If Romney calls you for money....

tell him to call the Cayman Islands, you heard that the GOP millionaires all send their money there.

Just like his view of the 47%, Romney doesn't have enough skin in the game

he needs to bring his money back from his overseas tax shelters and invest in his own campaign.
LOL

its time for more standardized tests

the news is all around us

we need to have politicians who understand arithmetic, science, and logic
how the hell do we wind up with a presidential candidate who thinks the middle class income is upto $250,000

clearly more standardized testing is needed in order to qualify politicians to run for office

is it true that Romney as Governor vetoed a law preventing outsourcing of jobs paid for by taxpayers

Massachusetts lost 14% of its manufacturing jobs (double the national rate) because he vetoed legislation that would have banned companies doing business with the state from outsourcing jobs to other countries. I

how does Romney get $100 million IRA with a $5K annual contribution limit

I think I need to see every year of taxes in deatil to understand that travesty

AnnR:how lucky we are to have someone with Mitt’s qualifications....to run the country

All I can say is wow.
He's going to RUN the country
He's not going to serve the country
He's not going to serve 47% of the people
In fact, he's not even going to serve the other 53% of the people
He's going to run the country.

My question is what the heck does that mean?
When he was CEO of Bain, he claimed he wasn't responsible for anything that Bain did....and he retired retroactively.
So even when he was CEO he wasn't CEO.
Beyond clueless

had to share, funny Romney image

"Conventional wisdom going into this election stated that a vaguely human-looking block of wood, if it managed to obtain the Republican nomination, would be able to win. Why not? Presidents, conventional wisdom continued, warming to its subject, simply don’t get reelected in economies like this."

Romney Hood, stealing from the poor to give to the rich

as in emptying workers pension funds and giving yourself and staff huge bonuses.

I certainly heard people feeling entitled this campaign....

I think it was when Ann said "its our turn"....
Can't think of anything comparable on the democratic side about a sense of entitlement, can you?

(Top 10) Things Romney/Ryan can do to turn things around---

10) have their son who vehemently protested a hospice because it would lower property values speak on their behalf about how much they care about people who are suffering in life
9) have 10 people who Bain destroyed their jobs talk about how much happier they are now that they have so much time to spend with their families
8) have Massachusetts voters talk about how glad they were that Romney helped cool down the job market in Massachusetts
7) have some vietnam vets thank Romney for risking his life in Paris while they were in Nam.
6) have an even more elder elder of the Mormon Church saying that maybe the Romney's tithed their 10%
5) have Romney's tax attorney's say that they had illness in the family and that's why Romney's tax return isn't ready yet
4) have the Cayman Island counterparty say that Romney is really generous when he comes to visit his money, he actually tips the taxi driver $5 (US)
3) have their illegal gardeners talk about how easy it is to be a Mexican in America and Romney's really brave to run for office given his background
2) (Queen) Ann says of course they care about the poor, they gave their housekeeper two days off to bury her parents after the earthquake in Haiti
1) Romney apologizes for not making it clear which 47% he meant...he meant only the non-white 47%

This is an attempt at sarcasm!
