Mitt Romney in TV yesterday
 

I saw a brief clip on the news this morning, indicating that Mitt Romney addressed a group of 1000 seniors outside of Orlando. The background looked like it could have been in The Villages. He was singing "America The Beautiful."

I am just wondering if Mitt made an appearance yesterday.

He was here. A news commentator referred to The Villages as a place where people drove around in golf carts and where the "ELDERLY" lived.

I am about to gather the girl's posse again to smack the snot outa that commentator.

Oh, You were talking about Mitt. He was here last night and Newt was here Sunday.

Mitt, Newt, Barack. Do any of you remember that we used to be thinking about voting for people like Bill and Bob and John?

Hmmmm.........."ELDERLY" is a relative term.........:icon_wink:

It's all about how you feel, I guess.........

I like 'Ike'
 

Gracie,

I heard that "Ike" once stood on the grounds of LSL...except back then it was just one of many area cornfields. Only the 'senior' farmers were there to listen, and Ike wasn't talking about quantitative QE3 Fed easing.

How old was the commentator, 30? To her we are elderly!

Why all those youngesters under 50 are just kids to us.

Mitt has such a beautiful voice. If he doesn't get the nomination he could be a kaoroke jock. :ohdear:

I thought a mitt was something you used to catch a baseball.

That's the problem with the media today. They're all a bunch of wet behind the ears young'ns!

....and a Newt was what we used to call geckos in Connecticut,
....and a Barack was where I lived when I was in the service,
....and a Ronnie is sorely missed!

I *LOVE* it !

:bigbow: :clap2: :)

I asked my 90 year old mother to call a friend on mine's mother as she knew her from the old neighborhhod as she was dying of cancer and down in the dumps. She called and then complained to me that she couldn't talk to her as she kept saying, "what"?.

She then asked how old she was. I replied, she is 78.

Mom said, "she's just a kid". It's all relative.

I guess "elderly" is nicer than "old" in this politically correct world.

Age is a number as long as one feels good. :)

My mother is 97 and her eyesight and hearing have been failing for some time. She cannot hear me across the dining room table. I raise my voice, and she starts crying, saying, "Well, you don't have to SCREAM at me !"

Go figure.......

It's a proven fact that people who say "what", can hear". :jester:

Same thing with my mom and when in a public place, I felt like I was broadcasting our conversations. I'm sure it will happen to me at some point in time.

I just head on the news The Villages referred to as a HOME for seniors.

What a load of BS,...why, we just had a 28 year old Villages resident with tatoos posting on here the other day !:)

As you probably have encountered, people who have difficulty hearing tend to speak louder than they normally would.

One time, my wife and I were sitting in the doctor's waiting room, and my mom blurted out a remark about a certain ethnic group. In unison, the 20 or so people who were sitting there, whipped their heads around and stared at her. Sitting next to her, my wife and I felt like crawling in a hole !

To lead a country that has made celebrities out of Kim Kardashian and those nitwits from the Jersey Shore,he would be better served as a karaoke deejay.Why anybody in their right mind would actually aspire to be the leader of this #%&*&%# country, is beyond any level of my comprehension.:confused:

Wow!! I certainly don't think of a Kardashian as a celebrity, or any one from Jersey....however, I am proud to say I'm an American in our great country.

Mitt
 

In response to the person who was unaware that Mitt was here last night. I know we, here in TV, live in a bubble but I found it interesting that there are bubbles within the bubble. So I need to ask. Is there an election this Fall?

Is it possible that "that unaware person"may not be in TV??

Judging this country by our reality tv stars is just plain silly. Why not judge us by the millions of volunteers that give time to help those less fortunate, or by our volunteer armed forces that go in harms way everyday for freedom. Or by our immigrants working two and three jobs so their children can have a better life. Sorry for the rant, not my usual style at all.

So what.

Since I started this thread, you must be referring to me. Since my "bubble" is about 1200 miles from your "bubble," I was not aware that Mitt had been in TV. I had seen the story on the news this morning, and asked the question.

There was someone who started another thread who was present in TV, but was not aware that Mitt was there.

And yes - there is an election in the fall, as well as the Florida primary today.

Huh????

What's what??

It's helpful if you use the "Quote" button when replying to a post....That way, we know what you're saying "So What" about......Did that make sense? :shocked:

Yes ! Very much so.

:agree:

Would you rather i discuss the hopelessness,desperation,and poverty felt throughout this country and nothing being done, except more rhetoric by politicians..Outside the bubble, in the real world,this country is failing miserably.Do you want to judge our"great" country by it's current standing in the world,it's not good, using any statistical analysis.Check out where our students are ranked in math,science,history, and verbal skills with the other developed countries.If they were tested on reality tv stars, we would get the 1st place blue ribbon hands down,and what does that tell you about our future generation?We have a serious problem,when our politicians say"it could be worse."Unfortunately our politicians are like the steering wheel of a car,but that steering wheel is not connected to the engine.Soooooooooooo where are we headed..............................???????????

No.....I would rather you discuss problems and solutions rather than what you wrote in your original post which was "Why anybody in their right mind would actually aspire to be the leader of this #%&*&%# country, is beyond any level of my comprehension." I object to the symbolic curse words in front of the word "country" (though I will defend your right to use them). But the political process we are going through now (as painful as it is at times) is an attempt at fixing some of the problems you mentioned that we are all very well aware of. But I think you answered your own question. Poor student rankings in math and science, vanishing middle class, tax inequities, world hunger and poverty.........trying to fix these problems are exactly the reasons that good people would want to be President.

The Florida legislature has the solution for this, cut education spending every year!

I do not think low scores in math, science are of a major concern.We still rank up there.Remember, If a child wants to learn he will learn.

Unfortunately we are 25th in math and 21st in science out of 30 industrialized countries. 68% of 8th graders can't read at grade level, 1.2 million students dropping out every year, and 44% of dropouts under 24 are jobless.These "reality tv " students are the future,and for us still in the real world, that's not a good sign.I realize once many of us move into "the bubble" a pollyanna mentality is possible,and that's not all bad.Except, when you actually believe that the politicians in Washington are really working for our benefit and care what we think.They have the lowest approval ratings in history,and there is a reason why they are soooooooooooo low. These problems can't be readily fixed and that's why good people don't run for office anymore,they don't want to deal with all the political gridlock. Just throw them all out and start from scratch, how could it possibly get any worse????????By the way,whenever i use a curse word i use the first and last letter with symbols in between, and not all symbols.

Mama said I should not curse.

What universe are you in where low scores in math and science are not a major concern???? We are no longer "right up there." And a child wanting to learn does not magically result in the ability to solve radical equations.....

this entire thread seems to have gone off the track - just like the political debates did! just sayin'.

I kept checking the thread for comments about Mitt's visit. You're right about off track! Oh well, it's old news now that he has won Florida.

Kentucky Blue, nothing you say now or in the future will carry any weight with me after your disgraceful disparaging reference to my country.

Why waste your time here when you could be filling out immigration applications to other countries. Your departure would be your contribution to the improvement of this country.

Boy Howdy!

Let's all regroup and rethink and rephrase. Good night shirt!
