I work for a living and to be completely honest. I don't have anything in common with Mitt Romney! Ninety nine percent of the voting populace can only wish for things that Romney takes for granted.
Gee wouldn't it be great if someone came up to you and said hey . . . . I haven't seen you in years, what are you doing now for a living?
And your reply:
Oh, I just sit around and manage my family fortune and (to build my ego up even more) every four years I run for president . . .
This man made his fortune by downsizing and closing US factories, firing workers, and off shoring American jobs. Seriously how could anybody who works for a living vote for this clown?

It's worth the trip only to hear her voice once again. I taught her "Falling in Love Again"

I've got an ass and he IS an ass - does that count?

(16,171 posts)I got the feeling he was seeing me as another species. I felt very talked down to, like he was annoyed at having to speak to such a low life. I was not impressed.

George Romney, one of the last of the great liberal Republicans.

(53,214 posts)He is living in the shadow of a big man and I think that's why he's running for president. George Romney never made it to the White House, so Mitt desperately and pathetically tries to accomplish something his father couldn't.
We saw the repercussions of that kind of father-son relationship with GW. Poppy didn't take out Hussein, so GW had to prove himself by doing it, no matter how many lives were ruined.
Men who have to be bigger than their fathers can really be dangerous in politics.

PatSeg
(53,214 posts)I can picture a young Mitt trying desperately to please his father and always falling short. He looks desperate enough to do anything to reach his goal, but once he reaches it (hopefully never), he'll have no where else to go. Scary thought.
I wonder if Mitt had an overbearing, domineering mother like GW did.

I don't know how anyone who cares about this country at even a minimal level, working or not, can vote for that clown. It's amazing how many ignorant, uninformed people there are in this country. I dare say racism has a hand in it, too.

(28,762 posts)and what he has done probably are the two biggest factors.
But, anybody who works for a paycheck and votes for any republican, do so only to entertain the wealthy.
