she's looking for attention, and mittytwit is busy making money for himself and destroying jobs in Amerika and shipping them to China! Nothing being said about the 'untender' side here. Cheering section on LSD here. You know, alternate universe shit.

fanfare; but that doesn't make them Presidential material. The Morman guy supporting Mitt doesn't realize the fact that Romney doesn't have the necessary qualifications to handle the job. He was a failure as governor, and lacks knowledge of well rounded leadership in all areas, especially US foreign relations, probably the most important area in Presidential leadership.

Nowhere did Ms. King say she supports Romney. She's a host doing an interview and trying to sound nonpartisan. She and her best friend, Oprah, are Obama supporters.

She is a socialite. It is not like she mingles with ordinary people. What has she done for her community? So what was it Mitt helped her with? Did he help her with her taxes?

She's not a "socialite." Yes, she does "mingle with ordinary people." She does a great deal for "her community." Mitt helped her with nothing, including "her taxes." If you don't like her because she's rich and famous, fair enough (but irrational.) But don't make vague and ignorant claims because of your irrational dislike of her.

I don't read anything that could be construed as ignorant. This person is appearing with two other mittytwit defenders/apologists/ making claims about his "tender" side. Destroying american families by taking their livelihoods, hundreds, and sending their jobs to china to be worked at for slave wages makes him a tender guy??!! Wake up! Gayle is a Benedict Arnold. Period. I don't care if she is or isn't 'society'. I don't care if she does things for her community! She's negating all good by speaking so glowingly about the mittsnake. That's the point, not your pointing out her 'good' side... evidently she's hoping for some help IF he can steal the election. Glad you're not driving. And they are liars. IF Mittsnake does anything it is with an agenda to get ahead in mind or to evade the draft. You remember france, don't you. I was sweating bullets while he's drawing love letters in the sand and allegedly driving drunk and killing someone who's family was paid off to keep things tamped down... Real touching sides of the many sided mittsnake. Everything he does, is for effect. One small last question. Why the photo of his altruistic gesture to "someone he never met, but helped"? GIVE ME A BREAK!

The poster was basing his opinion on his hatred of anyone he perceives as a Mitt supporter. From what I can find, Gayle is evidently not that. Now, I hate Mitt, the asshole, as much as anyone. Maybe even more than I hate B*sh, and that's saying something. But Gayle King has been an Obama supporter right along. You're either imagining or outright making shit up, just like rethugs do. Hmmm. For example, the accident in France (where, he indeed was a cowardly draft-dodging creep) was caused by the drunken driver of the other car who hit them head on, according to immediate (not after imaginary payoffs) police reports. I'm all for calling out his neverending lies, but anyone else's, too. There's really no need to make up awful things about him -- there is just too much real stuff out there. And as an aside, I'd be willing to bet that, despite what the author being interviewed said, he helps ONLY fellow Mormons. He's a disgusting excuse for a human being and it would be a horrible disaster for this country if he achieves the presidency, but don't forget that Ms. King is a journalist. She made no claims of support, not even inadvertent ones, nor did she lie.
peace

you are entitled to your opinion. BUt I am not a liar and take offense at that depiction. Yet to speak on Ms. King, from her verbal demeanor all I get is a mittsnake apologist. And no, the thing in France was covered up and that's that. No, Mittsnake and his friend were drunk, yet Mittsnakes friend switched places so mittsnake wouldn't get blamed. The man is not a business genius. Vulture capitalism 's only requirement is to have no soul or conscience about the lives destroyed for personal profit.. Ms. King is a Benedict Arnold holding on to her big bucks. Oh he was so tender at that funeral. Give me a break. She could ask this so-called writer some hard question like does mittsnake ever show remorse about the lives he destroyed as a venture/vulture capitalist. He' is not a business man, he's the devil in disguise. peace back atcha!.

except the France part. There is absolutely no evidence to back up your claim. I know it's the conspiracy theory being floated out there, but no evidence supports it. I prefer to base my hatred of the creepy Mr. rMoney on fact. BTW, you do know that Mormons don't drink, right? I have heard no accusations questioning his adherence to his nutty faith. So I doubt that, even if the rest were true, he was driving drunk. I consider you misinformed, not a liar, but I apologize anyway. So. We're both on the same side -- hating the scummy asshole.

tis true. he,s scummy, creepy, slimy, weasely(is that a word?) No doubt we are on the same side. Just I've read about him since the beginning of his run for office and the drunk thing, religion or not, I do understand, keeps surfacing with me from the time I heard the original story. Yes my reason when it comes to this individual sometimes gets clouded . I lived in Massachusetts for 5 years, love Truro Beach, so my acquaintances keep me abreast of activities in that state. Go Dr. E. Warren!

It's mainly about fattening there wallets and they see Romney as doing that because they know he wants to take care of them.Personally I'm not felling these celebrities because they got it good even with Obama in office because of those Bush tax cuts
