You probably also thought it was hilarious when Ann Romney said "you people have all the tax returns you're going to get". You people???????????? What are we..........her subjects? I suspect that's the way she speaks to the hired help.

Except that you lie.

Ann Romney never said "you people". It was an invented gaffe by hater's like you.

But you know who did???............Barack Obama:

“It shouldn’t be a Democrat/Republican issue,” Obama said. “America is not just about you people doing well. America is about everybody doing well.”

Where's your rage, Democrats?

what's the difference between flip flopping and evolving?

I had not noticed one of the posters on this thread who could refute item for item the top ten list Ed posted?

Compared to the sliding scale standards used in today's society Romney could be canonized a Saint. He is hard working, a good husband and family man, a church goer, provides good example for his children to follow, charitable, clean cut, an all American, despite previous vettings does not appear to have anything to hide, intelligent, well educated and has leadership experience/skills.

Gosh I have my hands waist high palms up and doing a balancing the scale motion Obama Romney Obama Romney Obama Romney. Geezzz this is such a difficult decision

I am neither a Romney supporter, nor an Obama supporter. My belief is that both are good men who truly want what is best for their country. Obama has not done a stellar job, despite good intentions. Mitt, is a good man and may be able to get things turned around, but we cannot know for sure. I am still watching, listening, reading, and questioning who deserves my one vote.

Good post eweissenbach. I too am waiting for the debates even though after the London and Israel comments by Mitt Romney I am leaning heavily towards Barack Obama. Romney looks to much like he wants to start a war. He actually seems rather hotheaded with respect to foreign policy. Seems to be selling out peace in the Mideast for a few Jewish votes.

Don't take my word for it. Here is Ann Romney in her own words.

"knowing" is a relative term.

What each of us "knows" is relative to each individual....I am quite content (some prefer to call it naieve or whatever) in what I know about Mitt Romney as a candidate and his morals VS Barrack Obama's morals as a candidate and POTUS for the last 4 years.

I know as much as anybody else does that does not rely only on the media for input and knowledge.

As far as quoting John Edwards as an example you only underscore that for most politicians it really does not matter what their morals are....until they get caught.

What I "know" tells me Romney is the far better man. When I aquire any new information that may affect what I know, I will take that into consideration.

No different than the litany of defenders of Obama who supposedly "know" him.

Remember the advantage of Romney his background is non political, hence by what we all "know" that means he certainly is more credible than most political incumbents.

It's still a lie and ABC News itself said she didn't say "YOU"

I'll take liberal ABC News' story over extreme Politico, thank you.

Your pants are on fire.

I actually saw the interview and Ann Romney did say "you people" although my interpretation - based on hand gestures, facial expression, etc. - was that she meant "you people - the media". I don't understand how we, the people will get this important information if not through the media. Also, I think that it's very unfortunate that both the campaign and Governor Romney chose to send his wife out to answer questions when Romneys' tax returns were a "hot" item. These questions are better asked of him and should be answered by releasing more than one complete tax filing.

Yeah, I thought Edwards was above the fray - what a scumbag he turned out to be.

Thought that word was reserved for Rush!

Harry Reid is reporting that a Bain investor told him that Mitt Romney paid zero taxes for ten years. Apparently, Romney is one of the 47% that pays no federal income tax that posters on this forum are always complaining about.

Perhaps Harry Reid is telling the truth perhas not but it is possible. My question is what makes it wrong if Romney abided by all of the IRS rulings, exceptions, deductions, etc and managed to walk away without owing any taxes. In otherwords why would you fault an individual for doing what Congress and the IRS deemed to be legal. since when should an individual be punsihed for his/her acumen, skill, gift. Sports people movie stars are rewarded for their skills. romney's skill is in finance so I see no justification to attack him unless and until it has been established in a court of law or IRS ruling that romney did something illegal.

Now go bone up on your finance and accounting lessons

I am not sure exactly what this means. Can you clarify the meaning of this ?

I don't want to simply say "so what" however.....

Guest 07-31-2012 09:08 PM

and some will take the medias portrayal of Romney's performance while traveling????

Given the medias bias to make sure Obama comes across always as golden.....no matter what.....and that only the negatives of the opposition are highlighted......seems like some of you will be duped per the plan!!
