Whether you like Romney or not, this story is very revealing. I hope

the Republican Party is still the party of family values and

character.

Sometimes, this facet of Romney's personality isn't so subtle. In July

1996, the 14-year-old daughter of Robert Gay, a partner at Bain

Capital, had disappeared. She had attended a rave party in New York

City and gotten high on ecstasy. Three days later, her distraught

father had no idea where she was and Romney took immediate action. He

closed down the entire firm and asked all 30 partners and employees to

fly to New York to help find Gay's daughter. Romney set up a command

center at the LaGuardia Marriott and hired a private detective firm to

assist with the search. He established a toll-free number for tips,

coordinating the effort with the NYPD, and went through his Rolodex

and called everyone Bain did business with in New York , and asked them

to help find his friend's missing daughter. Romney's accountants at

Price Waterhouse Cooper put up posters on street poles, while cashiers

at a pharmacy owned by Bain put fliers in the bag of every shopper.

Romney and the other Bain employees scoured every part of New York and

talked with everyone they could, prostitutes, drug addicts, anyone.

That day, their hunt made the evening news, which featured photos of

the girl and the Bain employees searching for her. As a result, a

teenage boy phoned in, asked if there was a reward, and then hung up

abruptly. The NYPD traced the call to a home in New Jersey , where they

found the girl in the basement, shivering and experiencing withdrawal

symptoms from a massive ecstasy dose. Doctors later said the girl

might not have survived another day. Romney's former partner credits

Mitt Romney with saving his daughter's life, saying, "It was the most

amazing thing, and I'll never forget this to the day I die."

So, here's my epiphany: Mitt Romney simply can't help himself. He sees

a problem, and his mind immediately sets to work solving it, sometimes

consciously, and sometimes not-so-consciously. He doesn't do it for

self-aggrandizement, or for personal gain. He does it because that's

just how he's wired.

Many people are unaware of the fact that when Romney was asked by his

old employer, Bill Bain, to come back to Bain & Company as CEO to

rescue the firm from bankruptcy, Romney left Bain Capital to work at

Bain & Company for an annual salary of one dollar. When Romney went

to the rescue of the 2002 Salt Lake Olympics, he accepted no salary

for three years, and wouldn't use an expense account. He also accepted

no salary as Governor of Massachusetts.

Character counts! The media and Obama re-election machine will focus

on Romney's wealth and the immorality of it, as they see it, but

Romney is a man who uses his wealth to bless and to make this world a

better place. Let's get this message out because it is not likely

that the media will do so!
