Mitt Romney must have no political sense at all. A day after his "I don't care about the poor" gaffe, he is set to genuflect before the birther, publicity seeker. Donald Trump must be working for the DNC.

At least they know how to read an income & expense sheet and know how to produce revenue, not just legislate more tax confiscation of it.

As for the comment taken out of context about "the poor", it was about aiming to focus on the majority in the middle who do NOT have a "safety net", such as the working poor who don't qualify for Medicaid/Medicare nor welfare, as "the poor" do now. Romney said that, and that if the safety net of the poor has holes, they'd fix it.

But admitting that inconvenient part would take a listener who's interested in a whole statement, not just key buzz words to use as campaign weaponry.

LOL - maybe The Donald will be put in charge of the "birth certifiicate" issue. The R's should make that a campaign topic - it is such a cutting edge issue.

What ever happened to those "special investigators" Donald sent to Hawaii last Spring to get to the bottom of the bc thing?

I wonder if Trump will ask to see Romney's long form birth certificate. He should ask him why his father was born in Mexico. Romney's great-grandfather moved his family to Mexico so that he could have five wives after the supreme court banned polygamy in the US.

Gov Romney's plans would eliminate most of those safety nets for the poor.
Rush Limbaugh, Wall St Journal, and National Journal all blasted Romney for remarks.

Hmmmmm....Farakhan endorsing Obama....hmmmmm

I always get a kck out of the reaction of some folks when they hear or read about Donald Trump. I suppose it is because Trump is such a braggart in their minds. However as will rogers once said, "If you done it, it ain't bragging.". Donald Trump is one of those people who thrives on controversey spinning it into gold. He is arrogant, a loudmouth, etc etc but what makes him likable is he is so darn and honest about who he is and what he will do. I find his acts of directness freshing after so many of these slick politicians telling you what you want to hear but acting contrary

I thought Donald Trump would endorse Newt Gingrich so they could discuss their third wives.

For a very long time there was a lot of that going around. The younger generation bearing witness to their parents remarriages said that's not for me and the divorce rate stats are now coming down.

So youcan see that although you don't have to be a Mormon to have five wives you do under the law have to have only one at a time. So to get to my question just what is it you are trying to say about people who marry more than once as referenced in your aforementioned comments?

Well, Rubicon, in Newt's case, I would say he is a slimeball. He carried on an affair while married to wife #1 - while she was having cancer treatments and surgeries; he carried on a different affair while married to wife #2; and you can bet that Calista has an ironclad pre-nup that would take every penny from Newt if he divorces her.

Why won't he be "direct" and tell us what became of those special investigators he said he sent to Hawaii?


... crickets ....

If I start taking the words of "The One" out of context, or just pick the one part of a sentence that makes him look bad, you would throw a hissy fit.

But, that is what you've done above. Are you so worried about Romney that you find it necessary to do this?

The courts have far more investigative powers than Trump and Obama's lawyers have blocked every attempt for production of documents,interragatories etc. I suspect we will never really know because unless the truth is revealed while Obama is in office there will be little motivation to pursue it after he leaves office; short of a few who have made it their life mission. Personally if it is true I hope the nation never knows because it could be such a devasting precedent

It would also be more than devastating to find out something or someone much bigger than our Presidency, Congress and Supreme Court all combined holds our nation's future in its grip.

I have heard Romney's complete interview with Soledad O'Brien about a dozen times, beginning to end. If I am taking it out of context, why are Rush Limbaugh, The Wall Street Journal and The National Review bashing Romney for what he said? You can check it out. You're a smart guy.
