for.
That, dear friend, is about the end of any nation.”
- Adrian Rogers (1931-2005)

Limbaugh is making the point even as I type, but I’ll put it in my own terms:
There are a lot more Section VIII subprime parasites than there are small business owners, and we know who the freeloaders going to vote for.
Patty commented:
This is a real great story and thankfully the truth. Speak volumes on America’s ingenuity and greatness.
My only hope is that AMERICA all, see it and think hard about whether Obama is right for America. And the small business owners are the backbone of America.
Well they continue to be or will Obama keep destroying small business, if he wins, he will.
Now, tell everyone you can that Obama is wrong for America and wrong for small business.

So what small business man — be sides those in “Green” businesses, which are dropping like flies anyway — would favor Obama in the first place?

if you don’t like the politicans using you income to buy their way into office, don’t let them take your money in the first place.

The Elector of Saxony commented:
Too bad more than half the country gets a government check instead of paying taxes! Eventually, the freeloaders always win and turn into parasites that destroy the host. Every, single, time. We had a chance after the War, maybe even until the early 1960′s to restrain the growth of Communism in this country, but we absolutely refused to stand up against Ted Kennedy, Martin King, and the burgeoning Marxist-Media complex that maintained a virtual stranglehold on news and information until the late 1990′s. We should have held the line on the so-called Civil Rights Act. We should have prevented Killer Kennedy from rewriting our immigration laws. We should have prevented the parasitical from voting. If you don’t contribute, what can your vote possibly do but destroy society?
And it’s because we, the Conservative wing of the country, really are the nice guys. We want desperately to believe that if we just give people with an average IQ of 80 a hand up in the world they’ll turn into differently-colored Issac Newtons. We desperately want to imagine that the flood of Hispanic immigration is about the American dream and it’s a flood of “natural Republican voters”. None of the fairy stories are true, they aren’t getting any truer, and there is evidence every single place you turn your gaze in this country, but we still don’t want to FIGHT to save our country. We still want to be nice, pretend Martin Luther King would vote for Mitt Romney or GWB over Obama or Kerry, we still want to believe that if we just explain our position better, the 50% of the country that is free riding will suddenly want to get off the couch and go to work every day, but none of this is true. Newsflash! They just want more free stuff, and they want the Government to take it from you. They have no pride, no shame, none of the virtues that built the Nation. They aren’t going to read “The Wealth of Nations” and “The Rights of Man” and suddenly turn into classical Liberals who understand that markets may seem unfair but that they spur production and efficiently allocate scarce resources. Go to a Detroit public school and speak that sentence. You won’t find a single TEACHER who knows what those words mean or signify.
In the pre-media saturated world, it would have taken 200 years more to destroy our civilization, and everything we’ve built here in the United States. After Obama, I don’t think it will take more than a few decades until we are only a little better off then South Africa. That, my friends, is something you won’t want your children to experience. But they will and you are partly to blame because you won’t see the Truth.

Shelly commented:
I honestly believe at the end of the day, people are going to vote their pocketbooks. I don’t know many people who haven’t had their wallets lightened with either no pay, less pay, loss of business, cost of gas, food and everything else.
Not many outside the WH that is.
That’s the way it’s always worked, the top guy gets the blame or the glory for the economy.
So I’ll be shocked if Romney/Ryan don’t win, my only fear is not winning Congress and that will be a huge loss and long live Obamacare.
